"25th Anniversary Edition"

This is a merge of four sources to nearly complete the first night in the best possible quality.  The uncut video source is quite a few generations away from the master, so the sound is muffled.  Three other sources fill in the gaps.  Under Pressure has a small cut, but the show is otherwise complete.

I would have shared this along with my version of the Jan 19th show last month, but I was holding out for the Globo TV source (many thanks to Claudio for it!).  I Want To Break Free was also broadcast on TV, but after years of searching I've more or less thrown in the towel.  If it ever turns up, I'll update this thread.

I realize that a fair chunk of this is from a 1985 official release, but the VHS simply can no longer be found for a legitimate purchase, which means Queen Productions won't lose a penny from this.  If people interested in this download were around in the mid-80s, they probably bought the video back then too.  That said, if I'm asked to remove the links by the powers that be, I'll do so without hesitation.

==================================

I spent years tracking down these different sources from places all over the world.  What exactly have you contributed to this place again?

Stop picking fights with people.  I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish.  At least learn to speak English first.

He's probably just jealous!

No jealousy, no anger, merely I said that I have heard.

Freddie just sounds fantastic!!!! The band is perfect! You can feel the energy is different from the rest of The Works tour.

The job the guys did with these files is just great! Congrats, guys!

For the ones who don't know, the last file contains the theme song for the festival Rock In Rio, which was held for the first time in January 1985. Some people might find the language different. That's Brazilian Portuguese.

Thanks again for the perfection in the job of merging millions of sources to provide us with this great concert in its entirity!!

Thank you again!
