There are no problems with the mic of Freddie during the Houston concert. That's rubbish. Earls Court on the contrary has them.

the_hero,
If you notice (and if you had bothered to read my post properly), I didn't EVER refer to the fact that *EVERYONE* should only post in English.
Like you, I am sick and tired of reading the crap that some people come out with in a language that they do not understand well enough to have a strong opinion in. I deliberately choose not to post to foreign language websites because I would either be misunderstood or *get myself into trouble* on a point of fact that I was trying to back up.
Mr. X is making some incredibly unintelligible points in unintelligible language - therefore, he is opening himself up to derision and ridicule. Same as I would be if I were to post in pidgeon Dutch, German or Flemmish for example.
Do not pretend to think that I am xenophobic in any way (as you have so clearly demonstrated that you are in your response to me) - I merely offered advice that Mr. X can either choose to accept or ignore as he feels appropriate. **So far**, he has chosen to accept it as being "helpful" by not re-posting to his own thread......
Go figure.

Fair enough Thijs.
Thank you, sorry for the swearing, it just annoys me. You know me :P
Yes I am very lucky to know you and I happen to like the swearing!!! You KNOW me!!! hahahahahhaa!!!!!
The whole thing is taking a big bad turn here. I have listened to the whole houston 77 gig. I gave it, in perfect quality, so anyone with anything rare can mail me. But too the thing, the show isn't that great allover if you compare too other shows from the same tour. You guys must have listened to very few gigs. But after heard about 100 shows, I can say that there are a lot of better shows then Houston, even if LIAR are very good. And you guys who think that earls court is so good, forget it. Many shows are far better, even on that tour. But as many people just have listened to the common shows I understand their oppinion.
How does the video quality compare to the Zep Houston 77 vid?
Well here's an answer because queen is queen and
zeppelin is zeppelin see the difference now and what
is the discussion about. But still fair question.

I saw that same show in Ft.Worth Dec.10th the night before. My first concert ever, and to me, it's always fun to see it at the Breakthru. Brings back chills of excitement each time.
If you look at the version with only twelve songs
why is sheer heart attack missing it appears on the
rare live dvd so why not on the audio even if the
show is not complete.

Fort Worth was also filmed as a warm up for Houston.

Well, you're right. But I think the NOTW-tour was Queen's best tour in the seventies. They were in great shape. And Houston is the highlight of the American tour, not only of its rarity, but also the show itself was really great. Very good performances of the new songs at that time, I mean listen to My Melancholy Blues. And yes, there are also other good shows of that tour, both New York nights are very good aswell.
Does the Houston footage have good video of the crown rising up at the beginning? They cut that off the Greatest Video Hits DVD, so I'm wondering if there was a problem with it (they put a still image of it at the end though)....
I saw Houston on the Dutch convention and I was disappointed by the picture quality because I expected the fan club has a good copy. The video is full of stripes from bad NTSC to PAL conversion and the only colour in it is green. Apart from the bad picture quality the concert is oddly un-live because you never see and hardly ever hear anything of the audience. It looks like they are playing in an empty hall.
Having said that I thought the video is great. Amazing set list and great performance. Houston is certainly worth an official release and I hope it will happen some day. I would not want to have to choose between EC and Houston, both are great and hopefully come out some day.

The full film is EXACTLY the same quality - it was filmed by the same team of cameramen - I know for certain because a friend of mine that lives in California was one of that team and he retained a copy of the complete show for his personal use - he was on the camera that was used to shoot Brian's side of the stage and also has the single camera footage of Brian from that night. I've been treated to evenings at his house to view it all and it's bloody good stuff, but certainly not as good IMO as Earls Court - the colour is not quite as sharp either.
It's amazing the wealth of footage he kept - some great bands.

I suppose the original tape is okay, it's just that the Fan Club has a very badly converted PAL copy.
The fan club has a first generation bootleg.
QPL on the other hand owns the master tapes.
BIG distinction between the two.
