I think it's a great show and a nice DVD. Excellent quality, superb sound (two different special edition discs are available, Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS is available too, for folks who can't increase volume on their own).
A fairly decent audio commentary by the director, though at times he seems a bit uneducated about Queen. And a neat little video tour feature of important Queen landmarks. Not a bad disc at all.
The only real problem with the show is the audience. They don't seem to be very thrilled to be there and don't even sing along with Love of My Life.

Don't buy it at that price though! Very expensive. You should be able to get it for half that price.
That's correct, you must buy it, but for a lower price. I bougth it here in the Netherlands for € 15.00.
Definitely get it, just not at that price. It's a great concert, even if the audience didn't care that much.
There are several variations of the WWRY DVD floating around... there was a good site explaining the differences... but I can't for the life of me remember the address.
Some smart-alec will probably tell us soon.

Actually, they (Montreal) were seeing Queen's performance of this song for the first time and didn't know the routine.
During the commentary you'll hear the director mentioning this. Especially the point where he notes how Freddie says "you don't know it..."
Peace,
Adam.
EDIT: BTW, the DD track is mixed differently. Vocals and drums are higher for some weird reason, so they stick out more than they should. I have the dvd with both DD and DTS. DTS is way better.

I've got the original DTS version for € 15,00

Brian said the sound was crap.
He sounds a little bitter.

Montreal sure declined as an audience from 1978 to 1981.
Montreal '82 the audience was very loud...I simply think the audience wasn't mic'ed so well.

It's too bad he doesn't devote as much attention to listening to official Queen releases. Maybe he would have heard the horrifying glitches on discs like Jazz (1994 remaster), Rocks and The Eye and alerted people to not buy those either.
That's interesting about the different mixes. Mine is Dolby Digital and you can't really hear John's bass. Apart from that I really like the mix - very up front and not washed in reverb. And the remastered THX version(s)have a much better image quality. Recomended!
I love it. Set list is really decent- I prefer it to Wembley... There, I said that "Jehowa, Jehowa"
