Queen will release a limited edition 6 DVD box set on November 19 that features four concerts, including “Live At Wembley Stadium – 25th Anniversary Edition”, “Queen Rock Montreal”, “On Fire: Live At The Bowl”, and “Live In Rio.”

Exclusive to this package, “Live In Rio” features the band performing at the “Rock In Rio” festival in January 1985 in front of 250,000 fans.

“Live at Wembley Stadium – 25th Anniversary Edition” was originally released as a separate DVD in the US in March of this year, and features two sell-out shows at London’s famed Wembley Arena in 1986. This DVD includes the bonus film “The Magic Tour,” which features interviews with Brian May and Roger Taylor filmed in 2011, where the members reflect on this 1986 tour.

Filmed in 1981, “Queen Rock Montreal” was the group’s only concert to be shot on 35mm full cinema format film (they were the first band to do so). Originally titled, “We Will Rock You”, this film was first launched at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1983. North America followed suit in September 1984, making “Queen Rock Montreal” the first commercially available film of Queen in concert.

Re-issued on DVD this past May, “On Fire – Live At The Bowl” features Queen in the midst of their 1982 “Hot Space” Tour. This show includes a second disc with bonus interviews, a photo gallery, and additional performances from Tokyo and Vienna.

A nice package (though I have most of this stuff already), but there's already enough stuff out there from the 1981-1986 era.

How about some classic stuff from the seventies??

A triple dip. I have all of those except the Rio show (obviously). I'll wait for Rio to be sold separately (and hopefully on Blu Ray).

People are sick and tired of double dipping.

This is the kind of stuff that really aggravates me. I was a little bugged by the 3-DVD sets that came out a couple weeks (Zappa, Gary Moore, Doors, et al) because they had stuff I already had - mostly with the Doors set because it was two I wanted and one I just got.

But this - one exclusive disc combined with a bunch of stuff that was already out (and that I already bought) - this really gripes me. Standalone, I'd be all over Rio in a heartbeat. But I'm not paying the freight for three I already have just to get that one.

As much of a Queen fan as I am, I have none of this, so I could go for it.

Why the 70's stuff hasn't surfaced, I do not know. There's loots of pro-shot stuff out there, although some is in Mono, some is a little dark and some has those horizontal lines from the audio-sensitive cameras.

But it's all very watchable and needs to be out there!

The December 1975 London show was put together by the band and broadcast on the BBC just two or so years ago. They also alluded to it being prepared for dvd release. Nothing as yet. Also, the Houston 1977 show is excellent and shows up on youtube.
