Asking for more help from the knowledgeable Queen fans in this group.
I love to watch Queen perform live and I love the live versions of the songs. Having said that, I can't stand the bad video and bad sound of much of what I've found on YouTube. The best-recorded concerts I have found are these: Hammersmith Odeon, 1975; Montreal, 1981; Milton Keynes, 1982; Live Aid, 1985; Budapest, 1986; Wembley, 1986. What am I missing? Should I buy any videos? Which ones? (I did buy Wembley already.)
Thanks in advance for your advice.

You forgot two:
Rainbow Theatre (March 31, 1974) Audio quality: A+/ Video quality: A+ (although it's only two songs)
Rainbow Theatre (November 19/20, 1974) Audio quality: A+/Video quality: A+
If you want a raw recording, get Live Aid. If you want to get a concert just to watch and listen to, get Rainbow Theatre (November), Milton Keynes, and Budapest.

Houston '77 has pretty good quality video for the entire show, so if video/audio quality is what you are looking for, then you will probably appreciate that one. One that I personally really like is Hammersmith '79, though the video/audio is maybe not quite as good quality and video is not available for the entire show (some is missing), but the concert/performance itself is great IMO.

The first post in this thread has links to five excellent sounding shows (mostly audience tapes):
Boston 76 and Houston 77 are by far the best ones. Start there.

When it comes to audience tapes I would recommend
Tokyo 1.5.1975 - they are on fire that night with probably the most amazing "Liar" ever.
Montreal 1978 - one of the best "Live Killers" shows (and also a great recording after removing some ugly audience clapping....)
And to this day I most of all love the "Sheetkeeckers"-bootleg, no matter how many overdubs it has, there is a "certain something", that the official version does not have....

The OP has clearly stated that the poor quality of most youtube stuff (except official releases) is not to their liking. I'm not sure how a list of audience bootlegs is appropriate... -- Basically OP, you won't go too far wrong with any official DVDs, the ones you already listed, plus "Rainbow" as suggested. It depends what your favourite 'era' of the band is, Rainbow is very different to Wembley/Budapest. Personally I love "On Fire". Besides that, Hammersmith 79, Earl's Court 77 (unofficial on youtube) are generally good video/sound quality, bar a few songs, as the footage is compiled from various sources. People have done great jobs unofficially editing/remastering these, and these 'good' uploaders' channels are well worth looking through, Chief Mouse etc. Rio 85 is decent too, was an actual official release so quality is OK.  |
