Knebworth Question.

Now I know im going to get a lot of heat from this but I really don't give a shit! Don't get so butt hurt over the topic. Now I know that there is Pro footage from DoRo From this concert. only a few snips but in all seriousness, Has anyone ever tried to ask DoRo them selfs? Found there contact info and was just thinking What the hell, why not just ask!?

Well lets say they have it (evidence says they do) qp would not want them blabbing about it because qp controls releases not DoRo . But don't worry we shouldn't rule out an audio release. But what the hell lets try!

I also think it would be nice if they released doro footage from wembley seen here starting at 8:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Suo-6sW8jXI

Wembley has been done to death lets get the 70s stuff first I need a blu ray of hammersmith '79 asap

All that material was filmed for the Magic Years documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Qm0OEzAEi8

A fantastic documentary about Queen, the third volume is dedicated to the Magic Tour, the DoRo filmed excerpts from Mannheim, Wembley and Knebworth, but that footage is fragmentary. I'm sure there is more unseen footage in their archives, but still with that material i doubt they could release anything.

Maybe some songs filmed with one angle like Is This the World We Created https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt01rgBfnEE

The only hope to watch a professional release of Knebworth is this: The DoRo filmed a few songs they like (like ITTWWC or Radio Ga Ga) and Queen Production decided to put these songs as extras in a Blu Ray release.

But taliking about releases seems like Houston was filmed in 16mm (it can translate as new 1080 HD) so a Blu Ray of Houston will be something. Mr. Thomas also said it will be released in the future.

Houston earls court box set anyone?

Why do people keep suggesting this? Two very different tours and setlists.
This new Rainbow release works because the venue is the same, plus the setlists are quite similar.

The have filmed AT LEAST
- footage of the stage being built and the grass being prepared for the audience
- various audience members getting to the venue
- audience members eating and relaxing
- Status Quo - Rockin' All Over The World
- Queen getting to helicopters
- helicopter flights
- Queen getting out of the helicopters
- Freddie preparing his voice in his dressing room (usually edited into Wembley documentaries, god knows why)
- band going to the stage
- Is This The World We Created
- Tutti Frutti
- Bohemian Rhapsody
- Hammer To Fall
- Radio Ga Ga
- We Are The Champions
- God Save The Queen

Also footage of the stage and the big screen from the moment the band is walking towards the stage. The audience is going wild.

I seem to remember you can see the band walking towards the stage on the big screen, which always made me wonder what camera's exactly were all feeding to the screen.

Why the would anyone that isn't a hardcore Queen fan want to see the same setlist two times anyway? What's the problem with getting TWO live shows with different setlists? I'd love that!

Some asshole is sitting on all of it, but will not release it. I would say anyone who can convince Brian that releasing the archives will save badgers would probably make the greatest impact towards any new stuff seeing the light of day. Who cares what fans want, or the revenues, it's the badgers man. Somebody please pull Tom Sawyer and have Brian paint the fence.

How bout we tell brian every second we don't get hammersmith '79 a badger dies

If I had to bet money on it, I'd say the screen video DOES exist, Brian and Greg Brooks both confirmed it (only to retract their comments later) and some of God Save the Queen (same camera as the screen feed) is seen on Rare Live.

I'd say they're keeping it under wraps for a box set release (similar to Rainbow 74) and want to have the suprise element of the "newly discovered footage of Queens final show" to market it.
