Comments:	Again a bootleg release containing songs taken from the official VHS video release from 1985, "Live In Rio". Good music, but really an LP for completists. Queen played two concerts at the 'Rock In Rio' festival in Rio De Janeiro in January 1985. Both were filmed. Later that year a 60 minute VHS video was officially released, containing a mix of both concerts. So far, this VHS is really the only official thing that has been released by QUEEN from those concerts, well with the exception of an instrumental jam called 'Rock In Rio Blues' which ended up on the b-side of a single. That instrumental track is not on the VHS video. 'Hammer To Fall' is available on a 12inch 'officially promo vinyl. In recent years this VHS video has also been officially released on laser disc and DVD. The DVD is included in a 3 DVD box set along with 2 other live concerts by Queen. These Laser Discs are available in several editions. The content is the same as the VHS video on all releases. So far, no official vinyl or CD releases have been released from these two concerts. However, numerous bootlegs are available, both on vinyl and CD, as well as on DVD. This vinyl release is available on various color vinyl. I know on GOLD and RED splatted vinyl, but other colors might be available. Also available as PICTURE DISC. Be aware that the tracks on this vinyl are the same as some previous vinyl's of Rock In Rio 1LP. Whether this is a new pressing or a copy is unclear. I do not have all the editions. Pre-order price from £ 16.99 to £ 20.83
Roots:	From the officially released VHS video (1985) 'Live In Rio'.
