Top of the Pops dates

Aww that's a real shame. Thanks anyway Pittrek :)

Might be worth asking one of the guys on the missing episodes forum:

Do you have this info from the PVL?

Yes

Most of the dates above are wrong. I have been doing extensive work on the subject of Queen at TOTP, and details will feature in the forthcoming 'Queen Live: A Concert Documentary' book.

Any chance of revealing at least the final date ? I'd really love to buy the tape :-)

The "elite traders" don't have it, I guess that QPL bought his archive and they forbid him to sell more copies

Being an "elite trader" yourself, you should know! So you think this guy is no longer selling copies?? I think he is! Do you want his email address?

BBC SOunds of the Seventies is currently being broadcast and it showed Good Old Fashioned Loverboy from a 1977 Top of the Pops performance. It's also on Youtube:

Basically it's the album version except Brian plays live guitar.

That's all mimed and is a complete re-recording of the song. TOTP's insisted the artist done this to make the viewer think it was live. Queen always (unknown to the bbc) got away with playing the studio version from the album except for GOFLB and NIH I believe.
