Excellent footage! Very nice quality, and interesting to watch, especially since it pertains to one of my very favourite Queen concerts! Thank you very much Kurgan.
A funny thing I never noticed before - you can clearly hear I Want Candy by what sounds like Bow Wow Wow and So What? sung by Animal - none of them are listed as support artists. Does anybody know if they actually played or if they played their songs from recordings?
Also it's nice to hear "I've been everyfuckingwhere" in a TV broadcast :-)
Many thanks for this. Is it possible to get the entire concert (pre-show + gig) from this recording?
I guess this might be something you keep for trading purposes but thought it would do no harm to ask.
Thanks for this and all your other shares - it really is greatly appreciated.
.......and the interviewer, for the Tube , was Chris Cowey, who went on to etch out a great career with the BBC, rising to Top of the pops producer, lived a couple of hundred yards from me in Sunderland.

i Do have a copy of the T.V broadcast. years ago i uploaded it to my YT channel. can it be uploaded here on QZ?? i know there is an official release, but the Tube broadcast footage, can that be considered official?
I don't think so because it's just a TV broadcast, nothing else. If this is official, then the Spanish TV show of Freddie's tribute should be considered official too.
Thanks in advance if you decide to upload it here :-)

Plenty of people should have this on VHS, myself included. It'd be nice for it to be out there. It's about 80 minutes long. But this is the only part that isn't on the Bowl DVD.
In the meantime - Nitroboy did a great mix of this audio source (and a stereo MTV source) with the Bowl footage, which is better quality. link
^ it's in this thread.

Are the TV versions from different cams?
Pretty sure it's all from the same 1983 edit, including the DVD.
Or were there any different angles, besides in the intro (and obviously the songs that weren't included)?

Bow wow wow were definitely support that day.
really? - i don't think so.
we were there all day and all i remember were Teardrop Explodes, Heart & Joan Jett
i thought Bow Wow Wow were dumped earlier in the tour because of their "attitude" - sure there's an interview with Roger somewhere that appeared on an old "Tape Magazine" (SFX?) where he said something about their attitude being basically "if you don't like us then fuck you"...and he thought "well fuck them"

So whose version of I Love Candy is played in the footage? It sounds like Bow Wow Wow to me.
you do realise that "between acts" there's music played over the PA all day?
also - a quick check online and you'd have found out that BWW's last appearance on the tour was Leiden...where they got bottled off stage
listen to Brian's chat - you can hear three different tunes by three different bands...that alone should tell you it's the piped music played thru the pA and not any support band

Yes, that was part of my original question, if both I Love Candy and So What were played live or just over PA.
well they Queen and Bow Wow Wow definitely parted company after Leiden https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68BhheVx53w
interview details [from 3:35] Interviewer: How did you get on with Bow Wow Wow in Germany? Roger: Oh, very well actually. I like Bow Wow Wow. I'm very disappointed with the way they went down with the audiences, because I think they're very original, I think the girl's very good, the bass player's good and the drummer's good as well. Interviewer: But they got bottled off? Roger: Yeah. I'm afraid they did. They didn't really (it's a common malaise these days) they didn't really give enough to the audience - you have to. The audience aren't there to see you jerk off on stage, they're there to be...they're the one who paid the money. They're there to be entertained in some way, and you've got to give a little bit, and you've bend a little bit and you've got to project yourself - especially in these large arenas. And these new groups; a lot of the new bands just sort of come on and do their thing and "hey man, if you don't like us then Fuck You!" and so, fuck them. They end up nowhere, which is a shame really - it's a stupid attitude.
