First reactions to the These Are The Days of Our Lives Video?

Regarding B&W videos from 1991, Peter Freestone confirmed Freddie agreed for doing it on condition it will be black and white. And he said Freddie would be very angry if he knew it will be released in full colour someday. It can be heard somewhere here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rxxW08Ld08

But I'm wondering if Freddie would be so angry why they were shooting all that backstage footage?

That's strange.. thanks for your contribution, Chopin by the way :)
Peter says at around 1:09:45 that TATDOOL was made in July? That isn't correct.

It almost caused a disco revival!

The first time I saw the Walt Disney studio animation video, which is beautiful, then I saw IGSM and by Freddie's death I saw the Queen Of the TDOOL video. I was sad and the video was like a goodbye.

Never mind first reaction, it still brings a tear to my eye any time I watch it.

In 1991 I was five years old, ten years later I became a huge Queen fan, but never seen any live perfomance (no youtube of course :)). So I have only listended to my records, mostly from the radio and all I knew was, that Freddie died very young. So it was for me quite acceptable, how he looked in his last video. Of course it was horrible, but still no problem for me personaly, he was ill so what du you want?
Many years later, I have seen the performance in Wembley ´86, and "experienced" all his energy, and seeing him in full strenght, that broke my heart. Because at this point I realized for the first time, how very very bad it was at the end, this huge change.
And everytime I hear "Love of my life" live and him speaking to the crowd "I still love you, better don´t forget it" I have to think about his last words in TATDOOL, because they are exactly the same. I mean, oh dear, how can we forget?

@Iron Butterfly: In late 2006, I had a casual conversation with a lady who had been a PM (Product Manager) at EMI over dinner, just off Kensington High Street where EMI's UK HQ was located at that time (the same building is now housing Warner Music's HQ). Even though she hadn't been PM for Queen, she had filled the position of PM at EMI from the early 80's onwards. I did ask her what she and her colleagues knew about Freddie's health since the late 80's. She said that even though it was never confirmed to them that Freddie was dying from AIDS until everybody got to know it, there were lots of hints and rumors circulating within the company. She also hinted that EMI's managing director at that time might have had some factual evidence, but that everybody else at the company was simply guessing. That Freddie was sick, without knowing what exactly it was, had been common knowledge at the time, she stated. When she and her colleagues finally got to watch the video for TATDOOL, they instantaneously knew early on what the world got to know a few weeks later. Her closing words on that subject were: „It was all so sad“.
