I had decided to buy this DVD after I watched the "Making of A Night at the Opera" on VH1 classic albums channel. If you are a true Queen fan, please buy this DVD. You will not be sorry. It is very well done and has lengthy interviews with Brian May and Roger Taylor. This is not a shoddy, slapped together video of Queen performing or shots of them recording "A Night at the Opera". May and Taylor tell WHY they made the album. The reason surprised me. This DVD is very poignant and bitter sweet. I laughed at some of the recollections May and Taylor had and my wife cried when they talked about Freddie. You will learn from this DVD just what good friends the men in the band called Queen were.
This is another great installment of the classic album series. It was worth every penny and I would recomend it. I would have liked to see more on the technical aspect of using 2 and 3 multi track machines. It is only touched on briefly. Be sure to check out the bonus material that is included. As with the other albums in this series, the parts they cut out for tv are some of the best material. I enjoyed seeing Queen with Groucho Marx. That's something you won't see every day!
This gives insight into the making of Night at the Opera. It is a complete documentary that goes into great detail with Brian May and Roger Taylor telling their personal stories during the making of this great album!
