Thanks so much. They claim to have a lot more Freddie and Queen footage. They must bought a large amount of footage from ABC. You can see in the ABC sign apear when they run out of film half way through the interview. Interesting
Nice to see that now everybody can enjoy the full 20 minute interview. Freddie talks about a documentary being made (Bob Harris) and he holds the News Of The World which was just released.
He also talks about an award from the best british single from 1952 to 1977 being Bo Rhap. We all know the footage in which Freddie swings with his award.
I watched this early this morning, and I loved it. I've never seen it before.
What great respect and admiration that these two had for each other...I just want to give Barcelona a spin now. I shall do just that.

Wait, Freddie went to Australia just to promote the album? If I remember correctly there were no gigs there between 1975 and 1985.
They played several shows in Australia in 1976. And yes, I didn't know either they came to Australia in 1977 just for interviews.
Nevertheless, it is a fascinating interview. It is not so often that Freddie Mercury is so open to discuss the band work.

Nice sleuthing.
Great to see the whole 77 interview out there - it's a goodie.
The most interesting thing is probably where Mercury says the first album only took about four weeks to record.

Thanks! I meant to type 1976 :D What a shame that there was no minitour Down Under in 1977!
This is their website, and a search for Queen brings up quite a lot of results. I'm most interested about the Silent Concert B-Roll - 1977-05-17 (Rotterdam 1977), and a lot of material from 1979 which could be the various Brussels, Rotterdam stage footage. link

Nicely done. TYMD from Rotterdam 77 is in there too - that's good news.
The 1-14-78 broadcast is WWRY from Houston.
I wonder if their Brussels/Rotterdam 79 clips are longer than what was broadcast?

Hopefully so, I sent a little email to inquire if they could upload another Queen video to the YouTube channel. So, fingers crossed ;)

Excellent.
The Rotterdam 77 footage is by far the most interesting thing on the list. That's gotta get out.
Sorry to bring up old threads, but according to this video I ran into by QOR's channel, a timecoded version of the interview also exists at somewhere around the internet so I'm not sure if a VHS copy was shared here before at its entirety which i highly doubt.
skip to 3:39 or 4:44
