Chicago 1978

Nino - nice to see you on this board :-)

ThomasQuinn - I'll just be happier if people don't speak about me behind my back. I know I might have been "protective" about a couple of songs in the past but believe me, it's nothing compared to plenty of people who're on QueenZone too. It's just that I'm sometimes too loud. But I learnt my lesson...

I have a version which seems to be slightly altered, but I think it's the orginal bootleg... only... it's soundboard until about 30 seconds into Spread Your Wings and then switched to an excellent audience recording.

Maybe the audience version people talk about is this one, or maybe an entire soundboard version doesn't actually exist?!

Help me out on this one... I got it from the hub some time ago.

It's at 256 kpbs if any one has the exact same one

I hope we are finished because I have an important question to ask:

Can anyone burn me a copy of the Platinum collection (onthree discks of course) and mail it to me special devivery? I don't want to wait too long to hear it.

And while you are at it can you send me a copy the Queen & PR Brixton show? I have never heard any of these Queen songs live before.

I have a 256 hub copy of this show. I did not notice a change in audio quality, but I have only listened to it once or twice (and I was not listening that closely (in the car).

What's your user name in the hub? And btw I see a WAV version of this gig, same source?

got things handled scully?

If not *cracks knuckles* ya just let me know!

I just downloaded this gig from Rip in the hub. I believe it's an audience recording but the sound quality is awesome! The bit of Fun It in the KYA intro is very cool:) Great concert and thanx for the download Rip!

Lol @ IE - I would like to see that :)

Wow! During Brighton Rock at 11:22 you can hear something that sounds like Hammer to Fall!!! What a great concert!

Edit: I just uploaded Brighton Rock (Chicago 78). Take a listen yourself:

well noted!!... so it originated long before 1984... Something Brian started playing around with that made the light of day on the Works album.

Your Welcome Wybren, but all I did was be a good hub user and reshare this concert. The real thanks should be for all those who made this and other concerts available for all Queen fans.
