Summary: Queen We Will Rock You DTS
Review: Finally we get to see and hear the greatest act on earth on DVD and in DTS 5.1!
The new DTS mix is clearer and more consistent in sound with the vocals especially advantaged by the DTS makeover.
Picture quality is the best I've seen of this 20 year old footage.
A wonderful performance from the four greatest human beings ever to live. An absolute must!

Summary: Hey there, Queen fans!
Review: To everyone who has heard negative reviews of this DVD--don't take them too seriously. This remastered version is definately worth watching, as all the problems with the first version have been corrected. The visual and audio qualities are impeccable, and the bonus features (photo gallery, "Queenie" tour of London) are fun. Granted, the Montreal audience could have been more responsive during the show, but the band's performance is excellent, as always. I'm told that a true Queen concert, experienced live, far exceeds this recording. Nevertheless, while we wait for better things--Wembley? Live Aid?--to be released on DVD, this particular concert can satisfy our appetites for the time being.

Summary: Classic Queen in Widescreen and DTS surround
Review: I was lucky (or unlucky) enough to be given the old Queen 'We will Rock You' DVD as a gift just when my new DTS Queen DVD arrived in the mail from Amazon. So I was able to directly compare the old and new DVD.The new 'We will Rock You' DVD is far superior to the old version and has been completely remastered. The new DVD has high definition video in Widescreen anamorphic (approx 1.85:1) and, on my DVD, both DD5.1 and DTS sound tracks. The new DVD also has worthwhile extras including a commentary that provides some insight into what Queen really was like. See Michael Allred's review for a full description of the new extras. The sound has been remastered and remixed and is about as good as you will get for a 1985 concert recording. Vocals and instruments are now clearly defined across the sound stage with a full, real sound that was lacking in the old mix. Freddie's vocals have been brought out of the background to now be clear and powerful as they should be. The surrounds were almost non-existent in the old DVD but in the new mix they are used well to support the front sound stage, especially in Bohemian Rhapsody when we get a brief taste of what the new 'Night at the Opera' DTS DVD will be like. Previous reviewers have commented that the DTS track is very poor or non-existent. This maybe because, while the DD track is 5.1, the DTS track is only 5 channel, not the normal 6 channels. Some DVD players or audio systems may not cope well with this without changing settings. I had no problems with my system and both sound tracks were excellent. There are subtle but noticeable differences between the DD and DTS tracks, the DTS track providing a crisper and more open sound together with more use of the surrounds, and the DD track having a slightly fuller bottom end. Whichever one you choose, you won't be disappointed as the remaster has produced a well balanced, high fidelity audio recording. The concert itself (the reason for buying this DVD!) includes most of the classic Queen hits but with the added power and artistic interpretation that only a great live band like Queen can produce. Freddie's performance is superb, and every member of the band adds some 'zing' to make this live performance better than any studio recording could hope to be. It is a great pitty that the audience act as if they would rather be somewhere else but ignore them - you will have a great time! This DVD is a must for Queen fans and anyone who likes their music. Make sure you get the new version (it has the whole band on the front cover). Unless you have a particular preference for DTS or can get the DTS version for the same price, the DD5.1 version is all you need for a great Queen sound and video experience. Highly Recommended

Summary: Don't blame DTS
Review: This is definitely NOT the DTS version. The sound is definitely less than desirable and quite shallow. That said, be on the lookout for the DTS DVD-Audio disc of Queen's "A Night at the Opera". (I think it's coming out sometime in the beginning of 2002). I've heard a couple of tracks and it is absolutely breath-taking. And even though it's a DVD-A, they still have the original "Bohemian Rhapsody" video on there that will blow you away. The guys at DTS definitely know how to do surround sound.

Summary: Fantastic Band but the DTS sound is terrible
Review: I am a very big Queen fan since is saw them in 1975. It was my very first live concert and since I was about eleven the memory has stayed with me since. I ordered the DTS version as I prefer this sound format over Dolby Digital, but I must say that the DTS version is terrible. It sound like Roger Taylor is playing a toy set of drums. There is hardly any surround sound coming from the rears, just a very thin crowd sound. It is the worst soundtrack I have ever heard, there is no depth at all to it and I would hazard a guess that it has been encoded wrong. The Dolby Digital version on the disc is better, but as I opted specifically for the DTS version it seems a bit pointless. This is a real shame as the video quality is fantastic and..apart from the crowd being a little apathetic in places,the show is really great. If DTS had put a ounce of the dedication that Freddie put into his shows then we would have had something special to remember the band by.

Summary: Dont hold your breath for DTS
Review: I had this disc shipped to me TWICE ....Both times I asked for DTS, and both times they shipped me Dolby Digital. I have seen this elsewhere, but again, not in DTS. I am wondering if it exists. Queens fans will want this one despite the trouble.

Review: The DVD that I received ordered from this page was NOT DTS.
This is the main reason I bought it. Overall the DVD was ok but no comparison to professional DVD recordings by Styx or The Eagles.

Summary: The new special edition rocks!
Review: First off, the packaging is new. Instead of that generic silhouette of Freddie, the new DVD has a very nice shot of the band on stage.The tracklisting is identical to the previous DVD release.Putting in the disc we see a nice animated menu with Queen playing in the background. Starting off with the video/audio presentation...The film is presented in anamorphic widescreen finally giving fans the chance to see the film in it's intended ratio. Afterall, the film was originally shot for an IMAX type show on a 5 story tall screen.This is a completely NEW video transfer, this time in high-definition. The differences between this DVD and all previous home video releases are very noticable. The new DVD shows so much more detail, the clarity in some shots was stunning. It also gave much more depth to the lighting Queen used on stage. All specs of dirt, scratches, hair, etc were removed. This is the BEST "We Will Rock You" has ever looked.The audio is a new Dolby Digital 5.1 mix and again, it's something to behold. You will never hear a better sounding Brian May guitar solo, the mix is that good. (There is also a seperate DTS release of the disc for those that have DTS receivers.)Concerning the extras, there is a informative audio commentary track by the film's director, Saul Swimmer. He shares plenty of anecdotes such as how the members of Queen insisted on screening the film seperate from each other, that Roger poked fun at the way Freddie held his hands at the piano and how Brian basically ignored all the cameras insisting that his performance was for the fans at the concert and nothing else. One odd thing Swimmer said was calling Queen a "cult band". They were coming off their biggest success ever in North America at the time and that equals cult status?There is an extremely easy Queen trivia quiz to play (though there are some mistakes as calling "The Loser in the End" simply "The Loser" but these are minor quibbles.)Also included are bios of the band and for each seperate member. You can also check out a Queen discography, complete with album covers, tracklistings and how they did in the charts (they only refered to the UK charts for some reason.)Then there is a virtual tour of Queen landmarks in England where you take a subway to each location (such as Kensington Market, the Queen fan club, etc) all the while hearing subway announcements like 'please watch your step' which made it fun.All in all this is a no-brainer purchase, even if you own the previously released DVD. The new widescreen hi-def transfer and audio mix is worth it alone.
