Basje, will you ever consider selling a small part of your Queen concert video recordings? Maybe just 15-20 of the 97 concerts you have seen and recorded...

You weren't posting it so we'd know how much to offer.
You were just showing off.
Thanks for clarifying.

I am a "serious collector" too - but I must say I HATE to see the talk of collecting in the form of dollars and cents - to me, collecting is for the fun and enjoyment of it, and some of my favourite things in my collection are the most common (and not so rare) - and the rarer things - they sit in a cupboard and so might as well not be there half the time - but ANY collection is only ever worth what someone else is prepared to pay for it.
It is also unfair to go on about what things are worth as some just dont have the income to support the big collections - but they still love Queen just as passionately - but coz they might not have the money to buy the autographs and things, does not make them less of a lover of Queen and prove their loyalty.
Most of my favourite things are video bootlegs - but really they are worth nothing are they? See - should not be about the money - EVER !! But the love of it.

nope, i am not showing off...
i am merely trying out some actions to get reactions...prejudice is amongst us, like jealousy....thought Queenfans were brighter than that.I visited 97 Queenconcerts, that is correct,but i only recorded 1 show in Holland and Freddies last ever live performance with the Time musical in'88. I have never been a bootlegger, although many , many other fans have been getting copies of recordings i collected for made costs only. I never made a penny profit on Queen so far. On audio and video. Usually they send me a cassette or whatever and i copy what they want. As long as it doesn't cost me a penny, i am perfectly okay with that. But it really pisses me off, when i visit the next Queenday organised were ever, and see the people behind tables, selling huge piles of copies from my rare recordings and making bigtime money with that behind my back, even after having promised me not to make extra copies of my recordings to keep them special and exclusive.
It never worked.
The show i recorded with a two-way-split microphone in Holland 86 is my absolutely favorite bootleg. The Quality of the sound is superb! Very good atmosphere and crowd.
I also filmed the whole Amsterdam-show from the audience(Queensday)as i knew they were coming there, and the planetariumshow-world-premiere- afterparty , and the afterparty show from the Musicalpremiere--->now Thát is a breathtaking show! Further i recorded nothing....took some pictures, bought some souvenirs etc...
and no, i am not going into copying these shows for others anymore, because they will be on the internet making money for people who are not in title to do so. I sent Brian and Roger, Jim Beach and Greg etc copies, and that's it.
I could make good money with all the other recordings i also have in my extensive collection, but the good quality contact i have with Queen and the people around them means more to me than a few euros extra....and they know what i have, and really appreciate me NOT selling that.
I can keep a secret a secret and something exclusive exclusive...sorry.
But, then again, i do occasionally organise a tea-party or so, during which i show the films and play the music to fans...that is allm i will do. People are always welcome to my place and enjoy looking and listening to these items and recordings.
Maybe i will ask Hannie if it is okay to show some of it in Oktober...if Hannie and the management and/or Greg approve of it and if they want it at all, or if there is enough time on this actionpacked day...we'll see.
I have been called and named many bad things in the past by many people, of whom i hardly ever knew anyone personally. But once your out in the open it is so easy to get accusations and bad sories going round, and i am immune for them now.
People have said i am a bigtime bootlegger.
That has never been so. Until a year ago, i did not even know how to operate a computer, or did i have the equipment to do that. And even today, i still can't do that as i haven't got the machines o do it with, and even if i had them, i wouldn't be able to work with them.
If i want a copy of anything, i depend on other peoples skills and talents and time and equipment to get it done, and untill now, that has only happened to make copies for the guys and some people directly around them.
As time goes by, Greg is still working on a daytime base on the so long awaited Queen anthology box set. In that box everything you can possibly think and dream of will be there.
So there is no use in me making lesser quality copies anyway. Patience is a virtue.
And if they wish to use some of my footage of the occasions i did record, they may do so.
i even found a few recordings of which Greg didn't even know of their existance at all.
So some of those will be in that box and come your way in the end somehow i guess...
Many recordings do already circulate amongst the fans, who will probably say when this anthology is released: "oh, how little

Mr. Scully
97 Queen concerts (in Europe it would mean every single gig since 1980 or so)? Well, your Dutch friends say you saw Queen only once, in Leiden 1986 :-)
bas asselbergs
Wrong again. Queen played 309 shows under the name Queen in Europe. 305 with Freddie and 4 after he died. My first was 08-12-1974 in The Hague as supportingact for Mott The Hoople. i was 11 then, now i'm 41. Live Aid was already my 75th concert-visit. So, 97 out of 305 is exactly 33%. That means i have seen them 1 time per 3 shows. That seems a lot, but don't forget that on the other hand i missed twice as many shows! I missed 2 out of 3. And relatively seen it isn't that much anymore then.
You claim to know all my "friends" while you yourself don't even know me at all...we have had contact in the past through the web, but where did you get to know my "friends" in Holland then, and who do you think they are then? name me some names!? As i can't even name one myself. how do you think you know any "friends "from me?
You are claiming to know some of the people in my life around me...very , very strange indeed.
I have always been a loner, a great white solitair swimming alone....so howcome you say this about me? What do i do for a living then? What car do i drive? What does my house look like and where is it? Do i have brothers and sisters? Are my parents still alive? What do you think you know about me? What kind of work and how long did i do that before he work i do now? If your friends are so close to me, then you must be able to find that out within a day?
So please, answer ALL these questions correctly, and then i will believe you know people around me. But you will not be abe to provide the answers, as nobody knows me at all! And thepeople who do know me, are 100% unknown to you and anybody else in the "Queen-world", as they do not take part in it.
I have heard from your friends that you have sex with little children and animals....but i have only heared that....from people who claim to be your friends too...know what i mean? get the point?
So either stick to facts or shut your f..k up!
People who just say things about me, but don't even know me personally really piss me off!
It has nothing to do with treating others correctly. Why would you say such a thing?
Were YOU there at the doors watching if i were there, or any of my or your "friends"?
People don't even remember what i looked like say 18 years ago...in 86 when Queen toured te last time, and in the early and late 70's and early 80's i looked totally different from the way i look now...i have been living alone in studenthouses since i was 15...and been on 5 different schools in 5 years because i was always gone...hitchhiking with truckers to follow Queen through Europe...so what do you know at all from me?
There are people in my life who KNOW that i have been a Queenfan and follower since 1974...and from 1978 was living on my own after my parents devorced. So, no matter what you think to know, you don't know it from myself or any of the people in my life who REALLY know me.
All you get to hear, is hearsay gossip from jealous fans who don't know me at all.
So, for the future, do not continue with spreading untrue stories and made up hearsay about me. Get to know me first. Personally.
because this brings you nothing. Or others.
It only pisses me off.
We are supposed to be sharing the same passion for the best band ever, and what you are doing has nothing to do with that at all.
Go to another forum to throw with mud, dirt and lies about fellow fans.
My reaction to your remarks is so ferocious because i am sick and tired of always being attacked and accused falsely by people i don't know.
To me, it has only to do with jealousy...
and i understand that people who can't understand me or the way i lived and live have different thoughts ....but what is normal for me, can be very extreme for others.
And the other way 'round again too...
live and let live.
we're all God's people at the end of the day.
Keep Queening,
stop gossiping.

not showing off...97 Queen concerts....best sounding bootleg is the one I recorded.....blah blah blah.
Utti
After reading it all I must say (though I am new in this forum) that its always the same in this world. People fight with each other and talk about things with not the slightest idea about it. Can anybody remove Mr. Scully's and Penetration_gurus replies? I thought this is a collector's forum and I am very pleased to read such interesting stories from Bas and other seriously Queen fans. I never would dare to question the value of these items. They are really one of the most rare pieces left on planet earth and if guys out there are not interested in these items so they should stop spreading their opinions about it

This is not a Collector forum.
Both Ron and Martin have collectors forums on their websites, but this Zone forum is more visited, that´s it.
There is no moderator for post removal, so get used to it :)
Coke and fried potatoes for hangman, anyone else ?

Dear Utti, you are probably a role model for people who don't know what they are talking about. You are new, so maybe you just can't know better but if you bother to get some facts and information, you will pretty soon find out who are the collectors here and who are the show offs.
For a start I recommend two websites
http://www.queenconcerts.com
and
http://www.queenpicturehall.com/
You won't find any eggcups with Freddie faces there but maybe you get an idea that it's not an insurance appraiser or the ridiculous alleged value of a golden disc award that makes a collector "serious".
I'll have a hot tea with honey and a valium, Henrique :)

bas asselbergs: " I have always been a loner"
perhaps this explains it all and why he needs a reality check.
AND "Utti" your comment below is outragious especially for a newcomer to this board.
"Can anybody remove Mr. Scully's and Penetration_gurus replies?"
when you first join a internet forum you look around and discover who are the experts before posting anything controversial. Their opinions
are well respected by all at this forum.
You have a long way to go!

I never said that my recording from Leiden IS the best, i said i LIKE IT BEST.
The quality is uncomparable to other bootlegs i have and have heard. That is because of the recording equipment i used to record it with.
I played that in the bus from London to Southport, on the way to the convention in 1992.
Joris Donkel from the swap office , said later to me, that he never ever enjoyed listening to a bootleg as much as he did in the bus listening to my tapes. Now, h's not the first the best, and i really took that as a great compliment coming from him with all his expertise and knowledge from Queenrecordings.
You also said collectively, that UTTI is the best example of somebody who doesn't know what she is talking about.
She wrote that she had read ALL posts first, and then made her remarks. She has a right to.
But what none of you lot know, is that received lifelong free of charge membership of the OIQFC from Mr. Brian May himself personally!
Now, THAT is a very great honour to receive that from Queen, and she is maybe the only who ever got this?
So, she knows about things, is a friend of Brian,
and certainly deserves a hell of a lot more respect and dignity from all you arrogant @#$%*!
Your responses have made her decide to write her opinion, and i can understand her.
So, lets keep this link as it is stated on the frontpage, the openingspage from queenzone.com as: FOR SERIOUS COLLECTORS ONLY
for serious collectors only.
bohemian is wrong about that, it IS a link that is named like this.
so if you are not a serious collector, then please go somewhere else.
