link This looks awesome! |

I wish I had the money to buy it. And then, professionally, transfer it to digital and post it in QueenZone. |
| BETA215 29.11.2014 21:50 |
After that, send it to Sikke to maintain it in good conditions and don't lost the tape. |

Wow, nice find. |
| pittrek 30.11.2014 06:20 |
Actually that's kind of cheap. The quality is nice too, the film was preserved well |
| Marknow 30.11.2014 10:54 |
Very interesting item, shame I blew all my monies on the upcoming tour and Live At The Rainbow. |
| Nitroboy 30.11.2014 11:04 |
Whoever ends up buying it, better not hoard it... Or share it in MPEG2 |
| Marknow 30.11.2014 11:10 |
We should do a community crowd fund on stuff like this, something like the one done for the recent Queen In Nederland project. If 50 Queenzoners donated 2 bucks each we could easily buy stuff like this and share it here. |

It's an forty year old silent cine film from a classic concert agreed. Looking at the screen shots it looks pretty poor quality to me. There is much better in the archives for sure and I really don't put much value on this to be honest. |

Some people will collect dozens of sources of a single show, no matter how good or bad. And to have the actual master reel - this opportunity doesn't come up too often. Tantalizing. |

Led Zep footage was in the archives? |
| The Real Wizard 30.11.2014 13:09 |
I'm just judging from the screenshots. Yeah, pro footage of both complete Knebworth shows has existed for ages. And the 8mm footage created quite a buzz. |

^ Screen shots sometimes give a false impression. Plus you just know it's going to be jerky and full of cuts and with no sound. Just my opinion, but like I say the whole gig is sitting in the archives. |
| The Real Wizard 30.11.2014 13:25 |
Yeah, I hear ya. But for a lot of people, every source has some kind of value. Especially when it's such an important show. |
| Barry Durex 30.11.2014 13:29 |
Eat your neighbour, rock and roll. |

Have you been inside the archives, have you actually seen the ENTIRE thing??? Judging from the screenshots, the film is in excellent condition considering it's 38-ish years old. |

I'm not saying the cine film itself isn't in good condition, I'm commenting on the probable content. |

That way it wouldn't just be one person forking out then everyone else getting it for free. Barry Durex wrote: Looking at the screen shots it looks pretty poor quality to me.

This is still a unique angle - a completely different document of the concert. I certainly think it's valuable for that reason, and still will be even if the pro-shot concert does end up coming out. |

The buy it now price is a bit steep.. I wonder how long the footage is too. |

| tomchristie22 30.11.2014 20:39 |
Hmm. Judging by the screenshots on the page, it shows a support act, then probably Bo Rhap (operatic playback and rock section) and some of Ogre Battle. |

I think both Taylor himself and Rhys Thomas have confirmed they have it. |

So this went for GBP 320,- No-one knows how long it is, if there are any copies and how the quality of the filming is. |

The quality will depend on the person holding the camera, even so mid seventies technology in a large crowd dictate a pretty basic recording I think. No sound either of course. |

Barry always states the obvious. It's safe to say that he's reliable for that and that's one thing you can always rely on a Durex for: safety ;-) |
