Given the sub-standard nature of the CD/DVD release of Wembley 86 (ie backing musicians, 4:3 aspect ratio, Freddie's failing voice, uninspired performance list) especially when compared to other videod live performances, I have this proposal.
That Queen Productions Ltd should do a mass recall of all Wembley 86 live products to be replaced with the Houston 77 concert on DVD.
If any Queen fan should refuse this, then they are chucked out of the fan club and various message boards, and record stores should keep their names on file to ban them from buying any other Queen product.
This is surely a fair solution to the situation.

With respect, Thomas, I have this show on bootleg DVD and despite its quality problems, it still kicks Wembley's arse.
I think any person who thinks the Wembley show was good is not a real fan.

LMAO
I do have the full concert - it's very easy to get if you know the right people within Queen Productions to ask.
I was speaking with Brian on the phone the other day about this idea.

If you have the full concert, would you be willing to sell/trade a copy?
Yes.
Why shouldn't they have full video of Houston? What part is missing, according to you?
The problem with Houston is that it's cut just like Earls Court - just a few cameras, little action. Compared with Wembley or Hammersmith 79 it's pretty boring. That's the main reason why it won't be released, I think.

The Left Testicle of Freddie, what would you like to have for a copy?
I would be willing to trade, but I'd have to speak with Brian about it first, because he's quite keen on this recall idea.
OK, if you claim to be Brian's friend, then you will for sure know how Houston got out? When the master tape was found, where and by whom?

As I said, if you know the right people within Queen Productions Ltd to ask, you can get just about anything.
My most prized possession from them is the demos from Queen II - the original concept for the album was very different from the way it turned out. A fortunate act of history, I think.
"As I said, if you know the right people within Queen Productions Ltd to ask, you can get just about anything."
That's pretty much true but in the same time there's a pretty strict ban to trade anything like that.

First up, would you send me a list of what you're still looking for. Then I can at least check whether I have anything you want. [email protected]
Thanks for that, Thomas.
I am speaking with Brian again over the weekend, and I know he's on the look-out for mastertapes at the moment, so I'll email you with his and my wants probably on Sunday.

Well, if you know the right people to ask, this really isn't a problem. Do you think the Hot Space demos got out by accident?
Brian loves your site, Mr Scully. So do I. But is the Queen radio thing OK?
"Do you think the Hot Space demos got out by accident?"
That was a different issue. I know more about the leaking of Hot Space demos than you do and I'm still angry that they got out because a couple of people got into troubles because of that.
IF you're getting stuff from Queen Productions (and it's theoretically possible because some people are), you very well know it's not possible to trade these things with anybody. If you offer Houston here in such an easy way, it pretty much sounds like a hoax to me.
"Brian loves your site, Mr Scully. So do I. But is the Queen radio thing OK?"
Queen radio is 100% legal (monthly fees are being paid) and Brian won't like my site anymore after this recent Benidorm issue.

Pfft,
seems that the heath wave has serious negative effects at some people
Incredible how polite some people are to reply seriously in this subject, I admire THEM!!

I'm guessing the other testicle.
(Remember folks, just because you read it on the internet does NOT make it true!)
