Queen - Hyde Park 1976 (8mm)

#Queen #HydePark #8mm
Some information below as to how this treasure came about.
Previously uncirculated, this is a great quality 8mm film of the famous Hyde Park show. A few years back about a dozen Queen collectors combined forces to buy this silent film reel from an online auction for a pretty penny - with no guarantee that it was genuine, or that it was in good condition. The reel eventually arrived and was safely digitized, much to everyone's collective relief. Further costs were incurred to have it transferred to digital, coordinated by Brian's Wig. Audio was later synced by Pittrek (it is no easy task to sync two analog sources playing at different speeds), and a digital image clean up was done by Chief Mouse.
What more can be said about this landmark day in Queen history? Now part of it can be enjoyed from audience member Steven Patten's perspective, who filmed it from the front row. He only brought along the one reel, so it's just over three minutes of footage, with the bulk of it being of Queen's first two songs. The audio of Bohemian Rhapsody comes from the "Free In The Park" LP, and Ogre Battle's soundtrack is from a higher generation copy of that same audience tape. Appropriate audio of the opening acts has been dubbed as well.

Amazing, looks like time travel is possible

[@ChiefMouse]

Now, there have been several uploads of this on youtube earlier today by people who didn't directly participate in the sourcing, cleaning up and sharing this film. While I hate to contribute to the clutter, I think I owe an upload to my subscribers, especially since I worked on this clip. Thanks to Steven Patten (who shot this), Brian's Wig, The Real Wizard, Pittrek and others who contributed.

[@AlphaGeekgirl]

Mouse, you can never be accused of contributing to the clutter. Much appreciation for all that you do.

[@LoveIsAnOldfashionedWord]

Are you kidding? You literally clean up the clutter! Even my notifs know that, since yours was the first one I got. (I've had three since!) Wishing so badly Steven Patten had carried more film with him that day.

[@melancholyfreddie3411]

Chief, i didnt participate but in mi video i give all the credits to you and to all the people who made this sourcing.And as you well know I don't earn anything from the video and if I have uploaded it is so that more people know Queen and great people like you and all QueenChat. Thanks and sorry for my english.

[@ChiefMouse]

@@melancholyfreddie3411 That's quite understandable. I meant nothing personal. I just felt I needed to explain myself because there were 6 or so uploads on youtube already before I managed to do it as the Wizard hadn't told me exactly when he was planning to share it.

Mi querido Queen, me encanta esta grabación tan antigua.

Hopefully, at this rate, the Newcastle and Liverpool 8mm films will be in circulation.

If you watch it in 1440p on KZbin, it looks almost as good as pre-YT-compression version.

[@ChiefMouse]

That's exactly why 1440p is advised for videos where detail / grain preservation is critical :)

[@BobHarley]

@@ChiefMouse Also it forces vp09 codec

[@ChiefMouse]

@@BobHarley Never used it. KZbin will recompress regardless.

[@BobHarley]

@@ChiefMouse right click on the video, go to stats for nerds. It is vp09 codec everytime the video is 1440p+. And it's a huge difference between this and avc1 codec.

[@ChiefMouse]

Oh, I see.
