Summary: 5 Stars

Here to entertain is the Ultimate God of Rock and his Prince's Brian, John and Roger. These four men are genius's of music and performing. Songs are timeless and energetic in nature. Treat Yourself

DVD Review: It's Like Being There!
Summary: 5 Stars

The picture is crystal clear - it is like being at the concert. Even though Mercury is long dead, he looks very much alive on this disc (I know he WAS alive on this disc, but you know what I mean). The sound is spectacular and this disc is in 24/96Khz! For that alone it's worth a purchase. The music sounds pefect. With Blu Ray, it's like being there!

DVD Review: It's a kind of MAGIC!
Summary: 5 Stars

I was fortunate to see Queen twice during the "Jazz" tour and they were a terrific live act to say the least. This I believe is the tour for "The Game", but the set design is basically the same although Freddy had moved on from his "Biker" persona to a more wistful and sometimes shirtless version of himself. Let me just say that this is Queen at their very, very best live. They were totally in sync with each other musically and the songs have a spark and a rhythm that I've never heard before. The Live Aid portion of the disc is amazing. I saw this performance on television back in '85 and my recollection of it doesn't compare to what is actually was. For one thing, the sound now is beyond anything that existed back then. The fidelity is surprisingly full and clear. The picture is also quite fantastic especially considering that this was recorded on video tape nearly 25 years ago. One can actually see some detail in the phenomenal crowd on the reverse wide shots (what the performers were looking at). That being said, it's too bad that this history making show wasn't captured on film. The aspect ratio is only 4:3 and I can only imagine how incredible the images could have been with a clearer and wider perspective. Even so, I was actually very impressed with the camera work given the obvious limitations that the crew were saddled with. The Live Aid section is worth the price of this alone! If you have the means, get this on Blu-Ray as the picture and sound are incomparable.

DVD Review: Ready Freddie...?!?!?!
Summary: 5 Stars

The concert is amazing.. Queen at it's best.. plus the 1985 LIVE AID famous 17 minutes of QUEEN... Need I say more???

If you're a fan, buy it and enjoy, if not a fan, buy it AND LEARN and see history in the making!!!!
