The Reviewers on this DVD present the listeners with a wealth of their knowledge regarding QUEEN. It is more than just interesting and informing. The Band looks at their best, they sound great as always, and the films of the Band are sharp and well done.

As always, everyone in our world is a critic. However...I wouldn't part with this DVD of QUEEN. It's a treasure! I look forward to receiving the 2nd of this DVD set from Amazon.

I thought, being a huge Queen fan, that I would be bored because I knew everything there is to know about the band. But, I was pleasantly surprised from footage, interviews and information that even I didn't know. It would make a Queen fan very happy, indeed.

Man, this dvd sucked. I thought it'd listen to the reviews given by amazon buyers. But boy was I wrong! This is the worst dvd ever! These are only opinions. Some of the dates for the albums are wrong and nothing is accurate. Except for the OBVIOUS stuff. So do not buy this!(...). (...) When will they release a REAL, Queen documentary?

I like the demos by one of the presenters that showed some of Brian's guitar "tricks", but the rest was ho-hum.

Not your normal look at the life of the band but more a focus on their music. A group of well known artists and music insiders basically review the bands music and analyse it, mainly the 1970s. The film also includes some great early footage of Queen and has some fantastic interview clips from that time. I enjoyed this film immensely and would recommend it to any Queen fan!!

This is one of the nerdiest music critique DVD's ever. If you want to see and listen to a group of unabashed Queen lovers talk about the early Queen albums/songs, this DVD is for you. If you want to see early concert footage, look elsewhere. The concert footage of portions of "Keep Yourself Alive" and "Stone Cold Crazy" is the best 5 minutes of the DVD. Other footage is mostly dubbed over with the studio recording, and all footage is constantly interupted by the bantering Queen lovers. The guitar guy is pretty interesting, but overall I would say get together with your old Queen listening buddies and reminisce, it's cheaper.

I found this quite entertaining...it gives a "critic's eye" view of Queen...step by step. Very illuminating!
