Love of my Life was recorded in Paris, Pavillon, on the same night.

What proof do you have?

LOML is definitely from Frankfurt. I clearly have provided proof, with regards to the Freddie double-tracking. Listen carefully and you'll hear it. Every time you hear only one Freddie singing, it was at that exact moment in Frankfurt he let the audience sing.

I think We are the Champions is taken from the Barcelona gig, on Feb, 20th. Freddie's voice was quite good !

Yes, it was definitely an above average night for Freddie, but the Live Killers WATC is definitely not from this show, or any other show we can check with a commonly available bootleg at the moment.

In the booklet to GVH1 you can see that the audio from Love Of My Life video is from Frankfurt and the audio is exactly the same as on Live Killers but without: "The things you have to do for money hahahaha" and so on...

Interesting you should mention this...

Yes, it's all the exact same, with one small, but very important exception: Freddie's "thank you" was muted at the end, probably because they didn't want him saying that without the footage to match (although there are a couple other places in the video where the footage doesn't match the audio). But what this means is that the multi-tracks used for Live Killers back in 1979 are still handy today, which heightens the chances for a 1979 release on cd or DVD.

Another small update:

Yesterday I was listening to the Barcelona 2-20-79 concert, and I picked out part of Get Down, Make Love. I can 100% guarantee that the Live Killers GDML from 0:38 to 1:43 is from the second night in Barcelona. So, this single song is now from at least five concerts: Barcelona 2-20, Paris 3-1, Frankfurt 2-2, and at least two other unknown concerts. Unbelieveable...

Haven't heard from you in a little while, John. Send me a mail some time soon.

Greg surely is well aware of my work. He used some of it for his new book, but surely not all of it. Much of the new material was mine, but he did ignore all of my Live Killers work.

i will Bob i noticed Greg gave you a credit in his book its a shame he didnt just let you write the bloody thing.would have been far more interesting and great fun as well.i sent you something bob on thurs US mail...let me know what you think JP

Actually, Greg asked me to compile and edit everything for the book. I asked him how much he would pay, and he said, I quote, "there is no budget for this". I kindly declined the job. There was no way I was going to do all the work, for free, while he sits on his ass and takes all the credit.

*bump*

ok...bought some awesome sounding headphones - anyways listening to *39. From 1:31-1:35 (the last of the "ahhh's") as they did in LOML (the double voice w/ Freddie - I think they applied here. On the last "ah" when FM and RT hit the note - I hear one voice cut out and another finish off the note. I can honestly say that the voice that cuts out is FM's..amazing what killer set of headphones can hear

Good observation! I'll have to check that out. I just moved into a new place, so I'll post again after I finally find the LK cds and listen to them.
