Upcoming: Queen 4 DVD boxset including Live in Rio

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!

The link does mention 4 different titles for 4 discs:

Live at Wembley
Rock Montreal
Live in Rio
On Fire

Repackaging the same old releases every few years is exacly what I've come to expect from Queen products.
It helps them get rid of the existing stock, because there are always collectors who are willing to buy their 4th copy when it has a new cardboard slipcase.

My guess is that Rio is in there by accident, and won't even be inluded in this package. :P

Hmmm... I missed On Fire:-)
So, then we will expect standard 60 minutes from Rio'85.

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.

When I first saw Rio footage it looked INCREDIBLY badly filmed. Do we know if that's still the case?

Eagle has released these kinds of box sets before

It's safe to say these are not aimed at the die hards (what is..?), but rather at people who are looking for a good place to start in the live dvd world of INSERT BAND HERE

Of course; the inclusion of a never before available on dvd gig will lure lots of people into buying it (myself included!!).

I have little knowledge of Tull's live catalouge, but Deep Purple is one of my favourite bands, so I can comment on the box set above:

one of the gigs had never been released before, and one was out of print for quite some time. The production ranged from ok (due to source material) to very good. Considering the price the overall package is noe doubt good value for money, and I happily bought it.

The big question about the Queen box is this: has any work been put into remastering the Rio gig? (as evident by the bonus ep on The Works 2011 remaster), and how much of the gig will be included?

I suppose there'll be also a standalone version of Rio DVD in Europe.

judging by the Deep Purple box; the unreleased gig will not have a stand alone release

Rhys Thomas: "Rio 85 - the first night. That has never been released and I open the Great Pretender with Freddie in drag singing 'I Want To Break Free.' It's so funny. This is only on youtube but we have tracked down the master copy and fixed the sound. The whole show is good - a cracking version of Somebody To Love on there too."

It remains only to wait as always!
