Queen: 1975-12-24 London, England (Pro Shot DVD)

This is an excellent Christmas Eve concert from Queen in 1975.  I have two copies of this show, one with slightly better video but a lot of snap, crackle, & pop in the audio, and this one that has great video still but much better audio too.

I haven't watched this DVD in so long I cannot remember a lot about it.  I'm going to put it in the Blu-Ray player and let it play as I get prepared for some company coming by in a little while.  If I see or hear anything noteworthy, I'll update this web posting and let you know.  But from everything I can see and from what I do recall from the past; this is a great recording of a great Queen show!

I decided to watch this DVD as I was uploading it just now.  And all I have to say is WOWOW!  OK, that's the name of the Japanese TV program airing the concert too.  But this is a great quality show and DVD.

This concert, from Christmas Eve 1975, is a high energy, rock and roll show.  I turned up my subwoofer and the input to it 2 db since the bass is OK but needs some amplification to be much better.  While I could do without Freddie Mercury dancing in silk shorts to the final encore medley songs like "Jailhouse Rock"; I have to admit Brian May (guitar) and John Deacon (bass) really get down and rock.  This is a great show and it is a really good view into what made Queen one of the most popular rock 'n' roll bands of yesteryear (and still today)!

I hope you enjoy this time capsule from 1975 ...
