On Queenonline there's a link to an interview with Jim Jenkins.
In this interview Jim mentions a documentary that will be shown during the upcoming Fanclub Convention with unseen interviews and unseen footage, including Queen performing "Imagine".
Very cool that there's footage of the band performing this song!
Very nice that it's Frankfurt. Way better performance than the London version of Imagine (the day after John Lennon was killed).
I also wonder whether this is pro footage or filmed from the audience.
Hopefully someone can shed a light on this :-)
Oh. From what I remembered it should be an audience film which the owner asked too much money when they wanted to release it, but my memory is far from good so I'm definitely not going to argue :-)

I don't think Greg Brooks is a 100% trustworthy source on what is in the archive or not.
Supposedly there is still a lot of stuff that hasn't been labelled yet.

It was just what I got out of interviews this/last year with Gary Taylor and Greg Brooks, when asked about their day-to-day activities at the Queen Towers.
It's ridiculous if they haven't already finished documenting and archiving what was already in the archives - that exercise started over 20 years ago. Especially when you consider the supposed comprehensive list that Greg released here a few years back of shows in the archive that could virtually be counted by anyone with a full set of fingers and toes. I can understand continuing work to locate and obtain footage from new sources such as overseas tv and radio stations etc... but the archiving of what was already there should be something completed long, long ago.

He doesn't work exclusively for QP 24/7 and when they moved from EMI to Universal, EMI handed over 4,500 tapes that needed going through.

Well, let's hope there's some good stuff on those tapes.
Being a concert enthusiast I especially hope they have by now found all the tapes (audio and video) from Hammersmith 26/12/1979. It's the best filmed concert for me so it should be available in the best possible quality and most complete form. It'd be so mindblowingly good....
