I want to say that the last two pics on page of Barcelona gig on August 1st, 1986 on http://www.queenlive.ca/ are screenshots of this footage of Budapest :-)


Indeed you're right .. thanks!  Fixed that now.

Now we can be sure that this is one of 16 cameras angles


How so?  I've heard this was shot independently from the Hungarian film crew... by someone from ITV.  The fact that the ITV archives were credited in the Becoming Queen credits and not the Hungarian company should indicate who owns (and filmed) the footage.

Nice footage, and the sound is actually very good!!!
Thanks for sharing this!
Cheers!
Please will you direct me in the right way?

Yes, it is the same footage, filmed by Channel 4 crew on one camera with zoom. You can find much better version in documentary called "Biography - Freddie Mercury" from A&E TV, which was also shared here.

No. The quality is far too good to be a screengrab from the 16 camera version, UNLESS the original film has been found.
As far as I'm aware, only a VHS version of the 16 screens survives.
