ANNOUNCE: Freddie Interviews (1984-ish)

I only now just noticed this and would love to see it but no one currently seems to be seeding. Could someone please seed this? thanks

thanks to whoever helped out. My d/l finished this morning. Haven't watched all the clips yet but great see FM from that era. I actually vaguely remember seeing that second clip way back when it was originally aired. It brings back lots of memories of being young and having weird ideas of what these rock star type people were all about.

Kind of funny story that just came to mind. I remember when I first noticed Queen, which was I think the We Will Rock You video, probably around 1977, I thought that Freddie reminded me of John Travoltas character on the show Welcome Back Kotter (Vinnie Barbarino) lol. Something about his look and the attitude in the WWRY vocals. I don't know, seems pretty absurd to try and make that connection now but it made enough sense back then. It's funny the way a 6 year old views the world. Imagine Freddie in Saturday Night Fever and Grease instead of JT...heheh.

Billicat, now you're done, would you be so kind to seed this for a while?. Thanks,

of course. I'm currently seeding quite a few Queen related things that I've found thru this site. I try and leave them up for awhile after they complete or until traffic slows down.

But are you seeding this one?.I see nobody there!

I think he said he's working on several things. :)

I trust that this will be one of them?

I hope?

We just had a service guy come out and connect our phones to our internet. I had to shut the computer down while he was doing his thing.

I don't know why but this torrent seems to be going very slow. Earls Court and Uniondale 1977 have been moving pretty fast so it's probably not a firewall issue or anything like that...at least not on my end. Anyhow for the most part it'll be up and running for the next few days or so.

(any chance of rapidshare?)

I put the first three interviews up on rapidshare in one large 97mb file.

Would it have been better to put them up seperately? Let me know what would be prefered and I'll try and get the rest of them up within the next day or two. This is actually my first time uploading anything to rapidshare so I'm still figuring things out.

please upload all the interviews on rapidshre

Thanks, Billycat, I'm still at 0%:((, but I hope tomorrow I can get som percentage of this torrent downloaded. Thanks.:))

You are a gem! Separately would be good. (Because of my being on dial-up). <<whine>>

Also because I have a tendendy to lose my connections on these really long downloads. <<whine>>

And...a question...when asked whether I'd like open, save, and to what file, it says that this is an unknown file type... (?) It is wmv, or something else...? Would love wmv.

Sheesh - I'm so demanding.

Thanks!

I got one more interview up for ya. 8 to go

I have to go out for awhile but I'll get the rest up over the next couple days. I will also keep the torrent running.

The first file I uploaded was compressed into a .rar file which can be opened with a program called Winrar. The videos themselves are .mpg (mpegs) files. They should play in most players I would think. I don't know how to reformat them.

happy to help out

thanks again to the original poster

Yes!

And thanks, billycat.

~~~sigh~~~

Sure enough - after **7 hours** of downloading that first huge file, I lost my connection - at 94%. I guess I'll try again tomorrow.

Can anyone make that first huge file smaller? Separate them?

I'm so frustrated...

Thanks.
