My uncle just recently found a VHS Tape with over 3 hours worth of footage that he recorded of Queen from TV over the years. It was recorded on LP mode so the audio and video quality isn't the best it could have been but it's better than nothing! Also it's quite fragmented because he started to record whenever he found something from Queen on TV, so most clips are cut from the start. He also told me that these were most likely recorded around the time Freddie died.
The lineage is this I think: TV > VHS (PAL) > ? > DVD-R
There are 3 files bellow,they are 1GB almost exactly but the third file has about 38 minutes of a TV program and ads that could caught recorded.

Thank you very much!
Very nice, thank you.
Thanks :) Wembley looks amazing!
Thanks alot. I've taped some of these programs back in 1991 onto a VHS tape but since i don't have a VCR anymore this is more than welcome.
Thank you all for your kind words, me and my uncle really appreciate it! :)

Interesting stuff, especially Another One Bites the Dust part.
Thank you :)
Thanks for this material. I splitted it into different segments (using frame-precision editing and direct stream, so no re-encoding and no loss of quality) as per the original tapings, and re-uploaded these to Mega:

I think I could correct some glitches in the video and re-sync stereo audio from the radio transcription discs.

Seriously? Hahaha yes!
By the way, has anyone noticed in the Bohemian Rhapsody video at the end of the BRITS 1990 broadcast, that there's an audio glitch (a bad crossfading, one beat too long)? This very same error was on the Trillion tape transfer provided by Sikke, and it happens exactly at the spot where the 'flames' (supposedly earlier, original Top Of The Pops) version and the regular version match. It makes me wonder...
