23 minutes of the show were shot on 8mm film. Despite being amateur footage, a couple short clips of it appeared in a 2012 documentary on Freddie Mercury called The Great Pretender. Much of the footage is shaky, but some of it is downright brilliant.

This is the last time Freddie wore his silver lurex leotard. He came out for the second encore with a bunch of bananas on his head and threw them out into the crowd. A fan, David Hall, recalls: "I also remember someone throwing back a banana and Freddie catching it without seeming to look."
