This 2 hour special is absolutely excellent! It was created by the same people that made the 'Magic Years' series and the 'Champions of the World' video. There are interviews with his mom, sister, aunt, cousin, Brian May, Roger Taylor, Peter Freestone (his personal assistant), Mary Austin (love of his life and life long best friend), Jim Hutton (his last live in lover), a member of his 1st band The Hectics, several of his close friends. Have the tissues ready, as you're almost guaranteed to shed a tear at the end of it!
03.11.1982, Tokorozawa (Seibu Lions Stadium), Japan
The last concert on Hot Space Tour. So as you can hear Freddie's voice badly needs a little rest ;-) but I kinda like this "special" performance of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and 'Teo Torriatte'. Unfortunately a major part of the concert is cut, but the available is superb !!

Queen were the first major rock band to play behind the Iron Curtain. The tickets were sold out very quickly although they were available only in selected shops (and to selected people). Queen decided to film this special concert and borrowed ALL Hungarian film cameras ;-) The result is pretty good, both picture and sound quality are excellent.

Queen were stars of the Rock In Rio festival in 1985 and played on two nights there. Unfortunately, Queen weren't on top form and neither were the Brazilian cameras :-( Nobody is perfect ;-) but Queen is always worth watching (Freddie looks smarter without the wig!). The video is as usually heavily edited and is a compilation of both nights. Medium visual quality.
