Rainbow is not heavy overdubed! (in comparation to the vhs)

Anyone who got the Blu-Ray, is there any actual HD footage?

I'll check it out now...

Well....I wouldn't like to say, but the close up camera shots of Fred are unbelievable.

SD blu ray but with DTS-HD audio

I'd say Father To Son has some footage that could be considered HD.

Which I have just switched to and it's a major improvement on the sound

Well, how about the March footage?

My god...surround sound Brian May is in my room..they've done an incredible job on this. His solo is all round the room. And roger's drums., I honestly haven't heard anything from Queen sounding this good.

My guess is that it's video tape source as well, like the November material.

Bonus track video is very average, grainy film stock. Sound ok, but not a patch on November.

But in some ways feels like more of the time. The November stuff looks and sounds like it was filmed yesterday!

Don't know, don't own the DVD, I was just judging from the 30 min preview.

White Queen from the March CD is just amazing - best version ever, probably. Great drumming and a slightly different solo from May than the ones we usually hear in that song. And Freddie, while getting the lyrics slightly wrong, powerfully nails the A4's in the end, just like on the studio album. Man, that was really something - have never heard him do that in any bootleg. Also Freddies banter before Great King Rat is hilarious.

Seven Seas Of Rhye from the same concert is also staggering, in all aspects. Again, probably the best version, making the Magic versions sound really tame. Great energy and Freddie doesn't dodge a single note (although his voice gives out slightly in places, such as the "come out alive" B4.)

I think the sound from November is a bit too "modern". It really has a huge amount of compression and is very bass heavy. Sure - it sounds awesome at first, but gets a bit tiring after a while and does not fit the lighter songs, such as Kille Queen.

Don't know what happened to Roger's cowbell in the March show. It has a very weak sound, was probably miked up badly.

Is here some Bluray / DVD owner who could answer my question please? Thanks
