The Best Of The Best - year 1978

Hey, thanks guys and mylady :-)
I should probably start preparing my presidental speech :-)

Have you done any improvements to the Vancouver gig? Or did you simply split the tracks correctly?[/QUOTE]
No changes, I have only re-edited the tracks

All right, thank you. We have the same version :P

Wow... great work!

For 1979 I think Newcastle 4.12 can't miss...

Thank you. :)

I'll try to give Pittrek a little help and attend, whenever possible, user's request to upload the files to mediafire.

It's all part of Pittrek's series. The files were either provided by him (Paris, 78) or by SirGH (in this case, Chicago78). I took the info given by Pittrek.

So, ALL - and I mean ALL - the thanks goes to Pittrek's magnificent project and SirGH's relentless dedication to the band.

I just uploaded them to mediafire.

Thanks a lot pittrek!!

Thank you very much, Pittrek!!!

Great wonderful stuff as usual.

Although a little pity that only one show from NOTW part was included. I've heard that Vienna 02.05.1978 from 2nd generation tape is really exellent and definitely one of the best show from this year. Hope that this gig will be uploaded whenever.

Thanks a million, Pittrek, for your job!

Thanks Yara, I'm sure a lot of cat haters will like your mediafire reuploads :-)

Interesting idea, it's a great concert, but my copy is far from perfect. I've checked queenlive.ca and also Bob rated his version as B+, Mr. Scully rates it as VG-. Does a better version exist ?

My Vienna copy doesn't sound as good as the recordings I have uploaded, but of course if somebody has a better version, they can upload it :-)

Here are the mediafire links for the Montreal 78 gig as shared here in this thread by Pittrek. It does sound a lot better and the speed is finally corrected! Thanks for the wonderful job, Pittrek, as always, it's really nice to listen to the concert in such a good sound!

His words:

"This recording I am bringing to you is the best version of this concert I could
find. I have received it in a trade with a respected trader, labelled as
"unconfirmed master copy". It finally runs at the correct speed. I don't know
how other recordings sound but sound of this one is much better then anything
I have hears until now from this great concert."

All credits to Pittrek. I just upoloaded it to mediafire.

The venue: Montreal Forum, Montreal, Canada, December 1th, 1978.

Sorry, Yara, but some of the mediafire files seem to be corrupt or missing, at least some of the Paris 78 files. Does anybody else have the same problem?

------- EDIT -------

All my own fault, it works perfect now. Thanks, Yara!

Thank You Pittrek !!!! Your project is a big success for this community

And again You are “The Best of The Best”

I also want to thank Princess Yara for your invaluable support, grace and charm

And all involved


For the next year would be great to have some of this

Newcastle 12-4-79
Frankfurt 2-2-79
Osaka 4-20-79
Rotterdam 1-30-79
Paris 3-1-79


Cheers!

Rotterdam & Paris are great concerts, but the sound is far from excellent.
Maybe I could upload them not as the part of the series but separately ?
