Knebworth Question.

Ahh, once in a while this Knebworth tread pops up. Love it!!.
To me the full concert exists. Brian said this back in 2006 on his website. But also said, if i am not wrong, that only footage of the screen existed(videofeed). Then for some reason that post was deleted. They felt it would not be releaseable due to lack of camera angles i think. It's true. The Big Screen has some horrible angles at times, and Roger did not have a camera for him at least, until A Kind Of Magic. But to me and to all fans that would not matter. For example, Wembley 1st night is much better than the 2nd night although was shot on 6 or 7 cameras. I prefer it over the 2nd one. By the way, i remember how the director who was in charge of the cameras, lied, saying only "some" parts of the concert(1st wembley) were recorded. And that is recorded history. It's on dvd 2 of wembley 2003.
So what could we expect???
At some point they will release it. I think the closest chance we had at it, was in 2012 when Queen was supposed to play at Knebworth Park with Lame-bert. A pity that event was cancelled, because i am quite sure that was the biggest shot we had at a Knebworth park Dvd Release.

Here is what i said regarding the director and 1st wembley. Minute 01:30

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. [/QUOTE]

I really doubt there is enough room on that platform for 2 cameras and 2 people

There is room enough. The videos are shot from different angles, what do you need more?

Someone in QZ should create a new topic and stick it in the page 1: [b]Knebworth guide for noobs: Why the show wasn't filmed[/b]

Perhaps they could use what they have for knebworth as a bonus disc when they re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re release Wembley.


Queen live at Wembley - the tired edition, with knebworth. Due to be released on ......

in later pictures you can see the 2 cameramen + Radio Gaga audience shots (DoRo) were from that spot probably or near. and there is no way a 16mm film camera is used for live video feed camera.

1) Take the two clips, the one from the screen and the one from doro.
2) Watch them both
3) take note of where Roger is when he walk past Freddie
4) Becuase they are slightly different angles, in one he hits Freddie while he is talking, in the other he passes him after he finishes speaking.


That's becuase the DoRo Camera is in the wings, higher up and further back than the screen feed:

Well guys I just send an email to both Rudi Dolezal and Rob Perkins and lucky enough I got a response from Rob, not a very detailed response but it's still a response! I asked, "Hey Rob I just wanted to know, since the newest Queen DVD/BluRay is being released early next month any planes on releasing some of your Footage from Wembley or Knebworth? Queen fans would love to see these especially on a BluRay!" And he replied...

^ :)

Well that was easy fans have been debating this for years but all it took was asking nicely thanks jake

So verification that the footage exists. But no clue as to the quality or worthiness of a standalone release.

There is no market for Knebworth. Only the most hard-core fans would buy it, sales to the general public would be close to zero - there are already TWO audio releases from that tour, and THREE full concerts on DVD (2 nights of Wembley and Budapest). If they'd ever release this, it'd be in something like 2036 to scrape the bottom of the barrel.

Well who in the general public would want the rainbow

Agree. Most people recognise Freddie as a moustached guy with yellow jacket who sings Bohemian Rhapsody and We Are The Champions. Rainbow is nothing like it, let's see how the sales are gonna be :)
