Anyone know for sure which gigs were shot on 35mm (or 70mm) film? Any of the South America ones from 81? Or were they shot on tape..
Little bird also tells me Montreal was shot on 70mm, not 35?

Thanks.

Rainbow 74 - shot on videotape, but later transferred to 35mm
Hyde Park 76 - the aerial shots and the pre-concert shots are definitely film, the concert itself tape
Houston 77 - the Bob Harris crew filmed "something"
Montreal 81 - both nights were shot on 70mm
Live Aid 85 - "something"
Wembley 86 - the stuff we got on DVD was shot on tape, but a lot of the backstage footage + "something" from the concert was shot on film by DoRo
Knebworth 86 - at least the second half was shot on film by DoRo + lots of backstage stuff

Plus there are all the TV reports from the late 70's - early 80's, too many to list from memory.

South America 81 was definitely the weird PAL-NTSC video hybrid they had then

The Rainbow '74 show from March had some bits shot on 16mm.

Are we sure about the Bob Harris footage and the Montreal + DoRo stuff? Wouldn't the first and latter be 16mm as well, with Montreal being 35mm (as stated in the booklet)?
Someone prove me wrong, because I'd love it to be "upgraded" ;D

According to Saul Swimmer, Montreal was shot double anamorphic (if memory serves right) on 35mm and then blown up to 70mm. Actual 70mm wasn't normally used for actual filming as I know. It would have been 65mm negative in such case.

TV reports - Poitiers 79, Zurich 82. Probably some others too. Whatever we have of Munich 79 was film. Those 1977 segments in Japanese Jewels programme.

I forgot Tokyo 75. A surprising amount of the last concert was filmed, wonder how much of it still exists.
And Rotterdam 77? What the hell are you talking about guys? In the case you are talking about Rottedam 79 isn't it film?
Vienna 82 (and Frankfurt 82) were shot on film too, but it's hard to say if they shot whole concerts or just a few bits

Oh yeah, Tokyo 75 would be 16mm as well. Same with Rotterdam 79 I presume.
Rotterdam 77 was featured in Sikke's Dutch documentary
