Nice sleuthing.


Great to see the whole 77 interview out there - it's a goodie.

The most interesting thing is probably where Mercury says the first album only took about four weeks to record.

"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."

Thanks! I meant to type 1976 :D What a shame that there was no minitour Down Under in 1977!

This is their website, and a search for Queen brings up quite a lot of results. I'm most interested about the Silent Concert B-Roll - 1977-05-17 (Rotterdam 1977), and a lot of material from 1979 which could be the various Brussels, Rotterdam stage footage.

Nicely done. TYMD from Rotterdam 77 is in there too - that's good news.

The 1-14-78 broadcast is WWRY from Houston.

I wonder if their Brussels/Rotterdam 79 clips are longer than what was broadcast?

Hopefully so, I sent a little email to inquire if they could upload another Queen video to the YouTube channel. So, fingers crossed ;)

Excellent.

The Rotterdam 77 footage is by far the most interesting thing on the list. That's gotta get out.

Thank you for the link! Interviews are always so very interesting!

Never seen this before. This is a great interview.!

Sorry to bring up old threads, but according to this video I ran into by QOR's channel, a timecoded version of the interview also exists at somewhere around the internet so I'm not sure if a VHS copy was shared here before at its entirety which i highly doubt. skip to 3:39 or 4:44
