Queen - Milton Keynes 1982 (pre-concert footage)

Channel 4's 'The Tube' broadcast on January 7th 1983 and never repeated in full.
I was at this gig on June 5th i.ibb.co/n3PzT...

Channel 4 started in 1982, using this concert to help advertise their new channel. But we had to wait until January 1983 to see it. This was the very first TV show I videotaped.

John really liked that shirt. Wore it on like 5 occasions

Freddie had a unique charisma and personality. Freddie was already a spectacle even before he went on stage.

So often you see negative recollections from the music press archived from the era, so it's awesome to see genuine fans who have nothing but love to give

Fredie Mercury The world's King👑

And.... Queen incredible

I still don't know who he is, but Freddie's in great spirits until he looks at someone behind which really pees him off... twice!!! Apparently, he's tossing and catching a bandage, before tucking it into his pocket, after partner Bill Reid bit his hand in an argument.

0:23 if Freddie saw this, i wonder if he got mad with that because he didn't like when people treated him as the leader of Queen

Does anybody know what the attendance of this show was?? Did anyone here go to it??

[@kurgan46]

Yes I went, but didn't count everyone 😄

@@kurgan46 haha ok. I hope you had a great time. I just read in an article that the stadium was relatively new in 1982, so there was a maximum capacity of 40,000. I wasn’t sure if that was true or not. Where were you standing?? At the front , back , side??

@@srirahulpremkumar1600 I wasn't particularly impressed with the venue. It seemed to me to be just a huge dug out pit. I thoroughly enjoyed the concert though and the sound and lighting was great.

[@kurgan46]

.... I was somewhere in the middle, standing.

@@kurgan46 that’s amazing man. I love queen so much. They are my life. I’m literally listening to their album “jazz” 1978 while I’m typing this comment.
