F*ck private collectors... they are the cancer of the giant bands.... always wanting stuff for themselfs, disrespecting the band wishes and fans desires.Private collectors should deliver the stuff they stole to the bands to make it available to the fan community!
its true - actually i hear a DVD is coming, as QP managed to buy back the master tape! I also hear from "reliable sources" that Sunbury 74 might be the extra DVD - although the footage might not be up to standard for release.
Sorry to burst your bubble but your relyable source to full of it!

How do you think studio quality versions of 'Self-Made Man', 'My Secret Fantasy', 'Robbery', 'Polar Bear', demos from The Miracle, Innuendo, and Hot Space, 'Silver Salmon', 'Feelings Feelings', and 'Feel Like' (to name but a few) got out? Do you think that was because Queen Productions kindly said, "Ah, so this is what the people want!"?

According to Brian's recent comment on his site, no audio feed was set up at the Knebworth gig (basically a mistake on somebody's part) so it has gone forever. As I said, this is according to Brian but we can always live in hope that something was captured. I'd definitely like to see the footage at least, as I was at the gig. Happy days.......
Cheers,

Like I posted in the other topic about knebworth.What about the footage from the freddie mercury inserts on the tribute dvd?there is footage on there that was shown on the big screens so they must have at least the big screen footage.How can they otherwise put it on that tribute dvd? That could still be a cool extra on the budapest dvd:-)

HTH

Actually, technically, there is footage of the concert, but only by somebody who shot the big screen showing the concert. So if you want to see the concert so bad then just get that, decent video quality, very good audio for audience recording

Fuck it Lester - some people will NEVER understand.
They all want their stuff NOW NOW NOW!
No, we cannot wait for that recording to help unearth even MORE material... we want it NOW!!

Private collectors are the LIFEBLOOD of the collecting comunity.
It is because of them that interest in live material started. Had the first Dylan bootleg not been released at the end of 1969, we may never have had the interest in live material that exists now.
Bands play live so that their audience can experience them NOW and IN THE PRESENT. Concerts were not, in essence, played to be listened to 30 years hence.
Just because someone holds on to a recording of a show that other people would like them to hear does not make them evil, does it. They are just lucky to be able to have the recording. Giving it back to the band's management would not necessarily necessitate an official release either - it would just mean that it would go from one "collection" to another.
More power to the private collectors in my view - long may they reign an hold on to what they have!
