Disc 1 recorded at the Forum, Montreal, Canada on 24th-25th
November 1981.
Disc 2 recorded at Live Aid, Wembley Stadium, London, on 13 July
1985.
This concert was simultaneously released as a double album, and full
details of all tracks are found on the album page. The first DVD
is essentially a re-release of the 1984 'We
Will Rock You' video, but it has been extensively remixed and
restored and the quality of both the visual and audio content is
vastly improved. There are numerous other differences aswell,
this release has new titles, different footage at the end of the
concert, and there are some subtle differences in terms of camera
angles etc. The sound also has some differences, see the Queen Rock Montreal album
page for full details of these.
The single DVD, and the first DVD in the double disc set, simply
contains the concert, in stereo and surround sound, or with
commentary by Brian and Roger. When the DVD first loads, the
concert begins, with a mini menu allowing you to play in stereo,
surround sound or go to the main menu. This menu disappears at
approximately 1:25, and the concert continues as normal.
The main menu features a montage of photographs, with a 0:52 edit
of the 'Introduction', and features options for Play Concert,
Song Selection (featuring the song titles spread over 2 screens,
with further photo montages, and a 1:06 edit of the
'Introduction'), Commentary by Brian May and Roger Taylor (goes
to a screen with the 0:52 edit of the 'Introduction', and a
picture of John; this allows you to select the subtitle language
(German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese or
None) or to play the concert with commentary), and finally Audio
Options (goes to a screen with a picture of Roger, the 0:52 edit,
and allows you to select between LPCM Stereo and DTS Digital
Surround Sound).
The audio is available in stereo or surround sound, for which the
front channel seems normal, the centre channel is silent, and the
rear channels mainly feature audience noise and echoed music.
The second disc focuses entirely on Queen's performance at Live
Aid in 1985. The menu features a photo montage, with an 0:52 edit
of the 'Introduction' from disc 1, and has the following
features:
Complete Live Aid Performance (stereo or surround sound) (25
minutes)
1. Queen enter the stage
2. Bohemian Rhapsody
3. Radio Ga Ga
4. Freddie Singalong
5. Hammer To Fall
6. Crazy Little Thing Called Love
7. We Will Rock You
8. We Are The Champions
9. Is This The World We Created?
Live Aid Rehearsal (11
minutes) - this was originally broadcast in the UK on TV-AM in
the week before Live Aid, and includes an interview and
rehearsals of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and 'Radio Ga Ga' plus a short
excerpt of 'Hammer To Fall'.
TV Interview USA '82 (7 minutes) - a mini-feature on the band,
shown on the USA TV show 'PM Magazine'. It features short
interviews with Roger, Brian and John, a mini-biography, footage
from some promo videos, and excerpts from album tracks.
The menus also feature a weblink for more information, and a
subtitle submenu, which features a photo of Brian, with the same
0:52 'Introduction' edit as the main menu, and subtitles
available in German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch and
Portuguese; they are only available for the rehearsal and
interview footage.
The Live Aid footage is identical to that previously released in
the boxed set. The surround sound mix through all channels is
similar to normal, but on the centre channel the band is more
prominent, and on the rear channels the audience is more
prominent.
