according to http://queentour2005.wegotit.at/ - the ukraine gig will be the official dvd from the tour
that's pretty brave - the very first show. paul sounds great - but they have alot of overdubbing to do!!!! c-lebrity sounded terrible, and some of brian's solos were off...

Yeah , it would be good to have a song from each gig for the DVD to pick out the best performances.
also Roger's vocals were not very good, or, at least, not as good as later in the tour
Is anyone really surprised (assuming it's true)? A crowd of 350,000, directed by David Mallet....what, you think it was only gonna be available through some shitty Russian/Ukraine web site or something?
and one assumes a companion CD will be released as well.
not surprised - apart from the fact that it's the first gig on the tour, and it only featured to songs from the new album (not counting SINT)
looking forward to it - the live broadcast has some errors on it, playing wise -so they definitely has to do some fixing in the studio

Bet your ass they record Rio as well.
Although I can see the commercial sense in this, in as much as it was being filmed in HD for TV anyway, it seems strange to release the first show of the tour. By their own admission, the band got so much tighter as the 2005 show progressed and they say that by the US shows they were really smokin'. As ths tour goes on they will improve in presentation and sound, and the possibility of songs from the new album to be added to the DVD will be there (didn't they only play two new Cosmos Rocks songs in Ukraine?) Essentially this new DVD will not really be as interesting as the Super Live In Japan which at least contained exclusive versions of I Was Born To Love You and Teo Torriatte.
In addition, as well as Roger's voice not really being at it's best, it also wasn't a Queen crowd due to it being a free event. If you record a gig that is a paying event attended by a far greater percentage of true Queen fans as opposed t 'Joe Public' the crowd reaction and interaction is far better for a DVD release.
I would be surprised though if they don't film a later show for release at some of the the South America dates so that we have two releases from the tour as per last time.

Would anybody be REALLY surprised about this?
The exclusive bonus dvd of the album (the edited version) of Super Live In Japan was used because it's costs were practically zero, and this time around Hollywood Records is footing most of the bill for their promotion costs.
Minimum effort for maximum profit, that's the Queen Productions motto.

Bitch bitch bitch, that's the Tero motto :-)
Anybody REALLY surprised about this?

What's the matter? The truth hurts you that much?
Tero, for someone who doesnt take any interest in Q+PR you certainly post a lot about them.
Thats what happens when you start using the name of a band I'm interested in.

True... but if you compare the energy of the guys and setlist to the latest show ( Hannover or....) three or four songs are now already shortened. Paul takes a day or two rest between the gigs. The first nights his voice has probably the cleanest and crisp sound

I thought Liverpool was planned for filming
