Very disappointing that they're not releasing any bonus material. Let's face it, we're not going to see anything interesting from the tour as there won't be any future releases. This was Queen Productions big chance to do something right for a change and they've completely blown it. Still, it's hardly a surprise: Queen and "quality" are increasingly parting ways.

I have to reluctantly agree with your comments - this was such a perfect opportunity to really produce something unique and we get a very run of the mill DVD. I appreciate the size of this audience but beyond that what's new? I'd have loved to have seen a fly on the wall documentary of what goes on behind a tour like this and I'm sure the band etc and the various venues they encountered could have made for some really exciting tv output but unfortunately this will never happen. Really what would they have lost if they'd done something like this and released a number of full concerts at the same time from the tour. They could have really set the bar for what others would have to live up to.
Dont' get me wrong I really appreciate what Paul, Brian and Roger have done in recent years but with a little more thought they could have produced something really really special. They've let the cameras in behind the scenes in the past - look at the Magic Years volume 1 or the NATO classic albums recording for the BBC - maybe they should title the live album that goes with the new DVD - 'Opportunities Lost' instead of 'The Cosmos Rocks' ? Even if they put together a compilation of the various press conferences on the DVD that we all witnessed from the Ukraine and the South American gigs this would be at least something but no all we ever get is vanilla.
I'll still buy this but wish for something more comprehensive which will now never happen.

Never say never ;)
I'm sure something will get released, almost positive. Just have to wait a bit longer for it......every.......single............time. :D

So you think Queen + PR will release another DVD or CD from this tour? I'd be willing to bet £20 to your or my favourite charity that you're wrong on that one. Meet me up a tree this time next year to see who's won ;)

sadly this will never happen. unless they re-release Ukraine on blu ray and include south america as a bonus feature
I understand why, from a techical point of view, the would want release Ukraine instead of south america. south america was shot on regular video, and ukraine in HD.
However; when they don't release it on blu-ray, it might as well have been south america - even though the local director probably isn't in david mallet's league

Actually I have to say I found his Work on Live in Sheffield awful because he made to many and to fast cuts, I think that's okay for a music video but if I watch a live concert I don't want a director who tries to make one big music video out of it but one who just records what's going on on stage. Because of these fast cuts you barely notice those things like the communication between the band!
Super live in Japan, live in chile or most of the old ones (Wembley, On Fire, Budapest, Montreol) are much better, because these directors just captured what was going on on stage, and did not try to make one big peace of artvideo out of it!!
But tha'ts just my opinion

and for those that missed it, the US release of the CD/DVD will come a MONTH LATER than the UK release.
