| "The above lists all shows that were professionally filmed either by local tv or Queen themselves.
I think much of the Magic tour was filmed by local tv and who knows what other hidden gems may be lurking as yet undiscovered in archives of tv companies around the world, and in the the archives of Queen themselves. Maybe Greg Brooks can answer that one".
