\"QueenWith the release of Queen\u2019s A Night At The Odeon – Hammersmith 1975<\/em>, the band celebrates its 40th anniversary of the group\u2019s first-ever TV appearance that, for years, has been available as a bootleg. The concert at London\u2019s Hammersmith Odeon Theater was held Dec. 24, 1975, originally airing live on BBC TV. The concert was the final show of Queen\u2019s successful tour from the U.K., U.S. to Japan. <\/p>\n

Released on CD, DVD, SD Blu-Ray, two LP vinyl, super deluxe box set and digitally via Virgin EMI, the video presentation features 17 songs, while the audio releases contain the full concert set list of 19. Great care has been taken to restore the audio and video and transfer to digital media formats. The result is a new audio mix in stereo and 5.1 surround-sound and state-of-the-art restoration of the video.<\/p>\n

At the time Queen\u2019s \u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d from the album A Night of the Opera<\/em> was No. 1 on the U.K. charts. The concert culled music from the group\u2019s first four albums: Queen<\/em>, Queen II<\/em>, Sheer Heart Attack<\/em> and A Night At The Opera<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Queen\u2019s A Night At The Odeon – Hammersmith 1975<\/em> finds the band bursting at the seams with raw, passionate energy. The band is on fire, not only showcasing its musical abilities but also delivering a stellar visual performance. Performing the band\u2019s classic songs live, Queen proves that it\u2019s not a studio-gimmick band. Mercury\u2019s voice is flawless; May\u2019s guitar soars, while Taylor and Deacon produced the low-end sonic thunder that holds the music together. <\/p>\n

The different formats include special bonus features. The super deluxe box set includes a never-before-heard recording from the pre-show sound check. The DVD and SD Blu-Ray versions feature: ‘Looking Back At The Odeon,\u2019 a brand new 22-minute documentary, featuring a previously unseen interview with Brian May and Roger Taylor; and the rare Live At The Budokan \u2013 Japan 1975 footage, featuring three songs \u201cNow I’m Here,\u201d \u201cKiller Queen\u201d and \u201cIn The Lap Of The Gods\u2026 Revisited.\u201d <\/p>\n
