QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS LIVE TOUR DOWNLOADS
After each show on the forthcoming tourvthe band will be making live tracks available for download exclusively on www.queenonline.com. You can burn these tracks onto a special packaged blank Q+PR CD that is available to buy in the site online store. The idea is that once you have purchased the disc you can then burn the live tracks to it and create your own Queen + Paul Rodgers live album!

All profits after production go to The Mercury Phoenix Trust –‘Fighting Aids Worldwide’.

Good news! I hope they'll make every song from every show available:)

I've seen this...excellent news. I hope they release every song from every concert as well!!

One thing though, if you don't buy the Queen + PR CD are the songs still available? I've got enough CD's to burn many shows. The maximum amount of time for each CD is around 73 minutes I beleive...not enough for even one gig!! (150 minutes each show....not even 2 is enough unless it's edited).

Think I'll wait until early next week so see if Farncourt set list is available for download before I commit!

Fancourt won't be available, since all the 'download earnings' go to the Mercury Phoenix Trust, not to 'Mandela' (and that's why they have the 46664 concerts in the first place).

I think you won't have to buy the Q+PR CDRs (€7,50 for an empty CD:S) to download the songs. I hope 7 Digital accepts PayPal, does anyone know?

When all profits go to MPT we should not criticise the project, right? I think it's useless to get only a few songs from each concert. If I only get selected few songs I rather go for the bootleg. I donate enough money and I don't need some Itune rubbish to do my bit. Not to mention the ridiculously expensive blank CD.

Again a basically good idea is ruined before even starting. Why in all the world is it so hard to release a decent soundboard Audio CD from each concert? Other artists can do it and it would be the only way to make bootlegs redundant. They can still donate their profit if they want.

i agree with you.

We need to get ppl to bootleg all the shows, I have a feeling that is gonna be the only way we will ever be able to hear them.

The scheme sounds half-arsed... which seems typical of Queen Production these days.

Compare with...

as far as I can tell, every show from last tour...

Even a famous italian band (elio e le storie tese) releases the whole live concert on cd 10 minutes later the end of the concert for 10Eur each cd, completed with jewel case and booklet (there are three different setlists of concerts)...they can burn 50 cds at once and you get it without caring for bootlegs cos the quality is excellent!!!!!!

so Queen Production....get a life and learn from smaller bands...you can make (and donate) lots of money in this way!

hitman, stavo per dirlo io!

Yep, hitman's right, that was a great great idea

Or.. they could take a hint from Jam Bands and just allow tapers at the gigs. That would certainly solve all bootleg problems. Who will pay for a bootleg when 12 other tapers were at the same gig and are offering for free?

If it is good and I like it I will be the first one to pay. If I don't like it I won't have it at all. That's how it goes in my world.

Does anyone want to guess how many songs are released before the project is abandoned? :I


I have no intention of buying any downloads from QP, even if they would release complete concerts... Give me a factory pressed soundboard recording with a proper booklet from the concert of my choice, and I'm ready to part with my hard earned money.

Otherwise you can forget it!

Well...maybe we'll forget it..
..and i guess will always be so sadly sorry for this...lol

Is this a way for Q+PR to make even more money?
Just think - Fans now do their own CD pressing. No more pressing plant charges!!!
Having said that... I've ordered one!
