Is it confirmed that they're going to broadcast the whole of the original Hyde Park gig? Not seen any mention of it on any of the Queen sites or Brians site and Planet Rocks website makes no mention of it at all.

Anyone got any more news on this? I'll trade my ex for a good copy of Hyde Park 76. :)

LOL. Just 2 days left, who is going to record it, and put it in FLAC on QZ? (A)
Like I said, we won't be able to get lossless flac. The DAB broadcast will be encoded at 128kbps and the DVB probably at 192kbps.

OK.
I'm just realising there is a huge hole in my understanding of "lossless" vs "lossy".
How does the bitrate make it lossy or not?
Transmitted on dvb, what is being transmitted in way of file format? How does this actually work?
192kbps seems reasonable. Is there a bitrate that makes it lossless?
Hmmm. I need to find out more about this stuff.
I'm not sure how it works. I just know that by fiddling around with my DAB radio I get a screen which says its broadcasting at 128kbps Stereo and I know from a friend that DVB is 192 kbps. I guess we can put it in flac to stop the hassle of getting rid of the gaps, but I'm not sure if its entirely lossless.
But with the gig not going ahead now, I wonder whether the show will be broadcast this week or next week...

just been listening to Planet Rock:
"next week with all things being well - we'll bring you Queen in concert"

From Dimeadozen:
Digital broadcasts and webcasts are all lossy compressed nowadays. In principle it is not allowed to share lossy compressed material on DIME. An exception is made when the following criteria are fullfilled:
It is known that there is no lossless (better quality) source at the trading community's disposal.
The lossy compressed material is shared in its original compressed format.
If the material was compressed at a bitrate of 192kbps or greater, and it is not known to be available in the original format, then it is allowed to share it in a lossless compression format. Such torrents must include the following information in both the description of the torrent and the info file:
That the material comes from a lossy broadcast; and
State the compression format and bitrate of the broadcast.
Please note: Broadcast networks like Sky Digital and Freeview as well as acronyms such as DVB, DAB, and ADR all represent lossy compressed digital broadcasts.
So its next Saturday now?!...
Why can't they just do it tomorrow?!...

I assume its next Friday not Saturday. They said they'll be backstage at Hyde Park.
Timewise I think they said 7pm but not 100% sure.

Hmmm... maybe they'll just do the backstage stuff next Friday. I always thought the live stuff was on their Saturday Night Live night... Maybe they'll still broadcast the 76 gig tonight...

Glad to see we've heard more about this! I really do hope the recording is better than the bootleg, and that it was mixed properly. Freddie's vocal was far too loud on the bootleg, and Roger's wasn't loud enough.
Also a big drawback of the bootleg is inconstant tape speed of the recording witch causes out of tune problems, I think.
Is this still due to be played at 9pm tomorrow? Has anyone heard anything this week about it?
Apparently Planet Rock won't be broadcasting anything from Hyde Park '76... just the Q+PR downloads in sync with the band playing tonight. They were obviously overly optimistic with their original claims.
