Forget Video Hits 3 and the Hammersmith Two, I wanna know when Rare Live will be released on DVD. Please join me in airing my support for the release of this quality feature on DVD format. Despite the fact the majority of songs are actually 'common live' and other glaring inaccuracies, this is still an outstanding release that would benefit greatly from a DVD release with added extra and bonus features (perhaps the addition of Bohemian Rhapsody which was also a 'rare live' track). This has to be the best item in the Queen back catalog and anyone who wishes to join me in petitioning for it to released on DVD, please leave a post.

"extra and bonus features"?
Don't spoil the fun! Rare Live is masterpiece that doesn't need in extra and bonus features like Mona Lisa needs no any extra and bonus features.

Oh God NO!
It is indeed a work of staggering genius. I mean, the way the torpedo twins chopped up some of the videos in that "close your eyes and hope for the best" editing style is just...awe inspiring. I only watched it once and never again I was so impressed.
Rare Live on DVD? potentially a good idea
AS LONG AS IT'S NOT A REISSUE OF THAT FUCKING AWFUL VHS.
Bear with me -
There are a number of concerts for which some footage exists, but not enough to go for a full scale release - and DVD is ideal for such things.
Disc 1
Rainbow 74 (60 mins)
Munich 79 (20 mins)
Vienna 82 (20 mins)
Disc 2
Stuttgart 84 (30 mins)
Live Aid (30 mins)
Newcastle 86 (20 mins)
No complaints from me in that scenario - and I wouldn't whine if it was only stereo sound too to be honest.

A potentially good idea, but ruined beyond any enjoyment and recognition by QP.
For a DVD release we would get a 65-minute long "special edition" with a handful of QPR performances sliced in the middle of the more complete performances of the original tape.
As for the remastering of the release...
Just think of all the picture ratio issues on the GVH discs, but imagine them changing back and forth every five seconds to make the programme completely unbearable.
Then think of a sound mix which goes from fake surround to stereo to surround (and from volume setting 20% to 50%) within ten seconds of Tie Your Mother Down, and you're getting close to how horribly QP will fuck up this title if its ever released on DVD!
(I didn't sound too harsh, did I? :P )

Rare Live? I'm still suffering from the flashbacks. The worst Queen VHS ever. Edited by a pair of lunatics.
That's like asking for Live Magic on DVD-AUDIO...
I'm trying to forget that I've seen Rare Live :)

Hang on a minute...
There's something in the poster's name 'fat_buddino' ('FAT' as in 'FATTY') that makes me suspicious that this isn't a wind up.
'Petition for Rare LIve DVD' indeed ;)

The idiocy is dripping from your post. You didn't see the bloody thing so you can't judge it. It's actually better than any of Queen's dvd's.

I have the DVD and yes I have seen it. There were a lot of wrongly named shows and dates.
