Knebworth - All Available Pro-Shot

Hey everyone, whilst currently working on my Knebworth Full Uncut project, I suddenly realised how much the DoRo crew actually shot on 16mm film and I am astounded how it's not been released yet, but that discussion is for another time. Be sure to let me know if I've missed anything or if one of the short snippet shots are incorrect! :P Here is a video which has every bit of pro footage I've managed to come across, here's a breakdown. 1. Footage of crowd entering the Knebworth Stadium grounds. 2. Footage of the band arriving in the helicopter. 3. Footage of Freddie warming up with Roger. 4. Footage of the band walking to the stage. 5. Footage of the near beginning of One Vision [CUT] (shot by ITV). 6. Footage of Is This The World We Created... (shot by DoRo). 7. Very short snippets of the ending of Boh Rhap (where Freddie nods his head and salutes). 8. Very short snippets of Hammer To Fall. 9. Footage of the 2nd chorus and ending of Radio Ga Ga. 10. Footage of the last 2 choruses of We Are The Champions. 11. Short footage of God Save The Queen. 12. Extremely short snippet of the stadium grounds darkening. -Chin

Don't care about the nay-sayers and never developed projects, butI'm glad ppl are still personally interested in compiling this properly


but honestly, until data sourced video renderings are achievable from a computer filter, the bootleg crowd cam is probably the only complete source for this.


now in 100 years *(or far less) someone could MAP and render the stage from existing shots and create a digitally rendered version of this concert approximating reality. ... but the real question would be, why? and does it diminish reality?

Very nice compilation. I had done something very similar last year and uploaded it to youtube. Unfortunately it was taken down. You are missing only two pieces of footage that i included in my video.


1- A snippet of the stage being built(not recorded on film but on video) - It was included on the hungarian rhapsody release. That had never been seen before. It is just a few seconds but you can tell is knebworth since on the halfway-built stage you can clearly see the jumbotron support.

2- A very short snippet filmed by doro of the begining of the concert. My money says The one vision tape was about to start, that gives the hint that doro indeed started recording from the very beginning. That camera angle is the same one that recorded the snippets of The world we created, Radio gaga and We are the champions we all have seen.

At least one camera might have recorded the whole concert. Then we have another camera angle closer to the stage and right next to tv camera and that one started recording from Bohemian rhapsody(at least the end) and on.


I wonder when the f.... are they going release whatever they have available from this concert. At least the audio would be nice to have.

Is This The World We Created from Budapest?
Although it's been a while since I've watched a lot of this - as a kid I thought that shot from the Magic Years where Freddie kicks the balloon is Knebworth but it isn't so I'm probably not the person to ask :)

Still shocking to see John throw his bass into his amps. I'd never noticed that he then runs off stage too. Poor John.

The footage of them walking towards the stage is beautiful! Can't help thinking Freddie's yellow vest clashes with his yellow jacket though haha!!

This is all great footage - thanks for assembling!

He was late for his backstage blowie because Rog milked the outro.

You can see Freddie look across at the roadie / whoever as he walks off. I'm guessing with an 'ooo look at her' expression.

Nope I stand corrected. The other angle shows concern.

@fr1986 I believe it's these shots, although I'm not 100% sure about the road crew segment after the big screen is shown, as it could be Mannheim?, if so, I could I have missed them! xD Thanks though, to everyone else, is that 100% all we have so far of Knebworth '86? :P -Chin

I'd like to ask a quick question, is this Knebworth and if so what song as I can't seem to be able to locate it. Freddie has the white jacket on so it's after Who Wants To Live Forever. It's taken from David R Fuller's YouTube channel from a video called "Queen - Magic Years (Early Cuts). Here's the short clip:  Also just worked out, this isn't Knebworth but Wembley 1st night:

Lets be honest. We want pro shot footage of the actual gig or nothing at all.

I'm getting really pissed off because i seriously just want knebworth!! Weather it's just audio idc. Obviously video would be great! Especially the Doro footage remastered. But idk I've given up hope. I JUST don't get why they don't release any of it. I just want a reason why!

Because they've released three complete shows from that tour with much better quality visual content?

Also how about the helicopter shots?? I have a question for anybody here that has actually attended to the concert that day. Does anybody know for how long the helicopter remained flying around??
I think you could hear it during under pressure in the bootleg(or it might have just been another casual helicopter passing by)

that could let us know how much of those panoramic shots might exist. There is one shot from the helicopter i recall having seen in the show must go on video.

I would gladly take this release over some of the lately crappy releases any day.

@fr1986 If you are talking about this video clip, I believe I remember Pittrek mentioning that it's actually Status Quo:
