Bootlegging the 2005 gigs or am i being ridiculous?

In the good old days of course, there would probably only be one or two audio bootlegs per show plus maybe, the occasional shaky video. In 2005, we've nearly all got cell-phones that do everything including taking full video. I'll be using a sony ericsson s700i which can record 18 minute chunks of 176*120 video with sound at a cost of 10mb space. I reckon at this rate, allowing for the memory card, i'll have the capacity to record just about two hours of footage - providing the battery lasts out.

Is anyone else gonna be doing anything similar?

It'd be great if everyone shared their footage and perhaps one of the technical genius's on this board could put them all together for our very own 'fans perspective' multi-cam dvd.

I'm betting there will be professional bootleggers in the same room as I. ;)

Is there someone in my room??!

;-)))

I'm betting that at least 95% of the gigs of this tour will be available on the bootleg circuit.

Take a spare phone battery....

Bootlegging on this tour is a certainty....and bootlegs will be flying around after Brixton......first Queen related show since 1986 and first UK date and all that.....you bet your life.

I will describe you how the entrance to Sazka Arena in Prague looks like. Personal search -> metal detector -> another personal search.

Now tell me how the hell am I supposed to bring in my minidisc recorder? They're able to find EVERYTHING.

hmmm,thanks for this info,because i wanted to bring my equipment too.
so, a possibillity is: hang around at the venue>try to find some people who work there,esp.stage-hands>
ask them to bring your stuff in(and to sell their crew-shirt and workingpass after the show.
does anyone know about the other venues having a metal detector??maybe we shoud make a topic about this.
and ....i have metal in my jeans,zipp buttons so they won´t make me go through the metal detector with my underpants!(where i hide my md)

Now that's a good one, Scully! Is there anybody that could give that same kind of information about Milan, Frankfurt and Dortmund??

I will defintely bootleg the Stockholm gig wich I will go to. I shall call it "Alright Stockholm" or something like that. Will be distributed via the Queen Hub.

i've spoken a lot about the bootleging of the concerts of the 2005 tour but i fear that they'll put metal detectors in all the shows entrances if we keep on talking about the bootlegs eheh

You're right! ;-)

PLEASE DELETE TOPIC, YV! ;-)))

Oh yeah, cos the management of the venues will be spending 8 hours a day looking to see what we're planning.....

The answer is to have your "equipment" next to your "equipment", get searched by a female, and tell her when her lights go off that you have some intimate piercings...

"any utilization of audio and video recording equipment which is not authorized by the Organizer if forbidden"


Does it include cameras? I wanna make 1000 photos, as I don't have 'luxury' mobile phones and so on...

Any help is much appreciated.

nope, I know for a fact they dont let you bring camara's in, now days they wont let you bring your cell phone in cuz the pictures you can get, dunno about euroland. Pretty sure how Brian feels about bootlegs, lets see if they allow cell phones.
