CLTCL - Bristol 1979 (clean up)

Thanks to BriansWig for sharing his copy. Been busy lately but I thought I'd tinker with this video a bit. Here's my take on it. Perhaps it's a decent alternative.   I bring you 2 versions of this. Why? Because this footage was originally shot on film. One version is normal 25 FPS and the other is 50 FPS which I decided to upload because the conversion turned out fairly okay (like it's not *too obviously* fake looking - re distorted). So you can download either of these or both of them, depends on whether you prefer normal video or smooth motion. https://mega.nz/#!1MlWRSjA!3gmIXbOIWZQal_aBGLa55tUbuKu9pWJvyFIVofATWR8 https://mega.nz/#!0VsXgKTY!VlR4Ni5VdznQ7WOQl_04cCD-W7wRcyAINdV8cOAzdPY On youtube - . |

Thank you Chief! I expected something like this when Brians Wig shared his copy. Thanks a lot to both of you. |

Thanks for the original share and for the excellent work again on this new version. Always appreciated. |

Chief mouse need to get work into QPL |
| Biggus Dickus 03.10.2015 11:23 |
Very good. It looks like it was filmed yesterday. I wonder if they'll ever make this official. |
| Sue Dounim 03.10.2015 11:25 |
Fantastic work as per usual! |
| Nitroboy 03.10.2015 14:38 |

If you delay the audio by 50ms, it runs perfect. But that's just my opinion :) |
| Mr.QueenFan 03.10.2015 18:22 |
I was expecting your magic on this one, Chief :-) And once again, you delivered! It looks beautiful! Thank you for sharing your work with us, and Brian's wig for sharing the original file. This is such a great performance, and being shot on film only adds to it's beauty. |

Apply for a job at QP... can't say it enough. Excellent work Chief. |
| MJDSQ 03.10.2015 20:03 |
Great job. Love John's bass line. Is this the only video recorded from the rehearsal? Any idea if there's more in the vaults? |

I don't think there's any more in the vaults. BTW, this has any difference with the version you (Chief) shared to me some time ago? |

Did you do that 50fps version just for me Chief because I'm always complaining about you deinterlacing video material? If so you're a naughty little minx with a devilish sense of humour for making it look a bit like a video recording when it shouldn't be.... ;-) LOL |

Hmmm, if it was originally shot on film, shouldn't it be slowed down to 24/48fps? :P Supposedly they converted it for TV broadcasting by speeding it up to 25fps, and correcting the audio pitch afterwards? |
| Chief Mouse 04.10.2015 08:36 |
They digitized it to a PAL tape or something, I suppose by speeding it up. I didn't want to mess with slowing it down. It's not like it's too fast it's obvious, like that SD version of Budapest that we had before Hungarian Rhapsody got released. |
| The Real Wizard 04.10.2015 17:19 |
Excellent job as always, Chief ! Clearly this was assembled from multiple takes, as plenty of drum and guitar parts don't match the audio. Whoever edited this back in the day made some horrible creative decisions. But aside from that, it's wonderful footage from 79. |
| brians wig 04.10.2015 17:41 |
Yes. Since it was shot on film and by the BBC (BBC Bristol Regional station I expect), it was more than likely done with a single 16mm camera over a number of takes and then very quickly edited in-house for a Regional news programme. I reallly wish we had more info on this footage. |
| hobbit in Rhye 06.10.2015 13:55 |
Thank you Chief for this smooth-as-a-baby video ;) Grateful to brians wig too. Keep the good alive. |

The Real Wizard wrote: A very reliable source said it was for the South Bank Show on ITV, not the BBC.The footage has always been been credited to the BBC for as long as I've been collecting (1986) and every VHS I've ever had with this footage on, regardless of the source, has said "BBC", hence that's why it is titled as such. If it IS South Bank Show and can be verified publically by someone inside QPL, that would be great. Even better would be a broadcast date! |
| Barry Durex 08.10.2015 07:42 |
Who is the very reliable source? There is no mention of it in the episode guides below link link |
| The Real Wizard 09.10.2015 14:25 |
Yeah - looks like someone was talking porkies. BBC it is. |
| brians wig 10.10.2015 03:35 |
I'd like to think that whilst re-writing the "Queen Live" book (where is it guys???), Gary and Greg have discovered the correct details about this clip and we will find out soon enough. |
| Barry Durex 10.10.2015 03:47 |
Depends on who the very reliable source is. |
