OMG - I think you are right :( I wondered why Killer Queen was not included in the ShowMustGoOn documentary - except for a brief flash of Adam on the sofa chaise longue. I did wonder if it were considered a little too ‘flamboyant’ for a general presentation of QAL. As also, Adam on the pink tricycle! Perhaps same applies here. I remember (I’m sure) Brian saying how wonderful Adam’s voice was on Killer Queen. I'd believe that for a TV show, maybe. But a live cd/dvd doesn't target the general public, I don't think. It's probably meant for the people who'd been to a concert and want to re-live that amazing experience, and for people who wanted to go but couldn't, who want to experience the closest thing. Not having KQ on that setlist is a real miss. It takes away one of Queen's many faces, and one that Adam does soooo good, one that injects so much fun to the show. The experience is really not complete without it, IMO.

My favorite Stone Cold Crazy is not included either. But I am fine with that. While I would have enjoyed Killer Queen (on the chaise lounge. Hated that pink suit because of the flowers, lol), I think they made some good choices. KQ mostly highlights Adam, which is great for his fans who like to see him camp it up. But this is for Queen fans as well as Adam fans and the general audience. They never do the more campy stuff in any of their tv performances either so not really a surprise it is not included. They always go with the more Rock and Roll performances. But so really happy for Adam. This is all great for him and a good representation of his talent as the replacement of an icon. Highlights Adam's voice and showmanship and how well he fronts the band. The publicity is off the charts as usual.

You’re welcome. The artwork (Hand numbered collectors print) was only 500 copies. With millions of fans around the world it’s no wonder, that this one and the limited picture vinyls are sold out. But it’s still wonderful to see! I ordered both shortly after 1 am this morning, knowing these would be fast gone. I will buy the DVD and maybe the CD later locally. But hey, why does Queen always release things at midnight UK time? Europeans are usually asleep. At least this time the announcement was announced. Such a ridiculously low number of limited items given how popular Queen is! Why do they not sell more? They are numbered Collectors items, that are more expensive than the standard ones. You can buy the black Vinyl in masses, but the picture one is special. I like that! Queen often does that. The special Picture Vinyl of the album „TheGame“ for its 40th birthday this year also only had 1980 copies. Queen limits the number you can buy. They did the same with the „You are the Champions“ CD and Single Vinyl. There are only 3000 each and it allowed everyone only to buy one. Unfortunately there have been many greedy fans, who bought one of each (CD AND vinyl), so that less than 6000 people got the chance to get one. I didn’t get to order one for instance, so I have to settle with the download. If you sell too many, these things aren’t special. And many Queen fans are older collectors, who often do have almost everything. They want the special items. 😉

The album includes the songs, which QAL has very good (or perfect) video footage of. That’s why the choices are a bit limited. Some songs haven’t been included, when they were professionally filmed or the versions hadn’t been that great. They must have reasons for not including them. As for Killer Queen: Maybe they will at some point later release the full concert in London 2018 (that one was professionally filmed for this purpose) many want to keep the concert highlights for that occasion.

I’m thrilled “Love Kills” is included. Can’t wait it to blast the album in the car.

I was having trouble with some of Pi's posts on my phone. Seem to be fine on the computer, must be the phone but they were fine this morning. Hopefully it won't keep happening!
All the publicity this is generating is absolutely fabulous. Love seeing the GMA clip. And Adam seems really excited so this is just great!

Wow!! I've waited for this CD for sooo long and I'm just thrilled to pieces that's it's finally available! I think the guys were a little scared after the Paul Rodgers thing didn't sell well, but this definitely will be a different story - - but finally, IT'S HERE!!! ( at least it will be on Oct 2). I'm so excited!! You've all mentioned songs that you wish were on the CD, and I have one too, "Too Much Love Will Kill You Every Time"! That's such a beautiful song that comes straight from Brian's heart as he was faced with that dilema so many years ago. So heart wrenching!! So beautiful, but I know there are just too many people favorites to fit even on 10 CD's!!! I ordered a shirt, too, and surely hope I don't have to stretch it to get it on, Ha!, like the last shirt I ordered. ( probably came from China - Ha!). I'm so glad for Adam!!! This CD will truly cement his spot & importance in the amazing history of Queen!!! So proud!!
