Hatchetaxe&saw Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b011p...ves_Episode_1/# Part 2 is on BBC2 tonight, followed by the legendary 1975 Hammersmith gig. This doc is truly superb, most Queen die-hards will know most of this, but there's some fantastic rare footage of them live, in interview and in the studio, in particular a clip of them running through Champions...fab.

Good,bad,andrush Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 That's great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) Even more exciting than usual for me since I just recently got into 80s era Queen in the past month. Too bad I don't get that channel so I'll have to wait and hope for Netflix. Edited May 30, 2011 by invisible airwave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KW84 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) Someone uploaded the first part on youtube. Queen Doc Hopefully they will get the second part. Edited May 30, 2011 by KW84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony R Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Yes, it's on BBC and so far it has been quite good. Next part tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosy Toes Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I thought it could have been a lot better. It was a tad too anodyne for me, and surely they could have forced Deacon John to give a few modern day words, somebody must have a cattle-prod and his address FFS. A bit more on the Paul Rogers thing would have been welcomed too. If Queen had carried on half as good as the 75 Hammy O show, then I'd be a Queen board Troll for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgeranacoke Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 TY for posting this, I enjoyed the first part but it is really not a top notch documentary, a bit light in the detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Watching the first part now.. Queen were loved, of course there were some critics, but why does it need to be so emphasized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Queen had carried on half as good as the 75 Hammy O show, then I'd be a Queen board Troll for sure If a Beeb doc can't get Deacon John to speak, then nothing will. I admire him for it though. I liked part 1 in particular, part 2 was a bit thrown together, with no discussion on the Flash Gordon soundtrack!!!! Quelle horreur! It was the most honest Queen doc I've seen to date, but yes, they could have dug a bit deeper. I'm glad they gave Hot Space plenty of time, I still love it, camper than John Inman's caravan. Quote of the doc, Roger on The Sun, who hounded Freddie, "F*cking wankers". But it was the unseen clips and pics that sealed the deal for me. Fabulous dears, absolutely fabulous.

Bastille Dave Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) I've heard that '75 Hammersmith show and I would love to see them in action. If this is a dvd then maybe VH1 Classic will show it sometime soon. I wish Queen would release more of their early years, either on dvd or live shows or whatever. Their first live album (Killers-1979) was released way too late. Most every band should release their first official live album in the middle of their prime, Queen waited a few years too late.

John Deacon, the inoffensive boring one. All of Queen were more or less all round good eggs, and I'm sure all of them would give you the time of day - unlike Captain Happy - despite them being more famous than he ever will be.

Great story that. Apparently he used to record his own shows and TOTP must have been on either before or after. Ludicrous that the Beeb has lost so much archive footage from the 50s 60s and 70s!

A mate of mine met Roger in a lift once in a schmancy hotel. Taylor was very friendly, my mate froze, nothing came out, bar maybe a dribble elsewhere.
