I put the Special for Italy of 1977 on youtube! :-)
Special recorded for BBC7 in Italy and broadcasted by italian local tv in 1977. Interview with Roger promoting Queen and a hypothetical show. Show that will be done onlye 7 year after, in 1984. Shared by Leonardo Pelz (Stone Cold Leo'82 B.R.), me. link link link link link link link
I actually wrote that comment after watching the Now I'm Here video !
I'm even MORE surprised that the 3-31-74 footage was shown on TV. But the footage has to come from somewhere, right? :-)

Yes, I'm pretty sure that Roger brought with him a cassette with all this stuff for promoting Queen in Italy... but the promotion didn't work out... :-)
Ha, well at least not until 1984.
The truth is, concerts in Italy were rare in the 70s. After the riots at the Led Zeppelin show in Milan in 1971, I don't think they had any big rock concerts in Italy until the 80s.
So it's not that Queen weren't popular there. It's just that the Zeppelin show got very bad press, so there weren't any promoters who wanted to take the financial risks on big bands.

Yes, and there was a sort of civil war in the 70ies here... It was a big risk... not only Led Zep but also Joan Baez got big problems over here.. :-(

What he means is, would you mind uploading ALL of it here as mpeg2 (DVD) from your orignal recording please?
Thank you :)

I did understand, thanks! :-) But it's not much better as youtube no longer ruins the quality of the video you're uploading... :-)

Well. I have to disagree with that.
Firstly you lose the interlacing of the picture and so everything looks like it was shot on film, and secondly, you STILL lose quality and you can see artefacting. Try watching even the highest quality youtube clips on a television set, and you'll see.
There also isn't a 576 option. The nearest in 480, which might be fine for NTSC sourced material, but not for PAL.
Italy does/did broadcast in PAL didn't/doesn't it....?
I understand it may be a hassle, but maybe you could at least send the whole programme to Pittrek in DVD format and he could share it here for us?
Thanks

Actually the Rainbow March footage was shot on film, but the TV broadcast was of course on PAL video, I agree with the rest.
Leo - the reason why I asked for the "pre-youtube" version is that I think the video is a good candidate for a NeatVideo cleanup + a little colour correction and it's always a good idea to work with the best available source :)
"It's not really that much better than what you see on youtube... But (as I got other requestes) I'll do it! :-)"
You're kidding, right? YouTube adds a lot of compression garbage onto the video just to make it streamable!
