On Bowl was still an awesome release because of Back Chat and Action This Day.

Would love to hear those songs in the old mix. Keep on dreaming, I guess.

At least this exists, then !

I still chuckle at Roger rolling his R on "rat race."

Yes, this version is amazing. Despite Fred being tired of touring and all, they seem to have a ball at playing this song. Roger shines and the rolling R is new to me. Haha, epic.

I love the Tokorozawa version. That whole show, despite Freddie's voice in some spots is really underrated. The fast WWRY from this show is tops too as well as Dragon Attack, Save Me, Fat Bottomed Girls, CLTL, and AOBtD.

Was there actually ever a stereo TV broadcast of Milton Keynes?
I recorded what I think is the most recent 51 minute version shown in the UK in 1992, and it is in mono.
Although nicam was up and running, not everything was broadcast in stereo, otherwise my copy would be.

The tv edit has been shown a few times in the last few years on sky arts in the UK, it's upscaled to 1080p and defiantly stereo.

I'd be very curious to hear it, then. Any chance someone could post even a sample?

Sadly I do not have a copy.

I'm sure I read on another thread the Sky Arts broadcast was in mono, but hey ho. The 78 minute TV broadcast in 1982 at least contained a little extra pre-concert footage.

The pre-concert footage is lovely. SHould have been included in its entirety in the official release... Too bad they didn't.

They didn't hesitate to pull your footage from You Tube, Kurgan!

Youtube is over, big time. It is near impossible to get unseen or rare material on there because of Believe.

Perhaps it's only blocked in the States, no problems here in the UK.

Does anyone know which song didn't have the snare (or was it the kick) that was missing on the multitrack? Guess they added samples to this song - whichever it was.

First I've heard of it.

But as far as I can recall, it's the same awful drum sound throughout the show - the triggering on the snare that sounds nothing like Roger's snare at the time (or ever).

It should be Queen's best 80s live album, but this puts it into second or third place.

^^ It also annoys me how they took down the keyboards so that they're mostly inaudible.
