Maybe Audacity will work with raw pcm, just try it.

F|unny, my CEP doesn't recognize it and it asks for frequency and bits, I never managed to open it correctly

Sikke for president!

Thanks a lot!

I think it would be interesting if you arrange a donate-Sikke option for this great share... Let's see how much you'll get in return... :-)

So here is the one and only untouched virgin direct tranfer for all you audio extremists !

I hope this will work because I can't get the file compressed below 1 gigb. as mijnbestand.nl serves as it's utter maximum.

Hope you can all deal with this wetransferfile. Be aware it is a big one. Almost 2 gigb. for 40 minutes of music.

Linaege : Elektra reel to reel tape > studio > 24/96Khz PCm file , uncut , unedited, untouched, uncompressed, the most raw version.... nobody played it with like in opposite with your daughters c***..........

Certainly NOT a direct transfer of a reel-to-reel tape. More like an upsampling/ bit depth increase of an ordinary CD rip.
Don't know if it's the best sounding or the most complete version, but it's the most expensive CD for sure.

Thank you very much for this!

Well it is a direct transfer of a reel t r tape ! Pictures off the tape can be seen on my facebook page.

If this was a cdrip then from what cd were these generations of mtrmr and sad taken from?

The reeltape was brought to a famous dutch studio no amateur work here !


Why did ypu think this was a cd rip?

Okay finally this year the Rainbow shows will be released. Personally I think Queenzone is dead, it is full of trolls. What was used to be a expert website turned into a troll posting forum. I wanted to give you so much more. But the Queen world seems to be turned into a secret service , I trade this but you cannot trade it, or I give you this but do not do anything with it, you can buy this but don;t sell it…. The Queen world is the opisite of the other bands communuty which don’t feauture fantholgy’s,fake rumours, or any other hoardings….


Download the link below…. A secret and personal tribute to what (IMO!!!!) is the best ever Queen show recorded! No moustache, no yellow jacket, no big stage…just the Queen in it’s purest form.


Don’t say this is my last goodbye, but I am one of the few big time collectors which spent time, effort and money to expand his collection, rather than search for a download button like the most of you.This share was on eof my greatest finds in all those years!!!! So I hope you cunts and trolls will enjoy it !!!
Of course this one will be release don japanese bootleg cd soon , and hope Brian May will get the attention when he downloaded this show and notice how GOOD Queen played this night. This is really the best ever Queen show recorded !

Linaege :

Recording (trident) > REEL T Reel tape (elektra territories) > WAV > FLAC > Queenzonecunts !
PS : the first chorus had a right channel dropout for 1 second, which wa patched in with the radio reel tape source (ONLY AT THE RIGHT CHANNEL ) for the rest the tapes had a clean transfer ! Thanks for the patch : WERALZWORE !!

So don;t ask me for torrents, or a download button….If you do I hope you will die in agony !

Thank you for this share!

Yes, it's best although incomplete as always version of this epic concert.
I hope someday this concert will be released completely.

Just downloaded the tracks this morning. Absolutely awesome!! Thankyou so much. Only wish it was the complete series of Rainbow shows. Guess we'll have to wait for the official release. Can't wait if it's true it'll be released this year?

It is impossible to explain the cut at 22kHz without a 16/44 sometime in the lineage.

I had some trouble with this too I couldn't get it working in my traditional media players. I tried to open it in audition and it was asking me for bit rates etc too. I tried to open it at 96000htz and 24bit, It did open but it sounded horrific. It did eventually work when I prompted it to open 32bit float/96000htz using the import/ raw data option.

I did manage to open it easier in Cool Edit Pro after reading the advice here.

Thanks again to Sikke for the upload.

As 40th anniversary of two November and March shows was promised release compilation of both November night in new edit, and CD march gig.

+1. But it doesn't really matter. Thank God, generation is before noise reduction filter.

And it's a great sharing after all!

Thanks for the share, just to confirm this is from the Elektra reel 1-27-75 (Engineer Terry D.) ?

Well here is a pic of the original reeltape which I brought to the profesional studio.

What is the max output of a 7,5 ips reeltape ?

7 1/2 ips RTR is flat to 22kHz - 25kHZ and has HF energy beyond 30kHz

This is a genuine RTR transfer the cut off at 22kHz is a natural byproduct of the 7 1/2 ips format.
