Before I go be an idiot and upload this thing against the rules, is Queen's performance at Live Aid considered "official" material?
Because I have the DVD box set, and I think the quality'll be somewhat better than any bootlegs you guys might have.

It most definately is official. You have the proof in your hands (the dvd box set).
CRUD.
Ah well, you guys miss out. :P
Anybody else wanna state their professional opinions on this?

That's the professional's opinion. Official.
Shouldn't we be encouraging all the people with bootleg copies to BUY the real thing?

Everybody should buy all the "real" releases in order to be a "real" Queen fan :P
A real Queen fan with too much dang money.
It cost me 44 bucks CDN just to get this dang thing.
I've seen Queen, the Who, Bowie, U2, McCartney, and Status Quo.
Just about everything else I skipp'd.

No-one's telling him to go out and buy it. Penetration_guru was suggesting that we should be encouraging people to buy this official product as opposed to downloading songs from it for free.
There are video & audio bootlegs of Live Aid floating around. Why not?
What he was wanting to share was mp3 rips of the official dvd.
I hope that clears your confusion.
oh right! yeh that solves my confusion lol!
I downloaded the 13mb file floating around in 2002 which was the Live Aid show up to Crazy Little Thing Called Love. I did it without qualms because Bob Geldof said the show was never to be released.
THEN he released the stuffing show, haven't listened to it since, on account of kind of being - poor.

Though many things were cut from the DVD, including Zepplins whole performance, and quite a bit of sabbaths performance.
And the performances of Carlos Santana, The Hooters, amd quite a few more artists as well as songs being cut and left off the DVD from artists that are on the DVD.
If you go on Geldof's official website they tell you that 10 hours of the 16 hour event were released on the DVD.
It also goes into great detail about the source generation tapes, the broadcasts, and audio/video recording feeds.
