Greg told us that the next DVD will probably be Hammersmith 75. The BBC removed 2 songs on the broadcast. These will be put back for DVD release, but he couldn't confirm any releaseing date/time.
Budapest 86 will might be released, since they can do a blue ray release, but some camera takes need to be collected. Q prod. work with it, but again no releaseing time. Might take a time (some years) with thisone.
Have in mind that Greg work in the archives, NOT in Q. Prod group who makes final decision what's the next release will be.
So stop complain him for things not are released yet.

I don't think it will be a Hyde Park show - as I believe these exist in the archive and wouldn't be a surprise to Greg.

It could be a crazy concert tour? as I have understood that recorded clip Save Me for professional cameras, and perfectly able to have recorded the entire concert (liverpool?, Newcastle?, Bristol?)
Although it is only speculation, but can not find another concert that can be released on bluray (Hammersmith 1979 has terrible audio quality, and to say Houston 1977 Earls Court 1977)
PS: If so, would explain the "Carry On" by Freddie in bohemian rhapsody at the Newcastle concert

Really ? That's the direct opposite of what brian's wig wrote ?

COMING BACK ON TOPIC.....!!!!
Greg Brooks confirmed at
convention this weekend that it was "imminent".
It was delayed
because of plans to include a documentary which has since fallen
through.
He also confirmed that there is NO video footage recorded
by the BBC after transmission ceased :(

I'm no pro on the live show detail - but I believe that the BBC cut two songs (Ogre Battle and I think White or Black Queen) before transmissions - these are the ones going back in. As is known, the encore (7 Seas/See What A Fool) was not filmed, which is probably what the poster refers to.

Oh thanks, this makes sense.
I thought he was talking about the encores :-)

Wow sure in some ways there are some really exciting songs played at Hammersmith but then again where are many that could have been done? For example why is there only one song from "A Night At The Opera" ("Bohemian Rhapsody")? If only, if only...

Yes, this was what Greg told about. He couldn't remember which tracks. He guess Q.Prod. will make a DVD of it in not to far future. Probably next DVD release, and with a cd includeing FULL show with 2nd. encore which wasn't filmed.

Because they had to cut back the setlist for a 60 minute live TV broadcast. Most of the new songs were dropped because they probably wanted to play things that people would recognize, not new songs off an album that had been released only a month earlier.

They should definitely add Hammersmith 1979 to this set as well...don't you all think?

Perhaps Tokyo '75 would be more appropriate as a bonus...

I agree with your thinking, but with ANATO being number 1 by then, there's a fair chance that people would recognise MORE of that than KYA/Liar/Son&Daughter from the obscure first album.

No, nothing more. Greg was very cagey. Based on the other stuff we saw, I'd guess a 70's show that was filmed (as opposed to for TV). It was a surprise to him that it existed, so I can only imagine it is not one of the 'known' filmed shows. I'd guess a Crazy show, possibly Day at the Races or News of the World - but wouldn't put money on it! The Houston stuff I've seen is quite bad quality (in the DVD world), so I doubt it's that.

Thanks for the info Gordon!
Were there any plans or hints of releasing Hammersmith 1979 on DVD in the near future? This is undoubtedly Queen's and especially Freddie's best live performance, even better than Newcastle 1979. I think it would be a real shame if QP were not to release this magnificent show on DVD. The sound quality cannot be the issue, because other bands have released far worse material on DVD. I think that the main issue is that Brian doesn't seem to understand that Hammersmith 1979 is Queen's best live performance and that they actually have this one on video.

It was mentioned that there are few shows worthy of HD due to the filming quality (Montreal/Budapest?), with shows like Wembley being as good as they could be on DVD already

It wouldn't surprise me if he's said that - but plenty of so called "standard definition" video would hugely benefit from a bluray release. Just for starters - you're guaranteed a proper lossless audio track. Then there's the fact that the Wembley DVD in particular is nowhere even near full DVD quality as the bit rate is so low. Basically any analogue sourced video would benefit from blu-ray - as long as the producers go back to the master and transfer at the higher rate.

Was Tokyo 1975 filmed? If so how well? I thought that this show was not filmed.
