Queenlive.ca states:

After decades of speculation, it has been confirmed that a reel of 8mm film exists from the festival, 18 seconds of which are of Queen.

Did this film ever get released/digitized? If so, it is the earliest footage of Queen performing live beating the March Rainbow Gig by 2 months circa.

Would love to see it someday. As far as I know, this is the earliest confirmed footage of Queen performing live.

The reels got in hands of a collector two years ago. Very unlikely we'll ever get it, sadly.
