I was there too wiv me mate Brian. got there late just as Quo finished there set. Big Country were crap I thought. . .best memory was some girl walking down through the park with a mini skirt that was just about on. .stepping over all the blokes, i was getting some sun and thought it was a cloud going over, but when I looked up all I saw was a fanny looking at me. we had to laugh as she walked down coz every single bloke in front of us she stepped over sat up in amazement. . .were you one of em?
I was there - having been to (Wembley twice and Manchester all in the same 5 days). I still have all the same friends 25 years later...even though now we only see each other for Birthdays ending in zero.
@hombresh According to google translator you said "Brian himself said that no official recording of the concert Knewboth" . Well that's not true. The DoRo team filmed this concert for the documentary, the only question is HOW MUCH did they film, we know that they filmed at least the second half of the concert (from Is This The World We Created till God Save The Queen) - clips of various songs filmed by the DoRo team were released in various documentaries
at 3:24 you can see Mary Austin ex girlfriend of Freddie Peter Straker Freind of Freddie Jim Hutton Freddie's partner and the the guy in the background is Nikolai Grimchinovich who is led to believe was the bloke who infected both Kenny Everett and Freddie Mercury with AIDS as they shared lovers
My dad was one of the 120,000 luckiest people in the world that got to go and see this - his first and last Queen gig - and a gig he still maintains is totally unmatched by anything else he's seen since.
this gig lives long in my mind,as the best live concert ive ever been too,i remember big country and quo were supporting with big country on first,you could actually walk up to the front of the stage when bc and quo were on. then about half an hour before queen came on it seemed like a million people from no where just turned up,but wow what an experience.
@dogsonstring Yes, quite right. I remember everyone just sitting around whilst the support groups were on. Like you said it was easy to walk around the site and even to the front. That all changed for Queen however! Great days.
@satualm Well to be honest the audio comes from the official album "Live Magic", so it's a soundboard recording :-) Only the video is an amateur recording
@peteface24 - The Live Magic tracks were recorded in Wembley (1st night - Is This The World We Created ? , 2nd night - Hammer To Fall) , Budapest (A Kind Of Magic, Under Pressure) and the rest comes from Knebworth Park
@pittrek81 What is your thoughts on the Electric Magic Bootleg? I bought it many years ago as my first ever bootleg, cost me a fortune at a trade fair. In my opinion the boys are on great form, and it obviously has sentimental value, but the boot itself is awful... i don't know why so many fans like it... so tinny and flat.
@killerqueen501 You're right, it DOES sound very "thin" . If you want the best audience source for the Knebworth show, get "Thank You All" by "Wardour", it should come directly from the master tape
If this concert will be published as well as being dedicated to any victim of the public, will be the last publication of a live concert of the group, in my opinion is not out yet for that reason alone. After the film will be released on Freddie and Queen will be the media attention to publish new works.
@smilzomagro I honestly didn't understand a word of what you have written. All gobbledegook to me. My apologies of English is not your first language.
Many people fail to think. This concert was filmed and recorded for the simple fact that there was a large screen. How do you think they got all those pictures on the screen? It took a lot of cameras. This is the last concert of the Queen at all. Before this concert will go out a reprint of other concerts, such as Budapest.
I was at this concert, at the front, of course it was filmed, I watched the cameraman walk past me all through the concert. Fantastic memories of that day.I MISS YOU FREDDIE xxx
I have a conspiracy theory on all of this, first of all no way did Queen not film this concert it was filmed its just because somebody got stabbed in the audience and later died in hospital that the band decided that it wouldn't be in the best taste to release this and secretly took a vow that this concert because of that would never ever be released. It was the biggest concert and last of the tour. Queen didn't film this bullshit they did and one day it will be released.
According to Brian May it was filmed and transmitted live but, alas, everybody thought, pushing the "record" button way someone elses job. So apart from the transmission travelling endlessly through space, there's nothing left.
Queen had an idea that this may be their last concert, Freddie told them. I wish they had thought to record the whole concert professionally like they did with Wembly. Oh well....
From what Greg Brooks replied me on Queenzone, they have something more than half of the concert filmed + a lot of pre-concert shots and backstage interviews
where did you get the magic years part from? the quality is awsome! I wish I could have the whole series with such quality, any way u could post some more of it?
the best music is already been written in 70ties and 80ties, it will never happen again

@pittrek81 Sorry mate we didn't. There were 6 of us.
I was gutted when I learned that the official line was that no official recording existed of it.
I bought spare tickets to sell down there and didn't bother trying to sell them in the end.
Cannot find them anywhere, unused tickets from Knebworth.
What I do remember is the police coming onto our coach looking for the people who'd stabbed the fan.
