50 Years of Queen - German TV 2020/04/18

I can record it. But I don’t know, how to make it available for others. Uploading on YT won’t work, they will delete it immediately. It’s also very long, almost 4 hours (ads included). 

If nobody else is doing it, I will record it. And then I will see, what to do with that file. I‘m sure, someone will be able to help. 

Is there an English Version of this?

Never mind. You win some, you lose some!

Some very sad scenes.

When it's in colour its even more revealing.

I will capture the HD stream from their website. Sadly recordings are encrypted on my TV, so recording it through my TV wouldn't help.

I read they also included parts of an interview with Adam Lambert. In the TV programe it's mentioned exclusive that the band has a new frontman to tour with. So be prepared for footage from the recent days and months, too.
Kind regards,

I actually expect that. When you make a documentary about 50 years of Queen, you shouldn’t leave out the last 10 years. 

I watched it as well and recorded it on my receiver. Since 2 other fans said, they would record it as well, I didn’t record it on my computer (yet). IF no one else got it AND people want to see it, I could get it onto my computer and share it. But it’s really a looong video with 3+ hours. And in German. 

The beginning (first 15-20 minutes) was a bit off for me, because they constantly jumped all through these 50 years. I think it was to give casual viewers an overview of what to expect from this documentary. But still weird, because 5 minutes would have been enough for that.

After that, the story telling went from the beginning up to 2020. Most of it was footage, that I had seen before in other documentaries. I think most of the talks were new though. Roger had a big part and talked about the time from the beginning until now. Brian’s parts were old. Then there was a lot of very interesting new (at least for me) stuff from Reinhold Mack. And, as someone said before, Ratty and Phoebe (not that much) gave their views on parts of the story as well.
I too enjoyed hearing the bits about the work with Bowie. The storytelling of the Queen story from 1970 to 1996 (No one but you) was really enjoyable to watch.

What I thought felt off, was, how they squeezed in the last 23 years of Queen. I know, it’s not the main part, but 15 minutes for all the stuff from the Tribute concert, the Musical, Queen+Paul Rodgers and Queen+Adam Lambert was too short. They actually took the Tribute concert and the documentary „The Show must go on“ and picked short bits of the footage and interviews out of it and put it together, often out of context. The Queen+Paul Rodgers era got about 1 Minute. The musical 2. It felt like they jumped from 1991 to 2011, because time was off. But that’s my only criticism.
Otherwise it was a great watch and I even watched the repeat this afternoon.

I saw on the German fanforum, that most of the documentary wasn’t new, but part of a similar 40 year documentary. I don’t know that one. Maybe someone can tell more about it? I think I will check that out on YT to see, what was actually new. Or if it was just a Mix or the old one with the QAL documentary.

I was at the Queenzone forum yesterday asking about an upload of this, it would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

EDIT: I did stream it and tried to listen to whatever is audible under the dubbing (aside from that I didn't understand any of it), and thought that Roger's interviews were familiar but I couldn't remember exactly where they were from?

So who is it that said Deacon suffered from depression the whole time? Was it Roger?
