1981-09-26 Caracas
The following concerts can't be shared:
1981-11-24/25 Montreal (Official Release)
1981-03-21 Sao Paulo (I don't have this one, somebody else maybe ????)
MP3-"bonus" for this year will be:
the Monterrey concert from 9 october 1981 (two different incomplete sources)
Both recordings are downgraded to crappy MP3 quality with a low bitrate. Normally I say not worth for sharing, but it is an missing concert from 1981, so I share it (take it or leave it!).
Some extra information:

Queen
Tokyo, Japan
Nippon Budokan
February 13, 1981
At last, I managed to track down the first generation recording of this show. It definitely sounds better than the silvers on the Gypsy Eye label. This is one of my all-time favourites. Excellent sound, great atmosphere, great show overall. Roger's tympani solo is missing (presumably for a tape flip), but the recording is otherwise complete.
Lineage: AUD > Master > 1st Generation Tape > WAV > CDR (x) > WAV > GoldWave (pitch correction) > FLAC frontend (level 8)
Distribute these files only if they are left completely unaltered. As always with my shares, be sure that this recording is not made available at Queenzone or elsewhere in mp3 or any other lossy format. Keep lossless files lossless.
Enjoy!

1981, 18 Feb.
Tokyo, Budokan
CDR > WAV > Remastering > FLAC (level 8)
Sound: good
Source: audience
Comments:
The last night at the Budokan of a set of five shows. Unfortunately the sound is below Japanese standards. The show itself has some surprises: an improvisation of 'The millionaire waltz', some Japanese tune before 'Love of my life' (anyone knows the title??!?!?!?) and 'Teo torriatte' as last encore AFTER 'We are the champions'! Furthermore, it contains part of the soundcheck. I removed some clicks and corrected the pitch of the soundcheck (which was too low). Enjoy! Cheers, Tim (Epic Dreams)

[b]06) 1981-02-28; Buenos Aires (Pitrek Best Of The Best)[/b]
Date: 28.02.1981
Venue: Velez Sarsfield
City: Buenos Aires
Country: Argentina
Running Time: 87 min.
Soundquality: Excellent-
Taper: Unknown
Lineage: Unknown (AUD > ... > CDR(x) > WAV > FLAC Level 8)
Review: Great soundboard recording from the first night in Buneos Aires 1981. It was broadcasted live on the radio in Argentina. The soundquality is almost Excellent. The only thing is that there is some tape hiss and it has too much bass in my opinion, but nothing bad actually. The song Dragon Attack has a fade out, so Now I'm Here(Reprise) is missing. Same for God Save The Queen is also missing, so this is not the complete concert. Rare performance of the full song Rock It. A release from gypsy eye label. Very enjoyable concert.
[b]07) 1981-03-01; Buenos Aires[/b]
Ripped by myself from the Snowproducciones double DVD (On the first disc the 01-03-1981 concert; on the second disc the three Bueonos Aires concerts from 1981. I have ripped this one from the audio disc (stereo channel) with DVD Audio Extractor directly to Flac level 8.
[b]08) 1981-03-04; Mar del Plata[/b]
This recording sounds like what Martin has written on his website queenconcerts.com:
"Comment: Sound dropouts, average sound quality - only for die-hard collectors! But this complete recording is very rare and was compiled by myself from several sources."
I have downloaded this recording from the queenhub in two FLAC files.
I have cut these two big flac files into seperate tracks with a program called "CD Wave Editor" directly to FLAC level 8.
Sorry, no lineage known.
Thanks to the original tapers (unknown) and uploader (marcoekelo from the Queenhub) Thanks to Martin from Queenzone for compiling this bootleg from several sources.
[b]09) 1981-03-08; Buenos Aires[/b]
Date: 08/March/1981
Venue: Estadio José Amalfitani
City: Buenos Aires
Country: Argentina
Source: Audience Recording/FM Broadcast
Quality: Very Good +
Comment: Last night in Argentina. This is a very rare complete recording of this show, it's a 2-source mix. The soundboard recording is VG- and audience recording VG+ which is a little unusual. 1st generation copy.

[b]10) 1981-03-20; Sao Paolo (Pitrek Best Of The Best)[/b]
Band : Queen
Venue : Estádio do Morumbi, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Date : 20. March 1981
Recording type : multi-source compilation
Following is a "slightly chaotic" description of this compilation
The original audio (from the original TV broadcast) had a couple of gaps.
I have filled the gaps with the 1984 rebroadcast (if I remember correctly I've
used the full intro from it, and WATC / God Save The Queen). It still had some
small gaps between songs and there was a fade out/fade in effect between Tie
Your Mother Down and Another One Bites The Dust. Fortunately the video had
these small bits, so I have added them where they belong.
The compilation of these 3 sources was my "version 1". But them Olivier shared
on QueenZone "Morumbi Stadium 81" which has the best sound, but it's
incomplete. So I have taken the songs which ARE on this bootleg, and they
replaced the songs on my "version 1". This is the "version 2".
So from memory it should be something like this
WWRY fast, LMEY, PTG, STL, Save Me, NIH, Dragon Attack, NIH (reprise), FBG,
LOML, KYA, solos, Flash, The Hero, CLTCL, BoRhap, TYMD, AOBTD, SHA, WWRY, WATC
and GSTQ are from "Morumbi Stadium 81", the full intro from the 1984
rebroadcast and the rest from your 1981 broadcast.
A HUGE thanks to josedequeso, SirGH and ruth.olivier from QueenZone for
providing me with the sources !

Sorry, no lineage known.
Thanks to the original taper (unknown) and uploader (unknown)
This is a mix of two sources from the first night in Puebla. There are still a few parts missing between songs, but this is most likely the best quality and most complete version of this concert we'll ever hear. About 95% of the show comes from an almost excellent first generation tape, and I filled in the gaps with an inferior source. The better source was shared at Queenzone last year in mp3, but luckily I managed to track down the lossless version.
Source 1 lineage: AUD > Master > 1st generation tape > WAV > CDR (1) > WAV > FLAC frontend (level 8)
Source 2 lineage: AUD > Master > cassette (x) > WAV > CDR (x) > WAV > FLAC frontend (level 8)
Priceless moments: During the middle of NIH, Freddie reacts to the rowdy audience throwing shoes at the band: "Feels like bloody Chelsea Cobbler, I tell you!" (for those who don't know, Chelsea Cobbler is a men's shoe store in London). And at the end of the show, he says "Thank you for the shoes! Adios amigos, you motherfuckers! You bunch of tacos, goodbye!" However, it's worth noting that on the second night, these were his closing words: "Thank you for being a totally different audience tonight. We all thank you." The stories often circulate that Queen's concerts in Mexico were horrible for the band, but the bootlegs reveal that it was just the one concert in Puebla that gave them problems. Fans who attended the Monterrey show have also said their concert went smoothly. As for what happened in Mexico outside the concert venues, that's another story!
Distribute these files only if they are left completely unaltered. As always with my shares, be sure that this recording is not made available at Queenzone or elsewhere in mp3 or any other lossy format. Keep lossless files lossless.
Enjoy!

All these concerts are checked with Audiochecker to determine the source of these files (lossy or lossless).
If Audiochecker has some negativ advise, I have checked the concerts also with Tau-analyzer.
If okay with Tau, I see them as lossless source, if not I have added the "(probably lossy source)" words to the file-name.
Very dissapointing to have so less information for you all. Lot's of unknown sources, but better this than nothing :)
I don't have any lineage of every single concert because some are downloaded from the Queenhub.
In the early days of the Queenhub, sadly, it wasn't normal to create txt files with lineage info.
Thanks to the original taper/uploader of this concert where/who ever you are !
Have a good download and keep things lossless which are posted lossless and lossy what is posted lossy here :)
If somebody has better quality versions (or lossless versions from the lossy one which is posted), please think about sharing it here at least I would like it !! ;)
If you have some additional information (about source desciption, tapers info or uploader info, maybe even lineage info), please let me know !!

Review: Great soundboard recording from the first night in Buneos Aires 1981. It was broadcasted live on the radio in Argentina. The soundquality is almost Excellent. The only thing is that there is some tape hiss and it has too much bass in my opinion, but nothing bad actually. The song Dragon Attack has a fade out, so Now I'm Here(Reprise) is missing. Same as the song Fat Bottomed Girls and God Save The Queen are also missing, so this is not the complete concert. Rare performance of the full song Rock It. A release from gypsy eye label. Very enjoyable concert.
Fat Bottomed Girls was not played at this concert.

[i]According to QueenConcerts.Com Second night in Sao Paulo 81::
Comment: First seven tracks are radio sourced, the rest is an audience recording. As the setlist proves, this is a [b]rare [/b]genuine complete recording of the last gig of the summer South American leg in 1981. Some tracks have really crappy quality, some are quite "good".[/i]

Only 5 or 6 tracks are marked as lossy, the mainpart is lossless according to Audiochecker.
Remind: Quality is sometimes really bad, so Audiochecker can be wrong.
I didn't check with Tau this time.
