Just shared on the official YouTube channel :)
Does anyone know where this came from. I remember seeing this at a friend's house in Connecticut in the late 70's.

Finally something special on their channel. I hope it's a teaser for something special.
Ah...
if only i still had my PC with editing software

The first two minutes scream out for "air raid sirens and loud speaker propaganda, bomb explosions and machine gun fire"
"Come tonight! Come see the Overbite! Come to Ogre Battle, FIGHT!"
This is great footage and fantastic quality too. Anyone know what night it's from, there's 4 nights and only 1 audience recording :(

Hopefully, this is a sign of great things to come!

Here's a download for anyone who'd like it:

Most comments are very positive though!

I'm very surprised that Queen uploaded stuff like this.
wonderful share :)
I'm going to upload a quick audio version that I've created using the 2nd night's audience recording. This isn't great but I think it's a good stepping stone for those who'd do better than me haha. Who knows which night this footage belongs to because some of the audio doesn't match up 100% even after being speed-corrected. This is my first attempt at this kind of task, so constructive criticism is of course welcome! I also for the life of me couldn't figure out the last segment and which song it belonged to (sorry, '76 isn't a goto year for me live). Enjoy this preview here: -Chin

You're bang on through 1:10. Until 1:25 it's the transition into the Son And Daughter reprise, and until 1:29 it's the final fanfare of the song.

Most of the White Queen clips are right. At 1:50 it's maybe a one second gap, as this is Freddie walking to the piano for the second verse.

Here's a better version, although I can't figure out these other two clips attached below. The last one is definitely during the encores as Freddie has his black leotard on. -Chin
