Live Magic performances

The Knebworth mixes on Live Magic sound great - especially the drums. I'd love to see a full Knebworth CD released (though not at the expense of Hammersmith 79, Earls Court, Houston etc!!)

O.O

Is this year the year we'll finally get Knebworth on CD?

I honestly hope not. Hyde Park and hopefully more goods from 1976 instead.

Just wanna drop my 2 cents here:
Before, I thought I wanted to see Knebworth on CD, but now I feel like they wasted the opportunity back in '12 when Hungarian Rhapsody came out. They could have released a Super Deluxe edition of that album, including the Budapest gig and Knebworth in four discs, like how Live At The Rainbow has two concerts. As it stands, i'm already happy with pittrek's merge of Knebworth, and will be looking forward to Hyde Park being released.

still waiting for a deluxe edition of Live Magic...

Agreed. By far, it's the best sounding of all the 1986 officially released stuff.

[/QUOTE]Roger has said that the sound on stage was awesome at Knebworth. It looks like Knebworth was in terms of sound the best of the recorded concerts so hopefully this will lead to the best 1986 audio release one day (soon)... There's something truly magical about this show. Not just that it was their last but also the atmosphere in general. Wembley also has a great atmosphere but at Knebworth the playing was better (certainly compared to the second night at Wembley) and FM's voice was better (especially during the first part of the concert).
I also feel that for Brian specifically it was the best show out of the 4 that are feautured on Live Magic. What do you guys think?

Well it's my favourite 1986 show and one of the favourite 80's shows so I can't argue with you :-)

I know it has been said million times before, but I say it again: It's one of the biggest shames on Queen's career that they didn't film this concert.
Of course I understand it would've been a bit too large investment to record it professionally, they already recorded Wembley and Budapest from this tour.
But oh god, at least the screen feed! I know there's always rumours that this screen feed exists, but I have given up the hope.
Knebworth screen feed existing seems to be some kind of holy grail among Queen fans, a quest that never ends..
I also hope that they would unveil the whole DoRO material filmed there, who knows exactly how much they filmed.. But I guess that's a messy situation too.

But sometimes I fantasize about living in a alternate universe, where they hired David Mallet to film their Knebworth concert. You can use AC/DC's Donington release as a reference. It would have been glorious :)

The problem is QP joint forces with Doro all those years ago and till this day their are some major issues that prevent the release of such material.

1) the rights to the shot footage. Owner rights, publishing rights etc. A lot of money is involved here.

2) the relation between Rosacher and Dolezal. From what I've been readindg they are not working together anymore.

3) the handling of the footage; a lot of Queen stuff is missing, whiped or lost.

there is an awesome set made from Knebworth.
first there was the vinyl title, than came 'Electric Magic, followed by 'Thank you all'', but now there is THE final edition,
'KNEBWORTH 1986 ', the most complete set ever available.
- a great 2 cd / 1 dvd set with the most fascinating concert from QUEEN ever', in highly upgraded sound and vision. The Soundquality beats all of the earlier releases, even the DVD sountrack is mindblowing'
Limited edited up to 160 pressed copy's, with 2 bonus discs from the support acts that day , housed in a great designed box with pictured from the 'MAGIC' DAY.
Can be found right now on ebay, but BEWARE..there are cheap reproductions passing along.
'Just look at the cover, if there's a numbered sticker on it , packed with the 'support gigs'..than you will see the real collectable one!!

So ... I got bootlegged again? Or did Wardour just re-release their previous stuff with a new cover?

Unless you were on stage playing guitar that night, I'd say Queen got bootlegged.
