——————————————————————————

As suggested by @onegoldenglance, I think it was a clever idea to make a masterpost of these episodes for those who haven’t been able to keep track of what’s been shared newly. Also thanks to her for helping me on this struggling journey of craving, looking for new visuals from Pop Quiz and showing me if she finds anything :)

I have made a detailed search and this is the conclusion, I haven’t been able to find something new. I can only confirm that the third and the fifth ones are most probably recorded because we have footages and there are some screenshots from the clips which were used. Let’s hope that somebody decides to share them with us, one day.

If there is any missing footage or full video here, please inform me so I can correct it.

All the videos are finally found and added to the original post. I would be so glad if you can reblog this, which shows all the additions, so people can see all the videos.

In July and August 1971, Queen played eleven gigs in Cornwall - their first sort of mini-tour.

Roger Taylor has said that his mother wasn’t keen to have the whole band and their convoy sleeping on her front-room floor in Hurland Road in 1971 - it was getting over-crowded with roadies, girlfriends and hangers-on - so they rented a small three bedroom cottage just outside Truro, in the picturesque village of Devoran. (Queen in Cornwall)

John: “We stuck all the equipment into one van and sailed off. We rented a cottage near Truro and stayed together. It was good, because we got to know each other really well. It settled us as a group. Roger did manage to find us some gigs as well, so we broke even.” (Sutcliffe, Queen Illustrated History, p. 26).

One of the other smaller photos on the back of the first Queen album is an image of Freddie standing in the open countryside, in what looks like the estuary of the Devoran River. The band would have gone walking along the river that leads to Restronguet during their holiday there, and would also have visited Flo’s Bar, one of Roger’s favourite pubs. (Queen in Cornwall - opinions are divided on whether the pic really shows Freddie, or actually Roger.)

And finally, look at this postcard that Freddie wrote home (transcript behind the cut):

“So how does Roger generate so much sound? He’ll tell you it’s all in the wrist. “If you’ve got decent wrists, which I think any decent drummer should have, the snap comes from there,” he explains. “That’s what makes it loud. Also, you’ve got to be able to do perfect rimshots. That’s what makes the drums loud, not eight-foot long telegraph poles.”

party was 31 October, press conference - the next day morning.
