Announce:Earl's Court 6-7-77 (2nd night)-Pro footage

Thank you very much for this great footage! I missed the youtube uploads

Many many thanks for this. Excellent stuff. Maybe next year for the full project? We can only hope so. Although I'd be keen to see some of the forum bods have a hand in it rather than the ham-fisted approach we have seen from QPL previously. I'm sure those in the lofty heights of QPL towers scoff at a lot of what goes on here, but there's no question, we have the amateur talent to run rings round the so-caled professionals.

Thanks again.

Fabulous! Thank you very much indeed!!

It's crazy that this thread has barely hit page two - it's new pro footage of vintage Queen.

Maybe this is why so little Queen stuff comes out from non-Queen collectors - there doesn't seem to be much interest in it.
[/QUOTE]Well, maybe it's not the enthusiasm about the footage that is the problem...

I for one am truly ecstatic about every bit of unseen pro footage or even seen footage (if it's a nice upgrade, like that hammy stuff Sikke posted on youtube).

Thanks for sharing...

Keep it coming people, there is nothing wrong with keep it coming :)

Wonderful, simply wonderful. Thanks a bunch for sharing this! It's great to finally see more concert footages come out in the open in great quality. Let's hope this won't be the last.

I think i'm gonna sound dumb, but I gotta ask: Where do you think the audio source came from? I was thinking it's from the video feed, but it didn't have that dryness I hear from other video feed recordings like the 1st night, at least to my ears.

wonderfull share !!!
I really love the Earls Courts shows, it's fantastic !!!
Thanks for dispobilize it

Indeed, at least some of the tracks are a mono mixdown from the multi-tracks.

Ogre Battle is for sure - some of the lead vocal is from the first night.

It's beyond me why they didn't do it in stereo.

The Real Wizard, re:

>It's beyond me why they didn't do it in stereo.

They fear the bootlegger; why make something available in pristine quality that's not going to generate any cash. FAR better to spend time and effort making things less than perfect......

I was thinking it was QPL's idea as a teaser for an upcoming Earls Court release, though i must have been dreaming when I thought of that.

Jokes aside, it has a good sound for what it is.

Great stuff. Nice quality too. I for one am ecstatic when things like this make it out to us collector types

Simply brilliant, I really wish Queen would release this. Thank you.

Thank you for this. One of my favourites shows ever made by Queen.

Finally managed to get around to watching this footage at the weekend - wife and kids away so that cat was happy to play.

Absolutely fucking awesome. No other words to describe it really. The two shows have always been my Holy Grail since picking up a 2 cassette bootleg of the first night in Camden Market in about 1987.

There's absolutely no reason on earth WHY the two shows cannot be released in full as per the Wembley 1986 re-issue from a while back. The set lists are incredibly diverse and the band on tip top form. Microphone cuts out? Fine, how long is it for and would it detract or persuade someone not to watch further; I think not.

Come on QPL; do me a favour - just a small one and get this set out in its warts-n-all entirety - audio and video - and I PROMISE never to complain about anything you decide to do again.

^ what he said.

Their logic on quality is just so poor. The bad quality stuff from the 70s is already on youtube, and people watch it every day. And it's those exact people who would buy these shows on DVD in a heartbeat, even if they're just slightly better than what's on youtube.

I fear our boys are just out of touch with what people would pay for.
