Is there such a thing as a proper decent stereo desk mix warts and all Queen gig? Or do I have the choice of a plastered over semi performance flossed and buffered studio 'live' gig and a crappy dictaphone audience recording?

That's why if released, it shouldn't take the place of releasing any other concert. Honestly, it seems like it would make a pretty shitty release and we've already seen it in it's best quality possible unlike all the other 70's gigs. ===============================
Agreed also. I think this should be a bonus to Hyde Park. And ditch the title Legendary "75 Concert. Any non Queen fan would think 'I'd hate to see one of there un-legendary concerts'!
And finally, turn Freddie's vocal down! If it was the '79 show fine, but when he's off key etc like this, it really shouldn't be cutting through the mix the way it does. Vocals down, guitars up!
If they release Hyde Park I sure hope they either turn Freddie's vocals down in the mix or fix his pitch like they did with Montreal '81's Bo Rhap which they made sound even more spectacular.

I always thought this wasn't a very good concert, especially Freddie's vocals are awful this evening. He's flat almost the entire time.
Ah well... still a nice document :)

Yes, it's just a bit over familiar now isn't it? Imagine if this was discovered now and we were seeing it for the first time?
And I'll always say the Rare Live edit of the RNR Medley trumps the full version.

That's it exactly. It's a solid performance, but one we've seen/heard so much it tends to get a bit boring. Personally, I think the segue into MotBQ is one of Queen's better moments.
