Am I still welcome at your birthday garden party in October? Or should I tear up my invitation?

You are odd, maybe I like you after all.
John, I would also buy it, hell, pre-order it
as fast as possible.
I would do just about anything to send a
message to QP regarding 70s Queen
live.
Perhaps even play the silly game GB
has set forth, and smile bemusedly at
his attempts to wind you up. Perhaps.

I'd DEFINITELY buy it.
On the other hand, I seriously doubt I'll buy the re-re-re-(...)-release of Montreal'81.

I'd certainly buy it. An excellent quality recording of one of history's most famous and well-loved bands in their infancy would be the equivalent of finding the Holy Grail. What songs did they play at this gig John?
This is the setlist they played:
01 - Procession
02 - Father To Son
03 - Son and Daughter
04 - See What A Fool I've Been
05 - Ogre Battle
06 - Liar
07 - Jailhouse Rock (Shake Rattle & Roll, Stupid Cupid, Be Bop A Lula)
08 - Big Spender
09 - Bama Lama Loo

Thanks Jay.

What about a serious, useful response to this serious, useful topic instead? Or should we forward the question to someone at QP who can actually behave like an adult?

JSS,
Yes, I'd be interested in buying ANY VINTAGE Queen archival material.
However, I have reservations about the size of the market that this would appeal to. Archive releases are, by nature, of interest to a smaller band of followers than the standard GH releases which we all love to hate.
The effort producing something like this takes outweighs the return any major label will get back. Thus, QPL / Parlophone would be FAR BETTER outsourcing something like this to a smaller imprint such as Reprise Records etc. Or, follow what The Who / Peter Gabriel / Genesis did and do it via themusic.com as internet-only orderable discs:

There's simply no mileage in ot for them as much as we'd like to see ir.

Ben - sorry but that's rubbish. Just because it won't sell the same amount as a greatist hits release doesn't mean EMI wouldn't be interested or that it wouldn't make money - EMI have plents of artists who don't sell a fraction of Queen have or do. Of cource it would make money. I doubt there is any possible release featuring all Queen material that would be a loss maker for EMI or QPL. Queen have an extremely large core fan base.
They do have a huge fan core base. But you forgot that they're not releasing anything for the fans...
yes, but only if it's still dripping with that wabisabi goo :P

Oh, I'm more than aware of that. QPL don't give a fuck about Queen fans... they're only interested in releases that the general public will be interested in. There are so many options for them to release things which they know won't go to number one in some chart somewhere but they don't won't to release anything that isn't already available. Actually... as for re-releases... I wouldn't mind them releasing the promo videos again on DVD... in good quality this time.

And as long as there are people calling for rehashed product there will be no need for anything new or vital.

Well - they majorly fucked those 2 releases up. They shouldn't have cropped for widescreen and they should have got a professional team to remaster the footage not their in house team - and all the video's should have been released together in one package inc. the Innuendo ones. QPL aren't going to let go of anything unreleased anyway - that is more than obvious. They're more interested in hoarding than releasing what they know fans have wanted for years. For instance - they're never going to release a proper 70's gig are they? The best they're ever gonna do is release a compilation of clips.
