It seems the TopPop archive is in the works of being remastered. Many performances, of course, have been shot on video and not film, so not much improvement is to be expected from these performances.
However, I was delighted with the tasteful way they have treated this performance. Slight improvement from the original, and a very enjoyable watch.

lol any drummer can tell that roger has been instructed to play the cymbals as quietly as possible. He looks incredibly uncomfortable.
I personally prefer the original non-remastered. The 50fps is nice, but the new one has a really uncanny oil-painting look to it.
Unfortunately, you get the tradeoff of 480p YouTube compression, but imo it's the way to go.

  See how the texture in Freddie's face disappears and he looks oily. I really would have preferred a simple de-interlaced 1080p upload of the original |

Here's where you and I differ. Having the interlaced look back in the video makes the world of difference to me and the "oil painting look" as you describe it is far more acceptable than a de-interlaced, jerky picture. |

Loss of the genuine detail in Freddie's face for uncanny sharpening and glossiness just looks plain bad, I will agree though that the interlaced look is a huge plus for the new one. |

It does look great, although the new toppop upload is a few seconds longer, shame so many channels ruin uploads like this by using poor video upscaling. |

A de-interlaced video shouldn't be jerky, It would only really appear jerky if it were de-interlaced with the wrong field order, if anything de-interlaced would have smooth motion if it was double rate (each field being a different frame) since it'd be 50 fps |
