Wembley's not too bad for sound, well it wasn't in 85 alot of this about prices and locations is pure speculation nothing has been decided in the uk except Brixton. The final decision is going to based on ticket sales in Europe.

Rather jolly expensive.
I thought Pavillion was the name of the new thing they have open there. I though Arena closed down recently for refurbishment like Wembley itself.[/QUOTE]
the prices above are stated in the letter from the official fan club, this is what we can expect to pay for the forth comings gigs

Wed 19th of jan is the earliest you can book tickets if you are a member of Queen online, if you're a member of the official FC, then the earliest date is 18th jan, you would have received a letter from them in the last few days

What's wrong with Sheffield? Is that not closer?
I was hoping that Sheffield Hallam meant the Uni cos that's where I work and I was hoping for some sort of perk to get tickets, but sadly no.

To clear up confusion on Wembley Arena Pavillion here is a direct link to the official site. Capacity is 10,000. A seating plan can also be found here.

Except that he collects all kinds of Queen bootlegs that exist...

Well, thats strange as he is against people bootleging his gigs. He might be interested in old Queen Vinyl & CD bootlegs... thats a different thing surely.

The fact that the recording has no definition, has little or no low end and was recorded using the "standard setting" on a minidisc recorder, meaning that the middle frequencies sound overly compressed and the drums/vocals often clip (I say the middle frequencies, as it sounds like it was recorded using low quality mics and having crap frequency responce)

So, you're saying that Brian is "happy" for people to boot Queen shows, but "against" people bootlegging his solo shows? I find it hard to believe that a man as intelligent as Brian would be THAT hypocritical. I would suggest that what you are saying there is complete rubbish.

Fair enough summation of what that bootleg actually is, but then sound quality is "completely" subjective where bootlegs are concerned - in fact, it's subjective regardless of the performance. Taking someone to task over the quality of an audience recording is just not really on.
You might not be able to listen to it, but someone else may well be perfectly happy with it as their tolerance level is that much higher. If you're that unhappy with it, why did you buy it in the first place - did you not request to hear it first?

Since when was that message aimed at you? I would suggest that most of what you have to say is total bollocks aswell.
If Brian was so pro-bootlegs why does he ensure there are checks at all his gigs, and why the fanclub refuses to comment on them? IF he does collect Queen bootlegs he will be collecting them for their collectability (ie, proper bootlegs,. not home made CDRs), which is slightly different to supporitng active bootlegging. The Roger Taylor Wolverhampton recording is poor by bootleg standards... end of story. All the Roger Taylor Electric Fire tour recordings are crap as theyre recorded by fans on MD recorders which are hardly renowned for their quality and they didn't know what they were doing.

I didn't say that it WAS aimed at me - I just thought I'd ann my two-pennorth...

I don't see too many other people disagreeing....
> If Brian was so pro-bootlegs why does he ensure there are checks at all his gigs,
BRIAN doesn't ensure the checks (he just turns up and plays) - it is the venue / promotor / management that ensure that copyright isn't breached. Brian couldn't care less and would probably do what Page / Plant did and allow taping to openly happen. the fact is that his solo shows have relied so heavily on Queen material that it's the Queen side of things that prevents Brian taking a stand.
> and why the fanclub refuses to comment on them?
They have their hands tied by QPL who consistently ignore their existance
> IF he does collect Queen bootlegs he will be collecting them for their collectability (ie, proper bootlegs,. not home made CDRs), which is slightly different to supporitng active bootlegging.
How different? If a home-made CD-r exists that hasn't bee factory-pressed or is in better packaging / sound quality, why wouldn't he collect that?
