Something went wrong there.

O I am so sorry, you sir mrdata1968 are so correct.

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***..........

So hurry up it will delete itself in 14 days !

Thanks for this one. Sound is fantastic!

A good share, but why the insults in post 1?

Here is torrent for the 24b-96khz for those who need it:

This is the torrent for the 16b-44khz file (torrent uploaded by Mark at dime) :

The pcm file sounds absolutely fantastic ! Thank you, sir !!!

I agree with the lot of you guys who think that the Queen live machine in the 70's was Queen in its purest form. They were just brilliant musically. And this recording certainly proves (again) they were a fantastic rock band on stage. Listening to 'Rainbow' again, I think they f...ing delivered on every song ! The (hopefully !) forthcoming official realease of these concerts could set Queen even higher on the 'respect ladder' (they must have climbed quite high on the 'success ladder' yet, right ?).

Visually, the trendy hermaphrodite-like costumes were really part of the show and I think it also defined some elements of the Queen identity. Furthermore, they already pushed the visual effects to the limits on stage (over the top amounts of smoke, lightings that were more simple than the ones they used later, but still very efficient and thoughtful (The beginning of NIH for instance. Great idea)). I think that the Queen style was already essential to the music scene. And we all now know the beast evolved quite a bit eventually. But that's another story.

Thank you very much indeed!!

Anyone else notice that there are an extra 40 seconds of audience cheering at the end?

Regardless of the digital lineage - this is a substantial difference !

This is absolutely awesome! Thank you man! :)

Will the complete show see the light of day soon? Hope it will...

many thanks for this great share

Thank you very much for bringing this up and that you never gave up finding pearls like this.

kind regards,

Thanks for sharing. This sounds better than any previous version I've heard, but still seems to suffer from over EQing and maybe compression with the harsh treble. Both are very digital-era symptoms, to me. Unfortunately an official release won't necessarily sound any better in this respect.

Unless they have the original multi-tracks to work with..

Holy mother Mary of...

I should come here more often.

Thanks for sharing, Sikke! :)
