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?[/QUOTE]
Methinks it was a case by case basis, even just by looking at the Queen footage that exists.
5-3-78 - KYA and WATC were aired (near the end of the show)
1-29-79 - Bicycle and Car were aired (first half hour of the show)
2-11-79 - Let Me Entertain You and WATC were aired, as well as a few songs in between (the whole show was filmed, but the remaining footage was scrapped)
2-23-79 - first three and last three songs were aired
3-8-81 - Dust was aired (encore)
4-28-82 - first two songs
5-12-82 - last three songs
4-26-85 - Tear It Up and Radio Ga Ga were aired (beginning of the show and last show of set proper)
^ all are different. I guess they just negotiated each deal on its own merit, perhaps dependent on local union rules for the crews?

Oh no! Sad news of the day. That was a superb footage.

Indeed. Probably the best late 70s footage of Queen.

"manuscripts don't burn" so perhaps somewhere, someone, has a copy.
