Hello ! Recently, I've been watching Days of Our Lives (2011) documentary and at the very beginning of the first episode there is a snippet of a concert which I think hasn't been released officially or on a bootleg, or am I wrong ?? I've attached snapshot taken from 00:37-00:39 part of the documentary. Cheers ! Martin |

I may be wrong, but I think it's the 1977 rehearsal footage (NOTW Tour). Any thought? |

It's believed to be Houston '77, possibly Fort Worth?It's part of the unreleased doc by Bob Harris. |

My biggest gues is Houston someone could compare RT his clothing. The one camera Bob Harris got one at least filmed shots from the audience. This one could have moved around later. There is nothing from Fort Worth in the archives. Edit : at Houston RT wears a white shirt at the start of the show and later he changes for a black shirt. So Houston seems to be the most plausible option. 1 we know it was filmed by Harris lroof shows a other single moving camera (wwry fast) 2 there are no other live recordings from Harris 3 Forth Worth is lost or taped over or thrown away or recorded as a test. Or Harris mistaken himself by saying to the fanclub magazine that is was filmed and in the end it wasn't filmed at all. Of course it could be from any other show. But that's not likely. |

Do we have a PROOF that Bob Harris and his crew filmed also a DIFFERENT concert than Houston? |

Didn't Bob Harris say himself that he and his crew recorded Fort Worth and LA gigs ? We need Rhys Thomas to get back to the Queen camp. As a Queen fan I think that he persuaded BM+RT+JB that the material from the 70's is worth releasing. I've recently spotted on the Wembley (25th anniv.) credits that he was one of the producers. I think that during his work for Queen Prod. he presented very well die-hard fans' point of view and contributed to the fact, that all the releases related to the Queen 40th anniversary project are/were tremendous. Although I get a feeling that 2016 will be a year when Queen will announce...........wait for it........30th anniversary of Wembley (maybe Blu-ray) :) |

It can be only an SD Blu Ray in such case, which wouldn't look much better than what we already have, basically it would be the same over again. I'd rather have Hyde Park released. |

Perhaps some boring snippets. But nothing suiteble for any kind of release !!!! |

Well, considering Queen has all of Harris' footage that he recorded of the band back in the day.... |

But an uncrompressed and maybe, if they find the tapes, remixed surroundsound would make it a great release! It is a shame, that the bonus dvd of the first night sounds so much better than the famous event! |

Bob Harris told me that after Houston they went to Las Vegas with the band and he and Roger went from one bar to the next down the Strip - diagonally and over 3 days (!). Whether or not the Las Vegas show was filmed he didn't say but I would guess they did filming with/of the band otherwise why go there - unless all filming was finished and they were hanging out with them. So it's possible there is footage from this show, within the "hundreds of hours of footage" they shot. To have a four hour interview with Fred shot at that time must be amazing viewing... Bob and team were editing in Soho when two guys arrived and took all the footage away. He said they had just got it into some semblance of order too... |

How did the 1977 Bob Harris (BBC) footage end up in the Queen Archive? Bob and the camera operators were all paid BBC employes so all of the footage would be owned by the BBC. Was it donated to Q.P by the BBC? |
