I have a hunch that if there is a official video release from the tour that New York will be it.

Mr.QueenFan
Thanks a lot for sharing this.
The "Stone cold crazy" version they play here is just brutal. I fucking love Roger Taylor for this, he´s giving all he has!

Guitar solo is terrible.
Still hate AL's voice.
Queen is over for me.

You are right about the Guitar Solo it is possibly the worst ever solo from Brian.
This tour will be over in a month or so and then we can go back to Queen, it's a shame it does not bring you any joy but that can't be helped. It has made a lot of people happy though and although you cannot share in that joy I hope you can maybe take some happiness in that.

Thanks. I was skeptical going to the Detroit show on July 12th, needless to say, I was really amazed with the show. They seemed to all just click and look like they were having so much fun on stage. You can really tell the respect Adam Lambert has for Brian and Roger and even Spike. If you get a chance to see this concert, you really should, it's really worth it.

People from Europe have told me that NTSC formatted DVDs play in most DVD players in Europe as well as in other parts of the world. BUT, PAL formatted DVDs DO NOT play in most US DVD players!!! That is by design & dictated by the movie industry in the US. Converting PAL DVDs to NTSC requires a remake of all chaptering in a DVD authoring software. Most of the videos were originally recorded in NTSC compatible format, then were converted to PAL, and if we convert them back to NTSC, they lose yet more video quality because of the extra re-encoding of the video. I can do all of this since I have good software, but most people do not. It should be rather easy to cut a NTSC version from the PowerDirectory project file and would be so appreciated by all of us in the US.

I see your point of view, the idea behind Pal DVD's was that I shorten my workload. I probably wont do anymore shows for a few weeks so I will do a few NTSC DVD's to service the American fans. I will upload all the Pal DVD's in NTSC this week.

And this is the very reason that 3/4 of the world who do not have NTSC as their natural format have to put up with shit quality releases these days as manufacturers don't want to make two masters.
It really pisses me off that all this lovely interlaced PAL video live stuff recorded by Queen (like Rainbow) will have been fucked about with just for the sodding yanks and japanese, leaving the rest of us with a poorer quality picture than it should be, complete with blurry motion, washy colours and jerking.
I will say though, that I'm all for keeping a format as it should be, so as 99% of the youtube stuff will be 30fps, then I have no issues in it remaining so.

Really? I have a huge problem to believe this. If I remember correctly even the DVD specifications don't allow this. Are you sure you're not confusing it with region encoding?
An NTSC DVD with region 0 is playable on ALL DVD players, I haven't ever in my life seen a PAL DVD player which would not be able to play an NTSC DVD.
An NTSC DVD with region 1 can be played only in Region 1 (= USA) DVD players, or in a few not-very-known brand players, like my old "Orava" player - it just wrote an message that the DVD is region 1, after I confirmed it the DVD played normally.
I can't really imagine WHY would American players NOT support PAL DVDs. And what exactly does it mean? Will they throw an error message? Will they refuse to play the DVD? Will the DVD be played but with incorrect framerate?

Peter. The Americans have NEVER supported PAL DVDs on a widescale.
I always thought it was because the American powers that be are so far up their own arses with regards to superiority and it looks like I'm right, which is a shame because the average "Yank on the street" are perfectly normal people! (And I don't use the term "Yank" as derogatory before any of you have a go at me for not beiong "politically correct"!)

I could be wrong about who exactly is controlling what exactly, but I am absolutely correct that most DVD players in the USA will not play PAL DVDs. Of the 6 or so DVD players that I have owned, only 1 would play a PAL DVD and that was only after changing a parameter in the settings menu. Then I would have to change the parameter back to play a NTSC DVD. After awhile, the player stopped playing DVDs of either format. With a little online searching, I found out that this particular player had a limit to the number of times that this parameter could be changed before it would stop working all together. Why would ProSonic care what type of DVDs could be played on its DVD players unless someone was controlling that decision.
I did some checking on Wikipedia (yes, I know it is not always reliable).
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTSC :
"The existence of those multi-standard receivers was probably part of the drive for region coding of DVDs. As the color signals are component on disc for all display formats, almost no changes would be required for PAL DVD players to play NTSC (525/29.97) discs as long as the display was frame-rate compatible."
And from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code#PAL.2FSECAM_vs._NTSC :
"Videotapes were inherently regional since formats had to match those of the encoding system used by television stations in that particular region, such as NTSC and PAL, although from early 1990s PAL machines increasingly offered NTSC playback. DVDs are less restricted in this sense, and region coding allows movie studios to better control the global release dates of DVDs."
The above 2 quotes suggests that Region Codes were invented when NTSC vs PAL formatting became insufficient to control which countires videos could be played in.
Also from the 2nd Wikipedia link above:
"In general, it is easier for consumers in PAL/SECAM countries to view NTSC DVDs than vice versa. Almost all DVD players sold in PAL/SECAM countries are capable of playing both kinds of discs, and most modern PAL TVs can handle the converted signal.† However, most NTSC players cannot play PAL discs, and most NTSC TVs do not accept 576i video signals as used on PAL/SECAM DVDs. Those in NTSC countries, such as the United States, generally require both a region-free, multi-standard player and a multi-standard television to view PAL discs, or a converter box, whereas those in PAL countries generally require only a region-free player to view NTSC discs. There are also differences in pixel aspect ratio (720 × 480 vs. 720 × 576 with the same image aspect ratio) and display frame rate (29.97 vs. 25). Again, NTSC discs can be played on most DVD systems worldwide,[citation needed] while PAL discs play on very few players outside of PAL/SECAM countries."
