Excellent artwork, thanks.

Thanks so much for this, I hope the official release is as nice. (Plus of course the songs that BBC failed to air like White Queen, Ogre Battle and such) I don't understand something, Why if the band kept playing didn't they just keep the cameras rolling for Seven Seas & See What A Fool?

I really hope and wish that they'd do a DVD release with this paired with Rainbow 74, the WHOLE show, not just the crap edit that made its way to VHS copies.

Again thanks though, something to tide us non UK people over til the release of the DVD!

Because the crew's job was to film it for TV.  The broadcast portion of the show had ended, so they were packing up their gear.

Back then, people generally didn't go out of their way to film bands without a good reason to do so, as they had no idea how valuable such footage would be decades later.  There isn't too much footage of bands like Queen, Led Zeppelin, and Kiss from the 70s, even though they each played hundreds of concerts ... and there is even less of The Who, Pink Floyd, Genesis, The Eagles, and plenty of others.

WOW, what a quality. Never seen or heard this concert this way!
Thanks for this early X-Mas gift!!!

The official artwork will have a picture of bent Freddie on the front and red background, with the title written in Comic Sans

This one is better than the previous, but the version i have had for years is better than what BBC showed for some odd reason? lol.  I will tell you, anyone that hasn't seen this, this has Freddie's best performance of In the lap of the gods...revisited on it!!! He sings it with so much emotion and it just gives me a chill up my spine, especially the 2nd verse.

I must say a huge thank you to both Frank and Rien for thier shares in this re-broadcast. And to both Frank and Alex for the technical talk regarding the quality of the recording.

Thanks a lot!

Thx tgunn2760,

I worked it out, it seems swapping from Bitlord to Bitcomet has resolved a few of my problems...and I'm 35%uploaded now!!!

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Frank!

Nice detail, Mott the Hoople is playing the new Odeon when Bob Harris does his new intro!

merci

i know it's an old post but.............is there any chance to have someone to seed it again ?
