List of all Queen video

Hey there,
as a compulsive listmaker I've toyed with this for a couple of weeks. I couldn't find a list of all still existing Queen footage. Not just concerts, the ideal concept is to list every time the band or one of it's members stepped in front of a rolling camera, so to speak. (or in some cases their music played under "official" circumstances) :)

Does anyone care to contribute what they are aware of. I'm sure there is much to discover? By now, I've made it to 1984 at which point it's getting a little complicated. My goal is to make a pdf or html as a reference guide for fans/collectors, with screen shots and detailed information, similar to this website on Beatles footage: http://www.beatlesondvd.com/home.htm

Compiled with the indispensable help from queenlive.ca, queenconcerts.com, many many trading lists, youtube and of course the queenzoners.

Nicely done !

All I can add at this point is that these two items are actually the same footage.

Killer Queen from Avro Toppop was shot 11-22-74 at the Bellevue Theater in Amsterdam. There are 2 versions the known one with the blocks. And a chromo-key screen version which wasn't broadcasted

"1975-07-24 - Blankenberge, Blankenberghe, Belgium (Gouden Leeuwen Festival) 
- Belgian Award Show broadcasted on television. Some report hint at "Killer Queen" being mimed. "

They only recieved the award they did not do a ilve or a mimed version of Killer Queen. Since this was a live broadcast on the BRT (VRT) no tapes were loaded into the camera's

I always wonder whether the Bob Harris crew filmed the short gig after the WATC video shoot. I always feel like this was a logic thing to do since they were making the documentary and since this was a great and easy way to get some good live footage.

1979-02-11 Munich, Rudi-Sedlmeyer-Halle

1979-04-25 (?) Tokyo, Nippon Budokan - Love Of My Life Promo
"The Love Of My Life promo video presents a curious situation. While the Live Killers audio of the song was used, it seems that most of the video footage comes from Japan, as Freddie is seen wearing his blue suspenders. But since the band didn't perform the song at this concert, it's reasonable to suggest that the footage was shot during the day, since the film crew was already there to be utilized. Note that there is never a genuine shot of Freddie or Brian with the audience at the same time. However, since the video shooting isn't mentioned in the itinerary, then perhaps the video shoot took place on April 23rd or 24th. Either way, it can be safely said that Japanese footage was predominantly used for the Love Of My Life promo video, and some bits of footage from Paris are woven in. There are a few shots from the April 24 show as well." - www.queenlive.ca

Now wait a moment. There are 2 or 3 audience 8mm shot, but they're all from the concert, not pre-concert footage (OK, one contains clips from also other bands before Queen). So if you are talking about the "standard" pre-concert footage, what's the source for the 8mm claim if I can ask?
