What I find a little hypocritical is that Queen Productions are aware of David Fuller (Hence a previous post by GB titled "David R Fuller & The likes"). But yet a link from Brian's Website posts to David Fullers Youtube channel for this said interviewl!!!!!! Strange...

His site is managed by someone else on his behalf (Jen), I highly doubt Brian is much involved at all about external links (never mind the embedded YouTube videos) that are selected for use on the site, and perhaps Jen doesn't know about the controversy involving DRF to give her the benefit of the doubt.

I made mine private after Fuller nicked it, and it prevented me from uploading a better quality copy as requested by others. I'm not that fussed as like I say, I was surprised it was largely unseen. I'm glad people have seen it now, just a shame he doesn't let people know the source and makes a fool out of himself by giving inaccurate answers about stuff he gets the praise for. Which makes me think he's largely clueless about Queen and is doing it purely for point scoring and financial gain.

Yes, I know "Jen" runs Brian's site & you are probably correct in your assumption that she does not know about all the controversy regarding DRF, but you would have thought that somebody in the Queen-camp would have let her know about Not posting links to his uploads.

But then again when has anyone in the Queen camp known what their "Left Arm" was doing when watching their "Right Arm" lol!!!!

What prevented you from uploading a better quality copy?

Did you throw your toys out of your pram because your pride was injured by Fuller not giving you credit?

If Fuller's YouTube account is shut down, shares like this will not be available for common plebs.

I remember recording this from the TV on a cassette (no video in our house in '78).

It's the first time I've heard that interview in about 30 years and I was prompting them both almost word for word.

2013.. And no video in the house....

i don't see any rudeness in her interview technique.
try interviewing someone over the phone, and see how you do...
i think she did a very good job in awkward cirumstances

Agree.. this is a really pathetic attempt at making Fuller look like the cunt, keep the rare stuff for your clique then try and discredit the person who shares. This whole thread showcases exactly why 99% of Queen 'collectors' are wankers.

Thank you for making this available.It was a lot of fun to watch.Dead on time is an incredibly fast Metal Rocker.I remember getting this album on Christmas day 1978.Apparently Brian was calling in on the day of the widely reported Wild party that evening in New Orleans!Excuse me towel girl could I have a line and a quick B please.I would think that anyone who read about the debauchery that night knows what I'm alluding to.LOL

new Orleans! the home of jazz jazz jazz! or was that the name of the album?;-)

Is one of their heaviest songs. Very underrated. Live must be mindblowing.

Also, thunderbolts courtesy of God.

I believe it was played live but I saw the European leg of Jazz (Paris) and the Crazy Tour (4 gigs) and didn't hear it.

Anyone know if it was played in the US or Japan 78/79?

Then maybe you should delete 99% of your collection of unreleased Queen music, because without these "wankers" you wouldn't have been able to enjoy it.

As for the topic at hand - anyone who watermarks stuff that isn't theirs is a dickhead. But the fact that he uploaded it to youtube isn't a big deal. I'm the first guy to want to tear him a new one, but there are a hundred better reasons to do so. This video isn't one of them.

It definitely wasn't played live.

At most, Brian occasionally played a lick or two from the solo in Brighton Rock.

Awww ... somebody has their panties in a twist because of a watermark.
