[b]The mixes[/b]

1) [b]The TV mix[/b] - basically the sound captured by the TV cameras, correct? It's mono, and of course it's edited - the TV broadcast started with an introduction by Bob Harris and ended right after Queen's rock and roll medley.[/QUOTE]

It's not the sound captured by the TV cameras. A mono feed was taken from the Front-Of-House live mix. This practice is still used nowadays by Queen. I've seen the media teams plugging into the patch bay in the Q+PR and Q+AL tours.

[QUOTE]2) [b]BBC Radio 1 mix[/b] - the original radio mix. Stereo, with great backing vocals, but with weak drums.[/QUOTE]

This is not the 'original' radio mix, but a quick mix from the multitrack master made at the time, and usually taken from either BBC transcription LPs or CDs.

[QUOTE]3) [b]The Swedish mix[/b] - my personal favourite with great sounding drums, but weak backing vocals. But again it's not complete.[/QUOTE]

The source of this '2005' mix is a mistery to me. I used to believe it was 2) remastered, but now I'm inclined to think it is a full remix from the multitrack masters.

4) [b]The 2009 mix[/b]. Intended for the unreleased '35th Anniversary' edition of Live At The Hammersmith Odeon DVD. This is a new remix from the multitrack masters. I have to compare it with the 'swedish' mix.

I have intentionally ignored the 2009 mix :-) But thanks for the info! Any idea what was broadcast on the radio live in 1975?

Share it here! Maybe that will be the best mix of sources.
Don't forget my collection of demos and outtakes: http://goo.gl/uQARhn PM me if you want any [leaked] multitrack. Ya se ven los tigres en la lluvia.

If it hasn't been shared I will up it but I have a feeling it's nothing new.
