Was looking forward to this documentary on sky arts tonight called "discovering queen". It's billed as friends and fans of legendary rock band queen discussing their admiration for the award winning quartet and reflecting on their enduring hit songs.
So far, I've seen a lot of people I've never heard of, obviously too young to have missed queen, talking like they knew them personally - and have learned:
1- killer queen was a number two single from SHA
2- bohemian rhapsody was on ANATO and was the birth of the promo video
3- ADATR was named after a Marx bros film
4- Hot Space was dance orientated and had David Bowie on it
5- I really couldn't be arsed watching this drivel anymore.
Next on: queen at Milton Keynes. I'm hoping its the original edit without vocal correction! That bum- note from Freddie on FBG cracks me up :)

Best part was when they slagged off the tour with Paul Rodgers and labeled him a pub singer and the only singer in the world who would need an autocue to sing Queen songs. They went on to say the mini tour with Lambert was a better fit. Couldn't agree more. Otherwise the program was shite.

At least the MK Bowl broadcast was the original audio, so was lovely to remind me how Roger's snare drum should have sounded, rather than the mess they made of it on the mix for the DVD release.

I recorded it because I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer last night....mainly due to the previous programme......did it have the bum-note on FBG??? Will be worth a watch later on if it does :)

Yet another shitty "talking heads" style program, with people who had never seen the band live and bored us to tears with "facts"..... not even worth recording

How good was the quality overall? Was it stereo sound? The 55 minute version?

I was thinking the same. Anybody have a HD transfer? It is safe to upload here because it has different camera angles and audio from the official release. Otherwise PM me if you have a copy and don't want to upload it. Cheers.

It would be very nice to have it from this HD broadcast with original audio ;)

Sadly I didn't record it, but it does get shown quite frequently, so will try to catch the HD broadcast next time. I think it was a stereo broadcast judging by how my av receiver dealt with it.

If i read correctly Thistleboy did record MK in HD....
MackMantilla · Member since
By the way, Thistleboy, please confirm us if that audio is mono or stereo.. ;)
