I've never seen actual evidence to support those claims. All 3 Rainbow concerts were shot on video tape.

I'm almost certain that the surviving footage from the March show was shot on film (you can tell by the way it looks). It's possible that they could include these tracks in HD with the main feature in SD, but either way it's going to look FAR better than the bootleg footage we have!

Also, FAIRY FELLER! This looks to be an incredible release, but I'm worried about how many different formats I'm going to end up buying it on...

The nov will be mix of both nights. But indeed fairy fellers and GK|R and SWAFIB is bril !!

Approved :)

I think the Fairy Feller's Master Stroke will be just an instrumental bit like what they did for My Fairy King in the Sun City gig.

I dare a single person to complain about this..

This is, hands down, the best Queen release since Made In Heaven.

Rejoice !

Yeah, great job done all around here. This will be a really nice release. I like all the formats too, so everyone can get what they want.

I can't hide my emotions WOOHOO!!WOOHOO!!WOOHOO!!

It doesn't matter who on cover, the main thing it's not L

Bang, bang!! The Fairy Feller’s Master-Stroke came down upon my head!!
I'm waiting to hear the sound! Crack it open if you pleeeeeeaaaaase!!

I just crapped my pants.

I really really hope they haven't overdubbed it to death. That's my only fear.

This is the best Queen news since 2004 (when they released Milton Keynes). I honestly can't believe this. Full shows, Ferry Feller, a collector's edition etc.

QP, did you see the light?

I should spend more time on QZ again, me thinks :-)

This is truly phenomenal news. Should satisfy any Queen fan. :D

There are two things which make it "only" a great release

1) just one November show? Really? That's what got me quite angry to be honest. Will we get at least the info from which night comes which song since it's obviously a merge of both nights?
2) Splitting the songs featuring solos (Son And Daughter, Keep Yourself Alive) into 3 songs - come on, that's what the bootlegers do, why do you have to do split the tracks so illogically? :-(

Well with these 2 points in mind, I can only say that IT'S THE BEST QUEEN RELEASE IN THE LAST 20 YEARS !!!
If there wasn't these 2 points, I would call it A PERFECT RELEASE, but now I can call it "ONLY" the BEST RELEASE IN 20 YEARS :-)

Honestly, where can I pre-order the deluxe package ? :-)

THANK YOU !!!
FINALLY I am excited about something Queen related !!!
THANKS AGAIN !!!
Time for Jaegermeister :-)
