Dry soundboard recordings? Surely QP have enough money to access high quality professional convolution reverbs or even record their own? Theoretically, they could record a real reverb for any venues that still exist and apply them with taste to recordings.
Not that they have to, we'd be delighted to dish money for unheard soundboards. Personally I'd prefer products with less tinkering.

I'm sure they could remix those soundboard to have an acceptable mix for the general public. Even if in the end it sounds a bit dry.
Live Killers sounds a bit dry a well, but i don't have a problem with that, is good to hear the instruments and the voices clearly over an screaming crowd.

^ this kind of dry. Compare it to The Song Remains The Same album.
There is no fixing it. It's a mono feed with no reverb, no compression, no ambiance, no anything. Adding it post still won't fix it.
This is what the majority of the Queen soundboard tapes probably sound like.
And I'm fine with that. It's raw and it's real.

Reviving this old topic...
Sleeping on the sidewalk (from the NOTW box set) has answered our question about the sound quality of those old soundboards!
Even though it's mono, the sound is absolutely fantastic...
To think they have shows like Boston 12-11-77 and 22-12-77 in this quality makes one really wonder why they do not release them!
If they want to give somthing interesting to the fans without having to dig deep into the studio archives they could easily choose this option.
Having such a show every 3 months must be possible...
Actually, I absolutely wouldn't mind them including even more 1986 stuff like the Leiden shows...

No it doesn't.
All the others might be an absolute pile of shit.........

No it doesn't.
Not having the multis means that May can't (fuck the whole thing up) overdub them.
