Bob Harris - News Of The World (OGWT Documentary Compilation - UPDATED)

This is brilliant ChinWonder. Thanks so much for your efforts in putting this together.

Thank you, Chinwonder, for your expertise in putting all of this together. We all appreciate your time and effort.

Just to clarify and so I'm not being stupid, these are the bits you're referring to. To your knowledge, this is Houston: This is Atlanta: And this is in the Shepperton Studios: So that would mean this footage is in Houston to: Also, now that this has been pointed out, the footage of the band entering the dressing room is actually Atlanta? This throws a bit of a spanner in the works, because we don't know exactly which nights they filmed what in, it'll be impossible to know where each shot is taken from. Unless some in-depth sleuthing is done. -Chin

Just picked up on something here, there's a very small clip of colour of the 'Atlanta' soundcheck, and Freddie's wearing that same brown jacket. However, in the background of one of the shots, you can see some sort of camera. Now, is this Houston? haha. -Chin

Also again (sorry for the spam of replies), during the GSTQ clip which is 100% from Houston, Dave is in a black shirt walking Freddie down the corridor, whereas before he's in the white shirt in the dressing room, here's a few more screenshots of what I think, let me know your thoughts: During the dressing room (white T-Shirt): This one is 100% from Houston: Dave & Freddie down the corridor with a dark blue/navy jumper: Dressing room after the show with Dave in a white T-Shirt: Dave blowdrying Freddie's hair which is from Houston as he's wearing the same black T-Shirt and cream/white trousers from the GSTQ shot: So from what I can see, there are 3 different nights here, so one is possibly Atlanta, one is 100% Houston and the other is maybe Fort Worth or Las Vegas? Guesses are Blue jumper (the very short clip) = Atlanta White T-Shirt = Fort Worth (or Las Vegas?) Black T-Shirt = Houston 100% -Chin

Now, is this Houston? haha.

Back in 2011 this was reported to be Houston, but in the 2017 documentaries it was suddenly The Omni. I never understood why

During the dressing room (white T-Shirt):

This one is 100% from Houston:

Dave & Freddie down the corridor with a dark blue/navy jumper:

Dressing room after the show with Dave in a white T-Shirt:

Dave blowdrying Freddie's hair which is from Houston as he's wearing the same black T-Shirt and cream/white trousers from the GSTQ shot:

So from what I can see, there are 3 different nights here, so one is possibly Atlanta, one is 100% Houston and the other is maybe Fort Worth or Las Vegas?

Guesses are

White T-Shirt = Atlanta
Black T-Shirt = Houston 100%
Blue jumper (the very short clip) = Fort Worth or Las Vegas

-Chin

So it really starts to look like the backstage footage from BEFORE the concert is NOT Houston (together with the bit of We Will Rock You shot from behind), but the backstage footage from AFTER the concert IS Houston? I love puzzles :-)

I'm gonna export a short segment (just the 'On Tour' chapter) and see what you guys see what I've done :)

This is Atlanta:

OK, this is getting fascinating.

The SAME brick walls, the SAME fire extinguisher, the SAME people, but DIFFERENT Freddie trousers, and DIFFERENT Freddie "jacket"? They didn't spend 2 nights at the same venue, did they? Or can it be that one shot is from before the concert and one is after the concert? My head hurts.

And I apologize - the title of this thread is killing me - "documenantry" - I know, I'm an annoying grammar nazi :-)

Fixed haha

Also, I realise I made a mistake there with the t-shirt analysis that you quoted. I meant that

Blue jumper (the very short clip) = Atlanta
White T-Shirt = Fort Worth (or Las Vegas?)
Black T-Shirt = Houston 100%

-Chin

Here's what I think it should be now, the video is still processing but it should be ready to view shortly. All opinions welcome! -Chin

Looking at the arena, I think that the equipment packing is from a different concert than the soundcheck

This is a photo from The Omni Coliseum - 2 decades later, but it looks a bit like the "packing the equipment" footage was shot there, but not the soundcheck

Maybe the soundcheck is from Houston, which might explain the camera in the background.
