UPDATE to this story: The blocked fan videos discussed below are now UN-blocked (TALC Vids for instance - YAY!)! (See the story we initially reported here below....)
And THANK YOU DR. BRIAN MAY yet again!!! We seriously love you!
******************************************************
It's been noted by Q+AL fans, to increasing alarm and sadness, that in the past day or so, a steadily increasing number of the high quality/HD fan videos posted on You Tube from the Queen + Adam Lambert North American Tour have been removed/blocked and are no longer viewable..
Dr. Brian May was alerted to this and is making inquiries into the matter, as he was unaware of this... (see tweets below..)...
Another reason to love Dr. Bri!
**It also needs to be noted that "Believe Digital Studios" contracted with Queen in June to manage their vids from the Tour, or so we hear... So... we'll see what happens next re the fan vids... apparently, it's **complicated**....
From BillboardBiz June 4, 2014:
"Believe Digital Studios Signs Queen........."

"Believe Digital Studios have signed Queen, Monty Python, Arab recording artist Nancy Ajram, and independent record labels Demon Music Group and Toolroom Records for a global video distribution and channel management deal. " (Read the rest of the article at the link above.)
AND..some potentially GOOD NEWS and **hope** for a Tour DVD!!! \o/
To Be Continued....

sad TALCvids said 80 videos were blocked and removed from ther youtube channel.
@Lambertlust
I hope Dr. Bri can do something about it... But the contract with "Believe Digital" certainly complicates matters apparently :(((((((((
Obviously they have signed a contract and I am not sure Brian is really aware what it contains. I don´t think he can do anything about it.
I am hoping we will get an official DVD/CD.
I'm sorry, this is a case of yet another company shooting themselves in the foot. Same thing happened with Idol and/or some other series. These people and their attorneys are so damn litigious, they think their proprietary rights are being infringed upon, and have got it wrong. The fact of the matter is, these videos are good for business. The peeps watching these vids, a ton of them will buy the concert DVD. The ones who don't buy the DVD -- do you really think that's because they feel they are oversaturated with YouTube videos? I doubt it.
I posted earlier this week that "multicam" vid of the four songs from Toronto. But there is also someone who has edited and posted multicams of entire concerts. As fun as they are for us to watch, it is THOSE that might be something that BELIEVE should be concerned about. But single-camera videos on YouTube shot by amateurs? REALLY..??
UPDATE:
I appears that the blocks put at least SOME fan videos have been LIFTED!!!!!
It seems that Dr. Brian May DOES have some clout!
AND yet ANOTHER reason to love him!!!!
And re an official DVD: YES PLEASE!!!!
Broddy, I agree that the fan-made videos along with the professional ones on YouTube really catch the attention of a broad audience who may become new fans and music buyers. It's a shame when these vids get taken down. Of course, I hope that we do get a great professional concert DVD out of all this. That goes without saying. Those fan vids are our lifeline to our shared experience. Is this done for other artists' concerts, too?
Maybe Dr. Bri will have some influence in this case, but it might be out of his hands.
glitzy, Thanks for the great news! I was still typing my post when you posted about the LIFT! Yay! Dr. Bri may have used his magic charm to help out the fans he loves. PLEASE let there be a DVD!
We'll see how this all plays out, but fingers crossed.....
Tweeted just now by TALC Vids!!!

@TALCvids
Woo Hoo!!! Our TALC HD NA Tour vids are no longer blocked!! You can view the Queen + Adam Lambert epic here: https://www.youtube.com/user/TALCvids/videos …
I had no idea this was happening , I mean with blocked vids etc.. I've been having so much trouble with my computer not playing any you tube vids lately. I'm trying to get tech help figure it out. I'd be a very, very sad fan if the vids were mostly blocked or gone!!!
I'm praying for a concert DVD......
No wonder Adam and Brian get along so well they have the same heart. Thank you Dr. May, these vids are a great source of pleasure for us all, like DRG said a way to connect.IMO the people watching the vids are those who are avid fans and would buy the DVD irregardless of the fan made vids.
Looks like all of my Queenbert tour vids are unblocked to. Fewww Thanks Bri!
Just saw short video on atop of Bri and Roger at soul airport greeting fans and signing autographs. Fans sang we will rock you to them. So sweet
I don't think adam is there yet. Hope he gets the nice greeting too.
Posting from phone. Won't let me type the city name correctly. Soul? No. Lol.
DRG
Glad the guys made it hope Adam arrives soon. I understand about phone mine hates me. I think it heard me talking about time till upgrade. I take a medicine that makes it very difficult to transfer thought , it's suppose to slow down racing thoughts and it does but it messes all kinds of stuff up. I don't have any trouble on computer but this phone won't put in certain words and I swear it miss spells on surprose.... Lol... have a great day .
Don't we all love technology :))). Thanks to Dr. May, TACLvids, and all the other PTB for making it possible for folks like me to enjoy this wonderful tour via videos. And to glitzylady for putting this out there so we could understand better. Loving this site.
Turn off autocorrect on your phones, if you are good at spelling. I use Arabic keyboard to type in Persian and I have to turn off autocorrect cause if I have it on it changes all of my Persian words to Arabic then constantly I have to go back and retype my Persian texts to my friends. Go to your phone settings to turn off autocorrect.

Thanks for the heads up, but won't help me . I used to be able to spell anything and read so fast but now I sometimes strugle to spell simple things. I hate it but I guess if turns off the tape of constant doom in my head it's worth it;)
I've been having problems getting YouTube to play, too. Esp. the audio. The video usually plays ok, but often I can't get sound. I've brought my computer in to the tech center and they've tried different things, but to no avail. So when mine doesn't work, I use our desktop computer. Wish I could figure out the problem.
DRG. Probably you need to upgrade your flash player. Here is the link to upgrade your Adobe FP:

Also you need to clear cookies and temporary files.
Hope these basic tips will help you watch YouTube on your computer.
