Hi Has anyone who has been at any of the shows so far noticed any of them being pro recorded video-wise? I'm guessing not as I can't see any mention of this; I thought that they might have filmed the MSG show but seemingly not. It would be obvious, with the camera set up and lots of extra lighting and I don't seem to have seen any of this on the YouTube clips so far. Cheers |

Maybe chicago they released a clip of we will rock you or maybe the last night of the tour? |
| Mr.QueenFan 27.07.2014 15:56 |
Every show is being recorded in HD by 5 different cameras. |

| GERRYISADICK 27.07.2014 16:05 |
Well could they make an official release from those cameras? |
| inu-liger 27.07.2014 16:09 |
I believe it was Nick who said every night IS being recorded, and the 5 camera feeds are being recorded individually as well! |
| GERRYISADICK 27.07.2014 16:10 |
Oh ok inu |

Universal yanked my MSG multi camera from youtube twice and have no issues with the other five I did, so they might be planning to release that one. |
| cmsdrums 27.07.2014 16:22 |
Thanks for the info guys. At least the Knebworth lessons seen to have been heeded and the screen camera feeds are being recorded! They would normally have a lot of extra lighting for a life gig recording but it looks like the show is pretty well lit already, so perhaps specific extra lighting wasn't needed!! |

They never wanted to film or even videtape it. They probably don't even have the big screen feed. I believe QP left messages to the fans in their last releases, like for example they have the audio of Hyde Park in good quality as we could see in Days of Our Lives. In the Hungarian Rhapsody Bluray there is an extra mini documentary about the magic tour. They show the amateur footage of Knebworth like saying '' This is all what we have, sorry, don't look after that'' |

Clever idea doga! |

I saw a few TV-station-like cameras in Jersey but, technically, that show was a nightmare. Curtain malfunction, no 'Guitar cam' during FBG and no confetti in the end. Other than that, nothing out of the ordinary in Montreal, Philly, MSG, Uncasville, Jersey or Atlantic City. Wouldn't there be extra lighting on the audience or something like that? How was it in Sheffield back in 2005? I think Brian even mentioned the fact that they were recording a DVD at that time. Madison Square Garden would have been perfect. It is the most famous venue they played and it was an awesome show.... but it seems it's only wishful thinking. |
| ptr 28.07.2014 05:21 |
AFAIK 2005 tour didnt have any cameras / videoscreens (used for live broadcasting from "stage")...........so it was very different at that time. |
| Toon_86 28.07.2014 05:57 |
I would hope the mess that was made of Knebworth has made them realise the value in recording the events. It isn't expensive to have the data streamed to a HD really, so no excuses |
| GERRYISADICK 28.07.2014 06:21 |
They didn't know knebworth would be the end and besides filming that would be pointless after recording the two nights at wembley and the concert in budapest. And besides they always could release a album just not a film like wembley |
| Doga 28.07.2014 06:33 |
Yeah, things were different back then. Film a gig was over the top and a futile exercise most of the time, today everybody is able to get an 1080p TV or even a 4K one. In the 80s people only had ''normal'' TVs, and videotapes or laserdisc which i believe are most expensive than DVDs or Blurays. So things like Montreal and Budapests were a rarity at that time, Is understandable after filming Budapest and taping Wembley they thought they won't need Knebworth. Talking about that, i rewatched that mini documentary today and i noticed they have the news coverage of gigs in Newcastle, Slane Castle, France, Knebworth... At the time, in Barcelona, TVE filmed at least We Will Rock You, Friends Will Be Friends and We Are The Champions but that footage doesn't appear. Someone could ask to that TV Station if they still have the footage in their archives (they released the their Madrid 79 tapes). But my bet is they were probably destroyed, knowing Freddie is shown with a Catalonian flag in WWRY. |

Concerning Knebworth it hass been said that at least the second half of the concert was properly filmed so that would be the material which is gathering dust in DORO archives. As for Mannheim and Cologne - it hasn't been confirmed whether the shows were taped over by the Hungarian crews. Problem is that digging in the archives, even in UK - e. g. DORO archives is expensive as Greg Brooks or GT has stated. Of course if Universal company would be interested and provide needed money well... that would be a different case. We don't know how much they know and if they are willing to conduct that kind of operation. Also, for that kind of project a good archivist or a whole team would come in handy. People like GB, GT or Rhys with their knowledge will find the material faster as they would know what they're looking for and where it could be found. In my opinion Universal/Island records is completely focused on Q+Al project and they're calculating how profitable it will turn out to be (tour + maybe (live) album). We're lucky we have something to wait for (Rainbow of course ! :) and the album with unreleased material if it won't be (again) postponed. I personally don't think it will be postponed as Adam is "announcing" the album on each gig before Love Kills. He said that it is one of the "remixed, remastered, re-done" songs, so we can count that it will be included on the Queen Forever album. |

Is not enough to a do a release. Or they are talking about the big screen feed? Someone decide to push a button and videotaped that after Love of my Life? Still isn't enough, it would be like Wembley first night, John Deacon played that night or was at the bar? Something like Wembley 1 is fantastic to have for the fans, and i am glad to have it, but for the mainstream market is only an ''extra'' feature. |

And even if half of it is there what is the quality? |
| MercurialFreddie 30.07.2014 15:02 |
I don't know exactly what tape they have used (suppose it was 35mm tape)... There were some snippets of Hammer to Fall in the FM DORO documentary shared few days ago here on Queenzone. Thanks to dave76 you can see from what angles the Doro team has recorded the show and if it is enough to release it as a bonus material to the let's say complete audio recording of Knebworth. From the master tapes they could produce 5.1 mix in uncompressed 96khz audio quality and synch it to the tracks that were captured live by the Doro team. |
