Hi All,
I'm wondering if anyone can clear up a question about the quality of various versions of this concert. I've downloaded (via torrent) a file called "Queen - 1977 - Live in Houston - Definitive Houston Silver." (There seem to be different versions of this on torrent sites, but all with the same name; this version is 3.88 GB). While the video is good, it is not great. I began my hunt for this concert because of clips from it found on YouTube. Once I had the full concert downloaded, I compared a section of it with a clip of "The Millionaire Waltz" (from this same show) which is posted on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCeEcWwe52w). The image quality of that clip is simply outstanding--very clear and sharp. The video I have, by comparison, looks soft, fuzzy, grainy--just poor overall. Does anyone know the source of that clip? and where can I find it? In short, I want to know what is the best video version of this concert. (I saw comments above about the different audio versions; I'm less concerned about the audio). Thanks for the help.

That clip was released by the band either on iTunes or through the official website. I forget which, but there were a couple sets of old concert videos released in the last few years.
The best available complete copy of the show is likely a second gen copy, and it's still quite good, both video and audio. But at the moment the Queen Productions copy is limited to a few songs and the odd documentary clip. Don't hold your breath waiting for this show to be released in full. Rainbow 74 and Hammersmith 75/79 are all far more likely to be released.

maybe this youtube clip is one of the video extra officially released with the "absolute greatest" cd
Yes, the poster on YouTube (FredMTheBest) confirmed that his video is one of the Bonus videos made available online (on queenonline.com) with the release of the Absolute Greatest collection.
