and watch out Bob's website, www.queenlive.ca, the Jazz tour will be the next to be added !


Comments : 24th gig from the Jazz Tour in USA and Canada. Freddie's voice was quite exhausted !
Fat Bottomed Girls was the last Queen single at the time, as Freddie said during the concert.
And I'm quoting Queenonstage here :
"This was the first bootleg cd out from this concert. From US & Canada 'JAZZ' tour.
Nice 2cd, only tricky thing is that a 'handclap' noise can be heard to clearly between
some of the songs. Photos on cover is from 86 & 85."


Artwork is included in the last archive file here (with this info.txt file).
Not that the format is not an usual CD box, the front is 11,9 cm x 13,8 cm, with nothing on the back.
The back is in fact a 4 page mini booklet, with Freddie image apparent on the back, each image 12 cm x 11,8 cm..
The box is a 2cd box in unusual format, with a flip in it containing the 2 cds, pivoting to let us pick and open the mini booklet on the back. Well, that's how I received my copy !
Note too that '39 was not listed on the 1st CD, but in fact it is here. I haven't added anything.

And, also in this last archive, you can find something, not really a review (if someone wishes to contribute,
feel free to !), but a list of What was said during the concert, between songs.
Freddie & Brian spoke french at some moments. A big thank you to Josedequeso for his help on that !!

Here is the artwork, info file and Word document with the words said by the band.

Now good download everyone !!!

Please bear with me if this is a bit slow - I'm seeding several (too many?) torrents right now but fear not - I will seed this until you complete.

Thanks to Olivier and Ginger !

Many thanks to both Oliver and Ginger for sharing this gig; download speed is average at 5 kb/s, I should finish the download in 1-2 days at least; oh well, while I'm downloading this I'm seeding other shows.

Thank you again,
best regards,

Riccardo

Riccardo, it will get better, particularly if other people who have downloaded this help seed (hint hint!). You should have it by tomorrow

A huge Thank You to both!

I can wait all the time it needs ;-)
I'm sure I can't have it by tomorrow since I live in the north of Italy and it's 11:30 p.m. here; 30 minutes to midnight!
Wanna hear a strange thing? If there are other leechers/seeders apart you, my PC downloads from the others, not from you!
Another mistery of the Internet...

Many thanks Ginger, now with this torrent more Queenzoners will be happy !!

I don't know if this is the best version, my first reference is bob's website www.queenlive.ca (he is a true specialist !!) but the website is not complete for the moment (what a bloody time it must take him !!).
so maybe it is the best version, maybe it is not, but I think that even if it is not the best version, it can be shared, provided the sharer doesn't say it is without being sure of it. All sources must be shared, provided we avoid confusion in people's minds. Here, I'm not sure it is the best version available.

People might be interested too in having a copy of all those silver factory-pressed bootlegs, because they circulated at a time, and havetheir own history. Remember the Zoom LP for instance. But we have to bear in mind that other versions of the same show can exist (in that case Gipsy Eye too made a version of this show), and that these other versions could be better. And bootleggers were sometimes crazy enough to use lossy files, as we discovered lately with the "Live In Vienna, Austria July 21, 1986". So take care of these recordings.
Also, with internet it is more easy to share, so maybe better versions are circulating and were not factory-pressed (these are the versions that could interest most people, in fact a lot of the factory-pressed boots are now out-of-date, I think we name these recording "RoIo's").

So, this is A version of this show. I maybe should have said this earlier, so I say it now. If a better version exists (the Gipsy Eye or another), it could be nice to have it shared next to this one, to inform everyone about that, and why not to have discussions on all the versions existing, much easier than to cruise down every forum (including this one) and websites to gather all information available. Of course we can refer to websites like www.queenlive.ca, www.queenonstage.com, queenconcerts.com and others. But for lazy ones or newcomers and so on, it could be interesting ! Don't forget we are not all Queen specialists here, and we can't know everything about every concert if nobody tells us once!

Many thanks once again for the help on this share Ginger ! You're greatly helpful to this community.

Regards,

Olivier,
France.
