Very true regarding the regionality of hits. I also agree that Vol. 3 should be great. It's due sometime this year.
Speaking of Queen reunions (which as been going around for years with usually George Michael or Robbie Williams rumored to be fronting them), what's up with John Deacon these days? It seems like May and Taylor are joined at the hip, but I never see John taking part of any of the get togethers. On the DVD, May speaks well of Deacon.
Shame as he's a great bass player and wrote some of their best songs.

Christopher,
Whether or not Vol. 2 is hit-heavy would be a question for where in the
world you're actually located, as North America virtually forgot Queen after
"Hot Space" was a relative flop while they remained huge elsewhere. I'm
waiting for Vol. 3 - some of my favorites will be there, including the
incredible material from "Innuendo." Freddie may have been slowly dying,
but you'd never know from the sheer range of his vocal performances...wow.
However, I will definitely agree on the audio quality on both sets, and the
doc piece with Brian May isolating tracks of "Bohemian" for display is
revelatory and enlightening.
Brioohs
BTW, there's a false rumor going around about Justin Hawkins from The
Darkness fronting Queen for a reunion...Brian May has already denied it.
