sharing is good and doing things for profit is not allways a good idea

100% agree.

Great share, thank you! I didn't think we would ever see the second part. I'm glad you proved me wrong!

Cheers mate! This is how it should be done!

When I'm done with a couple of projects involving sharing new stuff here at Queenzone, I'll create a new share including both parts, cut onto tracks and a little edit if necessary.

Thank you very much for sharing the second part.... BTW Greg, we have a candidate for top 5 or even the best live version of BoRhap from 1984. He really went for it, and that studio phrasing.... I love it ! I've heard that there are some clicks on the speed corrected version and also a few places where tape seems to "stop", can it be repaired ?

This wild-card Sun City thing has blown my brain to smithereens! Currently listening through this:

Another One Bites The Dust was fantastic - definitely one of the best on the tour, Hammer To Fall is fucking ridiculous (THAT BRIDGE!!!!!!!!!!)!

To some extent, but basically - no.

It needs a new tape transfer, and it seems it's going to happen at some point soon, thankfully.

This Sun City is a pure gem ! Why the heck won't they officially release it... they were in brilliant form and gave it all that night... I know that this is "another 80's show" but instead of releasing wembley for the nth time it would be awesome to release that recording. On the other hand Greg has already confirmed sth as tremendous as the Rainbow release so we will get another 70's gig which is a nice thought and I wonder if they'll announce it before or after holidays.

I've already heard a couple of skips and stuff, as you said, we better wait for a new transfer and we can wait ;)

I suspect that choosing to release an apartheid-era show from Sun City would be more likely to get them negative publicity all over again. Even after 30 years.

Just Wow, this is such good news. Thanks to Anthony and Wendy and to everyone that helped here.

Here you have more examples of bad publicity:

Queen + Paul Rodgers
Queen + Adam Lambert
Queen Forever
2011 Remasters including just one or two "real" rarities per album

and so...

Or: you coul call it Queen Live in 1984. Don't mention it's from South Africa. But Queen Productions has the original mastertape i pressume?

Thank you, Anthony, Wendy, Pittrek.
