Oh man, it must have been a great experience, having those two icons on stage together.
I'm sure Freddie had a blast with Elton's wardrobe.

Is there any mention of this event by anybody in an interview or anything?

It was 1982, people didnt have iPhones or small recorders. every recorder was big as hell (Even the mid / late 90s ones were big and around 12 lbs)

Even most of us dream of 2 things, Full Knebworth Pro-Shot ánd 1988 Time musical Footage.
Both is never going to happen unfortunatly.

We got some hope with the Budapest release, but that was the bloody VHS tape version, only remastered in HD... (It looks stunning though)

It was shot on film, not videotape. 35mm.

He didn't say it was shot on video, he meant the recent release of Budapest was the same cut as the one that appeared on the original VHS release of the Budapest show.
