| Hi. I'm new to the site but a Queen fan from way back. I recently got a copy of the Houston 77 show only to find out that in the middle of "39" there is an awful skip that jumps from the middle of the first verse into the middle of the second verse totally ruining the song. I contacted the guy I got this from and asked if his master was that way or not. Instead of responding with an answer, he told me to throw the old copies away and he would send new ones. About two weeks later, I get the new copies and the same defect is there. Again, I wrote and inquired (nicely) about the skip. Now, instead of any sort of response or offer I get nothing and have given up on trying to get a copy from him that doesn't have the skip. I guess I should have known this might happen as I purchased a copy of the same show on DVD from him (which I had read in a magazine was pro-shot) and got what appeared to be a multi-generation vhs copy dubbed to dvd with some of the worst flickering, streaking, etc. I have ever seen on a bootleg. I was shocked he was passing this off as excellent. Anyway, my loss, but my query is this---is there good copies of this show on cd and dvd out there and if so, is there anyone that might steer me in the direction of obtaining them? I would love to have both, but would settle for the audio version. I am set to do some trading as far as audio goes, but not video, however I would be willing to work with anyone in anyway to obtain copies of this show. If a trade isn't possible, I can do a B&P or whatever anyone is comfortable with. If any of you can help or give me suggestions, I would appreciate it. On another note, I just watched the Queen dvd from 12/24/75 last night--what a treat to see them that way and think that it was exactly 30 years ago. Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for any help anyone sends me. I can be reached directly at lastdazeofmay@hotmail.com. |
