I saw it in the Scala Liverpool in 1981 with Escape from New York as the main feature.

Hi GT. Sorry, I wasn't alive then. But go ahead and release the concert and box sets. :)

Sincerely,

Patience, my dear friend. The best is yet to come. We just mustn't rush things.

You are such a rude, condescending individual.

Here's some info from queenlive.ca which you might find helpful:

A half-hour film, a compilation of both nights, simply entitled "Live At The Rainbow," first saw the light of day in 1975 as the opener for Jaws in some UK theatres. It was also seen as an opener in 1976 for Led Zeppelin's film "The Song Remains The Same" in some US theatres, as well as Pink Floyd's "Live At Pompeii" in 1979 and "The Wall" in 1982.

In (at) *the* cinema? I pretty much doubt it. Budapest would rather be shown again than Rainbow.

To be honest, I've never imagined a 70's Queen concert being shown in cinemas these days. There's always something 80's-ish now, but not that 70's kind of stuff (regarding Queen themselves). Naturally, I'd like to be proven wrong!

Anyway, if they're planning on showing it in cinemas I shall most likely never see it, because it's very unlikely to be shown here in Ukraine. I'd been hoping for Budapest in my local cinemas for a long while, but eventually I had to accept the fact that the showing wouldn't even come near any of my country's cinemas. However, it was shown in Russia.

And the complete concert is unlikely to be released either. It's going to be another compilation - if my memory serves me right.

That being said, I couldn't care less about the cinema part of the release because of the reasons mentioned above. But the DVD itself (with a possible accomponying CD) - yes sir, I would like it!

thank you, now I would like to hear something from the people that saw the movie in that period! :)

The original cinema cut at 32 minutes includes the same song version edits and camera angles as the tracks that appear on the VHS release, which runs for 53 minutes.
The first time the Rainbow film was released to cinema was in 1976. There has been no evidence of the film supporting 'Jaws' in 1975, but we'll keep on investigating.

I didn't even know there was such thing as one film 'supporting' another like a support act in a musical setting. Clearly something that's older than I am

Thanks for the info, GT.
Maybe the Rainbow film supported 'Jaws II'?
