1. We don't mix Queen and Queen + Adam Lambert releases.
2. We 'started' with Rainbow '74, so I will leave it up to you to figure out how it looks like we are releasing live material... ;)

Agreed with you, first Queen + AL is NOT Queen and second, please more releases, there´s a lot of unreleased material!! (or released by the fans unofficially) :)

I wonder if the mini gig at the WATC video shoot will ever see the light of day, that would make an interesting bonus to a live DVD.

I took it from QOLF.

Wasn't it mentioned in the Record Collector that all the four London gigs in 84' were professionally recorded ? Or this information was false ?

1. hahahaha good.
2. the speed of the release schedule and the lack of 'new' old live material only speaks to the fact that Archives are empty of any novelty or 'everything has to be perfect' before seeing the light of day. hence, we will never see it. After all, Doctor May thinks in light years, so someone somewhere in the galaxy will see it, but not here on Earth. If I invent a time machine and travel at the speed of light will I live long enough to see the release from 1984, based on the pattern you suggest? The other pattern is 1 good release every 10 years...

Not necessarily - you're working on it always being held for a 40th anniversary; they could pick any sensible celebratory number, so for example people are moaning that if Hyde Park 76 footage is unreleasable then we won't get anything in 2016 as nothing else was captured in '76. They could however quite easily get a Knebworth '86 package together and release it as a 30th anniversary set. (before the barrage, I'm not saying I want Knebworth above a Hyde Park release!!)
2016 is also the 25th anniversary of Innuendo and Freddie's death; something could be done for that (not live material I grant you, but a decent package with interviews, EPKs, studio footage etc..)
Don't ever be led to think too simply about QPL's release strategy (or lack of one!)

I'm not sure about the alleged emptyness of the vaults. Thinking carefully saying the vaults are almost empty is the brightest thing to say.
They are not "forced" to release anything, if something doesn't exists or is damaged or not in their possesion the fans won't ask for it, and when is the right time to release it they will annunce it it like a miracle or a great detective work, exciting the fans.
Also, they keep the interest in the band releasing new and unexpected things.
For example. if in ten years they found the "lost" footage of the march show of Rainbow and they re-release it, we fans will be as happy as we could be.
And don't take it wrong, i don't believe they have everything in the vaults (like the ISO of Knebworth), i understand is a marketing tactic and their latests live releases are simply wonderful (Montreal, Budapest and Rainbow), so keep with the excellent work QP!

Perhaps.
Somewhere down there on the back of my mind I agree with you. However, very little official material came to light since 1995. I want to believe. The speed of delivery either proves that there is nothing there or the band moved on. The remaining members have 20 years to live at most, current fans between 20 - 60, and then what?
Obviously, it is not about the money. the band has enough. Doctor May would rather frequent a NASA conference on interplanetary travel; those who paid attention he was present at the NASA news conference from Pluto sputnik flyby. Roger does whatever Roger does and John totally checked off. Why reminiscent?

All the big bands are stingy with opening up the vaults. I don't want or expect bands to release stuff that is rubbish, but I find it surprising when pretty much nothing comes out when there is surely plenty there that is worthy of release.
I think with a lot of 60's/70s bands in particular when they see how small album sales are compared to the past, they don't see enough financial reward for letting this stuff out and generally aren't bothered about letting people hear it. I also think to some extent "the archives" get mentioned to prospective new record labels, and is then dangled in front of them and the fans until that deal expires. Why do you think the Queen re-issues had such poxy bonus material.... why for instance on the first album we just got an acetate transfer of demos many fans have heard for years instead of any of the outtakes which do indeed exist? All this material is now sat on hardd rives, having long been transferred.
If QPL turned to Universal and told them they wanted to do big expanded 3CD boxsets of each album, they'd wet themselves. I know some elements like to pretend it's the nasty record labels who'd prefer to release pointless compilations - but that simply isn't true. If QPL handed over their archives to Universal tomorrow ans said "release what you want", it wouldn't be long before great stuff came out.
