Thanks very much to Olivier for uploading this, and Ginger01 for uploading as torrent!
Wow, just when I was becoming a little blase about Queen and thinking I have every show worth having- a gem like this comes along! I've been a Queen fan for more than 30 years, and did not even realise the band very briefly incorporated a 'Flash Medley' into their set (or if I did know, I had forgotten!)
I wonder if anyone has some thoughts to offer regarding the track listing given in the artwork- specifically, Disc 2 tracks 3 and 4, which are listed as 'In The Death Cell' and 'Execution Of Flash'.
Listening to track 3, I guess some kind of similarity to the track on Flash Gordon can be discerned. Track 4 in my view bears no real resemblance to 'Execution Of Flash'. In Greg Brook's excellent 'Queen Live' book, both tracks are given the generic description 'Instrumental Inferno'.
And without wanting to be a party-pooper, according to the above-mentioned book Fat Bottomed Girls was performed after Now I'm Here (Reprise). So, is this recording missing a song or is the listing in the book incorrect? Would be interested to hear some thoughts...

You're exactly right. Good catch.

The book is wrong, and the recording is right. A recording simply can't lie, especially when there are numerous sources for the show. Fat Bottomed Girls was dropped for the Feb 13-18 shows in favour of Need Your Loving Tonight on the 13th and Rock It on the final three nights.
While Greg's first book was impressive (even with all the errors), as it was written in the mid-90s before the internet made research easier, there is no excuse for the hundreds of errors in his recently revised version. It is generally accepted by most serious Queen fans that his latest book is not a bulletproof reference for Queen concert information. Nearly half of the setlists are wrong, mostly ones from the 70s, as he would simply copy and paste setlists that were wrong to begin with, just to fill in otherwise empty space. I could write an essay on the subject, but instead I've got a website of my own to clarify such things.
Between www.queenconcerts.com and www.queenlive.ca, you'll find pretty much everything you need to know on the subject.
Check out this thread about 'the Japanese Mike Millard'.

Ok, so as indicated :
"Mr. Peach recorded approx. 300 concerts I was just informed! He did not only tape in Tokyo but also in Kyushuu, Nagoya and Osaka his friend from Tarantura told me. I have MSG in Nagoya and Clapton in Kita-Kyushuu for example".
It is also said that he was already recording shows in 1974 (the oldest listed), nothing listed after 1981.
That still makes a long list of possible shows recorded by Mr Peach... Dear Mr Tarantura-who-you-are, please take notice that the Queen community is showing a lot of consideration to what you could issue. You can start pressing !
Many thanks for the link, I was myself thinking that I had some homework to do this evening about that Mr Peach. Thanks to you this will be much more easier !

That's really interesting. But did you notice that according to that website Young Nobles Of Rock is NOT a Mr. Peach recording ?
