That is the perfect example of how they should NOT do it :-)

Nonsense. They showed unseen footage in the Days documentary and it looked perfectly fine.

And what do the other 8 mins contain? You've mentioned only 52 mins, but there above it said 60 mins. Mind explaining? :-)

Bad Seed wrote: Eagle vision tv is a television distribution company, this has nothing to do with the DVD and will probably just be an edited tv only version. Garbage have a concert listed on there with run times of 60 & 90 mins, the DVD release will run at almost 120 mins. I'd love to know where you get your info ghostwithasmile

Hammy was delayed because of the fact the band thought it was to short to release it as a standalone release. The show runs for 60 minutes without the encores. Though a very exciting find happened in the archives : they still lack the 2 encore tracks on video : SSOR & SWAFIB , but they found the complete soundcheck on video ! This was found after the DVD should be released !

Okay let me explain some things : Fact 1 this was a recent found : so that is wass excluded to champions of the world (1995), Rare Live (1987) , These are the Days etc.etc. is that is was RECENTLY found, that does NOT mean 1946 ;-) Imagine : The Queen Archives in London, spanning various formats from 1973- present.... Interviews , live shots by broadcasting station, filmed project etc.etc.Here you will find a picture of 1 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) 2 inch tape : http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=562865287070430&set=a.425940637429563.100406.100000408904857&type=3&theater (you need to login to Facebook for seeing the link) The size of the damn thing is about 13 inch. It's weight a couple of kilo's , about 4-6 kg.... The running time on this damn thing is about 25 minutes. Imagine a archive , with footage from 73-86 , how many of these reels will it be , let alone the 16mm. and 35mm and D1 formats etc.etc. Imagine a show like Wembley which is boxed with ALL camera angles .... You will have 100's of those reels... Hope you will get the picture : there is only 1 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) way to find out what is one those tapes : by playing it....This is a mega timerobbing job.... I have great repsect for Greg Brooks... to us he has the most exciting job in the world, but also the most boring one, seeing known footage over and over again, hoping to find something new... This will take a while before the total thing is investigated, labeled and proparly stored away for further use.... This is the reason why it is a recent find !

I'm sorry for my stupidity, but how does the photo of this reel explain the existence of the recently found Hammersmith soundcheck? This photo tells me nothing.

Forget about the photo, I just wanted to show people they can hae a idea of what a 2"inch tape looks like.The format is the same as 1"tape only the latter one is 1"inch slimmer... these were the standards when Queen had their succes. So they have a lot of these formats. I do not own any reel of the Hammy show... so I simply cannot show it.

A bit wrong. I guess you were referring to this quote from queenlive.ca, but confused it a bit: "Brian May has stated that the shows were properly filmed, but this may be due to the fact that the Live At The Rainbow film was stored on 16mm or 35mm film to be shown at cinemas in the 70s. The shows were actually shot on 2" tape. This picture reveals a typical TV camera from the time. The only concerts Queen properly filmed were the two nights in Montreal '81 and Budapest '86."

Thanks for letting us know Greg. We all hope we'll see it soon.

Here: link See entry **Sun 05 Jul 09** WHISPERING BOB Brian and Roger met Bob Harris - the guy who introduced them at Hammy 75 - and this is what Brian said: "(...) Well, we talked about that ancient night, on camera, to generate some 'bonus' footage for the DVD of the show ... now beautifully restored, and soon to be released. (...)"

We have to remember that they went to Universal and they're still dealing with the re-releases. But i'm pretty shure that Hammy 75 is lined up and that Universal and QP are aware of the fans requests for 70's concerts and will indulge us with great products in the future. Remember that for Universal is all about capitalizing on the name Queen, so i'm pretty shure that we can expect great products in the next years.

People complain about re-releases, but that's natural when they change record companies. getting wembley night 1 was a HUGE deal for me anyways. also; I see complaining about the upcoming FM tribute re-re release. I don't get that. of course they would want to have the product on the best possible medium? studio albums have been on LP, MC, CD and download.....and whatever format comes next, the catalouge will be released there too... (having said that - where are the QPR blu rays?!)

So, no sound check then in the official release. Still no real idea why anyone might think it was filmed or exists at all. Holly2003 wrote: Well done. You've posted a picture of a tape from 1977. Now, back to my point, why would they record the soundcheck when they couldn't even be bothered to record the encore? The former was never going to be aired so why record it? Now I hope you're right. For that to be the case, you would have to be informed by someone working in the archives or seen it with your own eyes. So far, you haven't claimed either of these things. Or you might be making it up, as many attention-seekers have done here in the past. I take the sensible option of not believing everything I read on Queenzone. But again, if you are right, it's a very interesting find. We will find out soon enough I suppose.
