Brian, please, there are many Queen concerts that deserve publicity. To be remastered, but without the destruction that Queen's production company is doing. RESTORE THOSE CONCERTS WHERE FREDDIE AND THE BAND ARE AMAZING. But very few people know about it.

This raises a question actually; What is Queen's earliest full live concert on CD/Vinyl/Cassette? I'm not talking *Live Magic* or *Live At The Beeb* which has different dates and venues, I'm talking full concerts like *Montreal* and *Wembley* .
@@nickwilliams6621live at the rainbow is the oldest. But this box set has two songs from imperial college London 1970 (a year before John joined) and we know they have the whole show in pretty good quality still in the vaults.
@@nickwilliams6621 The oldest one we can hear in full is the one from Golders Green Hippodrome in Sept 73. But it's a bootleg. But if they have concerts before that date, why don't they release them? They may sound a little less tight but it's impossible for the performances to sound very bad.
There are many unboxings all over the internet but no one is as perfect as Brian's unboxings. His way to appreciate, tell and show everything is magnificent and really makes a nice salesman out of him.
What an honor to have Brian May unveiling the Queen 1 Super Deluxe Edition Box Set. It doesn't get much better than that. Thank you, Brian, for sharing this treasure pieces of music with the world. Cheers from Indiana 👍.
I have to say our copy of the full deluxe set arrived last Friday and what a treat it was! My wife and I both born in '63 and in school together had a wondrous weekend listening to the viny albums (picture disc as well) but also the 6 CDs. We absolutely loved it all, especially the original promo disc. It was expensive, but for the joy and memories it brought - priceless. thank you
I'm only 16 but I still love the history and music of Queen because Queen is not only music but more than that it's a lifestyle. these songs helped me in difficult moments of my life thank you to Queen.
Same, as a teenager I swear they saved my life when everything looked bleak I'd turn to them. Chin up young man, music is an amazing source of power to help us through our darkest moments. Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath were another major helping factor through tough times.
I could be having a bad day and Queen came on the radio and was in a great mood again, You can really hear and understand what they sang and it was true. Life History💯💪
They probably have master soundboard tapes of both of those though. Plus, they probably have original video tapes of it as well. It wouldn’t be multitracked but it would still be superior sound quality to what we already have.
I love how Brian presented this, not trying to force anyone into it, just trying to say, “here’s a whole ton of awesome stuff, remixed and remastered to make it sound just like it did when we were in the studio, if you want it, awesome, if not, thanks for being a fan”. Also, “Deacy looking, very Deacy” at 6:23 was a funny moment for sure.
Brian is being a bit disingenuous there with the 'as it was heard in the studio' comment. There was no pitch-correction applied to Freddie's vocals at the time, what you hear on the original mix is how he naturally sang it.
@@fordy701 I know, I was just getting at the fact that audio quality in 1973 isn’t as good as it is now, so it’s like trying to bring back just what it would’ve sounded like if you were there.
I have the original Queen 1 as you call it, an early pressing , it's been played very loud many times, Freddie doesn't need his voice improving, it was perfect.
Remasters and commemorative albums are so common now, but for some reason, this (the box set and this video) really touched me. Seeing Brian open and look through all the pieces somehow felt so much more personal and immediate than the typical "unboxing" video. I should add that I am about the same age as the members of Queen, so I was also connecting to personal experiences from then. But still, this feels so special to me. I don't have a turntable any more and my son has all my vinyl, but I think I'm going to have to get this. It's too precious to let it go.
Absolutely love watching & listening to Sir Brian when he opens box sets. He describes everything that comes within the set. .plus, he is like a "kid " at Christmas time opening gifts.❤🎸🎶💕
No matter how people end up feeling about the remix, I think it’s nice that it still brings attention to the first album. Probably the most underrated debut album in rock history.
You will like this: I have not heard it! I just hate the software, what it did to music, what it did to artists, to the general appreciation of the voice as an instrument, what it did to my kids who think the crap they listen to is actually sung! It was just not necessary!
I pre-ordered and don't regret it. Finally getting Hangman, clever move, was part of it, and the first listen will determine if I ever do again. But it's Queen's first album, and that's so very special. I know there are other creations in the vault that I wish Brian and Roger would bestow upon us, as they exist, without "improvement." No improvement is necessary. We want Queen's music "as is," and Freddie's unadulterated tones in all their glory!
the band drawing(?) in the background made my heart clench, in a good way. Brian's voice is so incredibly pleasant btw, i feel like i could listen to it all day long..
Dr. Bri , thank you for this work. Queen I is a masterpiece and really needed to be brought again to light, as well as the band history of that period!
Auto tuned Freddie is just not right, you lose the sweet , young , undeveloped Freddie of 1973, so full of hope and ambition and emotion, you can’t fix what ain’t broken ! We still love you Freddie
This is sheer happiness to me. I watched this with a stupid smile on my face. Thank you Brian for such a wonderful release. I hope all albuns get the same treatment. Long Live Queen
Absolutely! I “discovered” QUEEN the day this album was released in the U.S. The record store was playing Queen (1) when I walked in, it had Just been released. I bought it, and instantly Loved them! Hope “Queen ll” and “Sheer Heart Attack” get box sets too.
@@CB-kj6xw I got to see the Sheer Heart Attack concert too! Tiny little venue in Santa Monica California. I was 16 years old… best concert I’ve EVER seen. I saw Led Zeppelin a few months earlier (excellent show), then my next show was Queen! I still say to this day, Queen was better than Zeppelin (and I’m a huge Zep fan). Just being honest, the Queen concert in 1975 is still the best show I’ve EVER been to. Freddy was pure Glam rock then, he tore it up on stage, my god… Brian May’s guitar work So unique:Genius! Freddy had these gold winged-slippers he wore. They ended with a rockin’ version of “Hey Big Spender!” Like a Knock-out punch, I left that show dazed, amazed, and gobsmacked. I feel blessed to have attended, and to have seen them before they’d really hit in America. One year after, they were playing large venues, Bohemian Rhapsody was all over the radio. But I got to see them before, and I thank my lucky stars for that! Long Live Queen!!!🤴
You are very lucky to see them from where they started to where they are! I had a friend who went to that show in Santa Monica. ☺️ I really miss her, I lost contact. In fact she loved Zeppagain as well! I’m so glad you shared these great memories Earl!
Bri that picture in the background is gold. I remember going to the record shop and buying that record and then Queen 2 and all of them after that, Greatest band in the world.
So many archival concerts from the glorious past on cd, dvd and blu ray, remain unreleased... Brian, we are waiting for them. The work on Live Rainbow for example is phenomenal.
I remember the exact moment I heard Queen, Fall of 1973, I was at a US record and stereo store in Virginia Beach, Virginia, I had Roxy Music's first record in hand, and the manager dropped the needle on "Keep Yourself Alive" I just stood in stunned silence as those amazing vocals thundering drums and Bass, and ripping guitar licks pealed through the air. "WHO is this?" I asked and the manager showed me the sleeve and said "This is a band called Queen I think they're out of England. Instant purchase and I have loved this over all the other Queen records. You never forget your first time, as they say. Anyway, having downloaded the FLAC version of "Queen I" I can say unequivocally, that Brian May's description of this project as a "rebuild" of that magnificence is certainly true, I'm hearing clarity and detail I NEVER heard before. You really CAN go home again. Thanks for an amazing record, both then and now!
Wow, Brian, watching you go through this box set is so beautiful! I would love to someday own one of these. It’s such a beautiful capture of your history and a glimpse into the world of your studio recordings will be so exciting. I absolutely love the idea of the book you have included along with the vinyl and the CDs. This looks like a perfect keepsake to me!♥️🎵🥰☮️
Great stuff Brian !! Please make such BOXES for ALL Queen albums !! Immense task, but you guys have immense resources. Freddie would definitely endorse all these LUXURIOUS darling BOX SETS !!
I always loved the session CDs with the demos and early takes. I liked them on the News of the World and The Miracle Box Sets. I hope these Box Sets will continue.
These would be interesting....however, it appears from studies I've seen that ya'll have auto-tuned and likely used other electronic alterations of Freddie's voice. His voice needed NO enhancement or alterations. I can see altering EQ, or cleaning up some noise, etc...but to use AUTOTUNE on Freddie's vocals? Sacrilege.
Queen fan all my life! Why did you not object to altering Freddie's voice Brian? Why did you auto tune Freddie? Nothing is sacred anymore. Its an insult to Freddie, to mess with his voice. He isn't here to give you permission to do that. He would be horrified, I'm pretty sure about that! A huge insult to one of the greatest vocalists of all time.
Not auto-tuned exactly , 'pitch-correction' i.e. minor alterations to the vocal has been applied to every track with vocals, including Roger's. As they did with the 'Face It Alone' single. Disgraceful.
@@fordy701 I would not want pitch correction...and I don't want to hear tracks where they "fix" the beat to make it perfect timing. This kind of things SUCKS the humanity and life out of what were amazing performances. If I want to listen to "perfection" I'll just get AI to generate something.... Fixing the vocals to pitch and the beat to perfection....please, no....that has already ruined the music of today...don't steal the past and destroy it too.
@@chilecayenne I’m listening to it now on Spotify. The pitch corrections are subtle. I have the original on vinyl- first run of the American release. Queen was true to the original- tastefully and subtly done imo. On vinyl, you couldn’t really detect Freddie’s occasional pitchiness, but on CD or streaming, the pitch errors are problematic. I believe that Freddie would be fine with the tiny bits of touch-up they did here. Listening to “The Night Comes Down” right now. It sounds fabulous!!!!
Thanks to the legendary and iconic guitar player in music world to this very day Mr. Brian Harold May i bought two important things from Queen collection , 1. Freshly made Queen monopoly board game , which is the most amazing thing i dreamed to get it for a very long time , 2. Recreated 1989 Queen album The Miracle , my second favorite album from the Queen musical journey ❤❤ it's so great to see how Brian May brings and introducing Queen music in new style for the beloved fans across the world ❤❤
Wow - that's great ! I love watching you unboxing precious things... and - by the way you look great ,too !!! I hope you're doing fine and send you all my love!!! You will always be my hero, Brian - kisses and hugs ❣️ ❣️❣️ ❤️🌈❤️
Good to see ur doing better since your mild stroke Mr. May. That looks awesome that u open for us to see, collectors edition Queen 1 would love it to be in my collection someday. Thanks for sharing this. Awesome 😎
Queen did play "The Night Comes Down" live, but you guys probably didn't record that performance. The song was performed on March 10, 1972, London. Lovely boxset!
Isn't this on the Opera Omnia box set? I just looked...apparently not. I thought it was, i have it in front of me ^^ It's been a while since i've listened to it in its entirety though.
Rainbow '74 was a blessing. I've got both box sets: the 4 LP version and the CD, DVD and BluRay version. I don't regret buying them one bit. I bought the A Night At The Odeon double LP, but soon I realised that it was redundant if you have the Rainbow '74 box sets. What I truly want to see issued as a box set is a compilation of live recordings from the 75-76 tour, in which the band played many songs from A Night At The Opera... A Night At The Odeon includes only one song from that album! There's an excellent unofficial live recording from 30 January 1976 in Boston. It's like Rainbow '74 but with many songs from A Night At The Opera. It's what the band should have released after the Rainbow box set instead of A Night At The Odeon.
Looks great, but hearing the pitch correction on Freddie's voice has saved me some money! Cheers. By the way, that was a serious error of judgement. Hopefully the backlash has been noted and a lesson has been learned.
The lesson hasn't been learned because 'Queen' used pitch correction on the Breakthru collectors edition. This is purely about Sony, Brian and Roger lining their pockets.
@@RealCelticGamer Fair point. Although the backlash does seem a lot more widespread/vocal with this release. To the extent that Sony may not want to risk the sales potential of any future releases and thus caution against pitch correction. Maybe...
Please give us an update on John Deacon. I know he’s quite private, but I’d love to hear more from him on his legendary bassist career. We only have a handful of that generation around anymore. Either way, this is a wonderful album package. I hope to add it to my album collection one day. 🤘 thank you Sir Brian.
We need a live box-set with all currently released live albums included and maybe some new stuff too. The albums were released recently as subscription set in some countries (Italy, Japan) but some of these albums are still difficult or expensive to obtain. To compliment my Studio Collection and Platinum Collection Box-sets, a live Box-Set would be fantastic and actually make the collection feel complete. P.S, can't wait for my Queen I box to arrive. :-)
I'm really looking forward to hearing this. I love the idea of completely remixing old recordings like these. I truly hope that you do more of your early albums in the same way. Freddie would have loved this.
Fully agree! Much more please. I really want A KIND OF MAGIC done in the same way that the MIRACLE SESSIONS boxset were done. I want to hear QUEEN'S version of Sinatra's new York, new York.
I think it’s so beautiful the way Brian and Roger stayed true to queen after Freddie’s passing and they never forgot him. They still include Freddie in a lot of their interviews and such . I love the picture of Queen in the background . I would to have a copy of that on my wall
Thank You Brian & Queen! Love the remix! Everything is so clear, like putting on my reading glasses. Please do the same with Queen II since I consider the first two albums to be companion pieces. Great memory hearing both albums at my sister's apartment back in the early 70's & asking her about this new band Queen whom I'd never heard.
Thank you Dr Brian May. QUEEN 1 is an awesome Box Set. Beautiful and wonderful, congratulations! I'm 68 years old and be a great fan since I was 16. QUEEN FOREVER, ALWAYS ❣️
People going on about the vocals, what bothered me most is the new drum track and lack of John’s bass. I’m a sound engineer and instantly noticed the levels are weird and everything except the lead vox and very quiet bass, is panned .The modern drum sound doesn’t fit with the vintage mix, even worse the snare is way too loud and the overheads are way too quiet with a single crash on the far left side.(Also where is the phaser on the drum intro to Liar? It made it cool, now it sounds limpI Iquite like hearing the vocals clearer, but I dislike the unnecessary delay on Freddie’s voice on certain songs. One thing I really like is the bonus tracks, the cleaned up demos sound better than the 2024 album mixes, and it’s fun hearing them talk between takes.
Love queen I have 11 albums and Freddie's performance for Barcelona with Isabelle rossialini. Will purchase this cause I love u guys. Rip Freddie we know ur with these gus still in spirit.
I am so happy to see you healing and back at it. We love you Dr. May!

0:41 Brian's "So I'll probably save that and re-stick it somewhere" has just validated my whole approach to unboxing stuff! :)
We’re not the only ones😅
I also save all the stickers from the shrink wrap. It's part of the packaging.
They should have the sticker either removable or provide a spare in the package....
Mine will stay completely intact

He isn't here to give you permission to do that. He would be horrified, I'm pretty sure about that! A huge insult to one of the greatest vocalists of all time.
Not auto-tuned exactly , 'pitch-correction' i.e. minor alterations to the vocal has been applied to every track with vocals, including Roger's. As they did with the 'Face It Alone' single. Disgraceful.
@@fordy701 I would not want pitch correction...and I don't want to hear tracks where they "fix" the beat to make it perfect timing.
This kind of things SUCKS the humanity and life out of what were amazing performances.
If I want to listen to "perfection" I'll just get AI to generate something....
Fixing the vocals to pitch and the beat to perfection....please, no....that has already ruined the music of today...don't steal the past and destroy it too.
@@chilecayenne I’m listening to it now on Spotify. The pitch corrections are subtle. I have the original on vinyl- first run of the American release. Queen was true to the original- tastefully and subtly done imo.
On vinyl, you couldn’t really detect Freddie’s occasional pitchiness, but on CD or streaming, the pitch errors are problematic. I believe that Freddie would be fine with the tiny bits of touch-up they did here. Listening to “The Night Comes Down” right now. It sounds fabulous!!!!
Queen 1 was always a favourite of mine. I may have to invest in this. It looks stunning. Thanks Brian.
Knowing that Brian May properly knows how to handle a vinyl record makes me VERY happy. Thanks for the late night Serotonin, sir.
Thanks to the legendary and iconic guitar player in music world to this very day Mr. Brian Harold May i bought two important things from Queen collection , 1. Freshly made Queen monopoly board game , which is the most amazing thing i dreamed to get it for a very long time , 2. Recreated 1989 Queen album The Miracle , my second favorite album from the Queen musical journey ❤❤ it's so great to see how Brian May brings and introducing Queen music in new style for the beloved fans across the world ❤❤
Hi Sir! Great job! Long live Queen 's Rock, forever!🎉
Wow - that's great ! I love watching you unboxing precious things...
and - by the way you look great ,too !!! I hope you're doing fine and send you all my love!!! You will always be my hero, Brian - kisses and hugs ❣️ ❣️❣️ ❤️🌈❤️
It could've been better if they didn't added pitch correction. It's always the original that sounds natural and authentic.
I call BS on that because Freddie did overdubs on that for live stuff as early as 1974. If he could use pitch correction/autotune he would.
I call BS too. Just don’t buy it and leave us who aren’t so anal to enjoy it.
Thanks for sharing Brian. Queen full circle ☯️
Thank you lovely sir Bri. Very exciting.....Christmas gift to myself for sure 🤗💖
Good to see ur doing better since your mild stroke Mr. May. That looks awesome that u open for us to see, collectors edition Queen 1 would love it to be in my collection someday. Thanks for sharing this. Awesome 😎
Queen did play "The Night Comes Down" live, but you guys probably didn't record that performance. The song was performed on March 10, 1972, London. Lovely boxset!
Isn't this on the Opera Omnia box set?
I just looked...apparently not. I thought it was, i have it in front of me ^^
It's been a while since i've listened to it in its entirety though.
😢😢😢
Rainbow '74 was a blessing. I've got both box sets: the 4 LP version and the CD, DVD and BluRay version. I don't regret buying them one bit. I bought the A Night At The Odeon double LP, but soon I realised that it was redundant if you have the Rainbow '74 box sets.
What I truly want to see issued as a box set is a compilation of live recordings from the 75-76 tour, in which the band played many songs from A Night At The Opera... A Night At The Odeon includes only one song from that album! There's an excellent unofficial live recording from 30 January 1976 in Boston. It's like Rainbow '74 but with many songs from A Night At The Opera. It's what the band should have released after the Rainbow box set instead of A Night At The Odeon.
Great video, Brian! I too always save the "hype stickers" whenever I open my brand new vinyl from various bands.
thanks for sharing, Brian! Always a super inspiration!
That photo behind him tells everything!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Brian, it's a fantastic boxset. Beautifully presented the book and live stuff are the holy grail
In the 70's, I remember staring at that back cover of Queen I for hours.
Looks great, but hearing the pitch correction on Freddie's voice has saved me some money! Cheers.
By the way, that was a serious error of judgement. Hopefully the backlash has been noted and a lesson has been learned.
The lesson hasn't been learned because 'Queen' used pitch correction on the Breakthru collectors edition. This is purely about Sony, Brian and Roger lining their pockets.
@@RealCelticGamer Fair point. Although the backlash does seem a lot more widespread/vocal with this release. To the extent that Sony may not want to risk the sales potential of any future releases and thus caution against pitch correction.
Maybe...
Yeah I hate the pitch correction. It's a shame because the overall sound quality and mix is great. But that damn pitch correction. It's not subtle.
@@RealCelticGamerHow do you know what Brian and Roger want?
Please give us an update on John Deacon. I know he’s quite private, but I’d love to hear more from him on his legendary bassist career. We only have a handful of that generation around anymore. Either way, this is a wonderful album package. I hope to add it to my album collection one day. 🤘 thank you Sir Brian.
I can’t wait to get this. I love reading the making of the album and the behind the scenes stuff….so cool. Brian love the presentation. Stay well.
We need a live box-set with all currently released live albums included and maybe some new stuff too. The albums were released recently as subscription set in some countries (Italy, Japan) but some of these albums are still difficult or expensive to obtain. To compliment my Studio Collection and Platinum Collection Box-sets, a live Box-Set would be fantastic and actually make the collection feel complete.
P.S, can't wait for my Queen I box to arrive. :-)
Wow. Very beautyfull edition. Superb quality. For the real fan a must. I hope Queen II will be done the same way.
I'm really looking forward to hearing this. I love the idea of completely remixing old recordings like these. I truly hope that you do more of your early albums in the same way. Freddie would have loved this.
I love the Miracle special edition and listen to it often. I love that you started with that album. More please!
There's a NOTW special edition too! From 2017
Fully agree!
Much more please.
I really want A KIND OF MAGIC done in the same way that the MIRACLE SESSIONS boxset were done.
I want to hear QUEEN'S version of Sinatra's new York, new York.
I think it’s so beautiful the way Brian and Roger stayed true to queen after Freddie’s passing and they never forgot him. They still include Freddie in a lot of their interviews and such . I love the picture of Queen in the background . I would to have a copy of that on my wall
I particularly like the part where he says „and here is the CD version of the Vinyl“ 😎🤘👍😂
There's no unboxing quite like a Brian May unboxing. Cheers to you, good sir!
AH I love queen so much
I'm so happy for you my friend, Sir Brian, that you're recovery is spotless and you're in good spirits! Much love! ❤❤❤❤
Hello 👋
Thank You Brian & Queen! Love the remix! Everything is so clear, like putting on my reading glasses. Please do the same with Queen II since I consider the first two albums to be companion pieces. Great memory hearing both albums at my sister's apartment back in the early 70's & asking her about this new band Queen whom I'd never heard.
The first 5 Queen albums are fabulous. Queen 1 & 2 are extraordinarily good
Deacy looking Deacy! Yesssssss!
Mates become a youtube unboxer and I'm here for it lmao
This would have been an instant purchase for me, but the pitch correction on *anyone's* vocals is a deal breaker.
Nothing like ripping the soul out of a classic recording.
Thank you this is giving me a new appreciation for the first album!
AAAAHHHHH BRIII I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCHHH!!!!!
Please live forever, Brian.
Thank you Dr Brian May.
QUEEN 1 is an awesome Box Set.
Beautiful and wonderful, congratulations!
I'm 68 years old and be a great fan since I was 16.
QUEEN FOREVER, ALWAYS ❣️
Hello 👋
Who cares?
@@CowboyPants-h5p Hello 👋
Queen is literally the best
Thank you for your presentation Brian May🩵🩵
People going on about the vocals, what bothered me most is the new drum track and lack of John’s bass. I’m a sound engineer and instantly noticed the levels are weird and everything except the lead vox and very quiet bass, is panned .The modern drum sound doesn’t fit with the vintage mix, even worse the snare is way too loud and the overheads are way too quiet with a single crash on the far left side.(Also where is the phaser on the drum intro to Liar? It made it cool, now it sounds limpI Iquite like hearing the vocals clearer, but I dislike the unnecessary delay on Freddie’s voice on certain songs. One thing I really like is the bonus tracks, the cleaned up demos sound better than the 2024 album mixes, and it’s fun hearing them talk between takes.
Love queen I have 11 albums and Freddie's performance for Barcelona with Isabelle rossialini. Will purchase this cause I love u guys. Rip Freddie we know ur with these gus still in spirit.
Queen the best band for every! ❤
