ANNOUNCE - The Champions 1979

This is a quasi-documentary from 1979. Here's Trancer's description of the show that he lists on his ''For Sale'' page:

QUEEN THE CHAMPIONS DOCUMENTARY (VIDEO VG+/ AUDIO VG+) 48 MIN.
TV SPECIAL AIRED ON 21/12/1979

We Will Rock You (on Superman's shoulders) *, Now I'm Here*, Sweet Lady (Hyde Park), Instrumental Inferno*, Let me Entertain You*, Get Down,Make Love*, Queen Backstage '77, FM Interview '77, Crazy Little Thing Called Love w/ Live Overdubs, FM w/ Royal Ballet '79 (Bohemian Rhapsody), Bicycle Race Rehearsal, Fat Bottomed Girls*, Fat Bottomed Girls w/ live overdubs, Sheer Heart Attack*, Bohemian Rhapsody*, Tie Your Mother Down*, Queen Interview '78, Love Of My Life, We Are The Champions (Rugby version), RT interview, We Are The Champions*, God Save The Queen*, Bicycle Race. *= Live at Paris Pavillion, 27/2/79


As you can see from Trancer's description, this is largely a live special with a few band interviews mixed in for good pleasure. If I had to guess, I'd say this was actually commissioned by the band and shown in the US as a promotional special. Highlights include candid backstage moments, John in briefs, Freddie in a Jimmy Carter mask, narration by your dad, elephants, elephants, and more elephants.

I received this from a Texas lady a few years back. Haven't seen her around Queen-dom in forever, so a belated thanks to her.

This is a SVCD version. If you want it in DVD, either convert and burn yourself or pay Trancer a bloated price to do it for you. Otherwise, here is it for free.

Thanks Zeni.

I thought I had this, but the one I thought was it is actually the English doco -Champions of the World-.
