2.0 out of 5 stars The Laserdisc is so much better, since it has the whole show, Feb 24 2004
By Kristian C. Orberg - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My long time waiting for a DVD version of that old but great Laserdisc was wasted. It's absolutely depressing what they did here, by cutting some of the best parts of the original show.

The Queen Medley by the great band Extreme was probably the best part of this show, not only because the way they played, but also because the playlist choice. A Medley of Bohemian Rhapsody, Bycicle Race, Another One Bites Dust, Keep Yourselves Alive, and others leading to one of the most beautiful moments of the show: the Radio Ga Ga ending, leading the audience to tears.
Although the sound has been improved and a new and useless "extra materials" has been added, it doesn't worth the content they cut (opening act, Metallica, Def Leppard, GnR, Extreme and others).

I would never exchange the old original laserdisc for this useles "extra materials" with a bunch of new footage.

3.0 out of 5 stars I came out of my skin when I saw what was missing!, Dec 30 2003
By NativeDave "nativedave" (Jacksonville, FL) - See all my reviews
I too own the laserdisc of this show and got the DVD for the new mix in DTS. The sound is good, but it's the content they cut (the opening acts) such as Metallica, Def Leppard, GnR, Extreme and others. I would have gladly forfeited the "extra materials" for the original show instead of a bunch of new footage that was just as well served on the cutting room floor. Don't get me wrong, the performances they left in are great...but shame on them for cutting what they did...typical non-musician producer. The 2-star drop is for that reason alone. Glad I didn't sell the laserdisc!

1.0 out of 5 stars Thanks for the warning!, Oct 8 2008
I also taped this when it first aired but no longer have the tape. I would gladly buy an old VHS copy taped from TV, comercials and all before I ever bought all this overpackaging. My wife and I both love Queen but we are not suckers. I'll wait until I see the WHOLE concert unedited on DVD before I buy. Even if it costs more. Thanks for the warning.
