Regarding the Stormtroopers In Stilettos exhibition... a few things to look for... Now I'm Here is not TOTP. It's from an Xmas edition of '45 and it was a significant find in the archive. Not every tape in the vault is quite what it seems when it's eventually investigated, that's why it took so long to come to light. A similar thing happened in the Bob Marley archive I recall... archivists finding tapes containing things NOT noted on the box. These things happen.... especially when you're dealing with thousands of items, many undated and/or not written up properly. You will also see at the SiS exhibition very significant footage from a soundcheck at Shepperton studios, of.... get this... Freddie playing drums and Roger playing BMs gtr!!! It's great stuff. Probably on YouTube/Facebook as I speak. That's inevitable! As is the Houston soundcheck - really lovely stuff!!. Yes, I know that's 1977, but dont ask why it's there and I'll tell you no lies. Look very closely at the SiS screens, and check out all the audio closely too. There are some great things there. The Tom Browne 1977 interview with all 4 band members... you got to hear it ALL, if you haven't already. Perfect sound too. Some unseen photos too, all over the place... Really stunning. AND new quotes from the band from recent interviews. Yes there is SSOR from TOTP, an amalgamation comp... but the 3 (not 2) individual versions are there ALSO, to see in full. They are fab! Hence the SSOR V1, V2, V3, V4 thing I saw here last night. There is not as much memorabilia as I wanted, Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! and double Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! before you all jump on that like many attendees also have, but that's a long and tedious story. All I can say is that I took along a huge amount of stuff which BM generously authorised, and RT too, but it wasnt possible to display it all!! You've seen the size of the cases, right??? What is there, though, is nice stuff that Brian collected so lovingly during this early period. And there are Roger items you'll love too - some really nice bits - though I'm not sure which pieces did NOT make it!!!! Again, don't ask. "less is more" was the phrase of the day while we set it up. My phrase of the day was instead, "Say that again and I'll break your nose!" Look out for Smile acetates of Earth and Polar Bear and Step On Me. And a great acetate with 'Here I Am' written on it, instead of 'Now Im Here'. How great is that!!! IF you can spot it in the case on the floor. God help you if you have a bad back or legs, or are otherwise physically restricted! Ask someone to dangle you by your ankles; that'll work. SiS is seriously worth taking in... unseen photos, audio, video, costumes, nostalgia, Freddie drawings and samples... And much more. There were 2,000 people there on day 1, and 1,000 today, with 5 hours still to go. But it's a big enough venue to not be overly squashed in. Plenty of space. Hot space. RED Hot, in the case of the SHA album. Check out the hospital bed and the story imparted on its blankets. There is much to take in. I'd say you'll need 3 hours to do it anywhere near properly. Yes you can use cameras, and, believe it or not, camcorders too!!! And no hint of "PROPERTY OF QUEEN PRODUCTIONS". Everyone asks Gary and I... "Why is there no program or t-shirt?" Good question. No good answer. I think this has to be addressed and surely will be. But, 3000 people have already been and gone, so it's a bit galling I know. We're pushing for this to be rectified. Enjoy!!! GB |

Nice to see you back on here Greg. It certainly was good at the exhibition. Unfortunately, all but one of the laptops weren't working, so no-one got to see a lot of the footage or listen to the remastered albums. It would also have been a great place to promote the new download single. Apart from that I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope that people outside of the UK will get to see these things too. |

| Queen Archivist 27.02.2011 19:01 |
Now I am confused!!! Gary Taylor, Jim Jenkins and I discussed this in detail on Friday. There was talk of BBC seen written on a camera, and various other details, and I really cannot recall now where we ended up at. We went round the houses with all kinds of recollections, but I do agree the Cockney Rebel footage backdrop looks to be the same. I really could have sworn we concluded '45 over TOTP. I'll check with GT & JJ again, but you're right, this does seem the same. Watch this space! |
| Queen Archivist 27.02.2011 19:11 |
There are clips from BOTH. TOTP and from Granada's '45. That explains it. After the fortnight I've had, I'm all Queened out!!!! |

Greg, Did you read the post of Sir GH on the other tread. According to the pics there must be three versions around of NIH from TOTP? Agreed? Sir GH quote: Incredible stuff... thanks for filming and getting this footage out there. If I had the money I'd be crossing the pond to see the exhibition myself, but this is a close enough second ! So Brian is playing a Les Paul, the only such footage in existence. So I guess this means there are three versions of Now I'm Here then? There are also these two... are they both from Now I'm Here TOTP video shoots too? link link ===== Are these all in the archive? |

It's pretty easy to see that the soundcheck footage is NOT from Houston. You can see the backstage exit door in the footage - no arena holding 15,000 people is designed like this, sorry! |

I personally doubt that some of the backstage footage is Houston because the Houston footage we're used to seeing has the guy working on Freddie's shoes is wearing a white shirt but in this new footage he's not wearing that shirt. I think it was green. Same guy, different shirt = different venue. Didn't they do a test shoot in Fort Worth the gig before Houston? |
| Jazz 78 28.02.2011 18:07 |
Sorry, the guy was wearing a black shirt brushing Freddie's hair. In Houston he was wearing the white one and fixing the ballet shoes for him. |

Just to add my bit here, and after a full week working at the exhibition, I can add more detail. First of all, the first couple of days did have problems with the individual computers that were around the exhibition....a call out to Dolby, have now put this to right and you can enjoy full concerts from: the Rainbow Theatre on the 19th, including the encore, Earls Court on 6th June 1977, Hyde Park 1976 and the whole of the 'Now I'm Here' footage from either TOTP of 45 (which is still under debate) and many clips from other concerts. The rehearsal footage you see as part of the Bob Harris filmed section, and described by GB above, was filmed at Shepperton Studios prior to the band's second tour of the USA. The soundcheck footage is from Houston. |
| pittrek 01.03.2011 04:21 |
FULL concerts ? Wow. I REALLY hope it gets released properly for those of us who can't get to UK to watch it :-( |
| Cruella de Vil 01.03.2011 04:33 |
Here here to a proper release of all these snippets and full concerts (sigh). I don't see this great initiative making it's way to Sydney or any other part of Australia, or the rest of the world either. How about a DVD/interactive CD Rom of the whole Stormtroopers in Stilettos exhibition? Anyway, thanks to all who have contributed to allow those of us who can't be there, to have some idea of what is going on and yes, get excited about Queen as we once did when we were teenagers however long ago that might be. |

I sure hope they come to the USA! I mean how could one not visit Portland,Oregon? I would travel half way cross the country just to see this Exhibition [don't get me wrong]. I would be there all day taking pictures, listening to the remasters, watching all the concert[ and additional concert footage]. This is like a dream come true. If I really have to, I'll sell an entire arm and a leg just to catch a glimpse of Freddie's art examples [myself wanting to major in art/graphics]. |

"I don't see this great initiative making it's way to Sydney or any other part of Australia, or the rest of the world either.

Question for Greg Just came out of the exhibition, one question, are the drums on display a set of Roger's or where they put together for the exhibition? The sizes are correct but the hardware and snare are not, for example the two floor toms are hanging toms, Roger has never used those as far as I am aware, and the snare is a black beauty metal one not his normal wooden snare. As the kit is basically the same but rather well used shall we say I wondered if it was from a collector or a queen tribute band? the kit looks a little bit like it's had a hard life, yet it doesn't seem to be a kit that Roger took on tour Is it just a representation of a genuine Roger Taylor kit? Many thanks |

Hello, Just back from London after spending 4.5 hours at the exhibition. It worth every minute! I just want to mention a few things about the videos. Rainbow complete - but Mono (I saw a few minutes just to check the quality) Hyde Park - Only the first 10 mins (Opening with the last part of Rhapsody + Ogre Battle) Again, good image quality but Mono. Now the surprise (at least for me!) Earls Court 6.6.77 complete, with average image quality (same as the copy I use to download from this site a couple of years ago) but GLORIOUS STEREO SOUND! As you can use the mousepad to move through the video I looked for WhiteMan/Prophet Song.... what a big pleasure hearing Freddie voice solo in full Stereo. Then I checked White Queen and is the copy we all know, only Brian's Camera is working. Do you know if a stereo copy of the Earls Court video is circulating? If that is old news, I am sorry, but for me that was one of the highlights of the exhibition! :-) |

Many thanks Hello there AC30. I'm sorry, I'm no drums expert, but I do know (I heard today) that aspects of the drumkit will be changed asap. I'm not sure of the detail, but certain things you mention ring bells. I think if you look again in a few days, certain detail will satisfy you more. But... generally... YES they are Roger's drums, lent especially for this exhibition, NOT a representation. This aspect is being addressed so watch that space! |
| Benn 02.03.2011 00:41 |
Greggy-weggy, re: >I'm sorry, I'm no drums expert, but I do know (I heard today) that aspects of the drumkit will be changed asap More smoke and mirrors - why did the exhibition contain a display that, patently, wasn't what it is purported to be? Hoodwinking the less informed yet again. You'd have thought that the miraculous changing of the setlist for the Montreal release would have been a lesson learnt. |
| AC30 02.03.2011 03:08 |
Thanks Greg I will pop back next week to take another look, being a keen drummer and owner of an identical Ludwig Silver Sparkle kit to Roger's 1980 version I am somewhat picky about his kits over the years Interesting exhibition I enjoyed looking round, I hope you do another one of the later years sometime |
| cmsdrums 02.03.2011 06:33 |
Nice points AC30 about the drum kit - I visited on Saturday and was a little frustrated at the drum set up - yes, Roger used that (or similar?) Ludwig chrome finish kit in early/mid 80s, but I got the impression that the set up intention was to mimic a typical set up in the early 70's studio scenario and he certainly (to my knowledge) never used that kit then. Just as putting a Les Paul/Fender in place of Brian's Red Special would not be right, nor is just putting any old kit in any old set up configuration and trying to say it's a replica of how Roger would have set up. I'd like to see not only the right kit, but the configuration set up right, ie the right number of rack toms in the right place, cymbals placed correctly etc..., and not just the kit dumped there in the usual 'drum shop window' formation! It might be really picky, but considering the detail in the multitrack machines, the floor contents etc.. the appropriate kit microphones would be nice too to really try to replicate that early 70's studio vibe. I may be being too fussy (am I??). but to go to such fabulous lengths in some details of the exhibition but cobble together other parts is slightly disappointing. ps Greg - some of the laptops were not working when I went on Saturday either (if I let you know what I couldn't see can you just run me off a DVD copy?!!!) On a seperate issue regarding the exhibition, I don't recall seeing a single copyright notice (certainly not prominently in view) on any of the audio/video stations. I am not condoning recording these, but it certainly seems that the Queen organisation aren't being as precious over this as in previous times. Having said that, I don't agree with doing that because it is basically copyright theft - yes, the display is 'public', but you wouldn't be able to go into a record shop and just record what they are playing over their speakers or on their in store stations so I don't think it should be done here either. |

Not that anyone's playing the "sense of entitlement" card, but a release of earlier material for true Queen fans is long overdue. The fact that people are bringing cameras to record even a few seconds of new footage is quite indicative of the fact that there is a great interest in this footage, and that it shouldn't be limited to a few thousand people passing through the exhibition in London. So I guess time will tell if there are any plans for official releases of any of this unseen material, or if it will cease to exist to the public once the exhibition is over.. |

A nice gift from Roger and Brian to the fans, I think - especially if the whole thing makes Roger feel uncomfortable (old). Ha. It sounds very exciting. I hope it does make it to other countries, but if not, it could always be a virtual exhibition - online. That way, it could expand from time to time, with more items on display as they are acquired or organized. That would be a very nice gift. Thanks for the report, Greg. You must have worked hard on this. |

Hope they can re-work the sound and the image of Rainbow, Hyde Park, Earls Court and Houston. In Rock Montreal QP did a great work with the image and the sound. The quality of the video of bootlegs of Hyde Park and Earls is horrible, but with a lot of work, who knows... We all saw the Sweet Lady in Hyde of the Making of ANATO. I wonder if Earls can be remastered at those point. |

cmsdrums wrote: Nice points AC30 about the drum kit - I visited on Saturday and was a little frustrated at the drum set up - yes, Roger used that (or similar?) Ludwig chrome finish kit in early/mid 80s, but I got the impression that the set up intention was to mimic a typical set up in the early 70's studio scenario and he certainly (to my knowledge) never used that kit then. Just as putting a Les Paul/Fender in place of Brian's Red Special would not be right, nor is just putting any old kit in any old set up configuration and trying to say it's a replica of how Roger would have set up. I'd like to see not only the right kit, but the configuration set up right, ie the right number of rack toms in the right place, cymbals placed correctly etc..., and not just the kit dumped there in the usual 'drum shop window' formation! It might be really picky, but considering the detail in the multitrack machines, the floor contents etc.. the appropriate kit microphones would be nice too to really try to replicate that early 70's studio vibe. I may be being too fussy (am I??). but to go to such fabulous lengths in some details of the exhibition but cobble together other parts is slightly disappointing. ps Greg - some of the laptops were not working when I went on Saturday either (if I let you know what I couldn't see can you just run me off a DVD copy?!!!)

| Rick 04.03.2011 14:19 |
I'd love to see Roger's kit which he used during the Races sessions. Can be seen in the Somebody To Love video and he used the same setup for the Hyde Park concert. His biggest kit to date, if I recall correctly. |

I'm going to pop down and have a browse tomorrow.....and I'd like to say that GB's first post on this thread is brimming with a zeal, enthusiasm and pride that I find infectious. I also, as it happens, think that this isn't the place to start whining for anthologies and DVD's. Why not enjoy this in itself first? |
| Queen Archivist 06.03.2011 15:53 |
I saw someone mention here on QZ the Multitrack tapes at the exhibition... I was there Saturday and noticed 2 or 3 of these tapes have actually fallen over in the display!!! Really annoying, because it's not a simple job to put it back as it was; it entails the entire pane of glass being removed, by 2-3 people. But anyway... I chose one tape from each of the first 5 albums, plus a Rainbow, and Hyde Pk, plus a 1" video of Somebody To Love rushes (unused bits), and I chose particular items of interest... some of you have spotted, and some of you not! The two fallen over, and therefore with their labels not viewable, are an original Hyde Pk audio multi, which I think is rather lovely in its way, and a Races one... the latter contains a version of SIMPLE MAN, which of course became White Man. Other tapes include BANANA BLUES (working title of Misfire) and People Of The Earth (Prophet's Song), Happy Little F**k (Brighton Rock). I've asked them if they'll put the tapes back up asap. I'd like to show more of these tapes for the touring version. I think such things are fascinating - but then I would, wouldn't I!!!!! |
| sithmaster34 06.03.2011 16:58 |
Thanks for your comments Greg. You are so lucky to be in charge of the archive! Hopefully one day the anthologies will come out. Is the exhibition going on tour of the UK first or is London the only venue in this country? |
| Penetration_Guru 06.03.2011 17:36 |
Having also been on Saturday, I did spot the Hyde Park multi (maybe it fell down later), but the others had already toppled. I've posted some pics at QOL, mostly the same tapeboxes as here... but also a Smile acetate that seems to say pretty clearly that it lasts for six minutes. a contract with the College of Estate Management for a show there in October '70 an ad RT & FM put up for their market stall and what appears to a setlist for the resceduled Barbarella's gig in 74. I also spent a very interesting couple of hours on the Rainbow laptop - I watched the entire show & the "Japan" compilation afterwards. The Japan piece was the usual footage and I very nearly didn't bother - then I noticed - all the audio was demoes etc. - I heard an alternate vocal for MoTBQ with a very young-sounding FM, although it seemed to be the final backing track & lyrics. Some Day One Day was a different vocal too. Oh yes, on the issue of Now I'm Here - never mind when it was broadcast, IT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERFORMANCE! Guitar is different, vocal is diferent..... Re: The Rainbow (first night) - can't see it being released, sadly. Brian's guitar is missing for the first two minutes of NiH, there's a vocal fluff on Ogre Battle, drums keep getting turned ALLTHE WAY UP, piano sounds out of tune initially too. However, it has some brilliant moments - Father To Son has a great solo, Flick Of The Wrist is brilliant, and the encore is superb - Big Spender, Modern Times Rock N Roll, then Jailhouse Rock. I don't think there are many videos of MTRNR... Elsewhere, Earl's Court & Hyde Park footage looked very very good indeed (although having both on one laptop makes for a long afternoon....) One other small criticism - the studio footage of "STL" is marked as "recording...." - surely that's a trifle misleading? It's the FILMING of the video, unless it is now being claiimed that there was a film crew present during recording? I didn't bother with the 3D stuff at the end, and was surprised to see a merchandising opportunity being missed. A lot of creativity has clearly gone into these displays, and even I can come up with some ideas based on that!!! But overall, it was a really enjoyable few hours. |

For a start - they should have 2 nights of video and audio to work with, and someone mentioned it was mono - so they haven't remixed it for the exhibition, and that's just a live mix done on the night of the show( the only reasonable explanation or the drums being mixed higher and higher throughout the show). Only GB, JSS etc know what is actually present on the muiltitracks and what can be done with it. I don't think they'd ever release both nights anyway (nor for Earls Court). |
| Penetration_Guru 06.03.2011 18:00 |
You've misunderstood - I didn't mean that the drums get progressively louder, I meant that on two or three occasions they get turned all the way up, randomly, for two seconds before being put back down....as if the guy on the mixing desk moved the wrong fader. |
| Negative Creep 06.03.2011 18:18 |
But that shouldn't be present on the multitracks. They should have been recording a seperate feed to what was being mixed to go out to the pa on the night. And even if it was, it could be fixed, if the audio on that channel doesn't distort at its loudest. And that's only one of the night's audio anyway. |

OK, so went back to the exhibition today and to my utter joy the Kit has been changed to the Silver Sparkle kit Now I personally love this kit it was the first one I saw in real life some 30 years ago so very happy to see it. Question Why was it changed? it still is not the right kit for the period, however it is more accurate in terms of what Roger actually uses Greg do you know what the thinking was here? Either way I love it and will always hold fond memories of the kit when I saw it in Wembley 1980 so much so I now have the identical kit at home that has taken me 30 years to get together... Also saw the footage of Roger on guitar and Fred on Drums...love it! |
| cmsdrums 07.03.2011 09:44 |
I'm so glad that they've changed Roger's kit (although still bemused as to why not one from the 'Early Years' in question?), but equally gutted to have missed one of my favourite kits of Roger's 'in the flesh'. When I went, the tape boxes detailed by Greg were visible, and I was quite thrilled seeing early working titles of tracks that finally made the albums. The snippets of Hyde Park 76 that I saw seemed to have totally remixed audio, as it sounded absolutely stunning, and bits of Earls Court 77 sounded much better than I have ever heard before. I pray that each of the 'big' unreleased shows (Houston, Earls Court, Hyde Park, Budokan etc..) from this era get an individual DVD/Blur Ray/CD release (or combined in a box), but my fear is that we may get a 'Rare Lie' type 'Best of...' edit, which whilst this will be something, knowing what has been left out will be very hard to take! |
| cmsdrums 07.03.2011 10:08 |
Above everything, I really hope that the release of ther remasters, along with the exhibition, and the press coverage and general attention and reaction given, makes QPL realise the genuine interest, love, and fascination that the brilliance of their early work generates (hence leading to more era specific releases). The seriousness with which this catalogue has been reviewed in the last few weeks is in stark contrast to the usual tongue-in-cheek jokiness that a lot of their 80's pop output gets treated with. Finally, at last, the message may get through to them that it is, after all, all about the music. |
| zephead2112 07.03.2011 11:07 |
Afternoon All, I visited the exhibition on Saturday afternoon and I must say that I was more than impressed. In retrospect, I wish I'd gone during the week as I suspect that because it was a) free and b) the weekend, there were probably a lot of casual 'walk-ins' which made it very busy and difficult to listen to/watch all the fantastic audio and video representations on offer. Not a bad thing though as I hope and believe that it will make ' the man in the street' appreciate that Queen's incredible legacy offers much much more than Bohemian Rhapsody, Live Aid and Freddie with a moustache in his Magic Tour outfit. It's been said before within this thread but for me personally, one of the really thrilling aspects of the exhibition was experiencing some of the Earls Court 77 show with fantastic quality audio. My God, it sounded bloody good. If the exhibition is updated to span the next batch of albums, I'll be over the moon.....think clips of Houston & Hammy in perfect quality. Yum Yum. Overall, it left me hopeful that there is indeed enough wonderful (and in some cases, surprising) footage available for a stunning DVD box set. Cheers, Keith. |

Hi Bob, on first sight I read White Queen too. But not only that. From what I've seen in the past (and I could be wrong), the writing feels to me like from a Queen member. I could be wrong, like I said, but from postcards and lyrics sheets I've seen, this setlist could have easily been written by Freddie or John. But I have no scientific evidence for that. |
| GinjaNinja 07.03.2011 15:46 |

THAT'S where I've seen it. Thanks Ginja...yes, the acetates. Might take a closer look at Ferdy's page now...very distinctive letters R and G... |
| Kamenliter 07.03.2011 22:56 |
The handwriting doesn't look like any of the band members to me...take a look at all their letters to the fan club over the years. Their handwriting is much finer and more precise, as well as being cursive. I'd sooner say one of the crew wrote this. |
| Benn 08.03.2011 06:33 |
I think I've seen this on Ratty's website beforeand would point to the familiarity of the handwriting from around that time - would make sense that a great deal of this stuff has come from his archive. I'm not sure that band members would "bother" to write set lists. |

Dear Greg, I went to the SIS exhibition last week with a right couple of numpties, and we all noticed the guitar in the studio mock up was NOT THE REAL GUITAR !!!!!. Is this another attempt to hood wink us loyal fans with a blatant piece of fakery. Why bother at all with a Guild copy if you can't be bothered to get the proper one? And it looked out of tune. We then went for a really good lunchtime curry, and couldn't stop farting all afternoon. Oss |
| Queen Archivist 09.03.2011 12:16 |
Hey there curly fingers. I too thought the guitar looked out of tune. And the G string was clearly much too thick and bendy... and the bottom E was decidedly twangy and at least a semitone too vibratey. I did not have the curry, because I couldn't afford one, but I certainly did hear you passing wind rather a lot. You will notice I avoided the use of the word 'farting' there, as I believe only common types, working class slum-dwelling brutes usually use such words. Did you notice that Freddie's mic stand was in the wrong key too??? And did you further notice one of the multitrack tapes only had 15 tracks inside it, and NOT 24!!!! We've been robbed of 9 entire tracks by Queen and the Management. Where are those 9 tracks??? Do you think the 9 tracks in question are those that are on The Works album, 1984???????? Spanner! |

I noticed one error early on: "Seaside Rendezvous" was said to be on ADATR. :-) Later on it was right. Particularly liked the Earl's Court footage - but wonder about the video dropout. (I suspect it was deliberate). I had to tear myself away from it else I'd've been there FOREVER. :-) All in all a great exhibition. |

| Bad Seed 13.03.2011 07:00 |
The video quality of Earls Court appears the best that I've seen. It doesn't look to great on the lap top, but I assume that is because its a lap top. The opening footage of the crown and the crowd is the clearest that I've seen. As for the audio, this seems no better than whats available, apart from the fact that its in stereo. It is however hard to tell when an A/B comparison cant be done. |
| Martin Packer 13.03.2011 15:24 |
I'd never seen footage of the crown going up - and had always wanted to. So I was VERY happy to see that. Quality was good enough - but DID look like web video. I've no idea what the full quality would be like. Martin |

The radio program I was listening to is run by a well known spanish collector and huge Stones' fan. On April 1st he'll be opening his own Museum Of Rock in a new shopping center in Barcelona. The museum will be devoted to rock memorabillia of every kind, with permanent Rolling Stones' and Beatles' exhibitions, as well as temporary exhibits from other bands. The guy said the first temporary exhibit in the museum would be the one for Queen's 40th Anniversary, so I can happily guess it'll be the SiS exhibition. |
