Documentary on Rudi Dolezal

Hello everybody,

here you can watch the first episode. I haven't seen it all.....but as much as I have heard the interesting stuff is at 43:08 and yeah.....it is more or less a new recap of the things we have heard in the 40 years show (german) maybe a little more detail.

maybe someone will be able to convert that to something useable...since I am sadly not able to do that.

I can try to make a translation if you like.........probably it will be a raw one...since I am sure some vocabulary will be missing.....


on a sidenote Rudi says again that Tatdool was the last time that FM was in front of a camera........

cheeers

I told you: more of the same in terms of footage.

To me is bad news, I mean: I would love to to see new footage, but it smelt like the same shit.

I am gonna watch the link later.. I was always interested in how did they end up with those guys...

Ok, I`ve watches that particular minutes where Rudi talked about Freddie`s last film moments. In general .- there is nothing new - just some more details like Jim Beach called him a few days before the shooting and ask Rudi not to film too many takes because of Freddie`s condition. So they hoped he could made it trough the three days that were planned for TATDOOL.
Rudi also mentioned an disturbing fact about Freddie`s feet.
He( Rudi) wasn`t able to make a clear point in time about the cutting process of TATDOOL, maybe weeks or month after the filming.

Didn't he also say that Freddie (or somebody else) wanted another take on the last shot of the video? The one where he looks at the camera and says 'I still love you'. I can't understand a word of German, so I might be well off.

Rudi hasn't aged much - he doesn't even look that much different than he did in 1991. Anyway - it would be great to have some bits translated!

Nice documentary.

Rudi told about the shooting of TATDOOL and that Jim Beach contacted him a few days beforehand to ask not too demand too much from Freddie because 'he was doing not that well'.

Everyone at the shoot saw and knew there was something terribly wrong with Freddie and Rudi suspected it was AIDS.

As Jim Beach requested, Rudi gave his OK for the take of the last shot of TATDOOL but Freddie insisted he wanted to do another take despite his horrible condition and Rudi saw he was suffering enormously.

Freddie did the last take and created the last shot that shows still the twinkle in his eye. Rudi said he knew he it was the last piece of him on film.
Rudi said that he saw there the human Freddie Mercury and has a lot of respect for his will to carry on.

And at least we got some new snippets from the DOOL shoot.

Yes, he said that, but that was told in 40 years of Queen (VOX) also.
But actually we didn`t know if he`s correct( final take). I `ll take it as his personal memorys.

There were a lot of Behind the Scenes i think from Tatdool..

I recorded the first part with the online service save.tv:

Servus TV will also air an 1 hour live documentation "Queen in Concert: Live 1973 - 1986" on June 4th at 23.50 o'clock:
http://www.servustv.com/de/Medien/Queen-in-Concert-Live-1973-1986

^^ the last show you mentioned 1973-1986 sounds like "Rare Live" also the German discription sounds like Rare Live.
