Thank you very much, John, these are treasures! :D

For those that cannot access Megaupload, like me :), I uploaded the bigger file to www.massmirror.com :

How could I download it, if I don't have access to Megaupload? Well, I dedicated 1 hour to try dozens of proxies and different combinated tricks and finally got it. I can detail it later, if anybody is interested.

Cheers,

Sir! Firstly, thank you for the opportunity to hear these. Secondly, and perhaps less importantly, please just ignore the naysayers. Those of us who watch the boards know what's what.

Cheers again

These demos don't sound like Brian playing to me. The recordings go out of time and are very stuttering. You can hear also when wrong keys have been hit. If you compare the quality of the keyboard player to Brian playing Butterfly or Save Me live then it just doesn't sound like the same person.

If I heard these without any introduction, I would assume that they were a queen fan with a synth and some sheet music.

These things happen, even with the best piano players. They are demos, after all.

I can see you point though, but I think JSS is a reliable source ;)

While I appreciate your candor and right to your opinions - a 'Thank-you' would still have been nice regardless.

Strangely enough, the same argument could be made for Brian's 'Sleepy Blues' - he doesn't sound too professional there either. I guess that's why they are called 'home recordings'.
