1985.01.19 Rio de Janeiro - 25th Anniversary Edition

Queen

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Barra da Tijuca

"25th Anniversary Edition"

This is a merge of six sources to nearly complete the show in the best possible quality.  Many thanks to Harry for a clean copy of the audience recording, which is used primarily for disc 2.

Over half of the show comes from a soundboard or video source, making this version of Queen's epic last South American show a very pleasant listen (although there is the occasional disturbance of Spike Edney's keyboards and vocal being up high in the mix of the Globo TV source).

Brian's solo spot, Radio Ga Ga, and God Save The Queen are still slightly cut, presumably for tape flips on the audience tape.
