If no-one buys those concerts, MAYBE QP will have to at least consider releasing all the soundboard recordings. There are so many concerts we haven't yet heard in their archives!

I think that's pretty much already happening, based on comments.. but it can't hurt to discourage people from wasting their time and money I suppose. I'm in! Or out, depending on how you look at it. :)
I'm in. Enough of the same audience recordings that can be obtained elsewhere for free. That isn't even the best source of Osaka 85. And surely there must be a lower gen NJ 82 out there.
Bring on the unreleased soundboards.

I don't think there is a need for a boycott - anyone who sensible won't go anywhere near them.
Lets change the name of this site to ANTI-QUEENZONE!!
Its a matter of choice and I won't be buying them all but boycott that really is pathetic! They will only release live gigs on cd that they feel are worthy such as Milton Keynes/Wembley if you bothered to read justins Q&A about On Fire at the bowl you will know they actually DON'T own soundboard recordings to all there gigs!
I really am getting disillousioned by some of the so called Queen fans posting here! Why do some people think they are so fucking clever!!

It would seem to me that people interested in bootlegs would aready have gotten them in the 15+ years since Queen last toured. The general public probably isn't inerested in crappy sounding audience recordings either. So, it seems like a product without a market.
There seems to be a de facto boycott going on already.
What we can watch for is how long the project goes on, ie will they actually release 100 boots or will it quietly go away in a few months.

You are free to leave.
No Lester I think I will stay just to Piss You Off!! ha ha ha
Trouble is you see I think you will get in a tiz about all this and it will play on your mind where as thankfully I have a life!!

I don't see why they're doing this. It's not like they have to remaster and mix the soundboard recordings before releasing them online. I think most fans would be delighted to pay 6 pounds sterling for a rough sounding soundboard recording of vintage queen shows.
No need to boycott if no-one wants to buy them! :)

I'm not boycotting per say; I just don't have the money! Anyway, I think the idea's great in theory, but just wasn't released in the right way, which will most likely result in not so amazing sales.
According to the 7 digital chart the bootlegs are doing OK.
the thing is, i think there are going to be quite a lot of people who don't realise how bad quality some bootlegs are. This will result in complaints, + eventual decline in their popularity.

Yes, except the one that they screwed up the link for.
But will it continue after everyone hears what they sound like?
I'm certainly not going to buy them. On ebay, I've seen some of the same bootlegs on DVD for around the same price. I don't have a DVD burner on my computer so downloaded concerts are of no use to me.
