Includes limited official footage of the historical masterpiece “A Night at the Opera” (currently out of print). The true identity of this work is the bonus DVD that came with the 30th anniversary edition of “A Night at the Opera”. The content is a video work that you can enjoy all the songs of the album with a viewing angle. The audio is usually 12 songs as in the album, and you can select normal stereo or 5.1ch surround. And the point is the image attached to the audio. “You’re My Best Friend” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” are basically clips as they are, but other videos are combined with old and new to make a full video work. Songs played live, such as “I’m in Love with My Car” and “Love of My Life,” are combined with stage footage to create a live clip style, and songs that cannot be done are songs. Visualized with pseudo-clips and slide shows of member photos with historical images in line with the image of. Of course, even if it is a slide show, it is a professional production, so the assembly according to the rhythm and the tune is wonderful, and it is not a shabby thing like an amateur Youtube video, but it is just something that you can enjoy carefully as a video work.
The video version of “A Night at the Opera” is even more delicious with audio commentary. You can listen to the interviews of the members on all the songs, and you can enjoy the contents vividly with Japanese subtitles. However, there is a little habit. For example, “I’m in Love with My Car” talks about Roger, “’39” talks about the content of the lyrics and how Brian decided to sing himself, “Seaside Rendezvous” and “Good Company” have roots, and “Bohemian Rhapsody”. In “, flowers bloom in memories about the enormous amount of work. However, that’s about each song, and in other songs, the situation of making an album, the story of the producer, the movie that was the source of the title, Red Special, the media, the compatibility between members, etc. are flowing songs. There are many stories that are not directly related to.
Probably, this is not a new comment dedicated to the 30th anniversary edition. It seems that various interviews are combined, such as the comment of John Deacon who should have already retired at that time. Of course, even so, there are lots of interesting contents. “I wanted to combine the harmony of YES with the powerful elements of ZEPPELIN.” “I thought that harmony and Brian’s guitar were the strongest weapons of QUEEN.” “We were laughing at ourselves.” , The testimony that can be told only by the people themselves will be shown one after another on the famous songs.
It is a masterpiece among the masterpieces, and the masterpiece “A Night at the Opera”. It is a video work that you can “see” all the songs. In addition, there is audio commentary by the members, so you can enjoy it over and over again.
★ A must-have version for fans with interesting original editing and content since it was produced in 2005 (just during Queen + Paul Rodgers).
