If the atatcks didn't happen two guys from darkness were supposed to join Queen on stage and they rehearsed Now I'm Here and Seven Seas Of rhye for that occasion. THOSE were suppose to be as bonus... After they changed the date, guys from Darkness couldn't make it...

Just survived watching the 140 minute DVD without having a stroke or something.
The Fast editing is distracting and unnecessary- it really ruins the experience..please focus on a shot of a band member for at least 10 seconds...not two.
There where far to many sweeping crowd shots not enough of the band. And no shots of me who was in the upper tier row 19 at the show ;-)
The sound was EXCELLENT.
Bonus of imagine--very nice

I grabbed my DVD of ROTC yesterday and was able view some of it already. (It was like being there Sunday night all over again!) I agree with the reviews above with regard to production and 5.1 sound quality. (Displaying on a 60" HD screen wasn't too shabby either) :').
I have no problem with the use of the fast-editing, IMO this technique works well and expresses the energy of the show. BoRap with "taped" Freddie is a major highlight, especially the conclusion where PR sings alternating lines w/Freedie and Paul's voice ends up finishing very strong! Nice Job.
I think Brian intentionally teases Its Late prior to Hammer!...and a touch of Love Token (I think) leads into FBG.
ps. I enjoyed the inclusion of AKOM in the DVD, IMO Queen always did a great job on the live rendition.

it's a rip off !
Let us also rememberw were supposed to get :
- Bo Rhap download for free (and we had to wait for months to burn the Europe Live CD's, dammit !)
- Downloads from Outdoor gigs
- QPR's hear as far the setlist (remember the poll ?). Well, I don't believe anybody asked for Last Horizon !
Long live QPR, but enough with broken promises !

With footage from the US on there aswell. They must be planning some sort of other release from the tour.

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]Wigglekitty wrote: [/QUOTENAME]Hmm, believe it or not the mix seems to be an actual 5.1 remix! I extracted 'Wishing Well' and low and behold, the center channel is just drums, bass and a bit a vocal!
I'll email you Richard with some links to have a listen if you'd like :)
This is amazing.. what I'd always hoped for in a live 5.1 mix.. no crowd noise in the center.. they're still on the right & left front though :-P[/QUOTE]
Well, any centre channel activity that doesn't draw (or upmix) from the stereo front channels, is better than none!
And thanks for the 5.1 rips, darling! I really enjoyed "Imagine"!
Shame this PC I'm on doesn't have Goldwave or Adobe Audition, so I can't piece it together, but I get home in 3 days, so I can put it together there and then!
But thanks! Now all I gotta do is wait for the DVD I ordered off of eBay (from USA), which was also incidentally (apparently) shipped on Monday!

With the Blu-Ray discs coming out next spring, I wouldn't be surprised if Queen and QPR re-release everything on Blu-Ray sometime in the near future.
I actually e-mailed Justin Shirley-Smith this past week about whether he and the Queen guys would look at BD as a format to (re-)release their albums on in high definition surround sound (which I pointed out to him can go up to 192/24 - 7.1, especially in DTS HD) to compliment the DVD-Audio releases, and he said that they would be looking at the new format(s) with interest. He imagines that the menus will probably be nicer, and I agreed with him, since I saw a little bit of the Java features that Blu-Ray implements for its "interactive menus" in a video from a German electronics fair recently, and it's cool!

Where's the Majesty of Queen in just one DVD?
it's 2005!! :( for live at wembley 1986 there are two dvds with lots of bonuses, On Fire is again double....this time there were the chance to make it unforgettable and.....?
i'm sure it's great in itself, but expectations are higher than reality.

Well, don't forget the saying "Don't count your chickens before they hatch"
I think that applies to this situation.
As well as "You can't always get what you want", which is always unfortunately true with Queen / QPL

Im waiting for mine to come from Amazon. I cant wait!@!!
I've converted the DTS to Dolby Digital today, and just finished listening up through 'Last Horizon'. Quite impressive I must say. Not too much panning effects until the guitar solo, then the 5.1 really shines, with Brian's delays panning around :)
Even though they did finally use the center.. it appears very quiet in the mix. I'm almost thinking they just stuck a bit of quiet stuff there to shut up those of us who've complained about them not using it at all ;)
Also thought I'd mention that you can see Michelle several times in and around the acoustic section ('39, Love of My Life). I'm gonna get some caps of her and see if the tribute site would like to have them... unless someone already has.

Jeffrey darling, could I make one more request?
BohRap from ROTC, in 5.1 :)
If you have time, that is...

Yes sir :)
Easier for me to grab it from my DD mix though.. I've deleted the original files. I'll email you soon :)

What software do you use to do this?
What software do you use to do this?
First I extract the files using the settings for 'all 6 channels' but I do not save each channel to a separate file. This creates what I call a multichannel wav. A single file containing all 6 channels. (Edit: and I had to do each chapter as a separate file.. I was getting mute files after the first 3 songs by doing it as one big file)
(Edit #2: Using DVD Audio Extractor)
Then this multichannel wav imports into NeroVision, and with the 5.1 plug-in, it somehow knows where to put the channels. I was as shocked as anybody else that it actually works :)
Now, I haven't been able to get the video part converted to a new DVD.. a combination of not having enough HD space, and the time it would take. NeroVision won't just leave it as is and allow me to add the new audio.. it insists upon re-encoding the whole thing.
So what I did is make a Slide Show DVD, using just plain black images, and timed each slide to be the duration of the song.. this creates the chapters where I need them. So I basically turned it into an audio-only disc in Dolby Digital 5.1
Last night I synced this with the DVD playing in my 2nd player, and voila!
