Hey everyone, was just informed of this new Zurich 1979 footage!! link The link below only works in Switzerland, so if someone could download it from their site, it would be better than Facebook. link -Chin |

Brilliant footage, thanks! I'd love to know how many similar goodies are in the TV station archives all over the world |
| Chinwonder2 07.11.2018 22:28 |
Well, I asked if there was any more in their archives, unfortunately, there isn't. But still, this footage is amazing! -Chin |
| Kacio 07.11.2018 22:32 |
amazing shots! great to see it |
| Golden Salmon 07.11.2018 23:13 |
Cool stuff! They did an attempt at editing the footage too.

definitely not the greatest version of we are the champions |

Freddie has the guts to attempt the a4 on "peace someday" |
| QueenAllTheWay 08.11.2018 04:55 |
I may be wrong, but at 2:45 - 2:52, it looks like a bit of the transition part of from the guitar solo to the opera section of Bohemian Rhapsody. |
| Jimmy Dean 08.11.2018 05:38 |
i think i heard john singing into the mic at around 4:50-4:53... i've never heard brian sound like that and it clearly couldn't be freddie or roger. |
| Makka 08.11.2018 06:12 |
Wow, this is great! Thanks for sharing! |

For video the main problem is that the tapes were reusable so I guess a lot of stuff has just been erased to save money and archive space. Film is of course better since it is not reused but there is still the problem of space and then the danger of throwing out material when you don't have equipment to view it any more. |

Nice multi-cam footage... I think 3 different cameras? Shame about the line running vertically down but that could be removed perhaps? Thanks for sharing!! |
| oligneisti 08.11.2018 12:43 |
Just realized, this was on the day I was born. |

Excellent Footage!! And thank you Chin for sharing :) |

Can Chief upgrade this footage a bit? |
| vivaqueen 08.11.2018 22:36 |
MERCI BEAUCOUP |
| The Real Wizard 08.11.2018 22:59 |
Amazing that this nearly 40 year old footage suddenly pops up. Never seen video of Brian in that outfit at the end of WWRY - just marvellous. |

There's also a little editing mistake I've just noticed, around 3:13 when Freddie sings "but I've come through". It looks as if they've spliced the footage just as Freddie finishes the line (look at Freddie playing the piano) :) -Chin |
| MemeOverlord69 09.11.2018 04:25 |
Freddie and having a shitty voice in Zurich Name a more iconic duo |
| Harry_queenrecordings 09.11.2018 07:45 |

| Chinwonder2 09.11.2018 19:27 |
The audio on the concert itself is also a tiny bit off :) -Chin |
| tilomagnet 09.11.2018 19:48 |
This is great footage, but it may also be the worst rendition of WATC that Ive heard. That was a bit painful to be honest. |

The good quality here makes it even more evident. But this is pretty average for the period. Mercury's voice wasn't great for much of 77-79. |

Yeah, even late 1978 isn’t too bad but early ‘79 shows like Dortmund and Brussels aren’t too hot but the April and May Japan shows are a no go! Haha -Chin |
