I noticed that the entry about that particular show in your website cannot be visited right now. Adding some details, maybe? :)[/QUOTE]
Oh ! A tech blip, 'tis all. Fixed now. Thanks for letting me know.

I don't understand some of your comments guys (and gals).
Fans begged them for 70's concerts for the last 15+ years. They're giving us a 70's concert and some of you are complaining even before you get any further info about the content and/or the quality.
And yeah, of course Hammersmith 75 WILL be released, probably this year. Why ?
- they invested money into restoring the footage and they didn't invest it for showing on the BBC once and for showing it once on a birthday party
- they officially announced it - I think three (?) times already
- Rainbow showed them there is a market for 70's shows
- it's the 40th anniversary for the show
- this is possibly the most famous 70's show, it has been shown on TV many times during the last 40 years all over the world
- it's one of the most bootlegged Queen shows ever, so they have to stop the bootlegs somehow
- they pulled (almost) all Hammersmith Odeon 75 videos from youtube
I am definitely buying it. I will probably criticise it like I did with Rainbow and I will always criticize them for needlesly converting PAL stuff to NTSC but I do believe this is the correct way how to tell them there's potential for releasing stuff from my favorite era - 1977-1979.

^ Everything's right. I'm glad this concert will be finally released.
I really hope that Jailhouse Rock Medley will be included in full, not edited in the middle like in 2009 TV broadcast.
QPL, please make everything right with this release and let us simply throw away all bootleg stuff of this concert and not to spend time on merging/editing back of all missed bits.
BTW,
There still a mystery with 1st encore (Big Spender/Bama Lama Bama Loo) from March 1974 Rainbow gig. Why it wasn't included in last year's release.

Hyde Park next year then please!
I really hope they speed things up a bit next year if they can and release two live shows a year. It's gonna kill me waiting for 2019 to come along to get a '79 show (and beyond!)
I also hope they manage to do deals with TV companies to clean up and release foreign TV recordings of the South America shows from the 80's as well.
It would be a dream come true to see every "year" represented with a live concert video release, if not 2 where possible!

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.
[/QUOTE]
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.[/QUOTE]
Talk to Island/Universal. They're the ones doing it. They do it with every release they made in the last years with all of their artists.

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.[/QUOTE]
It was not in widescreen. It was in the original 4:3.

Rainbow release brought my trust a bit back in QP. Still have to see the Hammersmith package details before gettin' to excided. Anyway... There is much bonus material too. In 2010 or so they filmed an interview with Brian ,Roger and Bob Harris. This must be included I guess. The hammersmith project was shelved back then. And indeed, footage of the missing songs and perhaps Japan 1975 would be great.

It was also interlaced 50i.
Any bonus material on sd bluray should really only be from the same year in my opinion.
