[b]Comments / story
[/b]Having seen Q+PR in concert 6 times in 2005 and being very disappointed
by the Q+PR album release "the cosmos rocks" I decided to sell my Q+PR Rotterdam 2008 ticket.
I also sold my standing area ticket for the Antwerpen show and bought a 25 euro (second hand) ticket instead wich only gave entrance to the standing places on the balcony at the back of the arena. At first this seemed an ideal place for shooting footage at the concert, but it soon turned out it wasn't: too many noisy people and a too much security. During the first 3 songs shooting decent footage without being caught seemed impossible so I had to hide the camera a few times. That's why the first 3 songs have cuts and bad sound.

During "Tie your mother down" I took a little more risk and climbed over to the seats in the back of the arena.
This turned out to be a very good decision: at my back and front and on my left and right side there where
no people at all (the show didn't completely sell out). As a result of this the sound quality improves a lot
from "Fat Bottomed Girls" onwards. No audience chats at all. "Time to shine" was played and the overall performance of this show was quit good (especially Roger Taylor!) So although I didn't like (and still don't like)
"the cosmos rocks" album, and didn't like the 2008 tour as much as I liked the 2005 tour, my last ever Q+PR show was a good one!

Having seen Brian May for the first time exactly 10 years prior the
this show (Utrecht 98) and wanting to videotape him by that time already
(but being unable to do so) this show was a nice end of an era for me.


Please keep this recording lossless. No mp3! (unless it's for your own use)
Trade and share this show freely! Don't sell it or pay for it!

Enjoy!

Interesting share. Can somebody tell me if this is better then Olivier's recording ?

Great share, cheers mate.
I've been using Vegas too recently, it's very good.

Thanks a lot !! Added to the index !

Yes, Vegas is nice isn't it? So many options in that program. I don't use anything else these days..

Thanks for the sample. I'd say that your version has been recorded closer to the stage, so it's definitely worth downloading, thanks a lot.

BTW why do you record audio with a video camera ? :-)

Yes, I think this version has a much clearer sound ! The difference lies in the equipment used, an audio recorder for me, a video recorder for Dennis. I don't know what is the real difference between both (I always heard that video recorders put less emphasis on the sound and more on the video, whereas an audio recorder doesn't have the need to choose ;o)), but it's nice to have all those different versions of a show in existence, really interesting ! There are two other ones, both Martin's recordings (and he usually gets good results with his recordings). And maybe some others too !!

Olivier,

Like I stated in the comment/story and info file, my recording is from the absolute back at the arena.

I think Martin's recording is possibly the best (recorded from the standing area) but it has audience chatter and singing on it. 
 
In my opinion the definitive version would be a matrix from Martin's recording with the audience chatter and singing bits patched up with another recording (mine?)...
