Poll: Favourite DVD

Explain why this dvd is your favourite

Montreal '81 - the tinting sucks but the concert is awesome, the sound quality is awesome, their performances are awesome and the setlist is the most interesting for me out of these shows.

I chose Montreal because to my ears it has the best audio and Freddie's voice was in top shape. The beginning of "STL". Wow. The picture is good, perhaps not perfect but it's a 30 year old gig.

"Bowl" is a very close second

The Montreal colours are so bad, that I can't even watch it! My eyes literally hurt after watching that crap. EXTREMELY bad colours. And a VERY bad editing job too. But the CDs are damn good.
Wembley is great, great camera work, great editing, great performance(s) by the band, but I don't like the official audio mix, especially the drums sound pretty bad.
Budapest is also a great gig, great camera work but it's terribly, terribly edited, thank God the stupid habit of intercutting concert footage with documentary footage died in the 90's.
Live at the Bowl - amazing band performance, great camera work, but the officially released DVD has again worse drum sound than the bootleg (as with all official releases).

I can't decide, but my favourite is either Milton Keynes or Wembley, followed by Budapest, followed by all pro-shot bootlegs, followed by Montreal

Montreal for me - the main thing for me is that the sound quality of the mix is awesome, plus Freddie's voice is in fine form, and a good set list.

I'd pick Montreal - but it'd have to be the old We Will Rock You DVD for the visuals and Queen Rock Montreal for the audio.

So I choose Wembley, as both nights are there now.

100% true about Montreal. The old visuals were great, and the new audio was even better. But those colours? What the hell were they thinking?

However, Montreal is still my favourite, for personal reasons :)

And the Budapest master tapes died too in the 90's

Agreed, Wembley audio isn't great - drums are not fab, but to me the worst aspect is the really 'thin' guitar on that mix
