Oops - what's happening to my posts?? 8-S
...Anyway; a request to please not upload my Rotterdam and Dusseldorf 93 tapes in MP3...
If you guys have a little patience, I'll join the 'wave of May' and share some of my masters, including these (and some of my '98 recordings)...
(Hi Oli! - got your PM - my appologies - will get in touch with you!!)
Nice, nice, nice !!
I should find my posts with the different Brian May bootlegs I shared and start a "central thread" with the Brian May concerts, an index, just like I did with the 2005/2006 concerts and started to do with the 2008 concerts, so that people can post a concert and include the link in this index. This is truly missing in the sharing section !
Many thanks for you offer Jeroen!
Back to the topic now, I'm going to start an index in the next hours/days, feel free to add anything you want to add if that belongs with the subject, which will be Brian May quality shows. I remember having seen people posting Brian live collaborations and appearances here and there, from before 2000 and after 2000, I think they could be added too to that index, it should be a nice addition.
So, meet all up on Queenzone within a few hours and start helping !! If the success is there in the following weeks, let's hope we could start a Roger Taylor series too ! I'm dealing with the John Deacon recordings ;o)

If you don't want to feel annoyed with a lossless/lossy discussion, don't read the following !
Sorry LR-Tiger but I must say I'm not interested in your mp3s too, as you know. To be fully honest, I thought you could share some lossless recordings here, as I know your will to share. Queenzone is full of a "sharing spirit", not a "trading spirit", so if you decide to upload 15 shows, then feel free to do so, but if you start messing because you can't offer 15 shows against one, then this is more like trading, not sharing. I did like you once, sharing one bootleg (with quality standards) against one QPR show, and the concept was good, but I don't think people are convinced you will upload somrthing really lossless and therefore interesting. But I think you know your reputation.
To be clear and honest once again, you are some of the reason I'm slightly getting fed up with uploading. After the recent flood of mp3 I find that Queenzone is losing a lot of the quality it had won over the past few years. And not being a follower, but when I found this forum a few years ago, it's Bob and its shares that made me share too, I started sorting out my bootlegs to offer them here with the same quality standards, to offer new ones and to replace the older shares, that were lossy or from the mp3 era (long ago !). I decided I could try and bring something here but was too shy to do so, and didn't know how to proceed, then the light came from those people here with quality standards, I found it was not that difficult to follow the move and help people maintaining a community safe from very inferior material. I could replace all my mp3 collection I had from the old days even without an incredibly fast internet connection and so on, just a little reading and curiosity. Of course we won't sue Queenzone for not banning mp3s, this debate is over as we know, but this post shows once again that a good lot of people are concerned about quality. The fact that you feel attacked with every post you make with lossy material shows only that. The fact that up to now you are the only one defending this here in front of people who want to keep quality shows also that.
I can understand you feel upset if you still want to get stuck to the mp3 format, and don't want to open yourself to quality. If you did, you would be really precious to Queenzone and the Queen collecting world in my opinion. But it's everyone's choice, and yours is yours, let's hope this could evolve to something better.
So that was for my honest reaction. Sorry for attacking you, first time I think I "attack" someone personnally, but be sure that it's more the attitude and not the guy I shoot bullets at, of course. If someone else reacted the same way than yours, I would feel all the same. You still have my respect for all the rest of you, just as anyone.
End of the discussion (hopefully), sorry for being annoying to anyone else.
