“the only Queen concert ever shot on film”… besides the “Kampuchea” concert, a complete concert shot on film* in 1979, partially transmitted by the BBC, and surely resting in the “Queen vaults”. You can find bootleg compilations of different sources. Please Brian, release this in a proper form.

*It looks that it was shot on film but it could be a video transfer to film.

This is NOT the only Queen concert shot on film. I own a 16mm print of an entire Queen concert in Budapest Hungary from 1987 – bought it on eBay from a collector in Budapest about 3 months ago. It runs about 98 minutes and is not a video-to-film transfer. It may have had a limited European release under the title “Magic” but I’m not certain. So there.

I saw Queen at the Forum in Montreal in 1981. It was and in is still one of the best shows I have ever seen. Funny, I ddn’t even know they were filming. I was 16 years old and bought the tickets for 12$. What a night and what a show. Absolutely unbelieveable
