In his book GB wrote that both this shows were filmed by queen for their archives!!I really hope this info is true because it would mean that we have video-versions of some very rare songs(body language,calling all girls...)But why didn't they include more footage in the On Fire-dvd?Do they want to keep this for a big next release or whatever?
Parts of Vienna are on the bonus disc of On Fire At The Bowl DVD.

Vienna '82 is partly filmed, I believe 30 minutes. But it is filmed horribly shit!
Just 3 camera's, 1 camera from behind the stage so you can only see their backs from that shot.
1 camera somewhere in the audience, wich is the best one, but still IN the audience, so nothing better than a normal audience shot. And 1 camera behind the public, so it is filmed WAY to far away. And apart from that the quality isn't fabulous. I first even thaught this was a compilation of 3 audience shots! (Like Slane Castle'86), but this thing was actually DIRECTED. By Rudi Dolezal, so it explains a lot!
There are like 20 minutes oncluded on the bonsu DVD of On Fire.
Osaka '82, is actually Seibu Lions Stadium, somewhere near Tokyo. A nice proffesional recording excists. In Japan they once released a VHS containing 1 hour of that show. And like 30 minutes of footage is included on the bonus DVD of On Fire. Personally I think it's not such a good show, and not very good filmed. But the quality is amazing.
I know about these two shows from on fire-dvd : tokyo and vienna.I just think it is odd brooks writes in his book that these two shows(vienna 2nd night and osaka)are filmed while on the other hand queen say they haven't got any more footage of hot space-tour!!.I think this is an important matter since that footage could be great with great performances.The man should read his stuff twice before he releases it and check and double-check his info!!

As I said:
There ain't no Osaka, that name is often confused with the Seibu Lions Stadium show.
And there indeed is a Vienna '82 but I believe incomplete!
