- This video is a comparison between 2 releases of Queen's Montreal 1981 concerts.
The footage was wonderfully remastered in 2001 and released as "We Will Rock You" on DVD. For some strange reason it was remastered in 2007 again and released by Eagle Rock on both DVD and Bluray.
While I must admit the new 2007 release has much better audio mix, the colours on the new release are horrible. HORRIBLE.I have created this comparison video after reading some discussions on www.queenzone.com - on the top part of the screen you can see the original 2001 version, on the bottom you can see the new "remastered" 2007 version. Judge yourself.
I am sharing only random parts of the footage, as this is meant to be an "educational" video and not a pirate release, but if you want to see a specific song let me know in the comments and I'll try to upload it. - Hudba

11:10 WOW! It's a BIG difference!
And I choose 2001 edition "We Will Rock You".
I think Get Down Make Love and I'm In Love With My Car looks better in We Will Rock You, but overall I'd prefer Rock Montreal.
Yet at 10:10 there's a BIG difference IN FAVOR of the 2007 version.
@@maciejkowalski2759 6:19 LMFAO.
I also love how Saul Swimmer's name is barely on screen before it fades out again haha
If you want to see the complete concert, BUT IT! ;)
Nice video.
I see that proofreading is a good idea :)
Saw this tour in Omaha when I was 7. I had every Queen album and my mom took me. It was general admission so we were there at about 11 AM. I'd waited all day to see Freddie Mercury and I distinctly remember hearing that "drone" keyboard sound that you hear in this video at 1:00...it was so dramatic like going uphill at the beginning of a roller coaster. Except at our show they started with "Jailhouse Rock" and *then* went into the fast version of "We Will Rock You" :)
intersting. I really envy you, would have loved to see Queen in concert, and that one in particular. His voice was at his peak here
Version 2007 looks like all the lights dropped dead and only yellow left to work. Sometimes, green light starts working again and yellow drops dead.
I like 2001 version more. They should correct it only when they were showing crowd. There we can see them.
because the we will rock you dvd (2001) has a lot overdubs, so queen remastered it and remove some overdubs and added pitch correction
At first the upper video quality looked much better, but look during Killer Queen - the 2007 picture is much more sharp and better lit. Then, during I'm In Love With My Car, when the lights change and focus goes on Roger - the 2001 looks better again.
2001 version the Audio so RAW to me
2007 version the Video so fucked up to me
We need 2001 version with 2007 Audio for this ASAP
If somebody redid the intro with new credits and remade the NIH intro it'd be perfect.
What is the 2007's love for yellow all about? Yellow is the prime color in the 2007 one...
Wonder if this Live Concert in 2001 Colours and 2007 Audio Mix
I have the 'new' editon included in a 4-concert-box from last year or so. It doesn't have weird voices when freddie doesn't move his mouth :)
Yea at they least added Freddie vocals in from the correct night on the 2007 release
@@jat13In the 2001 version, the error of Freddie not moving was already corrected. The mouth on kiler Queen It's from previous editions like VHS Laserdisc
I used to have this on video in the late 80s .I could swear that Freddie's voice could be heard while his lips were not moving from time to time on certain songs, I'm not for one minute suggesting he was lip syncing must have been something to do with the edit.
Sorry I've just watched the video in full and that explains the mystery to my comment above.
Killer Queen you could literally see Freddie close his mouth but still hear vocals. They mixed and matched footage from both concerts and did it rather poorly
@@drimmie Actually Killer Queen is from the same night, there was a video editing on the old release it's still from the second night, you might ask for evidence and I'll provide it, on the first night Freddie had a towel on the left side of the piano which he didn't on the second night, and also the cups remain in the same position, two big cups in the front and 2 small at the back.
IMHO the worst thing about the 2007 release is not even the colors (I can pretend they are due to the lighting). It's the terrible contrast. In many places, the shadows seem heavily lifted while the highlights are pushed down. Often, I feel like I am watching a video with a "log/flat" image profile. Not to mention that it's very inconsistent.
I am really puzzled as to how the 2007 release was deemed production quality. I realised something was off literally the first seconds of the first low resolution clip I saw on CZcams (before I even saw the Blu-ray). Very disappointing considering they had the original camera negative, which is literally the best source you can have. At least the audio is great, which is probably the most important for a concert film.
I got this concert in VHS y a not so good tape XD, many years before 2001 or 2007, so both version are ok for me
Freddie's bad note on "Love Of My Life" ending was fixed in 2007 version. Makes sense, but is it called remastering then?))
genius8086 Is the same case in the A Night At The Odeon in Liar, after the solo bass there was a mistake by Mercury or Roger and they corrected, but it's something stupid
Great video! Thanks a lot; I have both versions, so now I can compare without prejudice!
+roberto soto You're welcome
I owned this video and there was another error in "Killer Queen" I noticed where audio of Freddie singing was heard but his lips didn't move and it obviously wasn't sung. That makes perfect sense that they used audio from different nights sometimes
So you had an older version than this because in the 2001 version this was already corrected
this looks so much like a movie
"We will rock you" or "Queen Rock Montreal"?
both do

Well the concert were shot on film :)
I have one DVD released before 2001(the one before digital restoration), you can even find
film grain pattern in it!!
Was there a pre-2001 DVD release? I thought it was just released on VHS several times before the 2001 release
@@pittrek81 a 1999 version
Yes! I loved the 1997/1998 version because I had previously only seen the 1992 VHS version. Then the 2001 version came out and it was THX remastered. The 2001 version was a MAJOR upgrade from the 1997/1998 version and I remember being so super excited.
@@pittrek81 www.discogs.com/Queen-We-Will-Rock-You-Commemorative-Release/release/13443482 It was released on Laserdisc and DVD in 1997, then DVD in 1998 and 1999. I think it was Queen's first commercially available DVD.
10:34 Brian's bad notes are on we will rock you but not on rock Montreal
Yes, the audio comes from WWRY
And Roger didn't hit the cymbal
Pale Freddie aged 6 years between the two releases ;)
I'm in love with my car is so different between both concerts, that actually are the same. That's why I love the Rock Montreal version, the audio mix in WWRY is horrible
looks like a scen from the matrix , greenish image :p
Both of them are wrongly edited. The cuts on the 2007 one are better and line up more naturally. But both of them are wrongly color corrected. The 2001 one is better but is too green at times, and the 2007 one loves the color 'golden' yellow too much... They have not gotten it perfect yet.
But the 2007 is more clean, but the 2001 is better and mpre concistent at points and not overdoing the yellow
2001 hrs best version
2007 looks more natural.
@@italolema LMAO
N0
HELL NAH
0:55 ah yes because f comes before b and j comes before b
7:01 song name?
thanks :D
Play the game:v
Uh no...band names alphabetically...meh...John Deacon's name was listed first for obvious reasons...
2001 looks way better... 2007 sounds way better. There should be a fan edition with both... 2007 is so yellowish
As it happens, I'm working on making 2007 look much better. Extensive colour correction going through each scene.. But will be worth it :)
@@ChiefMouse What happend to the project? Did you scrap it, or did you finish it?
