The next Queen video was shot in Dallas, Texas at the Convention Centre on 28th October 1978 during rehersals for a tour of North America and Canada. Made to accompany Queen's double A-sided single 'Fat Bottomed Girls/Bicycle Race', until recently only the footage shot for 'Fat Bottomed Girls' was ever seen.
Directed by Dennis De Vallance, 'Fat Bottomed Girls' is again a basic performance video at the band's insistance - Roger has since claimed that Queen "got very fed up of all these ridiculously contrived videos that people were coming out with around then" and wanted something basic, relying on their powerful stage precense and their enormous new lighting rig (nicknamed the 'Pizza Oven' due to the phenomenal heat it generated) to sell the song.
Unfortunately, the band were far from happy with the video. Freddie struts about the stage in his PVC trousers, but the rest of the band are barely glimpsed - and neither was the impressive backdrop.
Brian: "A very dissapointing video, I think. The set was wonderful and we had that fantastic Pizza Oven, but I'm afraid Dennis de Vallance's direction hardly captured the beginnings of it. And the edit shows Freddie and very little else."
The promo has been widely available for many years on the 'Greatest Flix' video, but still unsatisfied Brian and Roger were hoping to create an alternate edit for 'Greatest Video Hits 1' - only to find that all the unusued footage from that day has been lost, presumably forever.
