This isn't much, I know, but it's a start... 60-second radio ad for the Queen concert on November 4, 1978, at the Lakeland Civic Center in Lakeland, Florida. First few seconds of the ad are missing. The radio ad doesn't mention the year, but according to QueenConcerts.com they only played two shows in Lakeland and the 1978 show was on a Saturday. link 98Rock was (and still is) an FM radio station in Tampa, Florida, which is about 30 miles from Lakeland. Found this tape (with 3 others) about 15 years ago in the bottom of a box on the floor in a great record store in Tampa, FL. The other tapes had some Queen rarities (Larry Lurex, Smile, etc.) and some interviews on them recorded, I think, off the air, including a Midnight Special appearance from TV (audio only, of course). I haven't found the other tapes yet. Anyone else have any Queen radio ads?

Also, the Dutch 1979 Brian interview sounds new to me, though it may be that I have it listed as something else. Any further info is greatly appreciated.

Didn't have a chance to listen to it yet, sorry.

This is a very short interview of Brian in what sounds like a night club. Don't know if it was originally a TV interview or not. Can't find it on youtube. He's first asked about the "quite a different record (Crazy Little Thing Called Love) than the other Queen records. Why is that?" Then asked if the rest of the album will sound like that? "We have 6 or 7 tracks in the can... they all sound quite different... next single will be a little bit back to the original Queen style... called "Save Me"... going back into the studio in February... album out in early summer, hopefully" Flash Gordon "under discussion at the moment... we hope to do it, I think it will be exciting" One more question, when will Queen perform in Holland again? "It's hard to know, buy we're talking about putting another European tour together..." "Thank you for giving us another gold, uh, platinum disc with "Crazy Little Thing". That's amazing, we appreciate it very much..." Interview ends with Brian saying "Thank you Dutch folks, you're great to us, we'll be back soon."
