My version of Hyde Park '76 video

Hi there,
I'm not sure about the necessity of sharing my version of Hyde Park '76 video. It's up to you to decide judging on its quality.
I've uploaded the first two minutes of my VHS transfer. I thought that screenshots won't tell you as much, as the sample of the actual video ;)

It looks good, at least this is an original no-timecoder version, without any artifact. In my opinion this would be a good video to watch. So if you don't share it here, please will you upload it anyway and send me the link privately? Thanks

But there IS a timecode... )

Sorry, I meant QTV :-)

Hi antiden, cheers for posting that clip. This looks very much like a copy I had on vhs about 20 years ago. If I remember rightly, its brighter than the QTV version, albeit a couple of generations higher.. And it's also missing the QTV logo obviously.. Most digital copies I've come across of this source have been sourced from mpeg 1 or AVI, this looks like a proper dvd. So I personally would be very pleased to see it again & would be grateful if you shared the whole thing when you get the time. Cheers mate.

I've been loving your shares of late, although don't see much of a huge difference on this one. That said, the QTV logo hasn't been stamped on it, so it's perhaps worth uploading. Thanks!!

Well done for being generous and sharing! I must say, that this concert is my absolute "holy grail" for known filmed Queen concerts. All the versions of this broadcast that I've seen are about the same video and audio quality (fair-good, B-). A big distraction for me is the audio which seems to have periodic frequency fluctuations, like wow-and-flutter, especially noticed with Freddy's singing and Brian's solos. Sadly, the audience/broadcast merge job is still pretty poor quality. I wonder whether Queen's management have a decent version of this gig, and whether they will release it before I die (or Roger and Brian die) if they are vetoing the release for "artistic" reasons. I think Queen were truly at their artistic peak in Sept 76...

OK, here's my full 'raw' vhs transfer of this legendary concert without QTV logo. Enjoy!

Thanks for another great share antiden.

Thank you very much antiden. I'm looking forward to checking it out. Like Peckery says, a broadcast quality or near mastercopy of Hyde Park has been my holy grail too. For about 30 years.. I'm told that there is one out there which is a couple of generations lower than the commonly shared QTV version which came from a later convention broadcast.. But trading its a no no apparently..

thank you

Thank you very much, Denis!

Thanks - I have 2 questions
1) why is the video 5:4 and not 4:3? Is it like that on the original VHS or did you do some "post-production" work?
2) Is there a chance you have more of the pre-concert footage? I'm searching for it for many years

1) This is a direct transfer from VHS, no "post-production" work has been done.
2) No more pre-concert footage :(
