REQUEST PLEASE:
Did anybody here go and see Queen's concert 'Live At The Rainbow' (from November 1974) at the cinema in 1975?
Thanks.
no. but i saw it as a support feature to Pink Floyd's - The Wall movie in 1982
go deo na hÉireann The best QZ epoch: BG17-00 (Before Gerry 1996-2013)
Thank you Brenski. It seems this Rainbow concert was support to many films from 1975 to 1979 and now 1982!
Sorry GT, too young - but may I ask where this is going? Thanks!
didn't know it was shown in 75. I thought the first time was as the opener for Zeppelin's Songs Remain the same.
I don`t understand what is the meaning of this question
If this info means what I think it means I'm excited :-) Unfortunately I was only "minus 7" years old and behind the "Iron curtain"

Try structuring that in the form of a question, and add the word "please": it goes a long way :)

So you were a spermcel living behind your fathers chastity-belt.

Just kidding sir Pittrek :-)




I didn't go and see it, but I wish I could have. I didn't even exist at that point of time.

I saw it at the Carlton cinema on o'connells street, dublin and it was showing before north sea hijack with roger Moore. Looked it up and that was released in the autumn of 1979.
Back to lurking.

Hi GT. Sorry, I wasn't alive then. But go ahead and release the concert and box sets. :)

Sincerely,
A Queen fan
I remember getting it as part of Box of Tricks donkey's years ago and also remember feeling very disappointed it was edited and in mono!
Thanks for your help guys.

We are trying to ascertain exactly when the Rainbow film was first used as a supporting film to a main feature film in the '70's.
It seems to have been shown from 1975 right up to 1982 at various cinemas and to various movies across the UK and USA throughout that time.

Maybe the Rainbow wasn't shown in 1975, with Jaws as the main movie, and the first time it was shown was 1976?
This is what we need to find out.

Was it the cinemas themselves that chose a support movie or was it down to the distributor of the main feature film?
