Original Notes:
When I originally copied this from Fred's collection for myself on cassette, I was amazed how clear this
recording was and how close Fred sounded to the stage. I almost always performed EQ surgery on any copies I
made to try and smooth everything out, and this was no exception. This tape, like many recordings Fred did
thru the years, was pretty close to perfect already and didn't need much work to make it sound like you were
actually there, however the lowest tones of bass and kick drum were a little thin, and upper bass/lower vocal
range was a little jumpy. Well that's all fixed now. There is some noise associated with the original tapes
(normal bias "low noise" tapes!) but that should not discourage you at all. My copy sounded more pleasing
than the originals did, and even more refined when played into the computer for you now. I have chosen to not
process the noise out, and leave a little bit of the shit and corruption in. I think the background noise
gives this tape life and breath, and removing it would kill the atmosphere it brings. You will get used to it
after 5 minutes, and it's not noticeable at all over the music.
I have tracked this for CD in the way it was on the master tapes, leaving all sides uncut.
Side A is disc 1 (38:39), while sides B and C fit on disc 2 (77:27).
I have included scans of my color photocopies of Fred's original master tape covers for you, and a copy of
the cover of the 1978 tour book. I have no real artworx for this NEW MASTERPIECE, so if you make some,
please post them at TTD in the thread for this bootleg, and also please email me jpegs of your results.

My comments : The original flac files were very badly edited, for example Killer Queen & Bicycle Race were
in one file, and Brighton Rock was split into 4 different files. I have re-edited it correctly and share it
with you here. Also some songs had wrong titles. They are also changed.

Tracklisting :

CD1 : (38:39)
01. We Will Rock You (fast)
02. Let Me Entertain You
03. Somebody To Love
04. If You Can't Beat 'Em Join 'Em
05. Death On Two Legs
06. Killer Queen
07. Bicycle Race
08. I'm In Love With My Car (medley end)
09. Get Down Make Love
10. You're My Best Friend

CD2 : (77:27)
01. Now I'm Here
02. Spread Your Wings
03. Dreamer's Bar
04. Love Of My Life
05. '39
06. It's Late
07. Brighton Rock
08. Fat Bottomed Girls
09. Keep Yourself Alive
10. Bohemian Rhapsody
11. Tie Your Mother Down
12. Sheer Heart Attack
13. We Will Rock You
14. We Are The Champions
15. God Save The Queen

Hopefully I've gotten all the song titles right. (No, you didn't :-) ) If I've
made mistakes, it's only proof that I'm human. Feel free to post any
corrections or additions... Thanks for listening, hope you enjoy it!

Excuse the name given to the archive files, I spent a very difficult night and was completely exhausted when I created the rar files !!!

I think you need to download all four files before you can unzip them.

Thank you for sharing Olivier.

Thanks.  I will try again.

Thanks Olivier and all sharers for sharing this.

I could open the files after downloading all of them.  The recording is very clear.  The performance of Love of My Life is really beautiful.  Freddie sang it without audience participation.

Could anyone re-upload please? Or is the "Canadian Assault" version the same?

Canadian Assault has some hiss reduction done, but it really isn't any better.  You're best to go for this original version.  You can grab it at The Traders' Den too, where it was originally seeded.

Thank you very much for your share. Can someone made a torrent of this?
Thank you

The original rapidshare-files are gone, so time for new files:

would anyone be kind enough to upload this to mediafire? Waiting 10 hours for all parts to dl is a bitch :)

why don't you get a rapidshare account for a month, there are excellent working links! why are some people here so lazy that they expect others do to the work for them! why don't you thank RuthOliver for sharing this great concert and why don't you thank bokkepoot for his re-uploads? Try and find someone who burns it on cd with printed artwork and presented to you on a silver tray instead! (Sharing period of about 3 years and about 5 people who wrote some credids - amazing)

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

all better? ;)

No I shoulda thanked him. I understand, im on a multitude of boot forums for other groups. I would personally love a RS account for some Oasis dvds im tryin to get, but i dont exactly have the money to squander on such things right now. Im a 16 year old with car payments and college to save for. Plus I drive my band's equipment around so we dont have to pay a roadie at the moment.

I completely understand your point and everyone should thank everybody and share. I share if i can, but often others have shared before me or I simply dont have what is needed.

Concern for these things is good though :)

This is a fantastic show overall! It's one of the quintessential 1978 gigs to get!

Since this is from Pittrek's Best of the Best series, you can also select the concert and download from the torrent here:
