Loved the documentary.. Thanks.. Was all this footage from the original reels? Seems Some could be from YouTube ...? Remember to have à copy from Ahoy 1977 somewhere with à few minutes. Got it from technical engineer from the NOS back in THE ninetees . Recall death on two legs ... THE background music of THE doc was too loud when people were interviewed. Small thing though [/QUOTE]
I am so sorry but the Rotterdam 77 has nothing to do with the fucking Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS). So you are sooooo wrong!
The Rotterdam reels are 2 of them 16mm of them. Recorded by the famous camera man... and no where EVER in the hands of the NOS... don't talk about the brown stuff on this website... because I am still awaiting critical reviews... I am hoping for them the last 24 hrs....
Don;t talk bull shit or hoard anything about a camera man which does not excist from the Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS) , they had nothing to do with rotterdam 77. So don't fucking hoard another Hangman acetate!

Well, since you asked for it a critical review Sikke....
I could be a typical fan and moan about the shortness of the rare clips and that the Rotterdam 1982 label is STILL wrong after it was first noticed and pointed out on the promo advert what seems like ages ago, but instead I'll stick to a purely technical aspect of it and the only criticism I have:
The Killer Queen piano towards the start of the programme is TOO loud from the left channel and VERY annoying, making it harder to hear what people are saying.
Also, from my perspective, there's nothing worse than a documentary where music plays constantly in the background.
Thankfully this didn't last, although there were again a few moments later where music played unnecessarily over archive interview clips.
That aside, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it despite not speaking a word of Dutch myself.
As a fan, it is, yet again, frustrating to know that there is more footage that wasn't used, but that, sadly, is the lot of a documentary.
Thank you for researching and producing something new that contains unseen material :)

I enjoyed it, but I agree about the 1982 label - what was the correct date?
But seeing the new clips was great, I wish I understood Dutch :)

I think you must've gone to the Greg Brooks school of public relations.

I think its really too short, and i've seen everything that I know..
The German (40 jahre Queen), that was a really nice docu with new footage.
But better this than nothing.

Sorry my first reply was a little to much.
Well there is nothing in the hands of the NOS from Rotterdamn 77 since it was recorded by Veronica and it was in Sbs-telemedia (Telegraaf) archive.
So no NOS for sure.didn't want to makensuch a harsh reply but after 4
months of research I am pretty sure there is no such thing.

Ok, thanks for sharing it!
Also thanks for all the QZers that did the documentary!
Some stuff was totally new for me, so I thank you for all that!
Many people will complain about the use of the same footage over and over again. I want to remind those people that Queen were famous for not giving too much interviews (compared to other artists) and its hard for someone in, lets say Netherlands, come to Mexico and try to get the interviews the band did for the mexican TV (in case they did any, which I dont know) or having a Japanese guy flying all the way to Venezuela to do the same...
Still, I want to ask a question: Why did it end with Freddie's death? Why not going a lot far? I know it may be mentioned in the video but since I dont speak dutch, I could not understand!

Agree we needed to cut it down from 130+'mins to 60 the broadcast still was 65 mins.
Yes the German docu was great but it is to me only a version of Days Of Our Lives with some German interviews insersted. I remember watching it the day of the broadcast I fel a sleep after 150 mins without seeing new footage. When I woke up everyone mentioned the These Are The Days Of Our Lives footage that was for me the only new bit of footage.

And nothing was from youtube : some from VHS or a predecessor of this format Philips VRC.
E.g we wanted the 20.00 hrs news from
Nov 25th but that wasn't saved in any format. Only the items footage was saved not the announcement by Harmen Siezen

At the TV broadcast it was labeled correct : may 1977
The link showed a rough version without logo's and subtitles and skme
further errors : faul frames, wrong inserts though 99,9% the same.

Do you still have copies of all the footage?
Pity you can never share it.

Well, first of all Thank You for keeping the spirit alive and put some work and maybe some finacial risks in that project. A real critical review isn`t possible for me cause I can do only assumption on the Dutch language...:)
There are some questions about the possible deal about Rotterdam 89` ...actually not that surprising to me...the rumor spread around here ocassionally since a few years, the same counts for a possible appearance of the band at "Wetten Dass"( German TV-Show) in 89`. They were announced by the host and billed in TV-Magazines as guests. Of course it turned out that there was nothing but "hot air" in the end. But again thanks.
