Dear Queenies,
I was wondering, has anyone here ever tried to do a complete list of all Queen music videos (and mimed performances and things that more or less pass for promo videos). Darren from queenvideos.cjb.net did an terrific job on that subject. But since then, several other videos/edits have popped up. For years I have been moderately obsessing over Queen and their videos. I hastily slapped this list together, just the Videos until 1982 for now (excluding solo stuff and clips prepared years later for "Queen Rocks", the US "Greatest Hits" VHS, "Days Of Our Lives" and the like, but these will come up eventually, as I go along with this). I really could use some help from some of the experts here.
- There is a lot of speculation and debate going on about those early TOTP performances from 1974/1975, who has the best guess?
- Has anyone ever seen one of the Videos on these so called "EMI Holland Promo Tape"s? I've doubted their existence, until the 'Cocaine' edit of the "Bicycle Race" surfaced, apparently stemming from one these tapes.
(Did I miss anything? Any information is appreciated)
