Upcoming: Queen 4 DVD boxset including Live in Rio

According to Amazon.com and DVDPlanet.com Eagle Rock/Universal will release a 4 DVD boxset including Live in Rio. The other discs are Live at Wembley /Rock Montreal / On Fire. Releasedate: October 22nd, 2013.

No mention of the duration of the discs, so we don't know yet if Rio will be the 60 minute-version (like the VHS) or not.

I hope that this is not typical QPL recycling bullshit where one is forced to rebuy three concerts to get Rio.

live in rio is the 60 minutes version, the uncut version it's only in a miracle

The Rio gig was shit.

2nd wasn't too great.
1st night was awesome!

Do we have to buy the set to get the Rio dvd?

I have a 60 minutes Version of that Rio Gig. It´s average. I wouldn`t expect too much of that DVD.
Maybe some extra footage or songs....buying a complete boxset because of that ?

^ that's an unofficial release. Crappy transfer quality and shit graphics/titles over each song.

@Thistleboy true...but again I wouldn`t put too much hope in a more professional release of that gig.

Mercury's voice was in slightly better shape on the first night, but aside from that they were both monstrously huge shows. They played to half a million people and performed great overall. If the uncut video of the first night were in pristine quality, everyone would change their tune about the Rio shows, guaranteed.

As for these pending DVDs - let's not forget that Eagle Rock was behind the excellent re-release of the Montreal 81 show. Maybe there's something special going on here.

it would nice the full show of rio 85, but first, the 70's releases!!

I have to admit that I was surprised about the acceptable quality of the Montreal 81 show.

the Visuals of the static camera;s made the picture quality horrible! I also recall the drums and guitar of Brian sound very weak. A proper remix of the sound could be a strart. And of course the full show

Hmmm Rio'85,Ok! But then again Montreal and Wembley? I don't get it!
I suppose that two first Dvd's will be for Wembley, others for Rio and Montreal!

I have Nothing against Rio. I like both concert and not think that the concert is horrible. Just not professionally recorded and mixed
