What is available from the second night at Earls Court ?

Since we all now have the complete video from the first night at Earls Court 1977, it would be nice to have an "as complete as possible" version of the second night, too. What is "OUT" already ?

"Thank you good evening all you rock'n'rollers" by Freddie - I "guess" this belongs after the opening medley, so maybe between Ogre Battle and White Queen ? What do you think ?

Brian's "Do you like the gimmicks ?" + Killer Queen - comes from Rare Live

The second half of "You Take My Breath Away" - from Champions of the world

Freddie's vocal improvisation between White Man and The Prophet's Song - I'm pretty sure I have seen it in one of the many, many documentaries - does anybody know in which one ?

Rock 'n' Roll medley - various unofficial sources, best quality video comes from a bootleg DVD called "Rare Live 2", but still has pretty bad quality

parts of Jailhouse Rock - Magic Years

God Save The Queen - the same bootleg video as the r'n'r medley

beginning of God Save The Queen - Magic Years

Are there any other sources ? I don't care how long they are, or how SHORT they are :-) I just think it's simply a good idea to collect all information on one place

I think you have already mentioned all surfaced stuff from this night. Never know about 'Vocal Improvisation' stuff to be leacked.

I'm pretty sure that I have seen (here ? ) a thread where another short piece of footage from a documentary was identified as being from the second night, I'll try to find it.

The second night complete would be a dream come true. Didn't they play Sweet Lady?

Also, the camera angles are much better than the first night. Plus, John is seen hitting the triangle ;-)

The video of released with the Absolute Greatest package had a few more seconds of chatter before Killer Queen.

I think the video is a shot, 1 minute, on the chmapions of the world doc... I don't remember if this video is YMBF

Also there´s a bit of freddies champagne toast from the Second Night (he spilled all his champagne ha ha)

In this video also there are many spots (Without Original Audio) from the Second Night Mixed with the fist Night dubbed with the Good Old-Fashioned Lover boy Audio:

Greetings!

Thanks for the champagne bit, could you remind me where it can be originally (means pre-Youtube) found ? Thanks

It's on disc 2 of Greatest Video Hits 1.

The footage of Freddie singing and playing the first two verses is definitely from the second night, and of course the champagne bit is too.

I think at this point we can be pretty sure the entire show exists in the QP archive.

Yep.

If somebody from QP reads this, both nights would make an excellent bonus to the new remaster of Races :-)

No,no the Good old-fashioned Lover Boy of the video is from Greates Flix I (Vhs version) ... The GVH second disc has the "live" mimed performance From Top of the pops.

Oh,i´m also pretty sure that a complete recording of the second night exist In the archives!

But i don´t know why they posted "you take my breath away" from first night (in conjuntion with the absoulute greatest)
if the version from the second night is a bit better cause doesn´t has the blow amp noise (that they had to remove)....

Greetings!

oops, double post

Maybe there's something wrong with the master tape of the second night by that point.  Or maybe they just thought the first night's performance was better.

Of course you're right about GVH1.. !

But look at this scan of the back cover of Greatest Flix - the track isn't included.

Nor is it on this version, based on one of the customer reviews..

So where does this video come from.. ?  It uses footage that isn't accessible to collectors, so surely it came from QP at some point..
