Hello All,

It's the raw footage as I have on file, unedited, untouched, and I thought of finally releasing it all after so many years. It covers some private footage of Freddie Mercury during the time period 1986-1990 where you will see footage of Freddie at Garden Lodge in 1986, as well as Xmas 1989 also the video shoot of I'm Going Slightly Mad has been recorded, his visit to Mary Austin in December of 1990,  as well as one of his last trips to Montreux Switzerland  (al though in the latter he does NOT appear apart from hearing his voice in the background)....and some footage of the flowers brought to Garden Lodge after November 24th 1991 as well as some additional footage of Freddie's Garden and the Koi fish pond...

WARNING: The video quality is not always great at times, but it's how it was saved on tape (and transfered to DVD). If you think you can upgrade the quality, please do!!!

I really do not care if there are Queen fans who dissapprove of this video getting out in the open. Those who want to see it , can download it, those who don't want to can ignore the download link. It is that simple.

I used Utorrent to create the actual upload-torrent, and I hope it does actually work

Again, this is NOT professional HD (lol!)  footage  of any kind, just home made video shot on a low grade video camera ... and there are 4 video files totalling 2.39 GB.

I hope you enjoy and cherish this footage,and appreciate my personal  "Christmas Present for 2011" to all Queen fans around the world.

TRS (a.k.a. Stefan)

PS I am on a 120/10 Mbps connection, so the seeding of this 2.39 GB should go pretty fast ...

Thank you very much! :)

Something seems to be working so thanks for this.

Here a screenshot of my Utorrent program regarding this torrent:

You have to install a Bitorrent client (for instance Utorrent), then click on the link in the first post I made, and it should allow you to start the download of these video files which then will be saved on your computer.

Be aware that the total file size (4 video files) is 2.39 GB, therefore if you're on a slow connection it will take some time ...

Anybody else managed to download this torrent??

@pittrek,

Does it work now? And does it show the 4 folders (with the 4 AVI files?)

You're welcome. Consider it my present for Queens 40th anniversary! Again, I need to stress that this really VGA quality, and sometimes even very grainy, as the footage was shot at night (Christmas 1989) without too much light. But it does give you some insight into the life of Freddie Mercury and there are some lovely snippets which we can all cherish.

If someone can improve the quality of the footage, or to re-do the video files into one file, that would be appriciated. The 4 AVI files I have were taken directly from a Betamax tape (where the original video tapes were transfered to).

Meanwhile below the screenshot from my Utorrent program showing that it is seeding to many users already.

Has anybody (out of the 70+ people who downloaded the torrent) managed to get a 100% download ?

thank you very much the download works 100% all the best and have a great xmas :)

By the way, the first torrent was working as well. It only made you upgrade to Utorrent 3.0 wich is not abig deal if you ask me. Thanks for going to the trouble for making the torrent and sharing this us all!

amazing stuff, thanks...

Sounds amazing....can some upload this or seed this, unfortenately no seeders at the moment.....
thank you

Glad you liked it :). Until now I've seeded over 44 GB, and in the next couple of days I'm going to stop seeding assuming that other people will continue to seed it or share it on the Queen hub.

By the way, feel free to "improve" the video quality (as in some areas it's pretty grainy) and as I mentioned before, this is a straight copy of the "original tapes" I have, and I have done no effort in editing it, or improving the video quality as there must be other people who can do a far better job than I can.

on beyond thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VLC player opens almost anything. Try that and let me know if it works.

Hello Stefan,

Peter
