Standard Screen; Soundtrack English Though they began their career practicing an artier, more theatrical variant on the Led Zeppelin hard-rock sound, Queen's 1975 album A NIGHT AT THE OPERA is where they begin to show their own unique brand of eclecticism and compositional facility--not least on the quintessential classic-rock radio staple "Bohemian Rhapsody." This program offers a critical review of the landmark album through archival footage, live performance clips, and interviews with critics, musicologists, and surviving band members. Queen - Classic Albums: Making Of A Night At The Opera Reviews: 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his is an extremely scenic ride....'Bohemian Rhapsody' is given full credence..."

Queen - Classic Albums: Making Of A Night At The Opera Video Queen - Classic Albums: Making Of A Night At The Opera Movie Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Early Queen's Excellence
Queen is the best! I don't know where I was in the 70's & 80's, but I never listened to Queen. It is 2007 and all of the sudden, I am listening day and night. I'm buying everything I can to learn more about them. This DVD interviews the people that were closest to the band when they were recording, so it's gives you some insite about how their brilliance was accomplished. I really missed out on a fabulous time. Freddie is Freddie and that's what brings it all to your heart.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful. The Ultimate Documentary of the Sgt Pepper album of the 70s!
The DVD is simply the best documentary in the Classic Album series! I have the spotlight DVDs they have done on Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, Deep Purple's Machine Head, Iron Maiden's Number of The Beast and Judas Priest's British Steel, which are all great but the Classic Album producers reached the "crown jewel" with this installment. Tons of vintage video clips and interviews as well as new interviews and commentary from Brian May, Roger Taylor, producer Roy Thomas Baker, Ian Hunter, Joe Perry from Aerosmith and Nuno Bettancourt from Extreme. The DVD is a MUST HAVE for Queen fans. This DVD and the recent 30th annivesary CD/DVD audio reissue of the album make a great audiovisual experience of what I consider to be the Sgt. Pepper album of the 1970s!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful. Inside The Opera
This is one of the best Queen DVDs I own now. Great documentary, especially the bonus features which run like a separate documentary itself. Live performances of The Prophet's Song, Sweet Lady and I'm In Love With My Car, plus videos of Bohemian Rhapsody and You're My Best Friend. No John Deacon interviews, present or archive, but we have archive Freddie Mercury (1986) and new interviews with Brian and Roger.

Boston's many fans were upset that it took the band two years to follow up its monster debut. When it arrived, the sophomore effort DON'T LOOK BACK was a virtual rewrite of BOSTON. This didn't stop the masses from snapping up the album, which ultimately racked up sales in the multi-platinum range.

Queen - Classic Albums: Making Of A Night At The Opera movie DVD
$7.59
Also available in a 3-pack with FACE THE MUSIC and DISCOVERY.
1976's A NEW WORLD RECORD is both a classic of commercial '70s pop and an archetypal ELO album. From the outer-space synths and rich orchestrations that open the album to Jeff Lynne's meticulous production and Beatlesque melodies, A NEW WORLD RECORD is magnificent ear candy. Both ambitious enough to appeal to "serious" rock fans and ultra-catchy enough to sound terrific on Top 40 radio (the plaintively gorgeous, McCartney-like "Telephone Line" and the anthemic "Livin' Thing" were well-deserved smashes), ELO was one of the few '70s bands whose appeal covered both the FM and AM spectrums. The album even resurrects "Do Ya," a classic single by Lynne's former band, the Move, in a splashy new version.
The next ELO album, 1977's elaborate double-album OUT OF THIS WORLD, was probably the band's commercial high point, but A NEW WORLD RECORD is the group's artistic high-water mark.
Jeff Lynne reportedly regards this album and its follow-up, Out of the Blue, as the high points in the band's history. One might be better off opting for A New World Record over its successor, however, as a more modest-sized creation chock full of superb songs that are produced even better. Opening with the opulently orchestrated "Tightrope," which heralds the perfect production found throughout ...

ELO was big enough by 1974 that some people actually suggested that ELDORADO featured Satanic backward-masking. Of course, the idea was ludicrous; but the band playfully responded by adding a backward message to "Fire on High," the opening instrumental ...
