The book is QUEEN IN CORNWALL by Rupert White (Antenna Publications ISBN 978-1-4477-7647-5), and a superb read it is too. 
If you like these pre-Queen early days, then you will love this. Focussing mainly on Roger Taylor's connection with Cornwall, the book follows his story from a small boy, his early musical career, the definitive history with The Reaction, moving to London, returning to Cornwall with Smile and the early days of Queen.

Yeppsie ... every queen gig from the 70's until 2017 was recorded ... and Knebworth was recorded in 5.1 surround sound.

Fact.  Deal with it. No corraboration necessary ...

ok

You don't get to call people illiterate if you can't even spell "illiterate".

Recorded in 5.1 surround sound... do you actually know what this means?! I think not!!

I don't have anything to prove, the evidence it's inside that book. Buy it and read it. Oh, and that fact is supported by Queen Productions Ltd.

 Denying this information is like denying the Red Special is red.

Yesterday, I finally got around to reading Queen In Cornwall and it basically corroborates what is stated about John Harris in Queen The Early Days; that he recorded many, if not the majority of their shows. There is some additional information, from Jim Jenkins:

Speaking about the Tregye Country Club Festival gig, Aug 21 1971:

Was Queen's set recorded too? (As the headliner, Graphite had recorded their set and later released it as a CD):
"Yes, but not by Gerry. (guy who recorded the headliner). John Deacon has recordings of the Tregye gig. John has loads of them! John Harris, the soundman, recorded them all, including the first ever Queen gig in Truro."

He goes on....

"Harris loved Queen. He absolutely loved them. And he knew they were going to be big. He would take a lead from the mixing desk to make the recordings."

So there it is, from an Official Queen biographer, that these shows exist, if not in Queen's vault, then in John Deacon's home! They have to have these recordings and it's absolutely heartbreaking that the band don't see fit to release them in any way.

These are the true holy grail treasures of Queen..the stuff that some of us have dreams about...vivid, lucid dreams where we're in a bootleg shop somewhere and find a vinyl or CD with this stuff...but we always wake up before we can find somewhere to play it...

Well, at least I know I have.
