◆ QUEEN / MAGIC YEARS THE COMPLETE SET (3DVDR) この商品はこちらから
1987年にオフィシャルVHSでリリースされた『THE MAGIC YEARS』をを、マスター映像よりダイレクトにデジタル変換しDVD化したタイトルがここに。
本タイトルは、結成前からフレディ最後のツアーとなった「MAGIC TOUR 1986」までを、振り返ったアンソロジー作品で、1987年にオフィシャルVHSで『VOL.1』から『VOL.3』の3作に分かれてリリースされたもの。但しそれ以降一切DVD化されることもなく廃盤となっていた中、今回その極上クオリティーのVHSから精緻にデジタル変換しDVD化したもので、トータル3時間にわたり、マスター・クオリティーにて収録。
そしてこの貴重なアンソロジー作品は、各種のライヴ・シーンにメンバー、関係者、ファンのコメントが入るという、まさにバンド・ヒストリー的な作品で、メンバー以外にもボブ・ゲルドフやプロデューサーのロイ・トーマス・ベイカーを筆頭に、メンバーの家族やエンジニアたちが裏側を赤裸々に語るシーンも。そしてアーティスト・サイドからはエルトン・ジョン、ポール・マッカートニー、ロッド・スチュワート、ミック・ジャガー、キース・リチャーズ、ジェフ・ベック、ロジャー・ダルトリー、デヴィッド・ボウイをはじめとした、名だたるミュージシャンが他にも続々と登場。
そしてもちろん内容も濃いもので、名曲の誕生秘話からツアーの乱痴気騒ぎ、メンバー同士の一触即発な喧嘩寸前シーンなども織り交ぜており、まず『VOL.1』は結成の経緯から「A NIGHT AT THE OPERA」でのブレイクまでと、「One Vision」の制作風景を収録。
続く『VOL.2』は、初めて彼らを見出した1975年初来日から、世界の大スターに飛躍していく姿を描いたもので、初来日の武道館公演を始めとして、ここでも貴重なライヴ・ショットが盛りだくさん。
そして最後の『VOL.3』は、奇跡の復活となった“LIVE AID”に始まり、フレディ最後の“MAGIC TOUR 1986”までを描いたロード・ムービーとなっており、これらすべて、今となってはフレディ追悼の意も込めた貴重な映像アイテムゆえ、ファンは必見の、トータル175分。
