Do you know what the difference are between these?
Do you mean there are different version from the Tube broadcast?
Difference? Length, camera angles, quality etc. I would like to correct myself: not many, but some versions exist. Different broadcasts means different versions.
I believe there are different versions of the Tube broadcast, but I'm not 100% sure.

If your mate was the imbecile who said
"These lights cost a fortune, I don't know how much they cost"
in a single sentence, then
a) he may prefer some socks
b) I understand him no longer using the same name...
Sorry to butt in, I can't help with the video but I just wondered if those people who have this original Tube broadcast can confirm if it has the unedited version of Fat Bottomed Girls complete with Freddie's "locality" error? I have only heard it on a bootleg but on the DVD he doesn't look like he's just screeched out such an awful note!
I used to have it and I can confirm he sounded like something had just been inserted in an orifice- on the line "no beauty queens in (insert cucumber or similar) this (remove) locality...." etc
The "this" lyric was a tad strangulated and off key to say the least
Not a bad performance though on the whole, and "the hero" was an absolute barnstormer of a first song- much better than one vision on the magic tour
What was the opener for the works tour btw?
