The Brussels concert from 12 december 1980 because I couldn't find a lossless source for this MP3-concert (anybody else maybe ???)

This is a third generation recording of an excellent early Game tour gig. The quality is superb, and surely an upgrade of all previous versions. Unfortunately the last track is TYMD, but at least we have most of the concert. Save Me cuts out at the end, so we're missing Now I'm Here as well. It's awesome to hear Freddie sing Need Your Loving Tonight like the record version, because his voice was in such good shape early on in the tour. For that song alone, this bootleg is worth obtaining, but the entire show has Freddie in magical voice. Brian's guitar solo is a bit long and wandering, but he really does create some pretty things this night. Overall, this show is one of the very best.
Lineage: AUD > Master > 3rd Generation Tape > WAV > CDR > WAV > FLAC frontend (level 8)
Distribute these files only if they are left completely unaltered, and always include the lineage information. As always with my shares (and preferably everybody else's!), 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!

I received this recording directly from the taper himself, so it simply can't get any better than this! It's a truly excellent recording. I can't see why anyone would want to distribute anything else from this date, as this version renders all the others obsolete. It is my goal that this share accomplishes exactly that.
This is one of my personal favourites. A fantastic concert. Enjoy!

Second of three nights in a row at Madison Square Gardens. It sounds a bit distant. It's a clear sound though. Very energetic performance of the band. This night they played 'Dragon attack', which wasn't played the night before. The usual 'remastering' done (removing some clicks). Enjoy! Cheers, Tim (Epic Dreams)

I have received it in a trade labelled as "best version around". I'm not sure if it's the case, but I have the version which I dowloaded a few years ago from Queenzone, and this is definitely MUCH better quality and features the complete Keep Yourself Alive.
The tracklisting is exactly the same as on the Breakdown bootleg "Hello Paris" , is it possible that this comes from this bootleg ? Could somebody confirm it ?

This is the best source available so far.
Note there are some slightly clicks at the end of Save Me and during the Now Im Here on disc 1 (probably a cd-r failure or something...)
The show misses 3 last tracks: WWRY, WATC and GSTQ and also SHA is cut after 0:50. But it's the best version we can get at the moment!;) Correct me if I'm wrong.

Here's an upgrade of the Frankfurt 80 recording. I know a better version exists with a wider stereo sound, but this is definitely the lowest generation copy I've heard yet (a friend of mine traded for the tape from a German collector in 1984). This is a great, energetic show from the boys. Listen to Brian mess up on the piano at the beginning of Save Me. It takes a few seconds for he and Freddie to synch together again. This is probably the best recording of Queen's rendition of Imagine we'll ever hear. This is also one of the best recordings of Battle Theme. It didn't last long in their live set, as they dropped it after the Japanese '81 shows.
I've also added God Save The Queen is from from the "Imagine" bootleg on the Gypsy Eye label. They used the common source as well, and added Sheer Heart Attack and GSTQ from an inferior alternate source. But unfortunately, the two discs are plagued with digital clicks and noise. GSTQ luckily didn't have too many clicks, so I was able to clean most of that one up, but it was impossible to salvage SHA (if it even is genuinely from Frankfurt).
Lineage of GSTQ: "Imagine" (Gypsy Eye) silvers > CDR (x) > WAV > GoldWave click removal > FLAC Frontend level 8
Distribute these files only if they are left completely unaltered, and always include the lineage information. As always with my shares (and preferably everybody else's!), be sure that this recording is not made available at Queenzone or elsewhere in mp3 or any other lossy format. Keep lossless files lossless, unless it's for your own use. :)
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.
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 !!
greetings

Holy shred, holy shred, holy shred!!!
Oh, my! THE GAME TOUR. Do you folks know my motto? Don't you? You should know it by now! It goes like this: give me a gig from the Game Tour and make me happy. ;-))) Think about it: making me happy means preventing a person from becoming a terrorist! Because we have to deal cleverly with the issue of terrorism! I'm such a potential terrorist...
I'm already hinting at my birthday present... ;-)) Hehehehe. So my birthday gift has also a geopolitical aspect to it - you give a present and you help the world!
Thanks a whole, I almost used the Word, but no, thanks a whole lot, Bokkeppot! Thanks, many thanks, this is stuff for life. I'm listening to the gigs from the Hot Space tour, I've been enjoying them so much.
Now the Game Tour...my poor heart doesn't stand so much emotion!
Thanks, Bokkeppot! This is a treat!

Dear sir, Again I must thank you for uploading all these shows. I'm sure it's quite a chore.[/QUOTE] As no-one has the Minnesota show from 82 I was VERY happy to see you had the Minnesota show from '80. Obviously I lived there at the time but I never got to see them. (I finally saw Q+PR in Miami). [/QUOTE] I must say that I enjoy cross referencing what I have to see what I don't have.[/QUOTE] Now that you've gotten this far I think I'm becoming a bit selfish as I eagerly anticipating more tours.[/QUOTE]
