 Thanks so much for this. Can you give us more information about the source and your recorder? Is this a digital source (satellite?) Or is it cable? I'm assuming you used a standalone recorder. Can you tell me which one and the quality setting (XP, SP or something like that) Is the audio (compressed) AC3 (dolby digital) or maybe (lossless) LPCM? Sorry for all the questions. Maybe you can give us the answers you have and someone who has finished the download can post the rest.  If this is truly an improvement over what has been available previously it would be nice to get someone who recorded it off satellite (with LPCM audio) to up a definitive version. Does anyone monitoring the Queen Hub know if there's another version there?

Unless it was recorded from a HD broadcast, the audio will only be MP3 anyway. No audio from digital broadcasts is lossless.

The ONE and only reason I uploaded this show is to give people a chance to see it while we ALL are in wait for an official DVD or BluRay release. As soon as such a release is available, my own recording will be stored into the archives.

And we all thank you for it. I wasn't trying to criticize you, but the persons standing behind this "remaster" :)

Don't worry Pittrek, I fully inderstood that.
But it's a good thing to know what's the source of a recording, no matter what.
In this case I had even uploaded this torrent before I'd seen it. I only edited material away that was before and after the show.

I sure hope we'll see the release of Hammersmith soon.

Since this version is from a cable connection.. it would be nice to have someone to compare THIS satellite capture to the Room 101 version.

Well I'm quite disappointed by this :( The video looks much worse than my old version, especially at the beginning (it gets better and better), but it has some parts which are not on the Japan rebroadcast.
But come on, ghosting in 2009 ? Especially if the previous broadcasts don't have it ?
The sound mix is terrible, I start to really hate JSS.  I thought Roger used a drumkit and not his kitchen equipment :( Brian's guitar at the beginning of BoRhap, his best ever performance is silent as never before. Didn't they used to have a bass player ? Oh wait, he starts to play around Liar, right.  But at least we have Freddie's Christmas references.
Not to mention the overdubs.

Well I'll stick to my old version until a proper official DVD will come out, I hope it will be worth the money.

Video : 7/10 (the 101 Rooms version - 9/10)
Audio : 5/10 (the 101 rooms version 8/10)

so what would you say which version is better? this one or one on that other thread 1.41 GB version.

Thank you very much, Rien - I am looking fvorward to watching both shares which are available here

Thank you very much for sharing Rien!!!

The 1.41 GB version has the better picture quality for sure.  The audio is about the same.

I wonder why is the rock'n'roll medley edited so badly. I understand they didn't want to use the original "closing credits" but they could do it as the Japanese folks - replace the video with different parts :( And I was hoping to finally hear the medley in stereo :(

But at least the sound is light years clearer than the previous broadcasts in the last few years..

This is just a TV mix.  It may be better on DVD... we shall see.

how does the picture quality on the sat recording compare to room 101?

It's very individual. Both look very good for 1975
