ANNOUNCE: Queen + Adam Lambert - 2014/06/24 - Edmonton, AB, Canada

Now I had a chance to listen to the whole concert and I want to say again: Thank you very much!

I really enjoyed this!

I was not to happy about Adam Lambert, but after IHeart, Chicago and Edmonton this has changed. No I am hoping for some dates in Germany.

And I really love the bass solo!

SUPER! Thanks a lot!

Thank you for this upload, Inu.

I hope i will get to see Brian play "Killer Queen" live . I know i will cry if that happens - like a little baby :-)

[/QUOTE]

I heard it at soundcheck the other night, and I nearly died. It was just beyond perfect. That sound ... it's still there.[/QUOTE]

Lucky man!
Many people just don´t understand what those little things mean to us, or people who apreciate the guitar world. To see this man at 67 y.o. still playing the Killer Queen solo with those pitch perfect bendings and vibrato brings a tear to my eye.

Not to mantion that i really got scared at the last years Brian´s health scare scenario. I´m going to enjoy it and support them to the max.

Thanks for the share inu.

I'm debating the outcome of recording. Did you utilize any built in noise gate/low freq shelf?
[/QUOTE]

Nope :) Just used low gain, the limiter and bass cut were set to off.

ahh what a diamond you are my friend.. now this is incredible recording!! Quick question, did you use the inbuilt mics to record this? or external, seriously considering purchasing one of these things, the sound quality is outstanding, no hiss or distortion to the sound whatsoever :) again amazing job, cannot wait for Calgary now you've said that! :D
[/QUOTE]

Cheers Oliver. No, actually external mics were used. If you look at the lineage, the info is there. I used Sound Professionals mics (the SP-BMC-3 model) enclosed in a croakie set that I use on my glasses, and then connected to the Microphone Madness battery booster module which then connects into the Roland R-05's line-in port. Which all explains the clean sound :) Plus Roland's handheld recorders (of which I have an R-09 and an R-05) have exceptionally good electronic components, whether you're doing internal or external recordings. My Queen Extravaganza recording from Edmonton was done on the R-09 using its internal mics, and that still turned out pretty good :)

Many, many thanks for this great share ! :) Brian's voice sounds so weak on LOML and 39'. Not sure though if it's age or his mic problem.

Listened to the show. Boy, Im so glad I went to 7 Q+PR shows back in the day.

This is just terrible. '39 sounds so fucking bad, Brian is fucking up many guitar parts on the other songs including the solo. What a joke. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Not to worry, Calgary totally made up for that, as you will get to hear in a few days after I return home :)
I think Brian was just exhausted from having done a show in Saskatoon the night before and having to travel right away after the show. What a difference having a day off makes!

by the way, I love the audience comments you can hear on this............during the intro: "I can't see!".........

and later there was something like "Enjoy it, they might not come back!"

:D

Thanks for the share, Inu :-)
Sound quality is really great. Got a few questions.

1) What sensitivity SP-BMC-3 did you choose? I went to their site and they offer a few - High, Ultra High and Standart.

2) SP-EMC-3 Croakie Eyeglass Retainer - what is this for? What does it do exactly? Sorry if it's a dumb question :P
Edit: nevermind, just saw "enclosed in a croakie set that I use on my glasses"

3) What battery power supply to choose? Is SP-SPSB-10 from their site any good? What are the differences in general from cheaper to more expensive ones?

4) And lastly, what exactly does the recorder change, I mean in quality and stuff. What would you recommend for a budget price? I've got a crappy Sony ICD-UX533, I guess that's no good for recordings like this?

'Cos in case the old guys decide to come to Europe (they haven't been in my country since 2008, well, Brian was here with Kerry Ellis recently) I would be more than willing to go and record it for you guys. Gotta start saving up for some budget gear :P

thank you for sharing this concert!

Looking forward to your Calgary recording! Thanks so much for recording and sharing :-) ;-)

Using a microphone input will only leave it very distorted and noisy, never mind the aforementioned mono factor. -- [QUOTE] 'Cos in case the old guys decide to come to Europe (they haven't been in my country since 2008, well, Brian was here with Kerry Ellis recently) I would be more than willing to go and record it for you guys.

And think of it as an all purpose investment, don't just limit yourself to Queen(-related) gigs ;) If you play in a band or your friends play in bands, that's one good use of a recorder right there for obvious reasons :)

By the way, how did you sneak in with this stuff?
