Thanks Arlene.

It´s a shame that they only contact each other by "beautifull letters". I think the eye contact would do such a diference!!

Its just unfortunate that I missed the full Paul Rodgers one :( But then I didnt know it was on but hey at least I got the rest. Also, if you go to Thomas Zeidler's site ( http://www.queentour2005.wegotit.at/Danny ) you will get the interview he did with Danny Miranda which was broadcast recently - a very good interview as well.

I spent most this morning listening to the entire interviews, including with the crew as well. Great stuff. Quite informative. Nice to hear Roger open a bit. And the intreview with Queen's sound engineer Trip was a cool treat!

I enjoyed these, thanks for sharing them. I was surprised by two things...

1. The poor transmission quality of "digital radio"

2. How differently mixed the live tracks are - out front I can barely hear Roger behind Spike/Jamie/Danny, on the recordings it's the other way round...

The sound you hear from this files isnt exactly the sound you hear from the original broadcast. Heres something I put in a reply in another thread:-

The correct lineage for these files is fom Sky broadcast (channel 861) to VHS tape (except for the Brian interview which went straight to cassette tape as I happened to be in the house at the time), then to cassette tape and finally onto hard drive using Cool Edit Pro to save the files as Wave. I then used MusicMatch to convert them to MP3. Incase you are wondering, using cassette to transfer the files to HD was the only method open for me.

Sorry, it wasn't a criticism, and having read your explanation, I'd never believe that you had any other choice - nobody would do all that by choice!

No criticism taken PG, its cool. I only supplied the info just so that you knew the correct method as I said.
