Plan to start sharing "The Best Of The Best" bootlegs

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]pittrek wrote: [/QUOTENAME]1) How would you call a straight transfer of a silver-pressed bootleg ?[/QUOTE]

It's still a bootleg... although the lineage of the first copy would be "silver > CDR (0)". But something like the third gen transfer of Oakland 80 is definitely an RoIO, and not a bootleg, until some company presses it and sells it. It's just a cultural stigma... most people think all unreleased recordings are bootlegs, but it's a bit more complicated than that. Check out the glossary page on my website if you already haven't. :)

[QUOTE]2) Is it OK to put here pics from your site (with proper credits, of course) ?[/QUOTE]

Absolutely... and I don't think you need to credit me for pictures, as they're not mine (thanks for the thought, though)! I just found them wherever I found them, so they're anyone's to use.

[QUOTE]And a personal 3) it would be nice if you could find yourself the time one day and answer my e-mails :-)[/QUOTE]

I'm on it!

Peter, sounds like a plan if I can assist in anyway let me know

I think Megaupload could be great too, as we can upload far bigger files. But I don't really know it, I bought a two-months premium account in order to download some gigs from other bands, and I am quite happy to see that files uploaded more than 18 months ago are still available, but I don't really know all about Megaupload (available in all countries etc...).
So between rapidshare and mediafire, RS is the best one for me, even if downloading can be longer without buying a premium account.
But seeing all that could be sure, buying one could be a good thing, even for some months only.

In some countries is IMPOSSIBLE download something from megaupload.

OK the best server would be rapidshare then.

Sorry to be jumping on this late, but just my 2 cents, sounds like a really great idea. I was kinda hoping something like this would come up in time. Thank you!!!

I think it's a very good idea. i would like to have some of the best Queen's gigs in FLAC. A server like rapidshare would be very aprecciate too...

It sounds nice and great... But 2 things:

1. Not rapidshare please. I hate to wait 1 hour between downloads.
2. Will this include Queen + Paul Rodgers concerts too?

Hi Maruga !

Yep, rapidshare has onr only default is that it can be free, but you have to wait between two downloads. But why not paying 16,99 € for three months for example ? I did so, and finally paid for one year, just to enjoy downloading from Queenzone and other forums. I can't access to torrents. There are some of us who experienced annoying problems with mediafire, so this one should unfortunately be excluded. So I'm afraid the best thing to do is pay for rapidshare services, wait between downloads, or wait for a torrent to be created maybe. There are some of them already on this forum, but you know that, so I'm quite sure some of the uploads would be converted in torrents too. But my opinion is that they should be shared both ways, and not only torrents.

AS far as the QPR gigs are concerned, I would be OK if they were shared in this topic of "The Best of The Best". I think QPR should be placed alongside Queen, as well as solo stuff too could be shared. I missed quite a number of QPR gigs because of torrent-only sharing, and would be more than happy to hear some good stuff from them. Maybe I don't have the best ones !
Do you know which gigs from QPR you would like to be shared ? Let's choose two or three that could be rated as the best ones !
Maybe we should start the poll right now, in order to know what to share. Would you like to be the first to share your opinion about QPR gigs ?

Because right now I'm unemployeed and barely can pay internet access... That's why.

Overall, this is a great idea... but haven't many (or most) of the recordings in question already been shared here? Or am I missing something...? :)

[/QUOTE]Most indeed have! There are a lot of great recordings that have not been shared though, but these are in most cases not the essential ones(for example: Newcastle'86(master)

Slightly :-) I don't plan it as only a re-upload of old things, but as a compilation of best possible sources of best concert, and add there a lot of bonus stuff.
