ROTTERDAM (June 13, 2012) – Miracle, The Dutch Queen cover band, sealed their first record deal with MBR producties BV. Martin Huizinga, Manager of Miracle, and Melchior Rietveldt of MBR Producties BV signed the contract for the production and release of Miracle’s third live album.
The new live album is recorded during the “Katwijkse feestweek” at Huis van Oranje, Katwijk, on April 29th of this year and will be released somewhere in the fall of 2012. Mixing of the recording already started and is in the capable hands of Gerben Klazinga, producer and keyboard player of prog-rock band Knight Area.
The last live CD, entitled Getalive, was released in 2002.
The upcoming CD will be the first one in years featuring the all new line-up: Jordan Trey – Vocals, Jaco Dekker – Guitar, Mark Smit – Keyboards/Vocals, Bart Pellinkhof – Bass guitar and Victor Louisa – Drums/Vocals. The CD will contain about 12 songs of Queen, played by Miracle.
Stay tuned and be sure to follow Miracle on Facebook and Twitter.

Playing "Devil's Advocate" again; as long as the band is paid (Queen Productions) from whatever technical residuals there are to offer, this only really caters to the longevity of the band. Sorry, but its true.
Queen (Brian May + Roger Taylor) will never play minor gigs at pubs, alleys, community fairs, swap meets, dive bars, race tracks etc.
NEITHER will the "QUEEN EXTRAVAGANZA"... However few units the band sells of bastardized versions at GIGS (performing another band's music)
This will ultimately pay off in the long run for whatever audience the cover/tribute band takes.
Personally, I'd find it EMBARRASSING if Queen Prodductions issued a "cast" recording of the "Extravaganza" but I've seen it happen meaningfully with a local band "the Iron Maidens" (all female cover band)
With a bend like that, its worthwhile...
But personally....I don't like cover bands.
HOWEVER...considering the band itself doesn't hit small markets...some Goober "on the town" could stumble in and find out "Hey! Wow!...QUEEN PLAYED ...THOSE. Rock songs???!!... Wow"
And proceed to carry on the band legacy.
I still find it pretty absurd bands dressing up etc as Queen, Aerosmith etc...whomever.
Just throwing in my two cents... I don't know the LEGAL aspects of performing and selling covers of someone elses music.
If someone here does, (Mr Frank Zappa - Simpsons character, I'm thinking of you)
Would you Please explain????

Well in that case he wont be bothered,
obviously he managed to fool me, because my comment was based upon his reasonings for wanting to combat such things by the QE

Yes i know, but this is different when you consider the Queen movie is it not?
I salivate with the thought of how good that could all be, the recreations of the concerts, the energy the spectacle, the recreation of emotional hieghts of the music done live. All that is possible in this film. I just hope they actually relise that is so possible if only they do it right- first they must get rid of Sacha as you know.

That's a vast overestimation of your value.

Yes, especially considering there's relatively little copper found in pennies these days; nevermind stateside inflation.
I stand corrected, oh grumbly one.
