they won't release anything from the 70's because there are lots of songs on the setlists the current generation of their fans are definitely unaware of(Ogre Battle, Now I'm Here, Let Me Entertain You, etc.)

[/QUOTE]
Then what better way to introduce the songs than with a highly-promoted brand new DVD of them in their 70s prime?

It wouldn't sell well, my friend. People would look at the song list and fight shy of it seeing the unfamiliar names. Queen is all about the money nowadays; I doubt these concerts will get released while Brian and Roger are still alive.

What, no "Return Of The Champions"??

I'm disappointed in the Q+PR fans.

These are actually both the same show... the most bootlegged Queen show ever, as it's been broadcast on the radio countless times.

Gosh, I hate the sound on the Milton Keynes DVD. Especially the drum sound. It's too prominent in contrast to the backing vocals, which are far too buried in the mix. I wish they had kept the original sound, much much better. At least, that's my opinion. The only drums-related part I like, is the small interlude in Back Chat.

I still don't get the Wembley '86 fetish. 

Best Live Rock Album ever is Montreal '81 to me.

The list is a load of ole pish, no Live At Leeds or If You Want Blood You've Got It those two albums are far superior to any Queen live album

****LIVE KILLERS**** THAT ALBUM JUST BLEW MY MIND WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT, AND ON VINYL IT TAKES YOU STRAIGHT TO A 70'S QUEEN GIG. FOR ME THIS IS THE ULTIMATE LIVE ALBUM

One thing I just noticed after visiting the site- "Live At Wembley" is matched up with Led Zeppelin's "The Song Remains The Same". What the fuck? This further lowers my opinion of the website owners. If you're gonna put TSRTS in the poll, then match it up against Queen's "Live At The Rainbow", which would be a more proper comparison. In that case, Queen wins(IMO) but with How The West Was Won, LZ wins every time. 'cept for maybe "Hello Mary Lou" which I think Freddie sings better.

I thought that Thin Lizzy had it with Live and Dangerous or James Brown with Live at the Apollo

I think that poll isn't worth shit because the site already has a demographic bias. The majority of people on that site Queen fans, because of the site's over-propagation on Queen fansites. Not that I'm dissing Live at Wembley, I'm just saying that the votes don't matter shit.

There's also a lot of Bon Jovi fans. And Bon Jovi is shit. Their lyrics, one can sing them before even hearing them. So simple.

Thanks for posting this!  As usual on VoteNumber1 it is a close contest at the moment between Queen, BonJovi, and Journey fans, but this time Bruce Springsteen fans are also jumping in.  I hope everyone keeps voting each day (I bookmarked it and check it when I first log on each day) so that Queen can win it this time.  ;D

I loved Live at Wembley when I bought it.  Then I got a torrent of Earls Court from Queenzone and realised there was a time when Freddie didn't sound like a saxophone.

I've got Live at the Bowl and Montreal now and they honestly blow Wembley out of the water, though there's some things I dearly love about the latter DVD.  Bursting onto the stage with One Vision, for instance.  Little things here and there.

You state that as if there's something wrong with simplicity.  Some of the best songs ever written are incredibly simplistic.

Like it or not, there are probably just about as many people who can sing along to Livin' On A Prayer as there are people who can sing We Will Rock You.
