I hope Freddie's speech between songs will be presented complete form!

I was thinking the same thing. I hope those nasty old edits have been taken care of.

Oh no... My neighbours are gonna hate me during September I guess...

Why so? They hate old rock, or they hate Queen?

Just amazing! I defy anyone who claims that they get the same feeling from listening to AL sing this as when Freddie sang it. It's just not possible. Anyone who claims that AL sounds good singing this song is either taking the piss or just simply delusional.

Umm, the fact that you think you're seeing people say they like Lambert as much as Mercury just might mean that you're the one who's delusional. At most, people are simply defending Brian and Roger's right to exist with a different singer and not be subjected to a lynch mob for defecting from the Mercurial religion held by some.

As for the video itself - I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it, but there are no vocal overdubs present !

I'll refer it to Gregsynth for a second opinion, but I personally trust Bob's word, the man DOES run a certain popular live website and is more of an expert when it comes to Queen's live concerts than your left nut could probably ever hope to be.

By the way, I've noticed a trend in newer live mixes or re-mixes of classic Queen live releases put out in the last decade or so where they're really putting more emphasis on letting John's bass tones shine much more, if not have a more raw feel which IMO is a great thing.

I can not help agree with you. I also trust Bob because he knows what he tells.

I love what John does starting from 1:59 in the video.

Great version, great sound. September can't come fast enough.

If I correctly understand stone cold crazy clip from 20.11.1974.
It's pity that not from 19.11.1974, although it doesn't matter now.

My goodness, some people on here are a bunch of wacky old whiners.

We`re FINALLY getting a nice 70s concert on a Blu-Ray disc! And STILL some people are complaining.

" Oh no, listen to the bass drum, master tapes are damaged" FFS it`s a 40 year old recording, everything gets sóme damage over time.

" It`s from the 20th not the 19th " So freaking what? It`s STILL Rainbow `74 we`re getting in 35mm quality!

" It doesn`t have overdubs" Who gives a crack? I mean, come on... Of Course it`s great to have something without overdubs but, the thing that comes to mind is "Shine A Light" that Rolling Stones concert movie thingy, that was released on DVD WITHOUT OVERDUBS, it was the most sloppy performance Keith Richards ever gave in front of camera`s but you dont hear people complain about that? (Allthough there really are a couple of dents in some places) Because it`s pure and raw.

Listen to Live At Wembley will ya? A lot of songs are overdubbed, vocals/guitars, stuff like that, HOWEVER, John`s Bass Guitar is out of tune during Tear It Up.
BUT, They DID Melodyne Freddie`s vocals on One Vision at the Friday gig.

But still, it`s a fantastic concert by a fantastic group, overdubs or not, 40 years old or not, from this date or that date, who gives a crap.

You people would find something to hate about if Brian May would release the Knebworth Footage from the Big Screen because " There`s too much Close-up`s of Freddie " or something.

We're just discussing.
Agree there are people who are unhappy something, but there are people who are happy.
I'm happy enough with this release.

This is simply amazing! Hope this is the first of a bunch of releases coming in the next few years. I can´t wait till September!!!!!

Actually Brian would never consider releasing the Knebworth footage for that main reason. Too much Freddie. You know how he gets when he's playing a solo and the camera isn't on him... He gets kinda peeved and actually I don't blame him. When a guitarist is playing a solo live, I like to see it. Not the singer dancing on the side of the stage.

Rainbow was recorded on videotape, not 35mm
