This is the only show from the Crazy Tour we can hear from a decent recording, so clearly we're a bit biased to it! All the other shows from the tour were probably just as good.[/QUOTE]
True, but seeing as the recording of this show is superior, that would give it an edge over any show of the SAME quality, wouldn't it?[/QUOTE]
I don't understand what you mean...
If a recording of another show from this tour comes out in the same quality as the Hammersmith recording, I'm sure the show will be just as good. I'd say Freddie's voice was in better shape in the Newcastle shows, so surely there must have been some fantastic shows all through the tour.[/QUOTE]
I see your point, Sir GH, but I always thought of the Hammersmith show as something special. Of course the good sound quality and the video give it an advantage over any other known Crazy tour concerts. But still it's different. It has no flaws at all, everything is near perfect and in some parts even better: audience interaction, the Silent Night surprise in Brian's Solo, the singalong part in CLTCL. Maybe it was the cameras that made them try hardest or the charity aspect?

I'm pretty sure there greatest show isn't something that was filmed, my father saw them 3 times, all in the 70's, and he said that concerts in the DVD's (both commercial and not) just straight up suck compared to the concerts he saw.
Yeah hopefully there is some good footage out there somewhere...I don't think new fans really can "get it" with what's officially released on DVD/VHS....
I find that their best shows were from 76-79. Honestly, I wonder how many shows sit in the vaults in useable quality. Probably not many, if any at all, but here's what we know of:
Houston 77 isn't one of them, because Roger's vocals are distorted (unless they have a multitrack that was recorded better than the video soundtrack). An Earls Court 77 two-night complilation is a possibility, as is Hyde Park 76. They might have the Munich 78 footage as well. How about a Paris 79 compilation? We've heard about Fort Worth 77, but that's never been shown on a documentary or anything. Other than that, what else could there be?
However, from the footage of these shows that we've seen, surely none of it is a good representation of what a 70s Queen concert was. Things are looking grim for a decent 70s DVD release.

Do we have any proof actually that Houston'77 was multitracked? If there is no multitrack recording then it certainly won't get a release of it's own. I'm wondering whether they have any multitracks from the NOTW tour at all, since there weren't plans for an official release from this tour unlike Earls Court and of course the LK tour.

My Melancholy Blues from Houston was released as a b-side to one of the songs from The Miracle back in '89, so I'd like to assume it is multi-tracked. It's definitely not the same version as was released on Rare Live. The b-side version is the complete song, and the quality is fantastic.
