This alternate cover was actually "released" by Queen Poland a few months ago, just before the official artwork was released.
It's a damn sight better than what we actually got - far classier!
So. I'm not sure it's "real" or not....

I must say, this release has really passed my by. I think I would've jumped on it if it came out when the BBC rebroadcast it (2011?) but I think the 4 years of speculation about the contents has damaged it somehow. A shame as although it is obviously a very well known performance and I would happily buy it officially to compliment my bootleg versions (going back as far as having a couple of VHS boots of it!) it seems a bit too late.

No more stuff from the 70's I think ,lets hope for one last double album covering the 80's and I think we should leave the live stuff alone.A real nice Live Killers makeover would be welcome.[/QUOTE]
Since we have 2 very similar releases I have to say that an 80's show release is needed. At least a release from the NOTW or jazz/crazy tour. Hyde Park setlist is very similar to the one on Hammersmith 75. General public prefer no to repeat songs.

The problem is that they CARE about general public instead of caring about fans

Don't know about that. We have gotten *three* different 70's shows in a little over a year, that all have brought plenty for the hardcore fan to be happy about (especially the Rainbow shows obviously). In both releases there are just two or three songs that are known to the general public.
We owe them some credit for that I think. I for one really appreciate that they've taken their time to put these concerts out, and I think that if we ever want to see the rest of the 70's concerts being released, we better not bite the hand that feeds us.

So? Yes just put out a box set with 7 concerts from 1972, all with the same setlist.
People will buy it.
But QP doesn't seem to understand that the same applies for Queen.

Again, not sure I agree about that anymore. QP have in a very short period of time put out three different concerts with quite similar setlist, with the vast majority of the songs being unknown to the general public.
But yes, a 7 concert boxset would be awesome! :)

They have the whole future to release Queen concerts and stuff. They'll go with individual releases.

You're right - the Rainbow stuff was excellent, particularly the March audio.
But nobody can possibly argue the Hammersmith release wasn't lazy. One bonus track, and with so much potential.

The set list differs quite a bit ...
Sweet Lady, Flick Of The Wrist, You're My Best Friend, '39, You Take My Breath Away, The Prophet's Song, & Stone Cold Crazy were not on Hammersmith.
If I had to choose between Hyde Park & Hammersmith, I would choose Hyde Park.
Hopefully Hyde Park is releasable to Brian's perfectionist standards.
Oscar J · Member since
^ Aye, Hyde Park has the potential to be amazing.
Nitroboy · Member since
Unless Brian can trigger Roger's drums, bury John's bass, autotune Freddie, and layer in new guitar parts for himself; I don't think he's willing to release something :P
Oscar J · Member since
I still doubt the drums are triggered in Hammy. They have the same tonality in the soundcheck, it's just that they've been mixed uber tight à la modern metal kid, with almost no ring to them.
