Actually Brian May said that the concert was recorded. He said somthing like he regreted only recording the mix from the feed - He mentioned this while talking about live aid dvd Release. And actually Greg said that footage of the big screen exists. Which supports what Brian said. So, if we only have the angles from the jumbotron they will have to do a lot of work to put out a nice Dvd. Although they could use it as bonus on a 2ndvd on some release

If that thing exist (i doubt it), as you said, it don't fit the quality standards of a Queen release, maybe a digital download of the full released show on CD? But with Budapest released recently, we'll have to wait a few years i presume.

And the rest of the audio definitely exists. There's a picture of several tape boxes somewhere. There's no way that they multi-tracked only some of the show.

Of course it exists. Wasn't Greg Brooks who said here that all the Magic shows during the UK Tour were multitracked?

Why do we go around in circles here?
When we engange in a serious discussion, at least we try to read every reply do prevent people from repeating themselves. Read my reply on page 3 of this thread and it will answer your questions about Greg stating that the video screen was recorded (a fan has a video of him saying so), and Justin Shirley-Smith admiting that the complete multi-tracks do exist in the archive.
I posted his reply - instead of just a link - so i don´t understand why are we question this on page 4 of this thread when this information was posted on page 3, unless people just like to jump in discussions without taking the time to read every post made. (oh wait --- this is Queenzone!)

The use of "admitting" about the multi tracks is a bit misleading; that makes it sound like it had been denied for years but then being found out.
However, the audio existing is absolutely no secret, has been talked about officially many times, and obviously we already have heard a fair amount on 'Live Magic'!
They may have 'stated', or even 'reminded us' that the Knebworth multi tracks exist, but "admitted" is not really the right word.

^^^^^^^^
Admited IS the right word because Greg Brooks at the time was saying that the audio didn ´t exist in complete form. It was only after a fan took some pictures of the tapes at the Genesis studio that QP finally admited they had it. Up until then, fans thought that the video screen feed existed, but there was no audio to synch it to.

P.S. Of course that Justin Shirley-Smith´s reply is from 25th February 2003, and that is indeed a long time, but the fact here is Queen fans thought that it didn´t exist in complete form at the time.

Ah, ok. I'd always thought that it was nailed on that the full Knebworth audio tapes existed, basically down to Live Magic; I didn't realise that good old Greg had come out and claimed otherwise. Presumably he must have had some kind of genuine reason for believing that they were lost or destroyed?!?

Has anyone got that photo handy?
I can swear I have it, but I can't find it in my records..

So if the Screen feed does exist, along with the multitracks, they could sync them together.. The only thing is though, because of the limited camera angles due to the on the fly editing as it happened on the night, It wouldn't be up to par for a standalone release.. It would make a great dvd extra somewhere down the line for the inevitable umpteenth release of the Wembley show. But I'd very much doubt they'd go to the trouble..

that is what i mentioned, the problem is not the limited ammount of cameras rolling but the angles relayed to the screen feed. They are quite awful at times.
What they can do, is mix it with the doro footage and also use whatever T.V footage from news is available.
It would be great to listen to that on 5.1 sound plus have a bouns with a 2 cd set.

I doubt there is much footage of the TVs out there. Even if TV stations still have the tapes, they probably have few of the first songs.
Nowdays the standard procedure is allow cameras during the first three songs. How was back then? Any journalists can tell?
