Live in Ukraine's US release: September 8th and is exclusive to...

...Best Buy, all per Brian May's web site.

Don't bother with it unless you are a collector, it's a poor gig and the band are NOT tight at all at this stage.
Don't get me wrong, i love the QPR project but compared to Retun of the champions it's sub standard.
One vision sounds like a shitty tribute band trying ever so hard to sound like queen! They should really have
waited till the south american gigs to record and edit to dvd I think. Anyway i'm sure you'll all have your own
opinions. By now.

"poor gig"

hahahahahah

what's so funny you strange little fella?

I got the dvd and its image quality is pretty high. Also the sound.
I think is a good gig because they play in a row so many excellent songs and solos.


Cheers,

Roger's solo on this show is pretty poor, however on later shows he has formatted it and grown with it performing more technical and audio appealing solos. Later shows are mostly better?

Maybe you´re right. But, I think this is an evidence of the whole tour, which was quite good.
Comparing with other nowadays´groups (if we can consider them as such), I think The Cosmos Rocks and its tour were pretty high benchmarks.

I'm slightly pissed that this wasn't released any sooner.  But to be honest, I was never THAT excited to see or hear it.  I'm much more interested in the announcement that Brian May made about releasing a 70s concert finally.

I prefered RETURN OF THE CHAMPIONS than live in Ukraine;.... RTC was more exciting because the Queen fans wanted to see Bri & Rog again.. but now i can see that today the fans does't want to see them again with Paul!

excuse me i have another opinion: Cosmos rocks was in front of a 350.000 people audience, in a country where QUeen has never played (come on Sheffield is round the corner for them...so boring!) for a specific aim (against hiv).
the bnd is not tight, but the audience in sheffield was poor, and the show too much tied, if you know what i mean.

there are some edits because the show was far from being perfect, i second you on that. A south american show would have sounded better but...you can't have everything!Moreover...we have great recordings of the south american shows ;)
yeah!

It is a pitty that they did not have that much time to rehearse, but this is an interesting document, anyway. The sound and video quality is amazing. I think the best of their live DVDs from this era is Super Live in Japan. THAT was a tight band and a great setlist.

Cheers,

I have just received an e-mail from Amazon Japan offering me Live in Ukraine. As I don't know a word of japanese, I ran it through Google language tools. This is the "translated" tracklist. I loved "C-reburiti". :D

Ha! Thailand Your Mother Down - wonderful! That's is why I never use internet-translators. They are only for a good laugh!

the 'reburiti' part would actually be how it's romanized back from the katakana characters used (they use katakana mainly for foreign loanwords, and hiragana & kanji for native Japanese words). The "C-" part doesn't change though.

I've seen much much stranger things for Japanese song titles, given their fanatical use of Engrish :-P

That said, I thought "14. ITTSU knots True Say" was the most hilarious one there.

actually looking forward to songs like Shooting Star and Bad Company live on a good quality DVD ...and any other material not played on the previous versions....I thought the Japan DVD was the best....South America would have been really cool but not in the cards
