Sure enough they've got a shitload of soundboard concerts recorded in stereo onto bug standard quarter inch "reel to reel" tape from the PA feed, but previously to "them", they haven't been able to tinker with the sound too much, and that explains why they've so far left the concept alone.
He could be referring to a LOT of shows where they just have stereo soundboard recordings, and there ARE a lot.
But I really don't think we'll see many, if any, of those ever getting released, outside of some sort of archive live release set, and then probably only for the curiosity value of songs they only played a handful of times.
Discuss !
... bearing in mind that the Grateful Dead just released a box set with 50 untampered with concerts from their classic era.
I have always suspected there are a lot of interesting things in their archives, mainly soundboard recordings, but will they ever see the light of day? It sounds almost impossible when you're speaking of Queen, but they could at least release some of them.
Well, we had waited for a proper release of Rainbow since 1974 and we finally got it last year. Maybe those soundboards will be coming one by one sometime in the future.
There are two criteria that matter for me:
- quality of recording
- quality of performance
Wembley second night 1986 is multi-track recorded but this doesn't change the fact it's overall an averagd performance... I can imagine they have less good recordings of way better performances... They should also take that into account... Some people want to hear Queen at their best and we can hear through a recording that might have some minof issues!
Discuss? Ok.. according to a thread on that other website there are shitloads of soundboard recordings. The thread is from more than 10 years ago and we are still none the wiser... speculate away you lovely misguided souls who should know better by now....... I will pull up my chair...

Carry on about all the soundboard recordings we are never going to get..... come on Queen fans.. I have pulled up my chair, lit a fire and am pulling out a marshmallow, ready to hear all the brilliant insight from you all.... speculate away...
I also doubt they will release a soundboard show in the near future. Even if they are releasing a new show every year (which is a very good rate, imo) they still have at least one filmed/multitracked show from every tour till The Works Tour.

Game tour? Montreal wasn't really a part of it, right?
If they don't think they're releasable in the sense of what people have come to expect of live-albums, why not make (some of) them available as either lossless paid downloads or in some kind of economy-package marketed at die-hard fans? It'd take precious little effort on QP's part, in effect merely having to digitize the tapes and doing a minimum of post-processing the level out the sound and EQ.
