Story Synopsis:
Queen fans will have a “Sheer Heart Attack” when they get the We Will Rock You DVD. You see, there’s this “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” and Queen fans LOVE Queen. Enjoy definitive performances of all of your favorite songs like “Under Pressure,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Are The Champions,” and “Another One Bites The Dust.” (Suzanne Hodges)
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced widescreen DVD (no indication on jackets) takes the viewer back to 1982, with vivid images that are sharp and nicely detailed, though sometimes the picture appears slightly smeared. Colors are nicely saturated and well balanced. The picture is incredibly smooth and clean, with no distracting artifacts. There is infrequent shimmering noticed in the finer details. Originally shot for MobileVision special venue presentation on massive 60' x 80' screens, the images have been carefully reframed in 1.78:1 widescreen. (Suzanne Hodges)
Soundtrack:
The 5.1-channel remastered soundtracks deliver an engrossing sonic experience, with consistent, heightened utilization of the spatial soundstage. Fidelity is rather respectable, considering the age of the original recording. The surrounds are prominent throughout, and sub-25Hz activity can be noticed, an apparent result of enhancing the low-end. The .1 LFE is certainly active for this soundtrack. This audio presentation is commendable for offering the aggressive, loud nature of a Queen concert, while not sounding overly bright or strident. The DTS® Digital Surround™ version sounds a little more refined in terms of midrange tonality, but the Dolby® Digital audio just slightly excels in the low-end. Both soundtracks are sure to delight and entertain fans of Queen with a new dimension of this concert recording in surround sound. (Perry Sun)
