Got the green light from The Real Wizard to upload this, so I hope everyone likes it.
It's not perfect, but I did my best to combine all the various professional sources with Wardour's "Space Boogie" and the first audience tape to make the complete show. My process was basically crossfading galore. I did some light hiss reduction on the LD and audience sources, and used clip restoration and lowered the pro stuff by -4db. Some EQ was applied to bring out the bass on the LD source and to bring out the high end on Space Boogie. I used the old audience source to fill a brief cut after Love of My Life.
If this isn't as good as I think it is feel free to delete this post or let me know what I can fix. Also, if it wasn't obvious, please support the (obscure) official release!
Enjoy, Sue

I'm guessing that if you all share from mega then it's a valid and safe site?

So far so good. If it is a big file, it is better to use Google Chrome to download.

harrypotter6116, please let me know what you think of this after you've listened. It's the first project I've ever done that I felt comfortable with putting out, so I'd really like to get feedback from anyone who gets this.

If a wizard told you to do this, harrypotter checks the result, while the dragon attacks, it must be (a kind of) magic.

Thanks for this share and for your work.
This is really fantastic and Freddie´s voice sounds better than i remember. There´s a "sweet spot" for his throat on this one, and that is the middle register like the last "yeah" from "Love of my Life". But he really did a great show, specially "Save me" sounds very powerful.
By the time he gets to "Teo Torreate" he can´t move out of that sweet spot because his throat doesn´t allow him to, so he had to use more emotion, and he was a master at that.
I really love the smooth transition to the audience recording after "Love of my Life" and "Teo Torriate". It´s very smooth and it´s like changing perspective inside your head from the stage to the audience. It´s very well donne, specially after the LOML right when Freddie asks - You like it? - and the audience member says "I like it! Yeah!" For me, these audience recordings are very special because we get to be amongst these fans. It´s like being there with friends, and sometimes when they´re happy or drunk i really get a kick out of it :-)
I´m rediscovering this concert again, and for that i thank you. To have everything together in the same place will change my perspective on this one. For some reason when Freddie hits Japan his voice gives him problems. Maybe it was the weather or something that made him feel anxious about it.
Oh, and Brian solo on Bo Rhap :-) , maybe he was competing with STL in Brazil the year before :-)
I love the duet between Roger and Freddie on "Action this day".
By the way, what happens in the first few notes of the fast section of Bo Rhap? - Is it tape speed or the band is out of tune? Specially Brian´s guitar seems to be so out of tune. Sometimes, the weather doesn´t help :-)
Thanks again

That guy pretending to be Freddie in a Japanese accent is the single best part about that audience tape. Just hilarious.

Love how Roger rolls his R on "rat race."

I didn't notice anything wrong. I just hear the audience more than anything. The tape speed seems to be alright, and on the other recordings of the show the band sound fine too.
