Well I hope you didn't expect much from the topic name....;-)

Simply my question is : how big is the chanche that Queen would, or specificly COULD release this show on DVD. I am wondering this considering the poor quality video that was used on ANATO 30th. anniversary DVD set. The footage used is in poor quality...

I really hope this show will see the daylight soon... any thoughts ?

I think the main problem is that it has an unrecognisable Freddie - short hair, no 'tashe - the public wouldn't know who the hell it is.

Don't htink that is the problem dysyan... Otherwise they could edit a moustache in the picture... all the time to make him look like 1980+...

Any ideas why Queen used such crappy video feed on the previous releases like the ANATO dvd and Magic years.. ?

Oh to have some of the later 70's Queen concerts 'officially' released on DVD (and/or Blu)...

Well yeah, I did....because you set it out like an announcement rather than a question. Shame on you :)

Seriously, though - I didn't think the officially released snippets were too bad.  I reckon they could release it....even if only as a "fan only" download through QIFC or Itunes.

Don't worry about the video quality. All Queen tapes were transferred back in the days to a spare mastercopies. These are used for short promo's and clips once is a while. 

For the new DVD releases like Montreal and Milton Keynes I believe Qp transferred the old original masters straight unconpressed to digital format and than worked on it. These transfers cost a hell amount of time and money, so when QP WILL decided to release the Hammersmith show 1979 for a commercial DVD, they probably tansfer the old masters to. (if they have them????)

For my point of view I think they did transfer Hammersmith 1975 and Earls Court already. The video quality is absolutely mindblowing.

Maybe Christmas 2011?

I never thought that they would release the first Wembley concert, so I hope they surprise me again...

I've heard that out of all the 70's recorded concerts, this would look the best on blu-ray quality wise so there's hope.
It's late, but it's time to set me free It's late, yes I know but there's no way it has to be Too late, so let the fire take our bodies this night So late, so let the waters take our guilt in the t

I think Hammersmith odeon 1979 will never release officially, because was problems with microphone Freddie

I'm resigned to the fact that I'll probably never get to see these shows before I die. I'm sure if they had planned to release them at all they would of done it by now. So sick of Wembley! :(

Don't you know that Queen didn't exist before 1980?

Next year will be about Live Albums , so if it doesn t come out in 2012 I think it will never!

Interesting to know if they ll put out "Live Magic" remastered and expanded, considering that Wembley in one month will see the light again.
