And anyway, beyond it being a studio tape that has only just turned up - how could it be any surprise to him? As the archivist, he surely catalogued and oversaw the digital transfer of the band's archive years ago? Greg Brooks is either a compulsive liar or a terrible archivist! Maybe both. lol

Now that we know a concert is being planned, what are everyone's realistic hopes for? My dreams would be Earl's Court box set. But as we all know there are issues with Freddie's mic. Could this be fixed and if so how?[/QUOTE]
There are two nights of Earls Court to work with. They have the multitrack and probably two different live mixes for each night. The piano vocal mic *may* not be present on the induvidual channels on the multitrack (if that's even really true), but they have them on the live mixes - and they are easily mixed within and into the multitrack elements, it would just require more work and they couldn't manipulate those vocals as much as they'd probably like to. The idea that they don't have releasable mixes of both nights already is laughable in itself though - of course they do.

I'm not a big fan of Hammersmith 75. However if it's coupled with Hammersmith 79 I'm in! The 75 show is far too similar to Rainbow in the track listing department. Besides, it's already easily downloadabe from youtube.

Hammersmith '75 is ANATO bonus material quality - not a standalone release surely. Apart from it being rather short, it also isn't that good a show with Roger and Freddie under the weather.

All the signs points to Hammy 75.
The product was already done. Is the 40 annyversary.
Tha fact that is eclipsed by Rainbow doesn't mean it isn't a great release.
Add a bonus audio concert from that year and i'll be happy. And this is the point where the experts in Queen enters. What concerts can have Queen in the archives from the ANATO tour, Hammy aside?

In Greg's defence, he says in the podcast he's know about it for years.
Sadly, the podcast lacks a lot of information. How much work went into that song? Was it a combination of takes? How many? How long was it work for? How much is new on it (aside from the obvious Brian vocals)?
The info on Love Kills and TMBMTLTT was also frustratingly in short supply, even if it did clear up about State of Shock.

Golders Green with a full 73/74 BBC plus an early live version of Hangman would be essential. But Hammersmith 75 is the most realistic choice for release, especially since there's video.

Every single review I read (be it from a professional journo, or a fan) was positive and flattering. And now there are more projects of this type on the radar and they too will require extensive archival research on various levels. That's a good thing too, isn't it!? Or should we not bother!
[/QUOTE]
Sure, Rainbow is a great release, but could you explain the reasons for the exclusion of Big Spender from the march show?
thanks in advance!

Hyde Park `76 would be my favourite one

QPL have set a benchmark now with SD Bluray.
From now on I expect an SD BD release of EVERYTHING sourced from standard def videotape.
They've proved how amazing it can look, so anything less now will be a backwards slide.

So.....listening to the start of the podcast, the location of the Queen Archive is revealed, and we now know that it is held at Brian's house.
Also just want to add that a couple of minutes in Greg states that Let Me in Your Heart Again was a complete suprise when he heard it as he didn't know it existed and it 'wasn't written or listed on any tape boxes'.
What!??!?
I give you exhibit 'A'....

[/QUOTE]
And just in addition, a couple of video interviews have just been posted on Brian's soapbox, where he talk about the track and says 'yeah, we knew about the track and it was in clear view, clearly marked on the tape box with various takes...'
Please can I have the archivist job - at at least do his interviews and his fact checking for him?!!

Was Golders Green definitely not filmed? BBC seemed to use it for a lot of filmed concerts e.g. AC/DC.
From Wiki:
BBC[edit]
In 1969, the BBC were looking for additional television studio capacity to cope with the introduction of colour transmissions[8] They took out a long leasehold on the Hippodrome to 2060[9] In 1969, the Hippodrome was converted into a radio studio and concert hall with reduced capacity of 700 seats, as the BBC had been looking for a north London venue, and became home for the BBC Concert Orchestra, and also saw broadcasts and concerts from the BBC Big Band and BBC Radio Orchestra.
As a concert venue, it was used in various configurations for:
Light music concerts - including Maria Friedman[10]
Rock bands - the first were Queen in 1973, Jethro Tull in 1977 and many that followed were for the John Peel show including AC/DC, ELO, Barclay James Harvest, The Kinks, UFO, Procol Harum, Roxy Music and Stiff Little Fingers[11][12][13][14]
Theatre - including an early performance by Sir Ian McKellen in a performance of James Saunders play A Scent of Flowers, which became his first West End performance and his first Award[15][16]
Boxing - as both a regional and national venue[17]
Comedy - including performances before he won New Faces by Jim Davidson as well as two episodes of the first series of Monty Python's Flying Circus in October 1969, The Val Doonican Show, and The Roy Castle Show.
The BBC recorded various radio specials at the Hippodrome, including the famous BBC Sight and Sound concert of January 1978.[18] AC/DC's 27 October 1977 appearance at the Hippodrome for Sight and Sound in Concert was later released on DVD as Live '77.
