Brilliant footage, thanks! I'd love to know how many similar goodies are in the TV station archives all over the world[/QUOTE]

Just a note as someone who has worked in a TV station archive.

For video the main problem is that the tapes were reusable so I guess a lot of stuff has just been erased to save money and archive space. Film is of course better since it is not reused but there is still the problem of space and then the danger of throwing out material when you don't have equipment to view it any more.

Nice multi-cam footage... I think 3 different cameras? Shame about the line running vertically down but that could be removed perhaps?
Thanks for sharing!!

Just realized, this was on the day I was born.

Thanks for the mega link! Absolutely great footage.

Thank you all for putting the source link!

These are the gems that the fans crave for. Bloody amazing!

Awesome!

Nice to see something new these days!

Fantastic footage!

Excellent Footage!!

And thank you Chin for sharing :)

Can Chief upgrade this footage a bit?

MERCI BEAUCOUP

Amazing that this nearly 40 year old footage suddenly pops up.

Never seen video of Brian in that outfit at the end of WWRY - just marvellous.

I may be wrong, but at 2:45 - 2:52, it looks like a bit of the transition part of from the guitar solo to the opera section of Bohemian Rhapsody.[/QUOTE]

i think i heard john singing into the mic at around 4:50-4:53... i've never heard brian sound like that and it clearly couldn't be freddie or roger.[/QUOTE]

Good observations, both of you - you're bang on.

There's also a little editing mistake I've just noticed, around 3:13 when Freddie sings "but I've come through". It looks as if they've spliced the footage just as Freddie finishes the line (look at Freddie playing the piano) :) -Chin
