Hammersmith'75 to be released (from Brian's soapbox)

Finally, a seventies show. Happy days.

But I won't hold my breath waiting for great bonus footage. It will probably be something from the musical ;)

i wonder what bonus footage will be on there. But all in all finally they wake up and release something good.

That's the Brian May this world needs: more DVD's, less American Idol.

Too damn right!
Glad Hammy 75 will be the next official Queen release. Best release since years!

at least we know Brian, Roger and Bob Harris have been filming some interviews for it, that´s for sure ;)

I wonder if they'll use any of the Rainbow footage as "bonus material". Hammersmith is pretty short compared to previous live Queen DVDs.

I was thinking the same... The concert's pretty short if compared to all previous live DVDs, does that mean we'll get a decent amount of bonus footage (at least as much as we got on the Wembley or on the Bowl gigs) to make up for it?

Is it true that the last 2 tracks were filmed by one camera? If so, this has to be on the DVD in some form!?

Was the entire show filmed?

Not according to Queen Concerts - "64 minutes, professional recording. The BBC crew packed their cameras before the second encore, that's why Seven Seas Of Rhye and See What A Fool I've Been are not available on video."

Doesn't mean one camera wasn't still filming for whatever reason - that would be good enough reason not to include them in proper broadcasts.

Of course, hopefully that is the case.

Or maybe that one will be kept for a future Rainbow'74 DVD release, since they're from the same tour...? I guess it's pretty safe to dream on now, let's just hope Hammy'75 does well on the charts so that QP will feel more confident about releasing more old jewels :)

Don't get too excited. I expect a 2 DVD release, 1st disc being the gig (the TV broadcast edit), and the second disc being an interview with Bob Harris + the BBC performances. Or they may even squeeze it to 1 DVD

Great news! :-)
