Last sample:
It´s nice they used the first gig version of Save Me in the background :-D
There are footage from first night, i have only little bits but i hope i could found more.

Another One bites the dust:
Rare Live VS My Tapes
It´s nice to see Brian and John so happy there :-D
Sorry Mr. ChiefMouse for invade your post, and thanks for the patience.

Thanks for your screenshots & samples, Merqry. Although are we sure it's any better? The screenshots suggest really heavy amount of noise (youtube compression reduces it) which would require heavy amounts of denoise which is not that good, apart from that it has some stronger outlines (also compared to Rare Live which was probably taken from master) although it has some more detail, but that would be partly gone when applied denoise and colours are a lot paler and it's overall darker, not to mention the "Freddie Mercury" onscreen logo which takes quite a lot of space. If we, say, remove the logo with other versions and enhance it the best we can, I still don't think it it would be worth the time (at least for me), those who are willing to do it, feel free. Here's a comparison I just put together (comparing Merqry vs my upload) -

I´m agree with Chief but that sample of Crazy from my source hasn´t the correct colors. It was an accident with a filter, and i was too lazy to correct it. So video is not soooo pale. You´re right with the rest, although.
"Correct" CLTCL one:
But the unseen (at least to me) crowd footage at the end with a videofeed sourced (!) version of Save Me from first gig in the background make this footage something special at least to me. Oh, and it´s just me or the audio it´s a tad better?

So these tapes are all in mono?

Interesting copy. YouTube compressed it, but for sure there are more details.

OK, I know I am "different" than most of the people here , but you know what made me excited the most? The video on top of this page, where you can see just the fans in front of an emtpy stage :-)
Most of the copies edit this stuff out (I am STILL searching for more of the Hyde Park "pre-concert" footage), but I am obsessed with getting recordings "as complete as possible".
Would you consider sharing at least these parts? Of course "at least" doesn't mean "only" :-)

Why an earth can't we find a good complete version of this concert after all these years that doesn't have logos slapped all over it?
This still seems to be the best version around.

Yeah, the audio is definitely better. Clearer than any other tape ever surfaced.
The quality of the video may not be the best, but we haven't still compared the angles, the length or we haven't seen the "extras" those tapes has.

Best as far as logo, not the best as far as quality :) Only good compromise would be to use the top right corner from this version and edit it into a better source. Perhaps I would have done it had the full thing leaked.

I just hope at least a complete audio rip comes out of all this

I think it would be mono though.

Does it really matter, if it sounds that much better than any other copy we currently have? :P
Sue Dounim · Member since
mono or stereo it still sounds better than the "best" audio that's missing Get Down, Make Love. It's mono on Rare Live so I don't think we can expect stereo until someone comes through with a copy of the actual soundboard.

Chief Mouse: Ideally noise reduction doesn't reduce details significantly. Have you tried Neat Video?
