Thanks for a great video experience.

But, you know... Who needs rare stuff when the Queen team can release a new GH compilation with a never seen picture on the cover?
Who wants to enjoy some demos when you can buy WWRY and some other hits again in 100 diferent ways?

Haaha - check out on 21 mins exactly when Freddie breaks the sword and it nearly takes Brian's eye out! Classic.

Great video too. Lovely to see from this point of view.

Nice find and cheers to the uploader!

Superb, best Queen related item for very long time....
I wonder though, shame Mr Brooks doesn't comment on stuff like this? Or is he too busy crying whilst telling Tori Amos stories.....

Is Phil on QZ?[/QUOTE]

I doubt it. Judging by his story he's not really a big Queen fan - but who knows. Anything's true when it's written on the internet, right?

He makes it sound like he was working at the shoot or was friends with someone working at it, but he created a YouTube account just to upload this footage. Not to mention the poor English, getting the date wrong, spelling "Freddy's" name wrong - draw your own conclusions.

The quality has been purposely degraded, and it's watermarked. We can be pretty sure the uploader has little intention of releasing a better quality copy.

Yeah agree, all that makes sense.

AMAZING!!!! wonder why QPL never release stuff like this. It's totally worth buying.

Good eye !! Most people would've missed that (I sure did).

So a couple thoughts, now that I've watched through most of this:

a) the wind blowing machine is ridiculously loud (and, let's face it, it's 95% meant for Brian's hair)

b) there's not a chance in hell that the filmer is a member of the crew - so many of the shots are dodgy, and the obvious need to be covert is no different from security ducks at a concert (at 17:43 that hand in front of the lens says he was busted)

That said - this is still f&cking amazing footage.

^ Agreed

I can't remember the last time I saw two minutes of unseen footage let alone a full half hour. A real treat but undoubtedly we'll wait a long time for something else like this.

Made me watch the start of Highlander last night rather than marking exams!!!

Great stuff! I wonder if the sword breaking incident was the seed that started Brian's curse?

I love this!

Oh how i wish Queen productions would release something like this. I would PAY for it.

Here's a good question - if this WAS released officially (say an easter egg on a new Greatest Flix package, would we be OK with the 30 minutes being whittled down to say a 10 minute highlight reel? Perhaps even tidied up so during the performances bits we'd hear the actual song rather than the ambient room sound?

Which also suggests someone clever might like to have a go at cutting a new video for the complete song using the best bits from this.
