DVD Talk review of 'Queen: Rock Montreal & Live Aid' (Blu-ray)

I read Daniel Hirshleifer's DVD review of Queen: Rock Montreal & Live Aid at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=31932 and...

The fast version of "We Will Rock You" *was* recorded in the studio for the BBC back in 1977 contrary to what the reviewer seemed to be saying.

and as for this:

Live Aid Performance: The cover of the disc actually says "Queen Rock Montreal & Live Aid," but I don't see how the Live Aid footage can possibly be considered part of the main feature. Why do I say that? Well, for one thing, it's in standard definition that's so bad you can actually see phase lines, as if someone recorded the performance on video tape off of a television.
As I understood it, those lines were caused by interference from the speakers because the cameras were so close and the music was so loud.

I will make a note of that in the review, thank you.

Was the studio recording of the fast version of "We Will Rock You" live in the studio or a proper polished recording?

There was most definitely a finished recording of the fast version (or a "polished one" as you refer above).
