We knew that months ago.
Just don't blame the band - they didn't film it.[/QUOTE]
======================
Blame QP.... So much money involved,an incredible 16 camera's, 35 mm film, amazing crowd and than missing master reals and no complete copy. I'll die for an useful answer.
But..Í'm very happy with the complete audio, documentary, BluRay quality and new 5.1 surround mix.[/QUOTE]
It was filmed by the Hungarian government during communist rule. Do you think a rock band from the UK could ask the government for footage that the they own?

By the time they could, the footage was discarded.

"the footage was discarded."

And thrown into a bin.

IS THE BIN STILL THERE????? Why can't they release this possible footage? why why why why why why?????

Excellent, complete Budapest at last !
Too bad the video will remain the cut version, but c'est la vie.
Will the whiners please stop whining now, at least for one day? QP did EVERYTHING they possibly could to release this show in the best and most complete way possible.

Agreed. Deluxe Version for sure. I don't even own a copy of Wembley anymore. Never did care for the performance (Freddie's voice was trashed by that point). While I still hope for an official Mannheim release (Freddie's voice was even better than Budapest) this is a better Magic show at least

Well I didn't read the track listings thoroughly yesterday at least the audio exists in full. Shame about "dust" but I won't lose sleep over the 50's acoustic medley. I take it the audio will be full versions and possibly the video still edited?

im glad that ryhs@co island are releasing QUEEN GEAR.i remember@time when hardly anything got released not even my .art.yes please keep them coming but i hope they do collect all the rare live stuff etc@get them out for us asap aslong as they dont pause anywere im happy with that.we know thiers loads of other concerts too from the 70s@84 so come on you dont need us too tel yah.for years everyones inc me have told queen@co reg RAINBOW/KNEBWORTH livestuff so its nice were getting b,pest but theres got to be more to life than 86/82?godspeed you .aggotts x

soz bout ..fullstops etc //"@?

I saw Hungarian Rhapsody last week AT THE MOVIE THEATER!!!!!!! It was FABULOUS, of course!! Can't wait to buy it and watch it at home!
It was so awesome, to see the interviews with all the guys and all. Really super!!!
Only 2 shows were offered, without any advertising at all. My son who's in radio found out about it....thank God!
Loved it!!

I have been looking everywhere to pre-order this in the UK especially due to the release date being less than a month away yet I can find no listings until a few days ago on amazon.co.uk and they want £45.

This cant be right, anyone else having any luck?

Same here - I couldn't believe that nowhere else bas ut listed yet. I was shocked at the Amazon price, even though I think that's for the 'deluxe' edition which is blu ray, DVD and cd all together?

Just checked and its not the deluxe! I'm sure it will be cheaper when everywhere gets it.

Interestingly, Amazon has it listed as being released on 'Mercury Records' - what's that all about??

According to Eagle Rock who I just spoke too on the phone only the US is getting this on the 6th Nov.
UK gets it on TV from them
They are not doing a UK release, who is bringing this out is the question, Queenonline are no being helpful at all

That would be because it is a US import (Region A)
They won't play on a UK player (Region B)
If your blu-ray player has been region hacked, it will only be for DVD play back (Region 1, 2 etc)
I also contacted Eagle Rock, and they confirmed NO UK RELEASE!!
I guess we need to find out if the US version is actually Region A locked.
It's listed as 1080p, so if it is region free then it would look very nice in the US or the UK if your display supports 24p.

cmsdrums...I have not seen anything that you are talking about but there already is a Mercury Record company. Or at least there was one in the past. It was called "Mercury/Polygram" if I recall. I think people like Jon Bon Jovi were on it (circa "Blaze Of Glory" in 1990). I dought it is anything.

I dont need a leason in region codes, I know all about them

The blu-ray is region free according to a listing on Ebay
