Live Aid Offical Audio Release

Saw this on iTunes.. of course. It looks to be only a digital release from what I see. It identical to the dvd audio so it pretty much sounds like crap! I hope this isn’t the same audio that will be used for the movie soundtrack..

i would hope not too

Yep I've seen that yesterday on Spotify. Freddie's interaction with the crowd is missing and all songs have fade out on them.

Does Hammer To Fall fade out? You know.. the RT screw up?

That's how samples work.

Does it have the bit where John mistakenly starts singing "find me somebody to loooove" during Brian's Radio Ga Ga solo?

Actually I've always seen that as a Freddie screw up, he seems to finish early when they'd normally do a little more there

They probably rehearsed it that way (to keep the set shorter) and Rog forgot. :D

Maybe yep, hard to tell

never liked Live Aid, recorded like crap, sounds awful
It is at the level of a bootleg, all the releases without exception

Freddie COMMANDS them to do one more time.

See next Link for complete story about the LIVE AID footage and multitrack tapes.

Thanks Queenman. It would be good to know if the Queen performance is one of those that Radio 1 recorded in multitrack format.....I’d guess so as part of the UK broadcast, but the audio on the dvd releases doesn’t sound as if it has been remixed and improved; if it were I’d expect it to sound a lot better than we have.

Well, the Queen tracks have disappeared from Spotify at some point during the last week. They still appear to be available to download, at least on 7Digital.

Also take off Apple Music streams
