Thank you. was at this gig ( and the next night where Mull of Kintyre was played) I believe Jim Jenkins has a copy of both nights night "somewhere" in his collection. I know the second night was recorded by someone because the guy behind me on the bus home was playing his cassette copy. . Probably Mono and almost definitely hissy.
At the time the local bootleggers Scouse Pie Tapes were very active but as far as I know it never made it out on their label.

Great news! Could you share some more memories from the 2nd night? It's always fascinating to read fans memories from Queen concerts!
And Thank you Pittrek for remastered version!!!

I used to trade with fella called Joe many moons ago. He used to give me a couple of cassettes to copy in exchange for some of the studio demos I had at the time (stuff you can easily find for free these days), or 2 cassette shows for every one on CD I gave him. I got rid of many several years ago because the quality was crap and I had started finding stuff freely here, and some were lost in a house move. I wish I had held on to them, and my old lists, because I am certain there was a Liverpool '79 cassette - slightly better than this one (albeit still not great quality). I'm also sure it didn't stop at Bo Rhap! I've missed the deleted thread so not sure what has been discussed concerning this show....it definitely is out there in better quality and with more tracks, yes? Or is memory letting me down?
The problem with me is that I didn't always appreciate what I had and didn't realise how important some shows were (or how important it was to document them), regardless of quality. I'm guessing if I had one in better shape, there's even better out there.

Scouse Pie were among the first to trade oxford openly it was almost a mythical bootleg at the time - (70-80) as was Night at the Warehouse.
as far as the 2nd night was concerned. It was basically the same set list as night 1. Mull of Kintyre was thrown in just before LOML as I remember.
basically Brian just strummed the riff a few times and the crowd sang along. I don't recall Freddie singing any of it.
Might be a trick of the mind but I have a vague recollection of a few bars of If you can't beat em being thrown in though the whole song definitely wasn't played.
I know I had some colour photos of the gig which my mate managed to take in between dodging the bouncers. Freddie in red pvc trousers with kneepads, a couple of close ups of brian.
wonder if he still has them . Will do some checking.

Wow, this sounds much better then the original share. Thank you very much Pittrek four your time and work.
With all these speeches cut out how do we know it's Liverpool actually?
Kind regards,

A good question, perhaps pittrek can go into more detail about the small collective detective work he mentions in the opening post?

Having listened through this, it sounds like it's been recorded by a phone whilst the master (or low gen copy) played through speakers. It also sounds like speech has been deliberately cut. The only thing is...who and why? I'm confident there's a better version out there, and I'm not convinced the taper would only tape up to Bo Rhap.
That said, thanks to all who have worked on this version :)

It's entirely possible. Plenty of tapers only brought 60 or 90 minute tapes to shows. Blank tapes were very expensive back then - usually about 3x the cost of your ticket.

There's not really much to tell here. Several people I trust claim it's Liverpool, so I wrote that it's probably Liverpool.

I think the speeches are cut deliberately and I think that the speed was sped up deliberately too. Why? It could be just for the possibility of fitting the whole recording on 1 CD. Because usually I do a track by track speed correction, in this case I have slowed it down by 4% and the speed seems to be constantly correct.
