Live Killers - video footage of album mixing

A picture of Freddie at the mixing desk with John Etchells whilst mixing 'Live Killers' shows a video cameraman filming them. Brian states that the footage filmed is safely in their archive.
Did we know this exists??

He also mentions, doesn't he, that Paris was multitracked and FILMED. OK we already knew that BUT was it a multiple camera shoot? Not just the one camera we have...
Anyhoo... really nice book!! Loads of unseen photos :-)

Yeah, there were plenty of different angles on "The Champions" TV special. :)

This is taken from the 1979 USA TV special "The Champions".

Whilst Brian's memory is sometimes suspect, he does specifically say for this it is Live Killers. Did Etchells work on 'The Game'?

28.05.2017 12:59		 If this is the Live Killers sessions that were filmed (or even The Game sessions) who would have come and filmed it?

He he! Though to be fair to them, it could easily just be an editing and mixing session.

Yeah it could be. Even though the album has loads of overdubs.
