I just finished watching this DVD on my Roku player via Netflix. When I read that the release of this concert was a rocky road, with the band not particularly interested in its release, and not pleased with the director it answered my question as to why it had not been released earlier. Fortunately for all of us, Queen finally agreed. Of course modern technology makes it possible to remix and edit the original tapes and whatever else they do.
It's the best of everything. I had the wonderful experience of 'discovering' Queen at Live-Aid. Watching Freddie take control of the audience, especially during Radio Gaga, was a rare experience. He owned the stage and the audience. I became a fan for life.
This concert is a must-see. As is true of most of Queen's music, it is not dated and their songs are so good I never tire of hearing/seeing them again.

I just finished watching this film and was delighted, mainly in having the chance to experience elements of a Ziegfeld show in its time. Rudy Vallee and a very funny Eddie Cantor were very good, but watching and hearing the great Helen Morgan was a special treat. A taste of Broadway history. At opening night of the big show there are cameos of celebrities of the period including Ring Lardner, NY Mayor Jimmy Walker, Adolph Zukor, Noah Berry, Texas Guinan, and Ziegfeld and his wife Billie Burke. They are spotted by announcer Norman Brokenshire and reported into a large Columbia (CBS) microphone in the lobby. Ziegfeld reportedly supervised this film. He died 2 years after its release. Of course film quality and production values are not what we have now but take this film for what it is and you'll enjoy it.
