1979 Budokan Frenzy v2

Thanks.

Thanks for your work and the share

Quality is Good, concert is great.

Thank you Aristide1 for this nice share!

Thanks !

GREAT! Thank you

Thanks for this. As Bob says, if you have a moment could you post a breakdown of what you did to improve this?

Thanks again

I'm glad you like it.
The basic idea was to match the obviously unbalanced spectrum of the source with a reference one, using HarBal. Took Live Killers as reference, but any pro recording long enough is suitable for Queen spectral signature. Live Magic has an almost identical average spectrum because the instruments and the song structure are the same over the years, despite different setlist and mastering.
The best effect of this heavy eq is a new dynamic range, increased from DR4 to DR9.

Interesting. Nice to see Live Magic being used as a quality benchmark for a Queen live album. The content is one thing, but sonically it's my favourite Queen live album.

If you'd like to do any others, 4-30-75 and 4-13-79 are at the top of my list - both are excellent shows.
