No.

The DoRos had, if i'm not mistaken, two cameras during the end of the gig, one far from the stage (the one that filmed sea of hands during Radio Ga Ga) and the other, very close to another camera in the John's side. You had mistaken that camera with the screen feed.

Well even if there is no footage they defiantly have the audio

Are you trying to say that the 2 images you posted are from two different cameras??? Come on .... the foldback speaker at the bottom make it obvious that they're the same camera

no its not . the 2 cameramen were at the same spot , they zoomed differently and slightly different angle was used. also doro is 16mm film camera, while the video feed is video camera.

This is WTWC from Knebworth that I posted today and it looks like their are just 2 cameras used

I worked it out once as (i think) 6 screen cameras and 2 doro cameras.

Exactly! recorded with 6 cameras for the screen feed.

How many cameras used in Wembley 2nd night? 14, 16?

That is proof enough they never wanted to release the video of Knebworth, using only a few cameras means they were there only for the big screen and nothing else. Even if they have the video feed in the archives (is debatable), that recording is full of wrong angles and wrong moments (like showing Freddie dancing when Brian is playing a solo, a shot of the lights instead of John... exactlly like Wembley 1).

i say it before in this topic and i will say again, an standalone release of Knebworth is impossible. The only way to watch professional video of Knebworths is the few songs filmed by the DoRos as extras of a rerelease of Wembley or Budapest. Think otherwise is pointless.

If someone want to do something practical, contact the DoRos and politely, ask how many footage they filmed, if they have the daylight part of the show... that things.

Yes, a few years ago I shared a comparison video here of GSTQ, the videos were VERY similar, but not identical.

Are you sure about 16mm? I mean I know it's film but I always assumed 35mm, there seems to be much detail as I remember seing from 16mm transfers

Can I ask why did you download my video, cropped it to 16:9 and reposted it on your channel?

THis is the original video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c82TJ6LNSl0

I have said it before, when we was shown the premiere of the Wembley DVD at the convention, the knebworth question was asked. We was told the tape DID exist, but has since been deleted. The quality of the tape, or if there is any additional copies would be anyone's guess. Perhaps it was deliberately deleted to reduce the chance of leaks? Conspiracy theories please.....

Brian hates us

You want conspiracy theories, here they are:

a) The tape did exist, but was the ureleaseable screen feed and was deleted to prevent leaks, as you said.

b) Someone in the archives f***ed up, and the tapes were destroyed.

c) One fan died during the show, what if they feel ashamed about it (even if it wasn't their fault, in the first place). or what if they release Knebworth and the press attack them: Queen, the band who makes money over the fans blood, or nonsense like that? Now they are more press friendly, but back in time was a possibility.

I wouldn't hold out for a release until maybe 2026 - 40th anniversary since that seems to be the theme. If of course there is a copy out there. Even if there was a copy will there be quality issues? Only a few camera angles won't stand up to the likes of Wembley or Budapest. They would want to make money from this so would the non queen fan be that interested in buying when they can get a quality Wembley concert? Don't hold your breath

Once again brian hates us

This.

Expect something in this quality

But with trees and a bigger audience. For us fans will be gold, but for non fans, not so much.
