correct me if I'm wrong, but the Earl `s Court in 1977 has never been shown on television.
If this so, then from where appeared this bootleg?

Hello, Greg (he will say Hello, Alex in three years on)
The delay thing, you know.
This list is true? Or it's a fake?, i read in anothers webs that Queen recorded more shows, like Empire Pool 78(Wembley Arena), Sydney 85 and a lot more.

===========================
Earls Court appeared on VHS tapes in early 90's, probably someone stole tape from Queen archives.

As promised, and as authorised by Jim Beach, and with genuine apologies for the big delay that annoyed some QZ-ers, here at last is what we have in the archive pertaining to Queen Live. It is, as I pre-warned you, not anywhere near as extensive as you might think or hope. We definitely do not, as you can see, have hundreds of recordings from the mix desk. It’s roughly 40 shows.
A fair exchange is no robbery, they say, and as I said before I am offering these details in reply to the greatly informative response many of you participated in here on QZ, so it’s only fair that we do the same, as agreed. The info you gave us was really good stuuf, a lot of it, and has provided MANY leads to follow up - not just me, but fellow fans/researchers too.
None of this info is hugely significant I'm afraid (there are no big shocks or revelations) because alas there is nothing profound in the archive… as you will probably have anticipated from knowing the content of all the products out there… Rare Live, Magic Years, Milton Keynes and Wembley DVD bonus material, etc, etc.
Bear in mind before you look at this that, yes, there are some oddments on cassettes too, from other shows – such as from 74, 77, 78, 81, 82, 84, 86, but those shows are not listed here coz there is no point in doing that. I’m talking here only about PROPER formats, not amateur stuff – poor recording we all have copies of, and have had for years. That’s why Golders Green isn’t on here, for example… because we do not have that show on a serious format - only bits of it, like you have, on cassette. We don't even have an LP, or CD or DAT. The same is true of gigs from 1978 and several other things you will probably have expected to make the list.
As I told you, the studio sessions and out-take audio archive is significantly more extensive, but thats not part of what we're discussing here, and it's not part of the 'deal'... obviously. The live recording are VERY limited, and the live footage is even MORE limited.
We have….
Argentina 81
Brazil 81
Budapest 86
Earls Court 77
Hammy Odeon 79
Hyde Park 76
Houston 77
Japan Seibu 82
Japan Tokyo 85
Japan 79 (bits)
Knebworth 86
Live Aid 85
Maine Road 86
Mannheim 86
Milton Keynes 82
Montreal 81
Munich 79
Newcastle 86
Paris 79
Rainbow 74 (March) plus some of the Nov gig
Rio 85
Slane Castle 86
Wembley 86 x 2.
Paris 97 – Queen & Elton
(some of the above tapes are 2” but most are stereo only)
Just because I wrote 'bits' after Japan 79, do not assume the rest are all FULL shows. That is NOT the case.
We also have various pieces of various shows from Europe 79 (obviously, because they were used for Live Killers) which are the ONLY things I can’t go into detail with here, because at this moment we do not know exactly what we have and what precisely is on all tapes – until we get to transfer them and work with them, which we will do sooner than later, I think.
Only when we play every tape all the way through will we know exact details. I will then discover precisely which segments were used for the Killers LP, and I’m looking forward to confirming all that stuff. It looks like we might have 13 shows represented but this does NOT mean they are entire shows, neither does it mean that what does exist will be great quality which will ALL be usable at some point. That presumption would be naive.
Most of what was discarded for Live Killers was probably left for good reasons – not least technical ones. I don’t know, none of us do, but we will soon. At the moment LK details are rather vague because we have never had reason to go into them in great detail like we did with the Freddie tapes for the 2000 ‘Solo’ box, for example. I’m talking about audio recordings only here, not footage. You guys already know what footage from this LK period exists and we do not even have all that you have seen – such as Japan 79.
Yes, I k

Hi, Gregory! how about future plans for release concerts such as Hammersmith 1975 or Rainbow 1974 and many others concerts begining of 70`s and the middle of 80`s?

Thanks for the information Greg!

Okay, so I'm not the greatest lyricist on the planet, but
seriously, this thread is actually well over 3 years, at 3.9
years and counting (since 02 Aug 2007).
A bit dusty in here. I saw a few cobwebs on the way in.
It was quite unsettling let me tell you.
So at this point, is anyone else concerned about the whereabouts
of GB - last known, presumably, to be headed back to the
archives for some checking?
Well the American team, for one, is willing to help organize & co-sponsor
a search & rescue operation .... who out there is with us?!
But then again, after 3.9 years, I guess the trail has pretty much
gone stone COLD crazy.
So forget it.

I've also heard about it. It was mentioned in the June 1989 issue of Record Collector. That'd be great to hear these gigs officially released. I heard that four gigs in London 1984 were recorded as well.

The question is:
They really record those gigs?
In video, or only in audio?
If they film those gigs, Was in crap quality, or in a proper film?
