Hi! I want to share with you this info wich i found in Youtube... is from a guy who aparently was on camera during the gig: --------- "The concert was shot by Zoom Television and recorded on 2" reel tape. Betamax tape was around but was not used in professionally. Betacam wasn't introduced until 1982. The cameras were Philips LDK 3's The concert was only recorded as an afterthought. Cameras were to provide pictures for the screen? above stage which was new then. Brian mentions 'We will get as close as we can' The projector was called an Eiderphor I was a cameraman stage right and I'm glad you are enjoying the concert." ----------- "I was on camera at this concert. It was one of the first concerts to have a large screen above the stage and we were supplying the feed. ( Zoom Television ) The middle section was played off tape to the screen while the band rushed off stage and changed. If you listen carefully as the tape starts you can hear it 'wow' This is actually how it happened on the night. The replay was off? U matic tape. The original recording was made on? 2" tape." --------- I think It's intresting to know that the original recording was made on 2" tape (like -aparently- rainbow nov 1974) As he's talking about the first night i will ask him about the second night ... Here's a photo of a philips LDK 3's camera: link Cheers! |

Cheers! |

Very interesting, thanks for the info |

Been trying to find info on Zoom Television Ltd for years, but nothing available that I can see. Can you find out if each camera was recording onto 2" tape, or if it was just the feed that was recorded? |

hey, cool, thanks! :) |

I think it's more interesting to know that it was filmed for a large screen for the audience. I never knew this and will explain the constant close ups and lack of mid shots and audience shots which i have always criticized it for. |
| The Real Wizard 04.08.2011 09:01 |
We've actually known that for years ! The same thing goes for Houston. But as we saw in the new documentary, there are a ton of angles with the Bob Harris footage in the mix too. |

Interesting info. Thanks for sharing with us! |

This is cool stuff. Thank you for that. Zeppelin did the same thing at Earls Court in 1975. |

Earl's Court was an AMAZING concert in terms of performance by all members of the band and Freddie's interaction with the audience, but the only complaint I have is that I wish that it had been shot from a wider variety of angles...there are soooo many songs where the camera man focuses on just one band member for almost a minute (or sometimes even several minutes) at a time! But I guess as far as 70's concerts go, Earl's Court was pretty good quality...soI guess I really can't complain too much, lol. |

That's much better than the DoRo twins or the Wembley editing where the camera never stays on anything for longer than half a second. |

HELLO I HAVE QUESTION In the middle of the song "You take my breath away" from Earl's Court 1977 is a rumbling, which was removed from the publication " absolute greatest video" and the reissue of the album "A Day at the races." The question is in the reissue of this video was used soundboard or used denoising? |

The fan pic of the Zoom TV camers mentioned earlier was mine. Bob (Sir G) had it on his site but I requested he remove it and others because people were stealing them for there own purposes. I have also sent an email to the cameraman because I think I have a pic of him!!! He mentions just one screen but I am certain that I remember two, one on each side of the stage. |
| The Real Wizard 20.08.2011 13:14 |
Anyone who saw shows at Earls Court in the 70s would be able to answer that question. If you're really curious, you could head to a Led Zeppelin forum. They played 5 nights there, and surely plenty of people have good recollections or knowledge of the shows. It's unlikely they would have done a different setup for Queen a couple years later. |

OK! So as we announced earlier on our #PM-Radio podcast, and as summed up nicely by Kef:
Kef wrote: What was announced on the show will rattle the collectors and the other QZ users who may have heard the announcement, I'm quite sure of that. it was a rather major announcement indeed. ... Alright, here's what I jotted down from the announcement: 1. It regards Earl's Court. (AKA one of the Queen shows which has been the tangent of a certain troll in the past couple months...) 2. A 'mutual friend' of Gregsynth was given an authentic audience tape of the June 6th 1977 show about two weeks ago. Prior to then, the only known source was the audio of the dry soundboard from the video. It is a legit audience tape(the podcast mentioned high-generation copies of Seattle '77 being falsely claimed/labelled as audience tapes for Earl's Court), and is of decent quality. As evidence that this recording's the real deal, the taped intro for Procession, Tie Your Mother Down, and Death On Two Legs were played from the audience tape on the podcast. 3. Aforementioned mutual friend asked Gregsynth to restore/pitch-correct the tape. Inuliger will then have the recording professionally remastered. 4. According to the podcast, it'll be shared by mid to late November, no later than November 24th 2011(the 20th anniversary of Freddie's death). |
