Due to the continuing popularity of the 'We Are The Champions'/'We Will Rock You' combination across the globe, on the same day as the shoot for the 'Spread Your Wings' promotional video, Queen also found time to run through two or three takes of 'We Will Rock You', despite the increasingly cold weather.

Again, shot in the grounds of Roger's new home, this is a very basic performance video of which two versions have been released. The first and most common was included on the 'Greatest Flix' video in 1981, but an alternate version was found whilst preparing Queen's first dvd compilation, 'Greatest Video Hits 1' and was included in place of the existing edit.
