Yeah but you'll notice it says that page was created by a seller. It wasn't an official release, trust me :)
I hadn't noticed until you told me. I found two DVDs of the concert for sale on Ebay, and in NTSC format, so most likely they are DVD-Rs. I guess the file I downloaded long ago was a VHS rip, and it was in PAL.
You will notice one items says it comes with case and artwork, but it doesn't sound at all like the official release.
I found the DVD I made with Nerovision, and the video quality is quite bad. The colours scramble frequently, and the picture becomes distorted in the manner a VCR recording does when it is auto-tracking. But the sound is exceptional, I thought they might be lip-syncing, or they mixed the audio, it sounds that close to a studio recording. I believe the concert was recorded for TV and then released as a VHS video. This is by far the best live concert video by Queen I have seen.
I re-encoded the video with Canopus, I ripped the DVD into one big VOB file and then encoded it again, and took two screen shots, one example of what the scrambly video looks like, and one of a good scene, but I can't upload them to this thread.
I guess my only hope is that someday I may be able to access the video I have stored on the DVD-R disc as data, or find another VHS rip. It seems highly unlikely that this will ever be released by Queen again.

I have some links but I don't think that I can share it in here, because queenonline mentions it in the history section, which means: Official! ;-{

Are they of the entire concert?[/QUOTE]
Running time 52:32 or so, so it should be complete and the quality is very good+ in my opinion but I haven't watched the whole show yet.
VCD format

No. It's very cut up...especially toward the end.[/QUOTE]
According to www.ultimatequeen.co.uk it's the runningtime, so it must be what's available.
I've been watching some more of it, and there are places where you can see that it's from VHS, but nothing too disturbing.
tgunn just mail me. Look in my profile.

Thanks PBB.
The video is not cut up. I was most likely edited a fair bit, I would think a typical Queen concert runs more than an hour. But in the video you can see the band exit a limo and enter the theater, and then exit the stage while the audience is cheering, in 52+ minutes.
I wonder why they-whoever they are-edit Queen concerts so badly. They made a mess of the "Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert" as well, especially the DVD version. The VHS version is a bit better.
