Hello .

I’m hoping beyond hope that you may possibly have some video footage of Queen live at Sunbury in 1974?

Thank you for your time .
Daphne.

What was the name of the support band for Queen on this tour when they played in Perth? That band also played Bohemian Rhapsody that night.

I was extremely fortunate to have met the boys in 1976 for their Perth gig. They’re not bad pool players!
