Let us all be hugely greatful that it at least doesn't have the word 'Rocks' in the title!

Why complain about it all? Why not be grateful for, at least, getting this goddamn release?

Some people are grateful for the release. We just hate the cover. Can you not see the difference?
Some people do not just roll over and accept any old shit presented to them.
If they go ahead with this cover I hope Dane will make his complete cover available so when we buy the DVD we can bin the official rubbish.
Well, it seems the fans prefer wide angles, shots of the stage with the lighting rig, showing how spectacular and grand our favorite BAND is.
Queen Productions firmly believes Freddie was the image of the band and they shove his moustached mugshot down or throats.
Just a question, what did everybody think of the Live in Ukraine artwork? Based on my previous argument, this would sit well with fans?.
In my opinion it's a nice pic (perhaps a bit too wide a shot) but the font looks amateurish.

Grateful? REALLY? Like Queen is doing us a favor and them making money of it is somehow some kind of grand gesture on their part? Please.....
The "Live At Ukraine" was quite a good cover. Shows that someone out there cares enough about Queen to go to a show though you wouldn't realize it sometimes with people complaining about them continuing. Great propangda for that case, eh! Lol! But yeah I love it. I don't know if something more could have been done but it was quite good.
Nice cover design Dane. I like how you've incorporated the white stage strips in the design.
Double post, sorry.
For the purists/completists amongst us:
The cinema poster titles the release as 'Hungarian Rhapsody Queen Live In Budapest' whereas the press pack says it's called 'Hungarian Rhapsody: Queen Live in Budapest '86'.
So, is the '86 part of the title, or is this the usual annoyingly sloppy approach to accuracy seen all too regularly??

Nicely done technically speaking ,
but it is a very stayed and ordinary well trodden idea, design wise.
visually, although you did it well, it is not very enlightening to the general eye, or public, as you cannot identify anyone in the picture, so it may as well just be text.
The Official Poster is much better and the expression they have caught on Freddie's face, compliments the atmosphere and speaks of the style of the event itself, as Freddie looks like he is singing a Hungarian Folk song.
It is very good also to see Freddie so close up, and to see how his cheek is so high on the far side, Just like Jeremy Kapones'.

I don t think also that the crowd is from That Evening !
It seems much more recent picture! Also in the QUEEN gig in 86, the field was not sold out..
Haven't you seen the 1080i Hd trailor yet?
It looks like it was filmed yesterday.
Amazingly the stadium looks like it does on that poster. It looks so real and like today's arena crowds, and the lighting is very vivid and modern looking.
It is so much better than the video you would think they were two different things.
And there is extra footage, so maybe extra crowd footage?
Also I am sure the stadium was more total capacity than the Olympic stadium fiasco, where light displays sat in seats and blinked to make you think you were seeing human movement.

Ikr, but we should be somehow thankful for getting it anyway.
Yeah, agree with all, is bad poster, do not is professionally to Queen deserve
I do like the general design of the poster. But it looks to me like a concept version. Like there are perhaps three or four to choose from.
Only someone should recreate it in higher quality. Using better logo elements, combining the photo elements better.
