It's always amazed me that literally not one single frame of this videoed concert has ever emerged - either as a bootleg or in an official documentary.
Has anyone ever seen any clips?
P.S. I'm hoping that at least a few songs from this gig might be used as bonus footage on the Brixton DVD that's about to be released... well I can dream on both counts!! ;-)

Maybe some footage will emerge in his forthcoming boxset.

It's predicated on a "MAYBE" which does not even SUPPOSE.
The level of knowledge on the (still POTENTIAL) release is unfounded.
I don't anticipate anything to whet the appetites of long term fans except maybe the restorationof songs not released on the original cd
I don´t see any release of Brian May this year. No Brixton and especially no box set. Brian May say´s in an interview around 1999 (I belive) he was not happy with the performance that night... so maybe the gig will never see the light of day. A shame...

Hence why we dont see other releases. Brian and Roger are so critical about their work
Again, as commented upon many years ago, this show was apparantly filmed in 3D, but the audio recording was plagued with interference from taxi drivers radios, so don't get your hopes up.
As Earwig says though, if this was the only one professionally filmed, it would be nice to see something from it.

I was there and I don't remember any filming at all, maybe there was but it certainly never stuck in the mind, unlike other Queen gigs or the Brixton gig that was very obviously fimed at the time
I walked out of the show after Brian appeared on stage in fancy dress - I couldn't believe that a true guitar genius had been reduced to this. I spent the rest of the evening at The Queen's Arms in Queensgate Mews waiting for a mate of mine who wouldn't leave.
Hopefully it remains unreleased and they put out something from the BTTL tour.

Double post
well I WAS there, and spent a good amount of time checking the outside video mobile truck unit , I have seen parts of the soundcheck on the TV monitors - so now the facts:
1/ it was directed by Rudi Dolezal (DoRo or not, who knows)
2/ with about 14-16 cameras , -probably- in HD already
3/ it looked really nice , sharp, superbly lit, nice camera angles , brian in white shirt in the middle of the stage , doing soundcheck for the acoustic part - the royal albert hall is itself very nice inside with the lights
4/ i didnt see any sign of 3D cameras or similar
As I was standing next to the above mentioned TV truck -with the 16+ control TV units inside- for about an hour in the queue, I have seen it with my own eyes .
Rudi Dolezal was there recording fans in the queue with his own handheld HD cam.
We havent seen one single shot so far, I -guess- it all ended up in Brians archive. Or Rudi's.
Maybe Brian was completely unhappy with the whole tour and theshow and no final product was ever done, only the raw tapes archived in his attic..
I remember i was thinking finally a show where I dont have to bootleg anything, plus I ended up in the first row with all the cameras near and it would have been an awesome looking professional another world video - its sad it never happened!

Umm, have you seen any of their 70s concert footage?
Brian didn't start wearing fancy outfits in the 90s.

I don't think he just meant fancy as in 'theatrical', but actually 'fancy dress' - i.e. he was disguised as his alter ego Twitty Conway, ready for Only Make Believe.
I was also right at the front of the central walkway and so am disappointed none of the footage has emerged yet. I recall that a few weeks before the gig I got a letter from the ticket agency stating that Brian had decided that the originally all seated gig would be filmed, and so would I mind now standing instead.

Oh you fashion boy!
I went for the music, not Brian's taste, or lack of as you wish, in fashion....
It was my first concert ever (Brian 98) so I might be biased. But I loved every minute of it.
