(sorry my english)

I agree with this release, obviously also I prefer Hyde Park 76 or earls court 77, obviously, but it should be noted that queen productions is launching this special edition that marks the 40th anniversary of the recital, you maybe next year we hyde park 76, and in 2017 it earls court or houston

Unless Hammersmith '75 would come with extras that are vastly superior to the main thing, I wouldn't buy this, 40th anniversary or not. I've seen the concert, and I can honestly say that it was the least enjoyable Queen-concert that I have seen.

You want slightly quality-upgraded versions of a few music videos over a new 70's concert release?[/QUOTE]

No, but....

Remember GVH1 (2002) and GVH2 (2003)? I wonder when we are going to get the rest of the videos in 5.1...ups sorry, 4.1 from Innuendo and beyond. It's been 12 years, why can't they release the rest of the videos to close the video collection? 12 years in the making for the rest of the videos? wow, is it going to be a super-hyper-mega-special edition?

Well, I guess something has to come in last place..

But there are some fab moments. Brighton Rock is definitely one of the best.

All of the 70s Queen shows that were filmed have their flaws, except perhaps Hammersmith 79.

Thanks Popy, that was my point.

Its good to have a new release from the 70s but Im afraid the final product will be more a display of protools and studio techniques to fix mistakes than a musical testament of 4 great musicians playing live.
Queen: Roger Taylor, Mike Grose, Freddie Mercury, Brian May.

There's also a possibility they will release the Hammersmith '75 Christmas show, bundled with the "A Night at the Opera" making-of DVD thing they did some years ago.

And yeah, of course Hammersmith 75 WILL be released, probably this year. Why ?
- they invested money into restoring the footage .....
- they officially announced it - I think three (?) times already
[/QUOTE]

I'm with you in agreeing that it will likely come out, but we have proof several times over that your reasons above don't bother QPL - don't forget work has been done on releases before and then they've been pulled!!

You're just being silly... They can't close the video collection before they know all the Queen videos have been made.

We only have to wait until all the original members (including Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert) have died before GVH3 is finally released.

They don't release another DVD of videoclips because is not necessary. In this day and age, it adds nothing, and nobody, except the die die die hard fans will buy it.

A videoclip add nothing to the music and can be watched for free on youtube.

A show captured on video is different, is a live rendition of the songs and you can watch how the musicians perform the music, so is worth it the money to support the artist.

Do you see what I did there? How clever was that! :D

I would love to have I'm Going Slightly Mad and Innuendo on Blu-ray.

Hammersmith '79 was a great show (I don't know what others here think of it). What's the odds of that ever being released? Would there be any reason why it couldn't be?

Even the Queen members didn't like music videos, quoting Freddie:

"When people hear a song, imagine a story, a music video ruin that imagination and force them to see a predeterminate story"

Or more or less, i'm quoting by memory.

And besides, a concert video is about a band playing their songs. A videoclip is a scripted act created by some director, it doesn't enhance the music to me.
