The Videos

There is 9 different variants of video for Killer Queen.

The first version was recorded for Top of the Pops in October 11th, 1974 and it's in full with color. This version is also on official releases.

The second version was recorded for Top of the Pops in October 11th, 1974. This is supposed to be a take 2 of the first version as it's almost the same. It is unknown if this version was broadcasted but it can be viewed in full in color with good quality other than the fact that it was cropped to 16:9. This version is also on official releases like the first one.

The third version was recorded on November 7, 1974 for Top of the Pops but is lost. The first 30 seconds is very badly damaged and was featured in the "Days of Our Lives" documentary in 2011. It's in average quality and in color but the first 30 seconds or so is very badly damaged as people are still looking for the full video.

The fourth version is from November 21, 1974 also for Top of the Pops but is completely lost as no photos or video exist, barely little is known about this performance but according to people photos supposedly exist.

The fifth version is for Avro's TopPop and was recorded on November 22, 1974 and is found in complete color and good quality as it was released in documentaries and on some TopPop compilation DVD's.

The sixth version is for Avro's TopPop again recorded on the same day November 22, 1974. It's lost and only pictures exist today.

The seventh version is titled "Killer Queen, Kid Jensen's Christmas Rock with 45" which was recorded on December 25, 1974. The only evidence that this event existed was a newspaper article as no photo or video exists.

The 8th version is for the documentary "Days of Our Lives" in 2011 and was featured in the bonus features on the Blu-ray version. This version uses the second and third versions together. Nothing else to note about it as it was made for the documentary.

The 9th version was released on July 3, 2017 on Queen's official YouTube which has the 2nd version of the song but with English lyrics on the screen. Nothing else really as it's exactly the same and the 2nd other than with subtitles.
