ANNOUNCE: Third night in Leiden 1986, Magic Tour, complete alternate source

Hello Queenzoners!
 
Yes, believe it or not: this recording was extremely rare up till now. For more info, please read further.
 
This share is dedicated to all hoarders of Queen bootlegs and people who call themselves “elite traders” because of their collection. In reality, most people get their gems by sheer luck. Like myself. Sure, I did my best in obtaining it, but in the end it all comes down to finding the right people at the right moment. Traders who act like they actually recorded a concert and act like they are so special and can’t stop bragging about that: you should be ashamed of yourselves.
 
I also, and above all, want to dedicate this share to the wonderful people who shared a lot of Queen bootlegs in the past: Bob, Peter, YV, Ginger01, Yara and many others. You know who you are!

I can't seem to enjoy it by just "sitting" on it. It feels good sharing this with you guys.
 
Did I consult any fellow Queen traders concerning this? No, I did not. It’s my own, individual choice.
Are the days of being taken seriously by Queen collectors over? Probably, yes. Do I care? No, not even in the slightest.
 
This should be mentioned: all credits go to Cor Klarenbeek who recorded this concert. He’s not a Queen fan but such effort should be awarded. Thanks Cor!
 
Okay, warming-up’s over. Let’s do some business, shall we? Action!

Comments:
 
Very rare, genuine and complete recording from the third night in Leiden during the Magic Tour. The only part that is missing are the first two verses and a bit of the guitar solo of Boh Rhap (batteries change & security passed by). Luckily another source has it complete, so a complete mix can be made. There are tape flips, but no other parts of songs are missing. There is only one ‘real’ cut, as stated above. About the recording itself:
 
Negative:
 
-         It isn’t very clear in general
-         There’s tape hiss
-         2 long tracks on each CD (although this can be fixed easily)
 
Positive:
 
-         Freddie can be heard singing really well!
-         The audience is great, singing almost every word and talking a lot (Dutch that is, some very funny comments and interesting things can be heard!), but this does not disturb the recording itself
-         A great atmosphere in general
-         It’s as good as complete!
-         Although it’s only G+/VG-, you can really enjoy the recording with headphones

It’s the last show with Freddie in The Netherlands, therefore a special recording.
 
Lineage:
 
AUD > Master Cassette > WAV > CDR
 
Some re-mastering after transfer : A bit of de-hissing and noise reduction.
 
Some info about taping this concert:
 
The person who taped this isn’t a Queen fan. He loves rock music in general and decided to see the guys just “for a nice night out”. He was a bit worried as he was stuck in a traffic jam shortly before the concert! He luckily managed to get out in time as he started his tape recorder right before the intro of One Vision. He missed the support act though. Funnily enough, it was the first thing he did when he had entered the venue (and passed the security): preparing his recorder. He clearly didn’t want to miss a thing. Not a fan, but such effort is truly remarkable! He was standing near the mixing desk when he recorded the concert.

Thanks Rick.
Those pictures take me back to the late 80's when I was buying bootleg cassettes from Record Fairs!

Hi,
it seems that the key you provided for the first part of CD2 is invalid.

Could you please check and provide it again?

Huge thanx in advance.

Thank you very much! Great share!

Great news! Finally it is there! Thank you very much for your upload, Rick!

Hey Rick, so you finally decided ? :-)
OK, thanks for the motivation to share something special again :-)

Fantastic!  thanks Rick:-)

Maybe someone can split the tracks and torrent it?

I really like this show. I'm really looking forward to hearing this complete version!

thanks again

You can easily do this yourself with a free shareware program called cdwav editor.

Rick this is fantastic, thank you so much. Unfortunately I also can't download the first part of CD2 - mediafire is saying that the file has been deleted :(

I'm going to have a play at mixing a complete version of this concert and will stick the results up on QZ if I don't make a complete mess of it! ;-)

Rick,

Thanks a lot for sharing. Very generous.
I don't really understand the bashing of the so called 'hoarders'. I mean you DO realise that the people
you thank for their generous shares (Bob, YV) are the same people who hoard recordings (just like I do)
One can share some recordings and hoard others at the same time. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion.

Hoarding hasn't always something to do with plain greed. It's the way the Queen trading community works on
a certain level. I understand you don't like it that way anymore and decided to share. Must feel good I guess.

I'm planning on sharing some rare recordings too, BUT just like Bob, YV and others I definately 
will keep on hoarding some. 

Oh and, of course, after this post of yours we can't do trades anymore now ;-)

Also, as a fellow taper, huge thanks to Cor Klarenbeek for taping this one!

I know;-)

I was just thinking it would be nice to have this running as a torrent aswell and such a torrent would be even better with the tracks already splitted.

My words :-) Above all I don't understand why some people who share here need to keep reminding others how "brave" they are (fighting against collectors for some reason, probably). I think the best sharers are those who don't expect anything in return (and that includes admiration from others :-)

If people share, thanks to them, if they don't share, it's not our business why they don't. Why create borders between people?[/QUOTE]
