Queen I Box Set - Post-Release Discussion

I have no further info about venues but I'm assuming during some shows during the ANATO tour, maybe NOTW tour 

it'd had been awesome to listen Mad The Swine live in the 1974 US tour, I'm quite sure they recorded some gig from that tour

Your post: reported.

Ok, and now it's put up or shut up time. That's the second claim you've made on this one page that's, to put it kindly, extraordinary. Either back up your claims with some evidence, or lose your remaining credibility. Those are the choices, nothing else.

Oh my - you are so right! I just listened to the full song again and the backing track is there underneath the guitars. Never paid any attention to it before. Makes me love the song and this box set even more. And makes me more impressed by bands (and producers and engineers) and their ability to layer sounds to create the ultimate song. The more I listen to stems and backing tracks and some remixes (and not just of Queen songs) the more amazed I am at the little individual things that are mixed together to create the whole song.

Sorry, I hate to talk down on the work of a passionate fan, but I'm of the opinion that all generative AI is low effort, soulless slop. 
It was bad with TNCD, and although you gave more attention to detail here, it still feels soulless and hollow. I appreciate the effort you put into naturally integrating the footage, but it's still just devoid of any creativity or artistic intent. (In comparison to say, All Dead, All Dead's fantastic video.)

Your effort is clearly more visible than QPL's video made for The Night Comes Down, but I dislike both. I'd rather get punched in the gut than kicked in the balls, but I don't appreciate either.

Bit unfair Miles. Considering it's an amateur production, it's pretty good and, as you say, better than the official Queen channel's production of TNCD.
Sure, the concert visuals don't match, but since there's no video of GKR from that time period that I'm aware of, he's done his best (I'm assuming the creator is a he - some folks get worked up about pronouns these days).
It IS a shame there's so much repetition of the rat in the hat visual, but the opening scenes show some imagination and the manipulated image of Freddie singing "Wouldn't you like to know" is at least in sync, which is more than I can say for other "Ai" works.
Frankly i wouldn't even know how to do what he's done!

Onto a different note: The Official Queen Channel.
I think it should be apparant to everyone these days that shamefully the channel has limited, or no access, to the Queen archives, other than what's already out there in the public domain and most likely has a very limited budget as well, meaning that pretty much everything probably has to be done in-house. I think we got lucky with the All Dead video that a bit of money was thrown at it to be made by someone with an artistic talent.

The days of DoRo cutting clips videos together have (thankfully) long gone and cheaply produced animations with a bit of Ai thrown in appear to have replaced that.
When you don't have a band anymore that you can put in a film studio and create something new with, what DO you do for a promo video?
I'm afraid Ai IS the way forwards and, as the people who are using it learn how to do more and more with it, the results will improve and we will have a proper, fluid, digitally created band again, performing on stage and in other scenarios for promo videos. Just so long as there's something blatantly noticible about the images that show it's not real.

In the Queen I unboxing video on Youtube Brian mentions that the band never played The Night Comes Down live. That gives even less credence to the supposedly 'handwritten by Freddie' setlist for the 1972 King's College gig that mentions the song.

But then, neither is the handwritten setlist conclusive evidence that they did. It may have been written beforehand and the song was subsequently dropped for the actual show.

I was stopped in traffic listening to the last song on the 3rd sessions disc, when I spontaneously invented some crap alternative lyrics to SWaFIB.

Instead of "Greyhound bus had gone" or "Sixteen coaches long", I sang "Jesus fucking Christ".

I have enjoyed listening to the Queen I box set in my car (downloaded from Amazon) for the past 10 days. My CD allowed me to quickly compare the various versions of songs, because (unfortunately) my single mp3 CDR DATA disc was mistakenly recorded in alphabetical order by Windows Media Player. I had dragged the following PC file folders into Windows Media Player, but it did not recognize the file folders ...

Queen I - Disc 1 - 2024 album mix
Queen I - Disc 2 - De Lane Lea
Queen I - Disc 3 - Sessions disc
Queen I - Disc 4 - Instrumental
Queen I - Disc 5 - BBC
Queen I - Disc 6 - Live

At some point, I will need to create a single file folder of songs numbered from 01 to 63 and then drag those individual songs into Windows Media Player to rerecord my mp3 CD disc (hopefully in numerical order), but I am in no hurry after OD-ing on this Queen I box set.

Could Silver Salmon be from 1972 rather than the NotW sessions?

I finally got my box set from FedEx today! So nice to have the book. Going through the tedious process of importing the discs into my ancient iTunes, to then import into my iBroadcast library, onto my thumb drive, etc.
