That's true, but that's because it was a Rainbow boxset. Adding Japan '75 to a Hammersmith release wouldn't make sense, unless they turned it into a "Queen on Tour 1975 boxset" thing.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but didn't Queen include the Vienna and Japan concerts from '82 as a bonus to Queen on Fire?[/QUOTE]
Yes, they did.

Too bad they had edited out several songs from the Japan concert because Freddie's voice wasn't in great shape. It would have been great to have at least the whole original VHS gig in DVD quality but noooo... Another half-assed attempt.

At this point is just a matter of time, really, let's wait a couple of days more till the official press release. After 40 years waiting a few days is not much, isn't it?

But they all come from the same tour. Speaking of Hammersmith and Japan, we have a different situation here, although both concerts took place in 1975.

It's going to need lots of extras to make use of Blu Ray! the running time for the gig as confirmed on Queenonline is 60 min. So no restored missing bits![/QUOTE]
=============================
What missing bits you do mean?[/QUOTE]
=============================. that ruined my day. Only 60 minutes. Looks like Qp didn't take that much care about their filmed concerts in the early days. Incomplete Montréal, budapest and now hammersmith. Let's hope for some mindblowing extra's then. Not just an interview with Bob Harris please.....

Blame for the lack of three songs in the second encore, only at the film crew of the BBC and partly QPL because they haven't guessed at least hire a company independent of the BBC film crew, for shooting the concert from start to finish.

People had different thoughts back then, and they (Queen) as musicians, were concentrated in music, not visual media.
Filming a show was really expensive for a band in the 70s, and was of little use. Now in the 4K era with BluRays and DVDs is really simple and cotidian, even more, is expected for great bands to film a bunch of shows every tour.
Of course, as fans we desire Queen filmed a lot more, but is much compared with other bands like Led Zeppelin, Yes or Pink Floyd.

The thing is, Montreal and Budapest were filmed entirely but didn't survive the test of time due to different reasons (cut out film ending up on the cutting room floor, being destroyed or lost years later). BUT Hammersmith was NOT filmed entirely - the BBC filming crew packed up their cameras before the second encore and left.

While true, in hindsight it's still a shame that there were seemingly so many great shows that weren't filmed or taped. As for Hammersmith '75, I'm fairly sure it didn't cost Queen a penny, since the camera production and all that was run and owned by the BBC entirely - which is also the reason the crew left before the encore :(

it's rumoured that it would include bonus from: Tokyo '75, soundcheck @ Hammersmith Oden 1975-12-24, an even bits from other shows at the Hammy earlier that year.
It's only a matter of days until QP reveal all the details.

Yes I knew all about this. I actually contacted the now deceased Saul Swimmer about that Montreal recording in the late ninetees. I wondered because the concert for Bangladesh he directed was complete. So why not Queen?
The reason that it should fix on a 90 minute VHS; so they dropped Flash and the Hero and as I recall also because of copyright reasons for the movie Flash Gordon. Don't know the exact content anymore. Still the result stays the same. Incomplete recordings.
