Posted this a while back, but no-one responded. Anyone know why Under Pressure was cut out of the CD? I'm assuming for copyright reasons, but I'd like to know.

I think without doubt gaining copywrite would have been an issue therefore cutting it was the easy option.
Was that copyright from Bowie?
It was never intended to be on the CD or DVD. It has nothing to do with copyright.
Yes, he shared the writing credits.
What makes you believe that it was never intended to go on CD/DVD? they have never stated this.
Simon Lupton said, it's because the band were conscious that the filming takes away from the concert experience somewhat, with different lightning etc. They wanted one track where fans could get the same atmosphere as fans at other venues, with no filming lights etc.

Yes, they bloody did. At the gig, just before the song Brian said taht it's only for the audience at the venue and it won't be on DVD. Simple as that. I think that shopuld cover the "they stated it" bit... BTW- I was there and heard it perfectly clear...

Well done numpty, but the reason was COPYWRITE if you really think it was because thye didn't want it on the CD then you don't understand simple business issues.
They had to play it because it's been such a hit, however Mr Bowie has put up many barriers in the past for putting it out on disk

I am affraid that you are talking complete crap. It was never going to be on the CD or DVD. Period.

Crap indeed. Queen owns the copyright. It's been on GH2 and 3, on the DVD's, etc.. It was just played in sheffield for the fans
Just think about that for a moment, now does it really make sense to decide to drop one song from the DVD to please the audience, which just happens to be the one song they have to get approval to use!
Sorry but Queen only own part copywrite,
period.
period.
Are you smoking crack????
A) It was never going to be on the DVD or CD
B) It sounded pretty crap anyway
C) IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COPYRIGHT

Do you have any idea of the process of including it in a release, never mind dividing royalties afterwards, of course it's a major part of the issue.
Besides they played it after Sheffield, so it was not just a one off for the fans in Sheffield
