How many gigs were 'pro' recorded ?

Well then how come you didn't list Sun City for example?

Simple answer: because I forgot.

Anyone's free to add to the list :-)

I was at Empire Pool in '78 and saw no evidence of filming.

Key words here.

That's the real question, How many shows were multitracked? As these are the only ones to be released. Is an excellent question to ask to the heads of Queen Productions.

Well, let's hope that one day they will consider releasing in some form concerts that were NOT multitracked.

A nice capture from the soundboard can be pretty mindblowingly good!

Manchester 86 - some overdubs (Wembley 2nd night) come from this show (for example 2nd verse We Are The Champions ''And I ain't gonna lose'')

That overdub isn't from Manchester. In the Manchester version he doesn't sustain the Bb4 ("lose") which he does in the 2nd night Wembley version. My guess is that it's a studio overdub.

all the overdubs on 2nd Wembley were done in a studio

That's right. It's not Manchester. I'm sorry. I compared these shows too quickly.
How they did it? It's definitly not studio version of We Are The Champions. Freddie's voice sounds too heavy. It sounds like cut from another show but edited. ''Human Race'' also sounds uniquely.

a] strip club
b] taxi
c] phone booth/kiosk
d] supermarket
e] toilet

Although I don't personally believe the New Zealand footage exists. :(

I always assumed those were only short bits recorded by local TV stations

While not a Queen fan at the time (was only 4 after all), my mum and dad watched the concert on TVNZ so it was at least televised.

Someone in NZ must have recorded it either at the studio or old on VHS/Betamax.

After Knebworth could be the holy grail of filmed gigs as Fred was pissed and they had a guest on stage with them.

Fascinating insight.

Shocking revelation. I bet if that footage wasn't destroyed, the heads of QP have to laugh at it in secret.

Just for fun, someone should send a mail to TVNZ.
