found possibly the best quality stream here provided by AOL!!
http://www.aol.com/rockinrio/
hopefully someone will b able to capture the stream!! sadly I've had a go and because I'm running on a macbook you cant capture the audio or video without paying for a software license, so sadly that rules me out the running
i was however gonna share it on here as soon as i had it sorted but of course now this is no longer possible!
So if any1 could capture the stream it would be fantastic!! i plan to watch but would be nice to also get the sound form the video at a later date!
Cheers

It was working but now it isn't. Just open the Rock In Rio USA page.

Rock In Rio USA page worked in the UK.
Obviously not "Live" as the stream glitched midway through the guitar solo and repeated over a minutes worth of footage.
No other glitches though apart from about 3x millisecond audio drop-outs.
Amazing picture. Just think, 17 years ago I was desperately trying to watch and record (by pointing a video camera at the screen!), Roger's Cyberbarn gig with a 56kb modem and the connection kept dropping out....
Haha. You young 'uns don't know you're born (to coin a phrase!) ;-)

RIO was a great show to see. Wow. Great audience, great sound and visuals. But...Same fuck**** setlist as I had predicted and I had different expectations with the song "love of my life" showing footage of Freddie at Wembley 86???!!!!
They just don't get it huh.... Wembley at rock in rio. Amateurs!

I suspect they are limited as to what clean footage of Freddie they actually have. Of course, footage of Freddie from Rio in 85 would have been ideal really.

The band was great, but the audience disappointed me. We in São Paulo, 10.000 guys, made much more noise and sang every single music. Even Stone Cold Crazy was loudly sang.
The Rock In Rio audience was a much more generic audience. They knew the top of the Greatest Hits only. You can see that NO ONE is singing Fat Bottomed Girls, for example. At São Paulo the arena almost exploded! Hahahaha

On the livestream and TV broadcast, they used the soundboard audio and mixed in some audience noise. Apparently the audience was really, really loud but we did not get to hear that.
Look at RGG -- you can see people clapping but you can barely hear it.

Hard to judge what is going on by seeing a few of the people in the audience. But people who were there say that the audience sang along with every song.

Sorry, but I disagree. My friend was there and he was just one of the "I only know Bohemian Rhapsody from Queen. The other bands were way better, Queen sucks". Two guys that I know also said that it wasn't nice because no one was interested on the music.
That said, I agree that it was a soundboard mix, etcetera. But I also can see things with my eyes. People were clapping on Radio Ga Ga? Nice, one of the Greatest Hits (literally). When the show started, you can SEE when the cameras film the audience and most of them are doing nothing. They're just frozen! So the camera occasionally filmed the people faces, etc. 90 percent were watching the show through the phone, the other 10 percent were looking to stage without singing a thing! Because they DIDNT KNEW the songs! I have no reason to lie, and you can see it watching the show again. Or I can print if you prefer.
The point is that today's music in Brazil, looking at the big picture, sucks. And most of the guys that were there last night weren't Queen fans, or even Queen ocasional listeners. That's a fact. And sucks.

The concert was a nightmare...horrible.
I think the public took some peyote before the concert or something.

EDIT: I posted a HUGE text here and it's gone because of some Queenzone bug! :(
I won't be bothered to type the whole thing all over again - but thake it from someone who's a great Queen fan and who went there expecting history to be made: it was REALLY intense. The audio mix did make the audience a lot less loud. One of the mics for audience noise was right next to where I was, and trust me, if they didn't balance the volume, everytime Adam went on the B stage you wouldn't hear any music, but instead only lots of intense, beatle-mania alike hysterical screaming.
People did sing every song line by line. It probably sounded louder in Sao Paulo simply because it was a smaller, closed venue. I watched QPR in Rio in 2008, it was a closed arena. I also watched Metallica at Rock in Rio in 2011 and Black Sabbath in Sao Paulo in 2013, open air concerts. I guess I don't even have to explain how much wilder Metallica and Black Sabbath audiences were, yet QPR's was more audible as their voices echoed throughout the house, while Metallica's and Black Sabbath's dispersed (and couldn't compete with the MASSIVE audio rig).
And yes, there were many fans of the other bands and casual Queen fans. But not as in "there were few actual Queen fans", but rather that we (Queen fans, older people etc) had never heard of the other acts and didn't expect them to even have fans in Brazil, yet there were enough to make themselves heard by the bands. But there were probably as many guys dressed as Freddie Mercury as there were New Republic fans :P Hahaha
If you don't wanna take my word for it, then just check Queen's fan page on Facebook and take their page admin's word. Apparently (s)he is touring with the band through South America and was stunned by the audience at Rock in Rio. Or simply check Brian and Adam's reactions to the interactions with the audience.
I'm not saying Rock in Rio audience was "better" than Sao Paulo - I actually doubt it was. But it was nowhere near the piece of junk you're trying to paint. It was probably almost as good as Sao Paulo, but "feels" epic because it was huge.
