yes, i know about this one. The one i talk about is the one b4 this one where brian confirmed the existence of the knebworth recording on his soapbox. Then that post vanished. I remember reading about it here. Then this that you sent me was the "final" response to knebworth's existence.

a couple of months ago i asked of this old story. Were you the one who said that some days after brian said knebworth existed, all of a sudden that post was deleted??

It's still there..
It was me who mentioned the post which got deleted. It was around the time the Wembley DVD was released, someone asked about a knebworth release to which Brian replied that they had the footage which was fed to the screen but because of bad camera angles etc he didn't think it was suitable for release. If each camera had been recording individually like at Wembley then they could make a proper edit without the camera being focused mainly on Freddie.
I wrote a rant of an email to him straight after reading saying fans are not bothered about 'beautiful camera angles' etc. He never replied and the post was taken down.
I don't think they have it but I don't buy the nobody pressed record excuse, I think it's probably been lost many years ago.

I quite like this bit of film, where Freddie says 'Brian writes on the guitar and Roger writes on the erm.. drums'. He probably doesn't actually :-)

brENsKi, if this exist, it's good, but not now, but there was a screen on the show, nothing of that screen was recorded?

ohh it was you!!
i see. I do think the same as yo do. Probably they lost the tape or it is damage and they think the best way to cover it up is sayin "it does not exist"

you need to follow the thread. it's already been confirmed on here - and by Brian May - that NOTHING from the screen was EVER recorded.
Brian's exact words were "someone forgot to press the record button, so it's probably disappeared 20 light years into space by now"
ordinarily i-d be calling you an idiot by now, but i'll let this one slide...maybe on a "lost in translation" merit
actually, if you want someone to blame - blame me. i was there that day, and i clearly remember looking at the desk and seeing the lead from the tape machine hanging loose over the edge of the mixing desk...just as status quo left the stage...i coulda done something, but i thought "fuck it, if they can't be bothered to check things themselves...bollocks to em"
better take that back...or else the interweb will find a weird way of blaming me, and the next thing i'll know is when a solicitor's letter from QPL arrives citing "music sabbotage".
so just to clarify...I WAS NOWHERE NEAR THE CONSOLE...i was much much nearer the stage, and so couldn't have been responsible

hummmmmmmmmm, ok brENsKi, i understand, there isn't nothing, really NOTHING of the screen, and seriously speaking, it's good, no "more" magic tour!!! :D

No isn't good, Knebworth was a great concert, but i think for sure QP never record the gig in video.
Anyway, we are very lucky in this aspect, Queen filmed a lot of gigs, some of them in great quality in audio and video, something very rare at the time, another great bands never did things like that.
But as a fan, i still think Queen deserve a every gig filmed in 35 mm.
Being realistic, we must thank God for have the video catalogue of Queen gigs and the slighty more extense catalogue of gigs recorded in audio, and hope that someday that material will see the light of day.

There is a difference in them having recorded shows and recorded FULL shows, uncut, there are several shows in the archives of the QP, but complete, are few, saw it on a site at a time, and are 18 shows that the QP has completed shows.

I remember that first post of Brian as well!
I´m a huge fan of Knebworth and i remember him saying that they had the big screen feed in their archives. Later that post was deleted wich got me a little confused, but at that time Brian believed it was in the archives.
Wich means that Brian thought that knebworth was taped (Big Screen feed) and in the archives until 2003. Wich he should! Because if he was working with what they called the best crew in the world for the Magic Tour, then Brian KNEW that it was recorded like it SHOULD be!! He didn´t need to check.
The only thing i believe in all this story is that it ISN`T in the archives NOW! But i believe it was recorded.

P.S.- QZ forum doesn´t let me re-arrange my post so i leave it like this.

In ALL this time.. the "no-one pressed record" story is so fucking well circulated throughout the queen community. Surely in 26 years this story has fed it's way back to someone who worked the console on the day....and surely that person would've by now come forward and said[/b] [i][b]"no fucking fucking way am i taking the blame for this...i fucking-well DID press fucking record button"[/b][/i]
