Aparently Lynott thought it was the funnist thing thing ever.

Wasn't Jonathan something to do with that?

Yes - I was in the video - was one of the miners - can be seen walking down the steps just to the right of the band as you view it.
They were using a lot imagery from & similar to Fritz Lang's Metropolis film that they did the soundtrack for (well - the remastered version anyway)

The intro was kind of a camp piss take of Coronation Street, and the middle section is an homage to a Nijinsky ballet piece called "The Afternoon of a Faun" which was contoversial in its day (1912). Mercury was a self confessed Ballet nut and a big fan of Vaslav Nijinsky who was considered one of the best ballet dancers ever.

How they decided to cobble all that together into a video is anyone's guess.

Was a great day filming and hanging out and chatting to the band.
Often meeting your heroes can be a letdown - thankfully they were everything you could have hoped for.
