I too would like to know about the plans for a promo videos remastered for bluray. The current transfers on DVD and YouTube are HORRIBLE. I can count the pixels easily on some of them.

Thanks for taking the time to answer some queries Greg, are you allowed to say why Big Spender/Bama Lama Bama Loo from the March Rainbow show weren't included on the release? Are there rights issues with the latter, as I notice it is one of the Golders Green tracks which also won't be on "On Air"?
If you're able to suggest it at any point, a Crazy Tour box with a Hammersmith DVD & Newcastle on CD would pretty much be my dream release…

Nice find! It's possibly the reason indeed... unfortunately.

That's pretty much hit one of the many nails us fans have about QPL right on the head:
Not the direct question asked above, but the fact that we fans have these questions, we ask these questions but never get a reply.
Whilst they may feel it's none of our business, QPL would be be more respected if they WERE open with the fans and explained why some releases/planned releases are incomplete or won't happen.
It's akin to being told to do something a particular way with no explanation as to WHY it's done that way.

Mr Brooks will hand pick his replies, rightly so, but rather than say he doesn't know the answer, will choose to ignore it.. as is the case with the 'super rare' item that's been mentioned.
soxtalon
He answered it. It was embedded in another answer. He apologized and said he knows it was tedious but he wasn't allowed to talk about it but that but was deemed not suitable for this release
The Real Wizard
The royalties thing is pretty obvious. It's why cover tunes have been excised from live Zeppelin releases for ages.
It may not even be the money - it could simply be a matter of not getting a reply from the other publisher.

I would not hold my breath for GB to return to this thread and answer questions. After all, he did open it to promote the 3D book and his live book which was not an issue on the Dutch Queendag. It's just a part of the game.
Look at what GB says about the "On Air" release: it has the six BBC sessions plus "some other surprises". Since there has been the press release in the mean time, we already know about the "surprises" and can wonder if GB really thinks there is a surprise fans should be happy about or if he is having a private joke about the nature of this surprise. Either way I can only recommend to stop hoping for the band to change their ways. It's obvious that the remaining two members have no interest in the roots and artistic history of their own music and no interest in their most loyal fans, so we should reconsider this loyalty and maybe follow the example and give up our expectations. If the only incitement for the band is money and how they can market more of the same. we should care more about our money and not waste it on this second class crap.

I would like to ask GB - in the nicest possible way - whether the case has been put to the band for the less polished stuff. Or whether they've not had a chance to express an opinion.

I should have asked this in my first post but Greg if you come back and see this could you answer whether or not any of the Buenos Aires 81 shows were multitracked? Were the first and third nights filmed? Does QPL have a copy of the second night without the QUEEN and 9 watermarks? I just wanna know whether or not this stuff exists is all so I can stop fantasizing about it.

I appreciate everything you do and try to do. I believe you do your stuff the best you can. I'm looking forward to buy Queen 3D book and Queen Live books. I'm excited about that. I hope there won't beany mistakes or misinformation. You have contact both with the band, studio-based team and with the fans. Could you tell them that we want more live FULL concerts without unnecessary auto-tune and meaningless overdubs? Like Hyde Park, Earls Court, Hammy 79, something from South America 1981, Rio 85 (first full night) ? I know you won't release them all at the same time but we would love to listen and watch them before we die.
Yours sincerely[/QUOTE]
^this. I would like to know, would an audio-only release of a concert be out of the question? I think a CD/Vinyl/Digital release of either Hyde Park '76 or some other concert would be very successful[/QUOTE]
GB: Duly noted. I'll pass it on.
[/QUOTE]
Thank you. Any thoughts of the "studio-based team" about it?
