It's not right to accuse Queen of releasing Montreal five times because they did not own it the first four. They can release it one or two times once THEY own it...right? Shheesh.
No accusations thrown. All that was asked for was a grand total regardless of who was behind each release.
I was very happy with Queen on fire and Queen rock montreal. But now it's time for a seventies release and the Hammy'79 show is the ideal candidate. They should release the best stuff in their archive. And they should search their archive to find gems. Maybe they have a fantastic show, just audio, in the archive(and probably there's more than 1). Why not release it then?
I wouldn't give myself false hopes.
It's much more probable that, as we speak, QPL is planning a new Greatest Hits CD/DVD featuring the same same same old hits plus SINT and C-Lebrity.

Save Me from Hammy '79 is maybe Freddie's best live vocal performance...

Then Hammy'75 was to get a release. No multi-tracks again but this time its because they dont exist and never have done. The 1/4inch stereo tape was worked on. Even Greg confirmed that Richard Grey had done the DVD cover. Why was it shelved? Honestly dont know.

Hold on a moment, hammy 75 multi-tracks must exist because the rebroadcast on swedish radio in 2005 was a completely new mix (and much better), just compare it to the original mixes on the westwood one discs, there are brand new effects on individual instruments. Plus the band was allowed to do overdubs after the show so there had to be some multi-track facility in place. The reason the DVD was pulled is because of queens poor relationship with the BBC. The Beeb clame ownership of the footage and are asking too much money for it, other artists have experienced similar problems as the going rate for footage is quite phenominal.

How about Houston'77? Isn't it a "releaseable" gig?

SINT won't qualify as a "hit" technically, cos it peaked around 75, so it wasn't a Top 40 hit.
Hopefully "C-lebrity" will perform much better.

There are 2 audio mixes of Hammersmith 75 - for radio and TV. It was a BBC recording - it would have been recored straight to stereo (two different feeds were recorded for the different mediums - the radio version pisses all over the tv mix)... no chance of correcting any fault (hence the almighty fuckup on Liar) or remixing. It's not exactly one the bands better gigs anyway.

Care to share with us how you know that? Or was it just a guess? More likely that we'll get something from the QPR tour surely? But if you are correct Budapest is the most likely next release. After all, it meets all Queen productions' criteria:
1. It's already been released before
2. Anyone who is more than a casual fan already has it
3. Fred has a moustache
4. Has all the hits
5. Minimal amount of work for supposedly maximum amount of profit.

Yeah, I wondered that too.
By flooding the market do they mean a "Classic Queen" concert DVD competing against a singles boxset, featuring songs everyone already have, or "The Cosmos Rocks", a CD nobody wants???
