to sit around and watch all 33 song videos on queen: greatest video hits, complete with audio commentary from guitarist brian may and drummer roger talyor, is to think of nothing but queen for several days. this throws off one' s musical equilibrium .

queen: greatest video hits, much like the tidal wave of queen compilations that hit the market after freddie mercury' s death, doesn' t offer much that hasn' t been experienced before. it' s a bit tough to evaluate this product with fresh eyes and ears since most classic glam rock fans out there are already familiar with queen' s visual components. but there' s a lot you can say about queen' s videos. a whole lot. and for the price, queen: greatest video hits' s 15 year sweep across two dvds is a pretty decent deal .

on the dvd: queen' s greatest video hits 1 reflects the limitations of pre - digital recording; much of the visual material looks tired and dated even though the original footage is now presented in 16: 9 format. closer attention has been paid to the remastering of the audio soundtrack, which includes dts 5. 1 versions of the favourites (the multi - channel audio experience of
bohemian rhapsody
is stunning). the opening menu sequence is also impressive, with state - of - the - art animation that incorporates the designs of early queen record sleeves. - - john galilee
if you are a queen fan than this is a
must have
. also, fans of the movie
highlander
should not miss out on this one. there are great interviews with queen about their involvement with the film to go along with the videos. this is a great companion piece to the volume i greatest hits. the 5. 1 sound rocks the house! !! !! !
the videos were originally filmed in tv' s classic 1. 33: 1 (4: 3) aspect ratio, however for the dvd release they were presented in hdtv' s 1. 78: 1 (16: 9) format, which resulted in the top and bottom being cropped. this angered many queen fans, since it resulted in the loss of screen information and the videos often being presented out of composition, especially in case of such music videos as
bohemian rhapsody
, which heavily relied on picture composition .

feels great to have this collection of classic music videos for the queen hits. - but who decided to leave out

, replacing them with
scandal
, princes of the universe
and
las palabras de amor
?? ? i had to buy a portugese version of
greatest flix ii
from brazil to add those videos to my collection .
this deserves five stars for so many reasons. first we have every video from this era of 1982 to 1989 from queen. they look great, they sound even better in 5. 1 dts. the commentary is entertaining sometimes. then the second disc is just as interesting as the first. videos ,
live
performances, and even an easter egg .
the 2 - disc package features more than three hours of material that has been upgraded digitally in dts 5. 1 surround sound. it contains 33 videos with added commentary from brian may and roger taylor .

the earliest video on queen: greatest video hits ,
killer queen
, is just a mimed performance from top of the pops. but over the course of the' 70s, the music video turned into an advertising tool with artists like queen leading the pack. song clips featuring the band in their current stage setup eventually saw the integration of animated doves and footage of nude bikers. and as more time passed, these clips gave way to some wildly interpretive miniature movies. some of them were tied to the film industry; the a kind of magic album and the first highlander movie ,
flash
with flash gordon and
radio ga ga
with metropolis. and with so many directors working with a band made up of four songwriters who were constantly wrestling for some album space, you kind of see it all. you see the boring (
fat bottomed girls
), the cheeky (
i want to break free
,
it' s a hard life
), the risqué (
body language
,
bicycle race
), the majestic (
who wants to live forever
), the abstract (
under pressure
) and the what - the - hell - did - i - just - watch (
the invisible man
)? and there' s plenty that don' t fit neatly into any of these categories .
i purchased this dvd hoping for high quality video and audio. i was not disappointed! the 96 / 24 dts surround sound is amazing! this issue also provides a second dvd with lots of bonus material and a nice booklet. i' m very pleased with this item !
sure, she’s always been around — usually hovering overhead, doing some sort of insane acrobatics — but has she really gotten the cultural respect she’s due? i’d say that handing her the michael jackson video vanguard award, previously given to the likes of david bowie and justin timberlake, is a step in the right direction .

takes full advantage of the legendary status of
bohemian rhapsody
, still ranked as one of the best - loved tunes of all time, and its equally legendary video. although no one can wholly explain what freddie' s lament was about, this collection includes four mini - documentaries that attempt to unlock the mystery with limited success. the original videos to favourites such as
someone to love
,
we will rock you
and
killer queen
are also included, as well as a new racier version of the video for
bicycle race
. brian may and roger taylor provide an optional audio commentary throughout, interspersed with edited interview snippets from the late freddie mercury .
i bought this because i had not seen the later queen videos and i did not know much of the music from the later 80' s. i like the videos, the video commentary from brian and roger, and disc 2 which has the making of the videos and some other background stuff. queen was perfection and majesty. you can' t help but want more .
disc 2 1. a kind of magic 2. i want it all 3. radio ga ga 4. i want to break free 5. breakthru 6. under pressure 7. scandal 8. who wants to live forever 9. the miracle 10. it’s a hard life 11. the invisible man 12. las palabras de amor 13. friends will be friends 14. body language 15. hammer to fall 16. princes of the universe 17. one vision
an equal match with queen dvd 1. the only pity is that a few of the songs transferred to tape aren' t on the dvd. i would have like to see
slightly mad
and
these are the days of our lives
also included on the dvd... .. they shouldn' t have been left off. both songs are well worth seeing as a dvd, so why were they omitted? ?? still good to watch .
unlike so many other audio commentaries where producers and artists too readily gush praise about each other, may' s and taylor' s observations are both fascinating and frank. although much of what they discuss about the making of the promos is replicated in the accompanying glossy dvd booklet, it' s illuminating to hear them chat about their dislike of dennis de vallance' s video for
fat bottomed girls
( principally because the final cut focused almost exclusively on mercury). their stories about the making of the videos also add some much - needed panache to these basic low - budget promos. for instance, their account of the making of
spread your wings
, on a freezing winter day in roger taylor' s garden, brings an added dimension to an otherwise flat video .
the same goes for the handclapping masses in
radio ga ga
. i really thought they would have more to say about
body language
, a steambath bonzanza of skin that has the distinction of being the first music video to be banned from mtv. but their collective reaction to
it' s a hard life
is pretty funny. just as the victorian set lights up, you can hear the two men moan and groan almost on cue. they open up considerably about the miracle period and which song originated from which band member (this was a time when all members put their names on the copyrights of all the songs). i learned that
breakthru
and
one vision
started as roger taylor originals and that mercury was considerably ill during the
i want it all
video shoot. he certainly fooled me .
commentary from brian may and roger taylor ranges from insightful to worthless. for example, i' ve always wondered how it was possible to get so many females to take off all of their clothes and race around a track on their bicycles in front of a camera crew (
it' s okay, ladies! you' ll be in a queen video !
). what do i learn? talyor says that they were not at the shoot that day and that it
looked like fun
. yeah, we knew that already. both men struggle for things to say on
fat bottomed girls
and
scandal
, two videos that underwhelmed them greatly. but interesting nuggets of history do get thrown in along with the mundane. for example ,
tie your mother down
was just a lyrical place holder until freddie mercury talked brian may in making that the actual title .
we are the champions
and
friends will be friends
were shot in front of a crowd of queen fans who just wanted to be a video .
but queen always fooled me. for a long time, i was happily entrenched in a night at the opera without ever having seen a video, live performance or photograph not found in an album sleeve. i didn' t need any visuals to appreciate the music, i thought it could stand on its own. so when i discovered queen' s sense of drama and flamboyance, it was a bit of an overload. but then as time passed, my personal lens matured in a way that allowed more tongues to be inserted into more cheeks. but did queen take themselves seriously some of the time or none of the time? having a dvd case that houses both
save me
and
it' s a hard life
casts more doubt on that question. but the dye has been cast - - the songs have been sung and the videos has been shot. god save the ambiguity .

a collection of pop videos, from the rockers that set the precedent for this medium .
great nostalgia trip for me. it also makes me realise that the range of material that queen came up with was amazing. how many bands could switch with ease from the epic' bohemian rhapsody' to the wonderfully eccentric' bicycle race' or from the tongue in cheek elvis parody of' crazy little thing called love' to the majestic funk rock of' another one bites the dust? from a time when talent actually meant something, queen were a one - off band and you need this dvd in your collection !
nothing wrong with the band but dvd needs major improving. firstly it needs to be re - released in original 4: 3 ratio and the soundtrack needs work. the sound goes high one minute, low then brian' s guitar blares out at full volume while freddies vocal get lost in the background. not good .
we have been queen fans for years. we have the tape versions of these live / studio recordings of their making of videos of heir work. we have watched both dvds but wish some not on the tape recordings were actually had been includes. not amazon' s fault. well worth watching if you are a queen fan .
great, preferred queen in the earlier days and this dvd fits the bill wonderfully .
the quality wasn’t quite as i’d expected, but it was fast delivery. thank you .
fast delivery, item as described, fantastic dvd, enjoyed it from beginning to end. would recommend this seller. 100% .

i buy lots of goods for my brother - in - law who refuses to buy from the internet but gets me to do the job for him. he bought this to replace a vhs version and likes it just as much. good delivery time and secure packaging. he' s very pleased .
did not have all the tracks that i was expecting. but still a good dvd
queen was never a shy band. this makes them a perfect candidate for this double dvd package of music videos .
much like pink floyd, i' ve always found queen to be one of those musical acts that operated inside of a decade that didn' t really exist for their contemporaries. sure, there are elements of their sound (and dress) that pin them to the' 70s and' 80s. you' d have to be both blind and deaf to not notice that. but somehow, they conjured up a whole other aesthetic that was timely, timeless, dated and wholly unknown - - sometimes all in one song. any group that idiosyncratic had to have a visual element to match, something that could really cram the
glam
into glam rock .
videos were not a new thing when queen were hitting their artistic and commercial stride in the mid' 70s. people had years to get used to the bizarre pairings of popular song with abstract and conceptual images .
strawberry fields forever
and
penny lane
are prominent examples of what was then known as
song clips
or
film clips
. live footage or lip - synced sound checks were often the formats of choice back in the early' 70s. it was probably cheaper and required less thought, freeing up musicians and labelmen to focus on more pressing matters such as making then selling the music .
there are directors who pop up more than just a few times on this collection, like david mallet and rudi dolezal with hannes rossacher. mallet in particular has quite the diverse portfolio going for himself just from queen videos alone. there' s the metropolis homage of
radio ga ga
, complete with the original sets from the film, the coronation street - meets - drag - meets - pagan ballet mashup on
i want to break free
, queen' s 1984 stage setup accompanying
hammer to fall
and a miniature stage to give the non - touring chapter of queen' s career a chance to play under the big lights once again on
i want it all
.
dolezal and rossacher are all over the later years by lighting candles for
who wants to live forever
, making a mock newspaper stage for the band to lip - sync on for
scandal
, some genuine crowd interaction for
friends will be friends
, less - than - genuine rehearsal footage for
one vision
, a train smashing through a brick wall on
breakthru
and some kid in a ball cap using his computer joystick to zap the band members as their silhouettes dance around in a house cutaway - - only to magically appear in his room, totally jamming away. bruce gowers was asked to roll film for the two biggest singles from a night at the opera ,
bohemian rhapsody
and
you' re my best friend
, and his touch is a light one .
even with the grandiose operatic gestures pelting the middle of the former, gowers doesn' t take liberties with the songs the way freddie mercury did with vocal overdubs. daniela green was just happy to move a camera around the stage during queen' s soundtrack for
another one bites the dust
and rock flicks found it perfectly suitable for the members to drag all of their gear into the snow and pretend to play
