Sue's The Works Tour Remasters Project (BERLIN UPLOADED)

I'm on a HUGE Works Tour kick and I've kinda given myself a bit of a workload so I'm making a thread to encompass all this so I'm not just blowing up the Announce forum. Ive been cherrypicking different shows from this entire tour that have caught my interest and cleaning them up to my tastes. This was kinda done selfishly for my own listening but on the chance anyone else might like what Ive done I'm sharing them here.

Here is the first show of the tour, the fantastic first night in Brussels.

TWO SOURCE REMASTER

What I've done:
speed correction
EQ
channel balancing
combined the sources to complete the show

The main tape used here sounded good but very cavernous. I have EQ'd it to better define the music coming through.

AUD -> Sanyo TRC-2300 -> [(2) BASF CR-II C90] Master Cassettes

Transfer:
Nakamichi CR-7E -> Grace Lunatec V3 -> HD

AUD > ? > CDR (x)

Thanks, this will be a fantastic thread! :)

Yay!

Nice to see fans with a passion for the band creating and compiling great sets. I am working on sorts of anthology sets and keeps correcting it to make it bigger and better.

Thanks for the encouraging words so far! I've actually already got 1984/08/31, 1984/10/19, and 1985/05/15 done but I wanna post these in chronological order. Also I'll be posting all three Birmingham shows together. Those three will come in two versions, full remastered and speed corrected only.

Great job many thanks for sharing :o)

Can I suggest a few speed corrections and merges  for a few concerts? :)

Could you maybe create a merge of the 2 Paris 1979 shows (28/2 & 1/3), using the audience source, pro shot and any other source (check Bob's web site here for all current audio stuff! [url=queenlive.ca/queen/paris]queenlive.ca/queen/paris[/url] 

Many thanks!

Thank you! This brings back many good memories. I was working in England at the time and excitedly booked tickets to three shows in London. I remember the excitement of the opening and the glimpses of many older songs. Being a Hot Space fan I went ballistic when Deaky moved on to the guitar for Staying Power and equally crazy when Stone Cold Crazy and Great King Rat made an appearance. I also remember how amazing it was to be part of and to watch the whole stadium synchronise moves and claps to Radio Ga Ga. I just wish Roger had left his electric drums at home for Felix to play with.

I know I said I was gonna post these in chronological order but Im making an exception for this one because its such a great show and I'm [i]very [/i]happy with the results for this one. EQ was important for this one because Ive always felt this tape was very shrill and Ive sought to make it more pleasant to the ears. I think what Ive done opens the recording up more and lets it breathe.

THREE SOURCE REMASTER

What I've done:
Speed correction
EQ
balanced the channels
Mixing sources to complete the show

NOTES: I used Nordico's remaster of the master copy as a jumping point for this since what he did saved me a lot of extra effort. I used the video source's sound to smooth out the unnecessary fade between LOML and Stone Cold Crazy, as well as the cut after Bo Rhap.

LINEAGE (Main source):
Aiwa CM30 > Aiwa HS-F1 > Compact Cassettes (2 x TDK SA C90)

Cassette master > Aiwa HS-F1 > Zoom H2 > SD-Card Reader > harddisc > Soundforge 9.0d (track splitting, fades) > TLH (flac level 8, sb aligned)

LINEAGE (Video source):
Master > (Unknown gen) > ??? > DVD > DVD Audio Extractor > WAV

Well, I was actually working on something like this for the 2/28 show. I have the full audience tape that has the cuts patched that was shared here and I have the flac version of antiden's Paris '79 video saved which to me has the best sounding audio. If I get around to finishing it I only wanna use complete songs to merge into the audience tape because listening to something in really good quality then having it shift to sounding worse after only a few seconds/a minute bugs me to no end.

Loving the remasters here. Thank you!

And finally, here's all three nights in Birmingham remastered by me. If you want info on these just download the text files in the folder:
