Thanks for reading the entire description, though. Most people glaze over that stuff.

Funny that you say this, I love reading these stories, sometimes even more than listening the tape (when it sounds bad). Keep up the good stuff, thanks!!

The Real Wizard, re:
>How much experience do you have with collecting music? How many people have you run into at record shows and spoken about the old days of analog tape collecting? How many collecting communities outside of Queen have you engaged with?

>If you don't want to believe this stuff (and tales far more crazy than it) can be true, then I guess that's your prerogative. But it's all so common.
If that can be an open question then I'll chime in at 35 years across 4 different bands - one of which takes in the full 35 years (NOT Queen). Never ONCE have I heard about anyone breaking in to someone's house to do anything other than steal car keys or money and jewellery; audience tapes are NOT that important to ANYONE. Unless, of course, the inhabitants of Liverpool's criminal community changed it's focus from the high demand of crack and heroin to souvenirs of blokes on spandex and leather.
Also not come across it in those other hotbeds of crime the USA, Italy, Holland, Germany, France, Wales, Scotland, Mexico, Brasil, Argentina, Australia and Japan where I've traded widely.
Your getting close to Greggy Brooks-style misogyny here old bean.

And Barry, I suppose the perpetrators have to aim to hit that, ever so elusive, life-affirming 21000 post count.
I wonder if "whoever smelt it, dealt it" comes to play here?

So then for future reference, I'll have to run any story by you two guys, no matter how many sources corroborate it, because your limited experience encompasses all possibilities. Thanks for your input.

Limited experience? Don't think so oh tape trading deity that you believe you are.
No one said that you have to run anything by anyone, but, do please try as hard as you can not to make your stories (which remain uncorroborated, despite what you say and in the absence of any other evidence than YOU) fact.
If you'd be ever-so kind.

Hey Bob,
this is a great post of an important show and I think its the first time Ive ever really listened to this show, as the old version was quite mangled and hard on the ears. Anyway this is still a bit boomy but perfectly enjoyable for bootleg ears! The highlight for me was BoRhap and SHA -> JR sounds really wild.
As for the tape stories, its easy in the internet age to ridicule this behaviour but back in the snail mail days when there was real trading going on, such things were very common. Myself, like probably everyone back then, was guilty of holding back some good stuff for "special trades" though I never degraded any tapes on purpose! This was just the way to get the rarer stuff.
Of course some guys were going too far and took these things way too seriously but everyone shouldnt forget that many great tapes were sourced when some freak traders went door to door and asked "....did you tape Led Zeppelin/Queen/Floyd whatever back in '77...?" ;-)
All this stuff just didnt fall from the sky but often there was a lot of leg work, money and a bit of backstabbing involved!

Precisely.
Glad you enjoyed the recording. Indeed, for trained bootleg ears it's definitely worth a listen.

Did anyone ever break into your house and mess with your tapes though?

Hey Bob,
Regarding the spoken part before Liar this is what I can make out.
Fred: "The last, the last couple of nights we've been here there's been this ridiculous trough, black trough or whatever. I don't know what you actually think do we come across that we might maul you or take your clothes off or something. We need to extend the stage c'mon do something, somebody do something. Come on Gerry Stickells. C'mon." (Crowd voice girl "What's this? What? Crowd voice guy " he's gettin' a bit of wood put out so he can walk on) "The lovely Chris Lamb everbody, He's very very practical. Well that's much better. See what you make of this"

Precisely what? Is this supposed to be confirmation of your preposterous tale of breaking and entering? Let a bit of air out of that over inflated head of yours before it explodes.
