No, it's not a bootleg - it's a copy of the professionally filmed concert but it's a badly converted copy. A bootleg would be an illegally filmed audience video.

So, the copy I have of the single camera footage from the show isn't a bootleg?
Or the copy of The Who's professionally shot show at The Summit in '75 isn't a bootleg? Or their professionally shot performances at Detroit 2000, Jones Beach 2000 etc.......?
They have a "copy" of the edited pro-shot show.

The copy I saw on the convention was not shot with a single camera. It was a professionally filmed concert with various cameras used and also professionally cut. I never heard about this single camera version you are talking about.
The full film is EXACTLY the same quality - it was filmed by the same team of cameramen - I know for certain because a friend of mine that lives in California was one of that team and he retained a copy of the complete show for his personal use - he was on the camera that was used to shoot Brian's side of the stage and also has the single camera footage of Brian from that night. I've been treated to evenings at his house to view it all and it's bloody good stuff, but certainly not as good IMO as Earls Court - the colour is not quite as sharp either.
It's amazing the wealth of footage he kept - some great bands.
Any chance of listing some of those other bands he filmed, which reside in his private archives?
What Benn is trying to say is that the footage his friend shot on that night from Brians' side of the stage was edited in later with the other camera angles from that night. THis would be interesting footage to see. My cousin Joe was their lighting designer for this tour and the Jazz tour. He designed the crown along with Stickells help. I try and find any footage of these tours and send them to him. He'd love the Houston footage if it ever gets released.
Out of curiousity, to those who own the videos and/or audio (or who have seen them)--how responsive is the crowd to Queen? I know that America was (2nd only to Canada) the least responsive country to their songs, especially when it came to singing along. They'd join in for BoRhap, and WWRY/WATC, nothing else, really. But, yeat again, in 1977 Queen were at their zenith in America, and Texans are usually responsive (and passionate) about anything they are interested in. Just curious.
I think I can answer this question after night at the opera came out queen stil had it royal feedback
during 1977 and people still were in that phase of
the album.

As a question for people that have the show does

QueenZeppelin - You know that America was (2nd only to Canada) the least responsive country to their songs, especially when it came to singing along.
I am guessing you base your study on the classic We Will Rock You concert. Or maybe you were witness to all American and Canadian Queen shows.

Freddie changes leotard during the operatic section.
Other bands fimed during that period were all the classic groups really:
The Stones
The Who
Queen
Zeppelin
Thin Lizzy
Bad Company
The Eagles
And the archive goes back to something like '73 when he first started filming - it's a truly awesome sight being amongst all those great performances....

Don't forget KISS Benn. They were filmed over two nights in September of 77 in Houston as well. Good shows.
I never really cared for KISS - I would imagine that they were great to see live, but other than that, there was never really any substance to their music......

I was not witeness to those concerts but I have the entire collection of those live recordings so so I can hear for myself that america responded in 1977
the way they did. it also depends on the number of
recordings you have

I take offense to that comment about Canada.
Not ALL Canadians are like that in concerts.
Queen should've filmed WWRY somewhere in Ontario or one of the Western provinces (Alberta calling...), because the Quebeckers (*or the people in the province of Quebec, where Montreal is) ruin a lot of things for the rest of us Canadians in a lot of ways, especially image-wise. (But what do you expect for a province that wants nothing to do with Canada?)
Mind you, not ALL Quebeckers are all bad; I've met a few of them last week who came to play with my school's concert band (it was a blast). Of course, these people were from a more English region of Quebec, because most of Quebec is mainly French (language and culture-wise).
