sorry for clickable link...

Thanks so much. They claim to have a lot more Freddie and Queen footage. They must bought a large amount of footage from ABC. You can see in the ABC sign apear when they run out of film half way through the interview. Interesting

Nice to see that now everybody can enjoy the full 20 minute interview. Freddie talks about a documentary being made (Bob Harris) and he holds the News Of The World which was just released.
He also talks about an award from the best british single from 1952 to 1977 being Bo Rhap. We all know the footage in which Freddie swings with his award.

I watched this early this morning, and I loved it. I've never seen it before.
What great respect and admiration that these two had for each other...I just want to give Barcelona a spin now. I shall do just that.

Yuk! Look at that logo.... Chief Mouse You seen this bud ?

It seems rumours of Hyde Park's release have been around since 1977 :(

Freddie's worst hair :-(

Wait, Freddie went to Australia just to promote the album? If I remember correctly there were no gigs there between 1975 and 1985.

Thank you so much for sharing! :)

They played several shows in Australia in 1976. And yes, I didn't know either they came to Australia in 1977 just for interviews.

Nevertheless, it is a fascinating interview. It is not so often that Freddie Mercury is so open to discuss the band work.

I recall seeing parts of this interview with Freddie somewhere.Freddie talks about Somebody to LOve. Wasn't it in the last docu about their tour in 1977 NEws of the World??

At around the 10.55 mark Molly says "I remember being over here last time" so it sounds like he went to Britain to do the interview.

He says at the end "You've got to remember to come down to Australia soon"

In the interview from 1985, Molly mentioned that they made the 1977 interview in John Reid's office.
