Queen
Tokyo, Japan
Nippon Budokan
May 9, 1985
This is an upgrade of the already fantastic recording from Queen's last ever show at the Budokan, from the good folks at the Wardour label. This show is one of my personal favourites, as Freddie Mercury's voice is unbelievably powerful on this night. This is surely the best show of the Works tour in my eyes (two days before the officially-released one, where Freddie's voice isn't quite so strong). Wardour claims their copy is from the master, and I have no reason to doubt it. The sound is impeccably clear, with no flaws in sight.

This is probably the best sounding source from this historically significant concert.
[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]Review taken from http://www.queenlive.ca/queen/85-05-15.htm [/QUOTENAME]
This is the first appearance of an alternate source in superb quality
which is, in fact, quite possibly the best-sounding audience recording
ever made of any band. It rivals and perhaps even defeats the infamous
"Listen To This Eddie" recording of Led Zeppelin from 1977. It appears
lossy in a freqency analysis, but it was probably a DAT transfer of
some kind. It sounds squeaky clean, like no other. The microphones must
have been stereo and placed right in front of the speakers, as the
audience is barely heard.
About 95 minutes of the show are from this new source. There
is a cut in Radio Ga Ga for a tape flip, and the recording ends part
way through I Want To Break Free. The folks at Masterport did a fine
job of patching in the LP source wherever necessary to complete the
show. The cut in God Save The Queen is also filled in with a third
audience source.
The portions of Ga Ga and Break Free on the alternate source
after the tape flip don't sound quite as good as the rest of the show,
but this isn't a reflection of the original tape, as these portions of
the songs sound pristine on the Wardour version listed below.

Nice job Pittrek! The 2 japanese gigs are really good!
What's your plans for '86? I'm thinking about Berlin, Mannheim, Wien as Knebworth has just been reuploaded.

Olivier - Tokyo is from the master tape, it's identical to the discs 1 & 2 from the silver you sent me
Daffy - I don't know, Mannheim will be there of course, but the rest is hard to say yet

Despite what a bootleg company says and how good a recording sounds, the lineage of a silver begins from the silver. Only when you track down the actual source tape can you be 100% certain of its lineage.[br][br]
