This is version two of my Earl's Court video remaster. I started from scratch again and matched to nearly ALL the high quality bits we have (some official clips that have heavy artificial color grading weren't made as extreme). I also realized that on V1 the frame rate got botched somewhere down the line, this time around isn't the case. I also switched the audio to use the VCD audio, and from there I did some EQing, added some slight reverb (new engine not used in any of my remasters), and tamed the harsh S's with slight de-esser.

Uploaded in 4k to preserve quality as much as possible. Youtube's new "enhanced bitrate" feature they added (which I hope is an option for this video) unfortunately cut the bitrate of standard youtube videos by a noticeable amount, my guess is by like 1/4th or 1/5th. I highly recommend you download the lossless version if you're a fan of the show, as the difference is night and day:

A LOT of work was put into this video.
The base uses Chief Mouse's 2018 remaster, but I had only a couple issues with it. The first issue was that there is a weird dithering/screen door effect that although added texture, didn't seem necessary. The second issue was that much like some of the other bootlegs of the show, the video was very oversharpened, adding a black halo around any edges. Those two aspects of the remaster made it noticeably different compared to officially released and bootleg show content.

So first, I used a very light layer of AI to process out the dithering effect as well as the oversharpening. As controversial as this sounds, I tweaked the settings to make sure it didn't completely fabricate any overly sharp edges or extra details that weren't there originally, which many people using AI for video typically do (in turn ruining the video). I only targeted the dithering and oversharpening which resulted in the quality being increased significantly. My main goal was to make the quality comparable to the masters, which are a pretty clean 480p (or 525i).

After that, I did SEVERAL layers of color correction to the video. I initially ended up with 17 different layers. I then quickly realized that of the several officially released clips from the show, a single color correction can't match them all -- although I got very close. To combat that, I constantly changed the color correction settings throughout the show. It should pretty much match every piece of officially released content currently known, except for clearly color graded clips like Death On Two Legs. I also used other tools with Final Cut Pro X to help out with the tape quality.

I didn't merge any of the official clips with the show, I just wanted to restore the video feed itself.

I saw them and in the middle of the concert I left my seat to take pictures of Freddy somehow he saw me and being the great master of stage he started posing for me! I was beside myself.. I never got those pictures developed! One of the best bands ever!! ❤❤❤❤❤rock on!!! 😎🎤

[dvdfrnzwbr]

There was a time before We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, and Another One Bites The Dust. Amazing

[CrimsonSunday]

That`s indestructible virtuosity. Queen lives on!

[John-etyl]

I was at this very same concert. My second ever concert, the first being Queen at Hyde Park 18 Sept 1976 👑

[MichaelSmith-igbw]

Yup. Queen rocked out live. Saw this tour in November when they played the states, Thin Lizzy was the support band. 46 years ago! You always remember the really good shows.

Los vi en Barcelona, tengo 62 años y estaba a punto de marchar a la "mili", el Fredy se salió, tremendo espectáculo, grandioso juego de luces, jamás olvidaré ese concierto en primera fila, toque a Fredy en la pantorrilla cuando corría a lo largo del escenario, me miró y sonrió, JAMÁS LO OLVIDARÉ, fantástico...

[ramjam]

This is by far the best version of this concert I have seen. Thank you!

[feistybastard]

Brian May is wearing THE PUFFY SHIRT!! Aye, Captain!!!!

[tomyork]

I hope this will one day get an official release on Blu Ray and DVD

[allkindsofcollecting]

This looks incredible, the best I’ve ever seen this concert looking. Thanks for the great work!! I just hope someday soon we get an official release of both nights, as I’ve heard the second night is one of Queen’s best ever gigs, as the last nights of their tours often were!

[miguelangelsenillosa]

Gracias, gracias, gracias, gracias, gracias, gracias, gracias, un millon de gracias por el concierto, desde mar del plata argentina un enorme abrazo

[salvatore.giuliani]

Absolutely great, Symphonic Lyrical Rock, I grew up with their music and I will die with it.

[Kiwiohkiwi]

ohh thank you so much for this video, you did such an amazing job. thank you!

[luiscrodrigues]

QUEEN; nasceu como rock opera, quase hard rock, excelente para dar uma pausa e continuar ouvindo rock pesado, como é o que eu gosto.

[damnitDavid]

The only time I was able to see QUEEN was on this tour but in the U.S., San Francisco at Winterland to be exact. Thank you for posting brings back many memories😍

[BigBass-xfyi]

My mind is Blown !
Thank you so much for this epic upload. Just hearing “Whiteman” and partial of the Prophet song is pure magic… What a show….

[fv]

❤ amazing John and Roger! What a classy and powerful couple🎉

[leonbrownYT]

I just kinda let this run in the background until Brian's White Queen solo came on...

[kevinkanable]

Such passion, i wish I went to one of these concerts.

[paulchesney]

Great video and your hard work is well worth it. I moved to London in '77, first concert was Peter Gabriel followed by this epic performance by Queen and then Genesis 18 days later. Great, great days!
