>>when a dvd and cd set are released, at all costs, they are supposed to mirror each other. It's the norm.

Incorrect. Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars are different. The Stones' Rock And Roll Circus & 40 Licks are different. Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs And Englishmen film and CD are different. There's no reason on earth why they SHOULD be the same a they will never be played together at the same time, unless, of course, the soundtrack to the film is badly mixed / mastered. They serve different purposes for the viewer and listener at different times.

What's more, they weren't released as a "set" which implies they are purchased together. Plenty of people will only have one or the other for the reasons above.

>>Now, I'm sure that if they'd had the original negatives, and that some loon hadn't gotten rid of them,

For christ's sake. If you like, I'll call you as well as that other guy to explain if you like.....?

FORGET that there was EVER a film of the shows. My line of enquiry surrounds the ******CD****** release of the show. The fact that Freddie changed his clothes has no bearing on the *AUDIO ALONE* and is why "Jailhouse Rock" being where it is on the ******CD****** release is such a glaring error.

Have a look at the recent re-issue of Zep's "Songe Remains" soundtrack. No wierd insertions of songs in the wrong place there and a decidedly *AVERAGE" Zep show appears as THE definitive version. QPL qould now have to re-issue QRM on CD in order for it to be definitive, which this release already falsely claims to be.

I think you need to get over your obsession with this DVD.

If it helps, I am willing to give you a 10% discount on my black rhino lips, for use in any pipette-type activity that you might engage in.

Clever again, but you've left yourself open to *other people* also thinking that you're an illiterate, incapable of reading posts properly and thoroughly before firing off non-sensical responses.

"Pipette-type" activity? You'll have to explain that one please.

If you haven't got anything interesting or relevant to contribute, then please, sod off to another board you have something in common with.

Below would be a good starting point for you, although you may want to dig deeper n order to find specific forums for your specific disorder:

So you want to haggle then? Okay, I'll make it 15%, if you also buy one of my dolphin teeth necklaces.

Yep I was right - can't even answer simple questions.
Benn
What irks me more than anything about QZ these days is the fact that moderate people with good questions are treated like pariahs if they see anything negative about Queen. If Benn hadn't phrased his question to Brian decently and professionally, I could understand why no response would be forthcoming. He's not trying to bring down the Queen empire, he just wants to know why, if the "boys" were treating QRM with their loving care, why couldn't they have used the actual running order? I e-mailed Jen to ask Brian if he understood that people who weren't keen on the Queen name being used going forward would feel the same if it were him, John or Roger out of the band. I asked a truly legitimate question to a man who is an amazing human being, I didn't attack him or say "stop using Queen" it's not your name to do that. I asked a moderate, well mannered question in response to Brian's standard response that people who don't want to see the Queen name being used want him and Roger to stop making music and shrivel up and die as he phrased it. That is nonsense. It's like the people he called "parasites" a few years back, then he backstepped and apologized. He recently attacked a guitar guy, but when there was a response from the guy he attacked outlining what really happened, Brian removed his post from the site.

The point is, bitching about stuff on QZ won't change a thing. If there is a form available to question the people who can affect change, then we should use it. Benn and I have both asked legitimate, well put and respectful questions that are about 100th in a queue of 90 for being answered, because they don't fit in with everything being positive, even though they are not even close to negative questions. And that filters through to QZ where people who pose legitimate questions are treated like they've called Brian and QP Nazis.
You know, good times are now.
I like some of your points BTR, but this thread is too much for me. I need to concentrate on me.

Benn, I accept what you're saying on this. Can you return the courtesy and accept what I'm saying? I meant that cd and dvd releases of the same concert -normally- mirror each other. And of course, not everyone in the biz thinks the same way, which is why those releases you mention don't follow that way of thinking. That's all.

Adam.

EDIT: You've got MLHBS?? Oh no...how embarrassing. I wanted to re-record it recently. Unfortunately, I just found that one of my discs with the original mix file is corrupted. :( Looks like I'll need to start from scratch. Word to the wise - DON'T USE CHEAP CD MEDIA! And if you have, BACKUP onto new discs NOW!! I've noticed quite a few cdr's from 6 years ago going bad...*sigh*
Adam, re:

Fair enough - we all have our own things to deal with and, after all, Queen isn't that important in the grand scheme of things.

>>Benn, I accept what you're saying on this. Can you return the courtesy and accept what I'm saying? I meant that cd and dvd releases of the same concert -normally- mirror each other.

Adam, I accept that you have your own view on this, but I simply can't agree with you. There was an opportunity here and it was missed. As have other opportunites in the past and will continue to be in the future if they are not highlighted.

The debate, though, is good and healthy; fun too in many ways ,;-)
Benn
lol ok dokey.

Peace out folks!
Adam.

EDIT: I know it's nothing personal. :)
"The debate, though, is good and healthy; fun too in many ways ,;-)"

Yes! If we're all honest, there are issues with whaling, health care, global warming and war that trivialize this, yer here we are. Ironically, Adam is one of the good guys, and contributes tons here, I hope he doesn't feel that any of the disagreements are personal. I've learned on this thread, and given the current state of this board, this has been interesting. A guy I worked with once said "question up." That means bitching about stuff to people who can't affect change is wasted time, Benn did a good service by questioning the release, and brought a healthy discussion into the open about the type of product QP always release. It won't change until what I call, and not in a negative way, the "casual" fan asks for more than the bare minimum, and the same old, same old greatest hits packages with a new name and cover.
You know, good times are now.
Good stuff Adam, I always like your contributions and you're a valuable asset to a place where assets are dwindling. As you'd say,

Peace.
You know, good times are now.
