So you people really think they deliberately made it not as good so 5 or 10 or 20 yes from now they can re release it in the best quality they can create with the March one added?

Yep, it worked with Wembley.

That was not done intentionally right? That was just the limitations of VHS.

No, i'm talking about the DVD, they released the second night of Wembley with a great documentary ''A Beautiful Day'' and five songs from the first night. And a few years later the two nights.

And i'm not blaming them, is business after all. I have march and november Rainbow, Montreal and Budapest. I'm happy.

I don't know. I was asking. Deliberately "worsening" releases makes no sense, but they've done it in the past. But using a faded print when much better prints exist makes no sense either.

This is a question to Greg, if he's reading this.

I certainly hope the full March footage surfaces. Imagine - possible live video of Great King Rat and Fairy Feller, as well as the sensational version of White Queen!

On the point of quality, I don't believe the footage in the official release looks worse than in previous ones - on the contrary, it's much much sharper. The colourisation, though, does seem to have been newly added :/

The official audio of the March concert goes for 1:04:27. Allegedly, the video goes for 38 minutes - that's a pretty decent portion.

^ I just can't imagine it. It's too awesome to be true.

It looks like the footage is not remastered, they didn't bother for only two songs. If you ask me, the March footage will see the light of day in the future, in some re-release of Rainbow, is a good business movement, everybody will buy again Rianbow if we could see the March show, and then, probably, the quality of the footage will be crystal clear.

Saying that, put the March show on CD was an ACE movement by Queen Productions, this product will sell equally only with the November show, but the March gig was a great gift for the fans.[/QUOTE]

Exactly! And the March show we'll have the 2nd encore!
