thats all i know of , the stage setup with Abba. A wall of 9 AC30s, a strange V shaped above head rig and Rogers drums.

maybe this second picture shows more from the stage design, looks like a huge face of somebody singing is painted on the wall as a background

copy paste the links pls

Okay we have just had confirmation from Simon Lupton that the NIH footage at the exhibition is TOTP from the January 30, 1975 edition. 

And to confirm what was also said above: Keith uncovered it when talking to a former BBC Engineer who had taped 
numerous episodes of TOTP and it was he who also supplied us with the three performances of Seven Seas of Rhye we have. 

So that is now clear.

What about the other photo with FM all in white?

strangely the Wings performance survived from the same show, (21 Nov) in top quality, sometimes in the background you can see the stage design elements from the red jacket picture. Wiped from the BBC archives, but still if it's McCartney, someone was able to come up with a near perfect copy.

Must be the first TOTP NIH performance, or the third unknown TOTP Killer Queen .

Is this the 45-version of Now I'm Here, or is it just mislabeled?

No. This is TV report from New York 02-05-76

This 'Now I'm Here' clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPtwJkEC8ak) comes from TOTP, 100 per cent!!!

It is NOT from the Granada programme, 45. It was found by Keith Badman and it was he who supplied it to Queen Productions Ltd.

JC... may I ask you please where you got this info.... It was found by Keith Badman and it was he who supplied it to Queen Productions Ltd. 

I'm intrigued.

Thanks

Does "Queen Archivist" work for Queen Productions LTD, in the archive?

Yes, of course. Where else would I work?

Perhaps the Abba clip was re-broadcast on a later episode (before the tapes were destroyed) and the later episode survived. Some clips (non-Queen) on  Countdown Australia survived that way.

You should direct that question to Saintray, I just quoted him through the link supplied. He has recently joined here too, maybe he will see the question and respond.

To be honest I always thought Dave Lee Travis donated this footage from his private archive in 2007. So I was way off, it's the full episodes of TOTP I'm interested in.

Or, is DLT that former BBC Engineer?

Same set

An earlier post by GT now confirms NIH showing at SIS is indeed from TOTP Jan 30th 1975.
