Actually, Montreal has one of the best concert audiences. Much better than any of the crowds I've witnessed in Ontario. Then again I have really only gone to shows in Toronto and Ottawa.
People taking all these shots at Montreal probably haven't even been to a show there!
The We Will Rock You audience was lame for some reason but the same can't be said for the Jazz and Hot Space shows.

I have a copy.
Brian dropped it off when he came over for his guitar lesson.
AH, I always wondered who it was for, when he asked me to burn a copy for him ;-)
I think the WWRY audience was lame just because they (and the band) were frustrated with how they were being treated by the camera crew before the show. Obviously they didn't know the words to Love Of My Life either, but they must have liked Queen originally or wouldn't have gone to the show :)
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.
No, I'm not. I'm not saying Americans and Canadians were not responsive to Queen. They quite got into the show. But compare them to the responses of fans in Britain, The Netherlands, most of the rest of Europe, South America, and Japan. It's not quite the same.
Europe, S. America, and Japan, for example, almost all the time, could sing along to Love Of My Life. Almost the ENTIRE CROWD. It was hard to pull off such a mass singalong for a non-single track in the US or Canada.
And, like I said in my post, in 1977 Queen were pretty big in America, and actually could pack a big stadium. That's why I asked my question.
Which I will ask again, hoping it will we be answered by a more intelligent and less combative poster (and one who actually has the audio/video to this):
How responsive was the Houston 1977 audience to Queen? How much did they get into it?

Never seen the full show.. .but the WWRY clip on GVH1 doesn't particularly excite me. First of all, it looks like it was shot in widescreen but has been stretched up for fullscreen, and theres like a mask or clouding over the whole image.
Yeah there is a slight aspect ratio problem with it...it looks like they're all a little skinnier than they should be.
Did Freddie have ramps at the side of the stage during that tour? Usually he goes up on both of them during WWRY but on Houston he doesn't....

the ramps were there only for the jazz tour news
of the world tour was still recovering from the day
at the races stage setting in 1977.

I like the stage of Houston. It's not that big and the audience is really close to the stage which is nice, it has a very warm atmosphere.
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....
Unfortunately, none of Pink Floyd's 1975 and 1977 tours were filmed although shoddy 8mm film of Floyd on the 1975 and 1977 tours have emerged.

Has this been confirmed? I can't believe that Floyd didn't want to document such mind blowing spectacles.

The only PF tours filmed after Pompeii in 1971 were the band's June, 1972 Brighton Dome performance which pieces appear on the making of The Dark Side of the Moon Classic Albums DVD and some were in concert videos like Set the Controls was in a concert film and Careful With That Axe from the same show appeared in a concert video. Nick Mason and David Gilmour stated regret in not filming a 1973 or 1974 or 1975 or 1977 show and there is no filmed document of that era. The band did not film shows again until the 1980 The Wall shows in New York and London. Then the 1981 shows were filmed and Roger Waters has them in his possession and is reluctant to legally release them although they would be by now had if Gilmour had it his way.
