The product description says "rare interviews," but they don't mean rare interviews of band members. All the interviewees are journalists, radio disc jockeys, and rock historians. It has maybe 30 seconds of an interview with Freddie about the song "I Want to Break Free," and that's it. The rest is their opinons about Queen.

Yes, there are clips of live concerts, still shots, music videos, and music, but over 75% of the footage is basically reviews by the interviewees of each album Queen produced during the time period. You can save money and get most of the same information in the DVD by reading reviews of these albums online for free.

If you just want to listen to other people talk about their thoughts on Queen, this might be the DVD for you. Otherwise... you're not missing much. Even as a huge Queen fan, I still found this boring.

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.

Very entertaining view of one of the great rock groups of all time.

Excellent for a Queen Fan/Collector. Knowledgeable commentary from quality Reviewers with great visual and magic music by the Band. Wish there was more in the future.
