Does the focus have to be the band or can they just be part of it? If the latter, there was that "DoRo Behind the Magic" or whatever where there was a decently long section on TaTDooL |

Meat Loaf's Bats 3 Live DVD had a bonus "making of" documentary which featured Brian among others. BBS 7 Ages of Rock documentary series feature Queen prominently in the Stadium Rock episode. |

Brian May One To One with Gary Davies 1992 This was the show that he told us of the Queen version of Too Much Love Will Kill You....... |

The Queen Phenomenon was from 1995, not 1999. :) It was the TV version of Champions Of The World. |

The Brighton Rock guitar intro below was NOT included in the 'Champions Of The World' documentary. |

I bought COTW on its release day and I'm convinced it had Brian's intro, although I dont remember that dodgy synching. I lost (misplaced) my original copy and bought it again around '98, I remember instantly noticing the missing intro. I borrowed another copy from my friend who bought his copy standing next to me in the queue (Our Price. Sunderland, England) in '95 and the intro was also there. I'm gonna try and check tomorrow in case I'm going round the bend |

Neither my Laserdisc or VHS copy of COTW (UK PAL editions) contain the guitar intro. They both contain the same very short clip, here it is.

I recall seeing the 'Queen Phenomenon' edition in a record store in Carnaby Street back in 1995/96 ish... it was on VHS in a hard case, with a custom red sleeve with title info etc.. - it was official, and most likely a TV station promo edition. I didn't buy it....what a prick!! |

Thank you to everyone involved in sharing links. Does the documentary from 1991 with Axl hosting exist in better audio quality? |

Add one more to the list: "Hitlatens Historia" - it's a series on SVT in Sweden, and a couple weeks back they did an episode on We Will Rock You. |

Here's one from 1984 not on the list, called "They Will Rock You". Pittrek did this edit of it a few years back (I guess to remove the official videos?). link Where's the live footage of the Works intro tape at the beginning from? Brussels 8-24-84 ? |
| Chinwonder2 04.02.2019 00:39 |
Thanks, will check it and get back to you. -Chin |
| Chinwonder2 04.02.2019 01:40 |
Hmm, I’m not really sure you know. It could be a number of things: 1. It is soundcheck footage of Brussels. Taken from the same camera which would broadcast some of TYMD. 2. Its from the Soundcheck of the Paris gig as the documentary is French and it was broadcast on October 13th, 1984 (according to the opening tex). 3. Finally, it’s footage from a German gig as some footage of rehearsals and aoundcheck appears here in that Queen ‘84 documentary I shared a link to in the Requests forum. Here’s a better quality section: -Chin |

I always will remember that on 1997 or 98, the channel Viva put a documentary about Queen with images of No One But You. I remember that I recorded the end of it on a VHs that I lost, but I'm sure that somebody recorded in full |
