Looking foward to tonights 2nd part and concert, it certainly cheers up a wet Bank Holiday.Did not know that Smile had a keyboard player.Pretty good stuff and certainly better than "A Kind Of Magic" which ITV keeps showing.

The obvious confusion was caused by going on about the 3 voices over footage of the whole band (including John) singing collectively into a mic! On the whole, very good though. Quite pleased with it.

Probably they call John to give a interview but he refuses to get envolved in any kind of thing about Queen. He prefers to stay away from his past. Maybe he forget everything or he didn't like to remeber these days ¬¬'
This don't envolved a revival, Paul Rodgers, WWRY Musical, Freddie film, etc. None of this new things. It's just a doc about the classic and ORIGINAL Queen with the four guys, but he prefers stay away.
Sad.

John is not that dead. This is a very recent picture of him, Veronica and children.

Just watched (thanks to whomever put it up on youtube).
Great general documentary. Remember, it's for the masses... i'm happy they made an effort to find new interesting footage for the queen geeks (like us).
Quick question... what was the last song at the end? Sounds very familar but I can't quite place it.
Thanks!

Was It All Worth It from The Miracle.

It was excellent. really looking forward to tonight's part. So glad they didn't have interviews with dickheads out of Muse or Foo Fighters. Or Robbie Williams.

Ok. This is a really good documentary, with some unseen stuff - can't wait for part 2.
But, I have had Champions of the World as my fave doc on Queen so far. I like the way it tells the story. Queen is shown as a 4 piece band, unlike this new one. For the general public, don't you think COTW is a better documentary? Or still, do you think it is a good documentary?

I think this documentary is a bit more personal than the Champions of the World one. It (If I remember) was a bit more like the more typical documentaries with the stock footage seen in others and the heartstring pulling ending. Although it's been a while since I last watched it. Think I'll dig out the video for another watch. The small snippets of unseen footage prevented me even blinking during Days of our lives in case I missed something.

Saw the documentary last night and I was impressed. Although I like the most parts of other Queen documentaries this one is certainly the most proffesional and it dealt with the sucess, history and music career very well (thank god they had done a decent look back at the discography as in other documentaries albums like Queen II are forgotten about and are overshadowed by Live Aid and Bohemian Rhapsody).
My Uncle is massive Rush fan and the other day he showed my the Lighted Stage which was another fantastic retrospective musical film. It's probably slightly better than the Queen documentary so far, however if a little bit more was added to Days of Our Lives it would probably have the edge.
I loved the extra shots from music including Somebody to Love and Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Great shots from 1977. Brian talking about his Dad was moving.

Overall was fantastic, especially seeing the "unseen" bits. So a BIG thanks to whoever posted it on youtube - who knows when it will ever get screened here in NZ?! Would love to see an extended version released on DVD at some point. And what's up with no new John interviews? I know he's been retired from the music biz but he spent 20 years of his life in Queen a big chunk of his life so you would think he could have at least given some new interviews about it???
One question for all you Queenie geeks though - during the segment showing the lost SSOR TOTP footage (at Part 1 12.19 onwards for a few seconds) Brian has changed his outfit to a white jacket. Did he do this during filming or has one of the other TOTP performances been edited in? Me thinks he changed during filming as the rest of the band appear the same, but it doesnt quite make sense.

There is a few surprises in The second part
These include unseen clips from promo of Radio Ga Ga and also I Want To Break Free The is also unseen footage when Queen were making Hot Space at Mountain Studios.
I did feel that they rushed the ending. That could have been the way it was edited for TV, but it did feel a bit rushed. Hopefully the DVD release should be better and have bits that were missed out in the second part.

I have the feeling, after watching the two parts, that 2 hours is not enough for a Queen doc. I also felt the final part was a little bit rushed and left out many interesting topics.
