January 1979 saw Queen once again reach the UK top ten, this time with the energetic Don't Stop Me Now. Once again, an attempt at capturing the band live on stage, the promotional video was shot by Jorgen Kliebenst at the Forrest Nationale in Belgium.

The video is, like many of Queen's seventies clips, somewhat primitive. Shot with a single camera, the band were somewhat artificially grouped close together on the stage, so that Freddie's piano stands almost directly below Roger's drumkit, with John and Brian standing close by. Unlike some of the previous promos, however, the director didn't choose to focus entirely on Freddie - the entire band were well represented in the finished product, and the use of film instead of video upped the visual quality of the piece, something which cannot be said for Roger's bright green and red outfit! The video, first included on the Greatest Flix VHS compilation now features on the'Greatest Video Hits 1 DVD.
