The mix is fine imo, but it is a shame that CLTCL and TYMD will still be cut.

The visuals will be exactly the same as the VHS as they don't have the cut footage. Hopefully though we will get the full gig on cd as with Bowl and Montreal

It's cropped, but the quality itself is undoubtedly better.
And ... we now have confirmation that there will be no new concert footage. That's beyond disappointing.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the comparison. I will repeat my "moan" again - you can clearly see here what I meant with f***ed up colours (just look at Freddie's skin at e.g. 0:26) and washed-out look.
The cropping IS different, but please note, that there while they cropped a lot from the top and the bottom, they also added a lot of information to the sides. It's because the film was shot at 1.85:1 aspect ratio, and to get it to a home video format you have to either crop the sides to get a 1.33:1 AR (4:3), or to crop the top and bottom (while keeping the sides intact) to a 1.77:1 AR. I like it

Utter Rubbish Pitters.
They could quite easily have added some black bars and kept the full picture.
They do it with both movie and 4:3 sourced TV shows all
the time...

Hm... where is the rest of my post ? Anyway ... yes, you're correct, what I was trying to say is
" It's because the film was shot at 1.85:1 aspect ratio, and to get it to a home video format you have to either crop the sides to get a 1.33:1 AR (4:3), or to crop the top and bottom (while keeping the sides intact) to a 1.77:1 AR. I like it in 16:9, and I'm glad they didn't letterbox/sidebox it. This isn't a Hollywood movie, it's just a concert recording and I prefer to have the full TV screen filled with relevant picture"

What do you think, more graphic!

This video looks amazing. I hope that in the cinema will even look better.

Weird. In some of the shots, Freddie's white outfit is tinted yellow in the new version and remains white in the old one. And in others, it's white in the new one and tinted yellow in the old.
Overall, I like the new one better. The colors are more vibrant and strange color tints seem to be there to give it more filmic look instead of the washed-out video-ish look of the old version. Although the new one is cropped, I don't see (in the clips posted anyway) any vital things being cropped out -- nothing like, e.g. bad pan-and-scan movie where in a scene with two people, the second person is cropped out of the picture.

hummm this cropped discussion is a interesting thing.
I think we all have seen making-ofs of dozens of movies. Sometimes we see someone (normally the director) watching what's being filmed on a small screen.Many times i've seen a full frame picture in 4:3 format on that screen that the director is looking, but with on-screen markers with the intended picture format for the theatrical/home-video release.
One example: i have Jurassic Park III DVD in widesreen. One day the film was on tv in 4:3, so i started comparing them. To my surprise, the tv version was the full frame that showed more image on top and bottom, and the sides were the same. So i saw more information (image) on the tv version, than on the official DVD release in widescreen format.
Many Back To The Future fans remember the fiasco in 2002 when the movies appeared on DVD for the first time. The film was shot in 4:3, but for theatrical/home-video release it was widescreen. But when it was time to release the DVD, Universal framed Part II and Part III (pretty) badly.
See this page [url=http://www.angelfire.com/film/bttf2/]http://www.angelfire.com/film/bttf2/[/url] in the question "But shouldn't I be seeing MORE in the widescreen version? Normally, yes. However BTTF is not like most movies in that it was filmed in a soft matte format where the full frame is "matted" (covered,horizontal 'black bars' on the top and bottom) to achieve a 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio. The photography of the shots was composed for a cinematic widescreen ratio (OAR), even though the print might actually contain 4:3 information.
And i think this is what's happening here. Live In Budapest VHS was full frame but now it's widescreen, the way it's meant to be seen. For exemple, comparing We Will Rock You (DTS/THX version) and Rock Montreal, Rock Montreal has a slightly different framing. Just pray they don't f*ck up the framing.
