2009 and 2011 are the same mix. The video you posted is one of the iTunes downloads of this mix.
2015 is a new mix.

Hi Real Wizard,
Just a small point of interest - on your great web site you say "A 25 minute version of the video was broadcast on British TV in (or around) 1985. This was the best circulating copy of the Hammersmith footage until a Japanese broadcast of the nearly complete show in the early 2000s". The broadcast was actually 25th August 1984, I remember it well because I was going to see the band at Wembley Arena a couple of weeks later.
Please see the link for the TV schedule for that day under "Rock Around the Clock":

There was clearly a demand from the public as Queen won the vote for the concert to be shown yet we had to wait another 31 years for an official release?!

I'm glad they did. The 2009 mix was pretty awful.
Sounds like they got it right this time.

Even my mum said the 2011 rebroadcast sounded awful, and she's not normally very discerning about these things.

I've heard there have been legal issues with the BBC for years surrounding this one.
Thanks for the tidbit about 1984 - much appreciated !

You're Welcome!
Unlike some people on this board I'm actually really looking forward to the official release, only a couple of weeks to go!
