As a few Queenzoners know, I have acquired a photographer's case from Denis O'Regan (official photographer to Queen, among other musciians). This particular case was sat upon by Freddie in Budapest - Denis took a picture of such, which you can see, as well as pictures of the case as it is now, on my website at link
Anyhow, this is the same day that footage was videoed of Freddie and Brian rehearsing "Tavaszi Svel", the Hungarian folk song, on Freddie's hotel terrace in Budapest, as seen on the "Champions of the World" video. First, I am wondering if any of you are familiar with the footage I am speaking of and second, I'm wondering if anyone knows if any more footage of this day in Budapest exists. I have seen other footage from this day in Torpedo Twins compliations - such as "Only the Good Die Young".
I would greatly appreciate any info you guys can provide. For fans in and around North Carolina, you're more than welcome to get in touch and come see the case and an original print from Denis of Freddie sitting on top of the case. It's quite a neat item.
Thanks you all.
My favourite bit is when John is walking down by the Danube and the little girl runs away from him. Strange, you'd think that with a brood like his he'd be good with kids...
