They claim that it has been restored. The video tapes weren't in horrible condition, and it certainly wasn't FILMED, so I wonder what the heck their wordplay is all about.[/QUOTE]
Restored means no more than adapting the quality from the original 1975 VIDEO (bcn1that means) to the standards of 2015.
IN technical term yes that is a huge difference. In other words : when the release a unrestored 1975 you will be complaining. When they restore you won;t complain.
Excact the same happened with Rainbow. When you have bought a copy of the unrestored version you would have returned it to the recordstore.

From what I've seen, neither the Rainbow 74 video or the Hammersmith 75 videos were in bad quality. Also, why are they obsessed with converting EVERYTHING to NTSC.

Better than nowt!
I've actually grown rather fond of this show over the last few year's. Freddie's voice actually isn't too bad, he's quite daring at times and his range and power are good. Just a pity he wanders off key occasionally (nothing a bit autotune won't fix!). He's way better vocally than the Nov Rainbow show.
A pity about the short set but nothing can be done about that.
I'm pretty confident this won't be released on it's own, something else will certainly be included.

Funny you should say that.

I noticed that the entry about that particular show in your website cannot be visited right now. Adding some details, maybe? :)

More video than the three songs we already have, perhaps? I can't think of much else that it could be, since we already have the full audio in really nice quality.

Hammersmith 1979 as the extras! Think this release is a good idea, id rather live concerts than re-released Albums.

Were any of the 2012 Queen+ Lambert Hammersmith shows filmed?
Not that I am particularly interested in Queen+ Lambert, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is released as a double disc set along with one of the Queen+ Lambert shows.

Shows unfortunately were filmed but I'll be happy if this won't be released.

When they say 'newly restored' I wonder if that just refers to the restoration they did several years ago and was broadcast on the BBC, or whether perhaps they like the plug ins they used on the drums for The Rainbow release and so have revamped it once more?
[/QUOTE]
Jeez. I hope it's NOT the butchered, widescreened de-interlaced effort that was shown on the BBC.
After the Rainbow set, it NEEDS to be 4:3 and interlaced AND in amazing quality on an SD Bluray.

Because they're signed to Universal who are an American company and their TV format is NTSC.
When DVD came out, the Americans didn't have machines that could play back PAL (which I personally have always thought stank of the Yanks being up their own arses about the world revolving around them). For the most part that's probably still true as far as I know (about the DVD format I mean), so PAL for the most Americans may still be no good in the USA.
As such it's MUCH cheaper to produce a "worldwide master" in NTSC that everyone can playback, even if 3/4 of the world have to suffer the indignity of a lesser quality picture.
HOWEVER. That's where SD Bluray comes in.
The Rainbow set may have been 60i, BUT it looks superb and doesnt jerk on my TV set like a normal SD NTSC disc does, so for me they're onto a winner.
So long as they keep up that standard, I'm a very happy bunny.
