EARL'S COURT

A complete Hammersmith '79 would be an absolutely epic release.

^ So we can establish the screen shot I posted is not from any documentary you saw.
Perhaps GT might know where it is from?

Thanks for the link slithybill.[/QUOTE]

This screenshot is from the Dutch documentary named "The Story of Queen" by Veronica broadcasted 1987

The used some photo's to fill up gaps. Including this one. I am 100% sure.

They don't have the multitrack from Hammersmith 79 either, do they?

[/QUOTE]

As far as I know, they do. A few years ago someone confirmed they did have the multitracks at the time, but then again nobody knows whether it was true or not. I only want to hope so!

So:

NO Hammersmith 75
NO Hyde Park 76 (according to Roger)
NO Houston (no multitrack)
NO Earl's Court (problems with the piano and voice mics)
NO Japan 79 (for Freddie's voice)

Our last hope are Hammersmith and Paris 79?[/QUOTE]
And Rio 1-12-85
Along with the '81 south american shows
[/QUOTE]

The shows you are talking about are of much less interest than those from the 70's. We are all tired of all these moustached concerts, even if some of them have never been officially released. Besides, such things as the second night at EC, Paris and Hammy '79 have never seen the light of day in all their entirety, so surely they would be much more worth a release than that unofficial albeit complete stuff from the 80's.

^ This.

The Works Tour is probably my last favourite tour, the band members were tired of each other's, they did it for the ca$h and the electronic drums sounds horrible. (I must admit the bonus tracks of RIR sound great in the 2011 remasters)

And for the South American shows... Rock Montreal is stronger, i think The Game era is well covered with RM.

Is really sad that none of the '75 - '78 tours is releaseable.

If they were to do another The Game Tour release, it should be a 1980 show, they're superior to the South American ones.

A lot of people seem to forget that there were two nights at Earls Court, both of which were filmed and properly recorded. [/QUOTE] It's worth noting that "Kes" is a bit of a self appointed unofficial mouth piece and this wouldn't be the first untruth (AKA - the official line) they've spread. The picture disc version of Roger Taylor's latest album was "limited" to 5000 copies, and (quite rightly it now transpires) scared that they were going to be left with a shit load of left over stock, they got "Kes" to make people on that forum believe it was 500 so they'd go out and buy it in panic with the belief that it would be difficult to obtain and a guaranteed instant rarity. It is currently still available from over 20 different retailers on Amazon alone for well below the original asking price.

Yeah, I'm aware of his general "role" there, but are you sure Kes is taking marching orders from QP, especially those to spread misinformation for profit? That's a pretty hefty accusation.

There's one still sitting in a record shop in Amsterdam.

Item #2195 that's wrong with the functionality of this forum.

Here's the recently done mix of the Earls Court 6-6-77 audio heard at the Stormtroopers in Stilettoes exhibition in 2011. This really should be a huge discussion piece.

Who here attended the exhibition? Can they confirm how much of the Earls Court audio was heard??

I wouldn't mind a 10 CD boxset of all five shows in Tokyo in 1981. Even if they're just soundboards, I'd really dig it.

[/QUOTE]

Do you know where this came from? Obviously the exhibition but do you know specifically which part?

The first night of EC was available to view with stereo sound but NOT remixed. It was the same soundboard/videofeed mix on the bootleg, vocal drop out's and all.

Some television screens were showing mini documentaries and I distinctly remember some snippets of DOTL which had clearly been remixed. The sample you've provided probably came from one of these 'mini docs'.

I can't tell you any more than I know. I hope someone else can add more..

What were these mini-docs you speak of? There definitely is no existing documentary that used this particular part of the EC footage.

They had short films lasting approx 15 mins playing on a continuous loop. I remember my jaw hitting the floor seeing the Houston soundcheck and NOTW tour rehearsal footage for the first time. It was one of these films which featured a few short snippets of a clearly remixed Earls Court.
