Man, i`m from the time when there would not be any extras on VHS and it rocked big way. I know that with the HI-Tech nowadays people allways whant more and better but i think things are getting out of control here.
To say that Wembley has a poor quality or whathever, it`s not fair simply because it`s damn good, and with all the High definition nowadays i think that all the improvements in sound, from now on, wont be of great importance because your ear simply don`t get that.
To put a 2-disc set on this one would be great but it would also be more expensive, and for once, i really think that this was a wise decision to make because some people don`t wan`t to pay that extra money to see a backstage interview.
I think that in the begining they were planing a 2-DVD set, because they were counting on the Summer tour. Since that tour didn`t sold out they didn`t have enough material to fill the second disc.

Thing is, Queen have established a certain level of quality regarding bonus features on their DVDs now, every one has been a 2 disc set and now they're taking a step backwards. This is a legit reason for criticism.
As for it being more expensive as a 2 disc set, all the other 2 disc sets were not expensive, in fact I never paid more than $20 for any of them.
They obviously had plenty of footage to use, from bonus footage at other concerts, interviews, rehearsal footage and so on.
What is painfully clear is that Queen are planning either a re-release of the "champions" DVD as a 2 disc set or Hyde Park getting a DVD release with the bonus features. Greed is not good.

I understand your point of view, but in Portugal the Queen DVD`s are the most expensive (30 euros in some cases). In some cases, the Queen DVD`s are 100% more expensive than other bands, in other cases they are 50% more expensive.
If you compare the prices you pay for the Queen products i bet than you get the same result.
The thing is, this as been an expensive year for a Queen fan, and it`s not over yet. You have the ROTC and ANATO DVD`s coming out. Of course i would love to see the extras but if that means i`m gonna pay less it`s alright by me.
And they know, as we do, that the real extras we`re interested in are the "Real Queen" ones so to speack. If they want to invest time in extras they can do it with the Feeddie`s era.

Its not painfully clear to me that they're planning on re-releasing the ROTC set as a 2 disc set. I don't think there's one chance in a hundred that they will do that. And if they do release the Hyde Park show with a lot of bonus features, you can't say that they're making you buy the same concert twice just to get the bonus features. Its a different concert. The set is pretty much the same, but the venue and the performance will be completely different. So I don't think its a fair criticism to accuse them of greed. If you're disappointed that ROTC lacks extra features, that's fair. But saying they're greedy because of something you assume is going to happen but may well not happen is jumping the gun.

F+ck it... First the shitty view from the drums when the curtain falls, then no UP and no concert intro? Okay we could live with that, if we try hard enough, but why just one DVD? What did WE do wrong? They filmed tones of material to put on the bonus DVD but still... No extra's :'( G0DD&MN&T I'm really pissed this time.
I'll still buy it... Of course;)
And btw: What did Bri say about the multi camera thing? He loved it... And we did. SO why no multi cam thing?!?

Agree with people here. I`m disappointed that this will only be a 1 disc release. I really hoped this would contain bonus tracks, interviews etc...etc...
Why is the big question? (Money, don`t think it`s that)
If the intention is releasing the bonus features on a possible Hyde Park 2005 DVD, then it`s ok....else, shame on QP!
I will buy the ROTC DVD, cous any release is better then no release!

I'm still buying it too, to go along with the CD version that I bought just yesterday (which itself has a misprinted booklet! See my topic in Queen - General Discussion for more details)
In fact, I'm getting it off a guy on eBay who already has at least 3 copies already, which haven't come out yet otherwise in the USA!

You could look at this release as another Live Magic thing. You know, more like a souvenir for the tour, and actually cheaper than most of the things for sale at the gigs, hehe :). I don't know how enjoyable those extras would have been. Think about it, most of the gigs were pretty much the same: "On the guitar, mister Paul Rodgers (and he strums it only about 3 times), "The spirit of Queen lives in you, guys", "I'm wearing a condom right now...", "Mr. Danny Miranda, also from (whatever city they played in)".
Don't get me wrong, they could have put many other things but I really don't see them making a Backstage Documentary or anything that shows them as regular people. Snippets from the outdoor gigs? It was the same setlist and I think that not all of those gigs sold out.
I would like to think of this as asouvenir from the tour. That's the best I could do, I think, hehe :). Let's hope their following releases are more spectacular.
The only think I'm really going to regret is if they cut off the IABD/Lose Yourself intro. I don't think it's going to look so good. We'll see.
