The reason is simple - the soundboard multitracks were "lost" . That's the reason why all released segments feature the not -so-good-quality sound captured by the video cameras
Like we give a s**t.
The bootleg video sound of this concert is very good.
If Queen Productions can release a limited 10,000 run of The Singles Boxsets because they don;t think they'll sell more than that, then they sure as hell should have no problem releasing Hammy 79 on DVD in the same quantities.

Don't get me wrong, I would be probably the person who would buy the first released copy of this DVD since it's my favorite Queen concert :-) But I'm finally reading Greg's "Queen Live" and I'm shocked about the incredible bitching about the quality of the bootlegs. Brian had in the past also similar things to say
well, if it causes too much trouble concert released on DVD, then another option might be to convey on TV, the full concert for the people of Kampuchea "
But we definitely need to allow fans who can see that concert and not parts and poor quality as are those that are available.
1) Concert for Kampuchea - 90 minutes movie, Queen is represented with the first half of Now I'm Here and Crazy Little Thing Called Love, the best available version comes from a WoWoW broadcast, the sound comes from the soundboard tapes
2) The Queen Special - a German TV show (~50 min) shot by ITV (if I recall correctly), uses DIFFERENT angles than the previous source, it features the original sound as recorded by the cameras. Intercut with funny (sometimes) interviews by celebrities and "celebrities", even "Her Majesty".
3) "Convention video 1"
4) "Convention video 2" - features headache making special effects during Now I'm Here and Get Down Make Love. The sound on both videos is mono, recorded by the cameras
5) Now I'm Here and IILWMC from Absolute Greatest - a unique edit featuring different angles compared to the convention videos, I'm not sure how they compare to the previous sources (I compared them only to "source 3"
I, for example, if I could ever see this concert in full with this quality for example.

I would not mind being in mono sound.
And I understand that QueenProduction has the master tapes, the problem is the sound nothing else [/QUOTE]So I think we should make a formal request to QueenProduction, or in case the concert last pass it again on television[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]PS: pardon my English is not my native language [/QUOTE]
Look what I found on youtube.[/QUOTE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EAffAPuPzA [/QUOTE]It would be great if you throw the whole entire concert, I do not care if the quality is mono. [/QUOTE]PS: Please take out Bohemian Rhapsody T T [/QUOTE]
