Well thought i might venture out and begin a 'serious" discussion thread about a topic that has been at the forefront on many a mind these past few weeks...Queen Productions.
As a entity, it has been getting a lot of slings and arrows lately for not being there for the publics needs and wants.
So here is my question to you all:
What would YOU as a serious Queen Fan like to see come foreward from Queen Productions?
Now let's try to see some good answers...and not just the obvious like "The Box Set" or "Freddie's unreleased tracks" and such.
I'm talking about stuff you would love to own, see, or have a say in. I mean ideas you have for items you know the Fans as a whole have been clamouring YEARS for.
I'm interested to see what everyone thinks..
For example, would you like to see "Live at The Bowl" released as a special collectors vinyl album?
How about a certain live concert or performance?
i personally think it's high time we saw the dvd release of all of the various solo videos made by the Band...that would be terrific! It could easily be done..or at least it seems it could be.
What are you feelings about the current situation regarding releases...or lack of them?
Again, i'm attempting to start a hot topic that will get people talking and possibly excited by sharing their thoughts on all things Queen.
Another thing i would love to see out someday is Brian's long rumoured biography. I hope he gets around to it....i know it would be a fasinating read!
How about you? What would you like to see from QP?
Feel free to make up a list..i'll put mine up in a few days.
Let's hear what everyone has to say!

I would love to see the box sets - or at least some definitive word on when they're coming out! But a biography by Brian would be great, and so would more live DVDs. And I can't wait for GVH 3 to be released, too.
Interesting you should mention that Gunpower...
I have wondered why the GVH3 is so anxiously being awaited.
Tell me, why are so many Fans looking forward to it? Is it because the "No One But You" video will be on it or is it something else that i'm not thinking of at the moment?
Yes, some news on the Box Set would be lovely...and i'm sure that is at the top of the "Want List" to QP.
What else does everyone want to see??

About the GVH DVDs, I love hearing Brian and Roger's comments on the videos. They just add an interesting dimension, and I love hearing Roger complaining! Then again, GVH 1 was better because their comments were recorded together and not completely separately like on GVH 2. And I'm looking forward to seeing how they handle GVH 3, like what videos are ultimately chosen and what kind of bonus material it has.
NOt very original for my own, but i want the box sets, GVH3, Freddie's unrealesed tracks(re-worked) and , of course, a new album with brand new songs!
- The Box sets!!
- Live at the Rainbow 74 on DVD. This concert deserves complete restoration and release. It's a pity that the chances of this release are probably next to none.
- Hammersmith 79 on DVD - now this one maybe has better chances. Have they got good audio and footage of the entire concert? This era deserves a dvd release.
- A multi-dvd live anthology set. I figure there are lots of concerts they have good footage of that will never see the light of day as a stand alone release (think of the mic problems at Earls court 77 for example). So why not do a job on them like Led Zeppelin did.
- A definitive 'authorised' dvd documentary - NOT made by the Torpedo jokers, who make crap films. Just look at the recent Killer Queen doco. Now imagine a doco that used ALL of Queen's resources and private footage. It could be awesome and it's long overdue. Instead we have others beating them to the punch with crap like Becoming Queen etc.
- ALL the albums on dvd-a.
- Brian's biography would be interesting reading indeed, as would Roger's.
- GH3 with decent extras and commentary.
- Did I say the box sets?!

News of the World era (or earlier) concert DVD
The Box Sets
The Box Sets
A cd of number ones like the beatles, but it would have to be worldwide. Also a new double dvd of new Queen+Paul Rodgers gig on one disc and a new Queen story doco with new intervieiws from Brian, Rog and John. No more Doro docos though, too much old stuff, Champions of the world was all over the place didnt tell the story of Queen at all.
All of what they have + John Deacon
ALL unreleased dvd live concerts
...and PLEASE,region free formats coz it's difficult to find ones that I can watch here.

A DVD from forthcoming tour... :)
The rest had been said before me, but NOTW Tour DVD and Kampuchea gig are top of my list.

i agree,a dvd from the forthcoming tour plus the box fuckin set plus a dvd from the notw era and a new may+taylor+rodgers album(hopefully not a live one)
Hammershit 75+79
Houston 77(?)
Rainbow 74- much better quality
Earl's Court 77
Not expecting much from the Works Tour, though.

a News Of The World 1977 America show (if possible)
Hyde Park 1976
Hammersmith 1975 - the beeb filmed this for "The Old Grey Whistle Test", so why hasn't QP brought this out yet?
