Haha! Imagine Bo Rhap from the concert (if it got recorded)!

Well let's see. Probably got everything in the verse, he probably took a shot at the high C in that song in WATC

Or probabily not. Maybe it was one of the best concerts ever made or maybe "only" a great show. We don't know; we have only one song at the moment. I only hope the recordings are in decent quality to hear their best songs; even if we don't  know which songs are available in this recording.

That's great.

Of course it would be ideal if a properly transferred version - lossless - would be spread around:-)

Haha.. !!  I'm on vacation (and possibly drunk ;), so I'm not getting to the computer every day.  This is amazing news!  Thanks to everyone who's putting in the work to get the recording out there.

As for the recording not being on my website.. naturally one can't know about every tape source that is out there.  All I can do is assemble the knowledge into one place once it's known.

Looking forward to more, should it come out.  Freddie is clearly at the top of his game (no pun intended) here.

Hahaha Hi Bob! Yes, this is amazing news. If you haven;t heard it yet, I have uploaded it to youtube on my channel thebiggestqueenfan. I will let you know when I get more songs from the taper...it might be soon or it might a little while. All I know is from what I have heard so far, Freddie seems to being having an amazing night

Yeah, pretty much what jamster1111 is saying is the whole story!

We are waiting for some more material from this guy! He says that Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and We Will Rock You are in decent quality, and he's going to try to to "salvage" the tape.

Thanks Greg and all involved in this new recording. An early '80 gig would be fantastic!

You are welcome!

I agree!

You are welcome! The thanks doesn't go to Greg and Me, it goes to the taper

Yeah, if it weren't for that guy, the Queenzone community wouldn't have known!

Are you directly in contact with the taper or with the friend of the taper?

I thank all concerned: of course the taper but also you for bringing it to us;-)

Is it now for sure that this show is Vancouver?

I remember reading a post by someone - in a discussion about great vocalists - who said that he saw both Freddie and Robert Plant in their prime in Vancouver. The Queen-show was Vancouver'80 (don't remember whether he mentioned a specific Zep show).
He said both sounded equally impressive and that Freddie hit everything perfectly during that Vancouver show he saw....

So...:-)

Well, I don't want to jump to conclusions (it's still kinda early), but the guy believes it is from the Vancouver 1980 show! According to his emails, he received the tape (with the Queen stuff), from a friend who is a big fan of the band (who saw them on several early Game tour gigs).

If what you said, and what my contact said match up: It IS the Vancouver show!

Me and Jamster1111 are in contact with the guy (via email). If we get updates, we'll post them here!

Here's what we (Jamster and myself) know so far:

1. The guy has confirmed 3 songs on the tape (Rock It, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Will Rock You)
2. He's currently trying to get the cassette tape "repaired" to get the sound quality a bit better (for more songs hopefully)
3. He's going to transfer the cassette tape stuff onto a CD and hopefully get it in a digital file form
4. He says "Rock It" was the first song recorded
5. It's an early Game Tour show (Vancouver-Inglewood time-frame)

This is what we are working with, right now!

Ya Greg is correct. But I think it is most likely vancouver and that's what we should go with now. If the taper says it's from vancouver, than it probably is. 

Also, maybe rock it was the first song recorded on that side of the tape?
