normally removed from concerts by TV / filming companies?
I’ve seen it a few times, the intro is normally removed from concert videos.

When did this happen? The only time I know was at Hammersmith Odeon 75, and that was because of the damaged master tape (at least that was the official story)
Didn't that happen with the Montreal 81 ("We Will Rock You") video? On the commentary to the Rock Montreal video, Brian and/or Roger said the first few seconds were put back in.............

Yep, it did. But I think you mean Rock Montreal 2007 release because "We Will Rock You" features the cut intro of Now I'm Here. I think Brian said "chaps" had to fill in the gap and they did it great.
Well Montreal is a possibility, I never managed to watch the shit till the end. BTW didn't one of the Japan 82 releases miss a bit of the song too? Boy, I should really watch the 80's recordings again
Japan 82 (the Version on the "on fire DVD" has it patched together with footage from other parts of the show ALA Montreal)
Montreal 81
Hammy 75
The VH1 version of "at the MK bowl".
I'm 99% there is at least one more too, but i can't remember it.

That's exactly what I meant.......on We Will Rock You it was missing, and then on Rock Montreal it was back...........yeah, I havent watched that in years, now I remember Brians comment about the 'chaps'! Lol........
Also, something kinda similar.........I seem to recall that the "Live At Wembley Stadium" released featured the last few seconds of Tutti Frutti that was missing on "Live At Wembley '86"!
Dear Pittreik could you please just tell me what is Shit about Montreal ? Are you talking about the whole show ? Now i'm here ? The mix or transfer ? Or do you just say these things out of boredom ? Please tell us mere mortels what is wrong, i do notice that you have nearly made 9,000 comments so you must be a real big fan or maybe not.Please enlighten us.Can't wait to see what you find wrong with Queen at the Rainbow.
I was never a fan of Brian's concert solos. There are a few bootleg exceptions, where he delivers a really good work, but in 90% cases it is a skip button. I probably missed Elvis dancing on stage and alien life making first contact, which must have happened during those 10 minutes, but oh well... skip to the next song.
Brian's concert solos are all boring. He's pretty average at solos. Not exactly a Jimi Hendrix.
Munich 1979 as well

I guess he means the colours in the 2007 dvd... too yellow to me.

Bad editing, and colours so horrible I'm not able to watch it. The Budapest release has a similar colour problem, my eyes simply can't take it.
Yes, I'm a fan of Queen. That doesn't mean I have to like EVERYTHING they release, does it?
The only thing I don't like about Rainbow is that they're mixing 2 concerts together and converting them to NTSC instead of releasing them separately and in PAL. Why ?

I don't know, I always liked Brian's solos. I actually prefer Brian's solos to Jimi's to be honest

Yes, Brian's solos are quite repetitive. But Hendrix, despite moments of sheer brilliance, was a pretty inconsistent soloist. Now Ritchie Blackmore....
