The Story Of Queen
1987 dutch TV documentary
Broadcast on Veronica TV


info:
The Story Of Queen was broadcast in 1987 on Dutch television station Veronica.
It contained interviews with all band members, official promo videos and some live
footage from Hammersmith '79.

I can't share official released material over here so I've edited out the official released footage as well as the Hammersmith '79 bits. For those who are interested: I will upload the Hammersmith '79 seperate.
(For those interested in the complete documentary: it's possible to mail me so we can do a trade.)

What remains is a collection of 13 minutes of interviews.
This footage was shot in 1984 backstage during the works tour.
Some famous Freddie Mercury quotes can be found here. For instance: Freddie tells about how he wrote "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" while having a bath and explains that "We Are The Champions" is a song for winners.

Hi, thank you very much for this share. Could you share also the Hammersmith 79 bits ? Or at least some screenshots so that I can compare it to my best version and to know if I should bother you again ? :-)

Thankyou, but can one of the moderators confirm whether it really is necessary to remove promo videos from TV broadcast material?

I can't agree. I've shared 2 torrents there, both got banned even when they didn't harm the rules in any way. The best thing was when I shared "Complete Kampuchea Concert", I asked the moderators if it's OK to share it, the response was that I can share it if I remove Now I"m Here, I did so and it got banned anyway within an hour. So sorry, I wouldn't call it a great site.

Anyway, could you please post a screenshot or 2 of the Hammersmith footage ?

Downloaded this 3 times now, file corrupt every time when unpacking. Anyone else?

I have this listed in my archives as 1986 with 46 minutes running time, is this one the same length?

thanks

That's a pitty! Anyone else who has the same problem?
This documentary is from 1987 and its original running time is 55 minutes

Well, I downloaded and unzipped the file without any problem...

I think the complete unedited documentary can be shared here. We also had the Munich 79 documentary which has some video clips.
I do not want any google ads here.

Unpacked ok on 4th attempt [img=/images/smiley/msn/confused_smile.gif][/img]

Nice quality and excellent editing - THANK YOU

I too would like to see the complete unedited program though, please upload it !!
O
Glad you like it!
The only thing the unedited program has extra is some official promo clips and Hammy 79 footage.

I shared the Hammy 79 footage in another topic. What remains is some promo clips... We all have greatest video hits 1 and 2. Right?

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem uploading the whole thing, I just don't think it's very special...
