In case people have forgotten (or prefer to forget), it's not great, but still way better than that good old 'Return of the Champions' front and back

featuring a crowd, Paul Rodgers, the back of some guitarist, and the invisible man on drums.

I always loved the cover of ROTC but pretty much hate the back...

The front cover photo itself is quite impressive. The red 'Return of the Champions' text that looks like it was made with 'Word Art' isn't quite as much so.

I think the return of the champions was strategically set to meet the following Tour. The cover photo isn't bad as it focuses on a live element.


That said. I bought the ROTC álbum for $4 at amoeba....it had the barcode scratched out because it was a superfluous item.

I was curious.


It wasn't bad. Might have been a great tour. I now regret miSsing the QPR TOUR.

Ah well.

But yes. Ditto ditto conflicting colours, convoluted picture. A focus distracted. A bizarre choice to have those conflicting elements. If they had FAKED a stage element and done it monochromatic they could have focused on all four without looking like a lazy art students "night before a test" homework


It's not horrible. FREDDIE looks great. John looks great. Mmmm... leave it to the critics to suggest it has something to do with the recent legacy

Here is the monochrome version

Well what would look cool would be color matching the band in blue and leaving Freddie as it was.

It'd be fun to make a phony cover for the release.

Well, if they decide to re-release it, then I hope that we will get both nights (a la Wembley 25th anniv. release).

I think that will be impossible, the footage of both nights was merged for the film. What you see is what exist, no more and no less.

Perhaps a 4 CD set of both nights then?
