I have attached two screenshots from the Champions Of The World documentary..
Despite the different captions, they are clearly from the same show. I'm inclined to think they are from Paris 2-28-79.
Furthermore, it's probably the same concert as this picture.. probably taken during We Are The Champions.. ? http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/3393/freddiemercury63kb7.jpg
Any thoughts on this one?

I also think that these bits of footage are from Paris on February 28.

You are good at observation Missman. The footage is indeed from Paris on 28th February 1979 and the song is 'We Will Rock You'. The inclusion of the clips in the 'Champions Of The World' video was a typical DoRo hash job at the time.

I could never understand how did they even dare to label THE SAME footage as coming from 2 different shows ? They either have complete mess in their archives, or consider Queen fans to be absolute idiots
Thanks for your reply GT

Thank you very much, GT!
You're like a sunshine in our rainy day :-)
Can you please figure out footage of Freddie on Superman with bananas? What from the concert is it?
Cheers!

The banana show footage is indeed a mistery for quite a few years now. I think Gary can help.

Aha, so it is indeed from 2-28-79..
Thanks for the response, Gary !
Something tells me the banana footage is from Tokyo 4-24-79... any confirmation on that?
This screenshot is from The Champions. The shot of Freddie is from stage left, but it is superimposed over footage from the audience's point of view... and of course, not necessarily from the same show.

I also think that it can be from one of Tokyo concerts on April 23 or 24 but maybe from another Japan gig?
I think I need to download all audio bootlegs from Japanese gigs from April / May 1979 and listen very carefully to each WWRY how audience reacts and maybe there'll be heard like bananas falling :-)
Now I have from this leg of tour Tokyo on April 23, 24, 25 and Nagoya on April 28.
It seems that on April 24 aud rec audience reacts to WWRY very loud! Maybe really from this gig?

Good observation of the audience on the 24th. This may be the one..

The bananas footage... How I'd love to see that on an official release. it's just hilarious:-)

Yes Tokyo on the 24th.

I had no idea that also the concert on the 24th was filmed. It's pretty strange that nothing else "leaked" yet from that night

Cool, thanks for confirming, GT.

I may be wrong (it is a long time ago) but I have a feeling that Freddie was also wearing the bananas at one point on the Crazy Tour. I saw 2 nights at Liverpool, 1 each at Birmingham and Ally Pally. I'm certain it wasn't at Liverpool. More like Ally Pally. I have this faded memory of laughing about it because I'd seen a pic with the bananas from the Jazz tour. Anyone out there that can confirm?
