I never noticed the colour thing on Montreal and Hungarian Rhapsody... now its all I can think about!!! I do quite like the over saturation, gaudy and over the top :)
Did I read somewhere that the blu ray is less of an issue than the DVD?

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.[/QUOTE]
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 ?[/QUOTE]
On the other hand, we are getting two FULL early seventies concerts on CD, including a track we thought was never performed live.
Bad editing can't be fixed, but I find a little software can work miracles on the colours. You can't fix everything, but improvement is a definite option.

Indeed. And I'm VERY excited about that part and very happy about this release - the March concert is definitely one of my favourite Queen concerts of all time!

There is a wonderful (but old) comparison on a Czech forum, done by a guy who used to post also here (I'm not sure if he still does)
I don't know why thery're doing this, but it has nothing to do with Queen Productions, the "remastering" was done by Eagle Rock. They are very well known to intentionally damage their releases and call it "remastering" and colour "correction". I don't know if they think it will look more "modern" or what, or if they're simply colourblind, but some people including me are very sensitive to unnatural colours. That's why I'm unable to watch any post 1997 release of the Star Wars movies (not only because of the changes, but mainly because of the f*** up colours), or the "green" Matrix transfers etc.

They have tinted and filtered all their releases, it's not just queen that look like they have yellow jaundice.
