Queen London, UK New London Theatre October 6, 1977 This is a compilation of two copies of the same audience tape of the famous We Are The Champions video shoot and short concert, both lossless - one being "Champions Shoot" on the Wardour label, and the other being a much higher generation tape. Much of the WATC video shoot is missing on the Wardour version, so I spliced in all the missing parts from the inferior version. Still, two parts are missing: The initial playing of WATC (before they started filming) cuts out after a few seconds, and the third video take of the song is missing as well. The Wardour version's pitch was 1/3 of a semitone too fast, so I adjusted it to make the two versions run at the same speed. 1. Bob Harris' speech, first listen to WATC (cut) * 2. Queen introduction, WATC video shoot 1 */** 3. WATC video shoot 2 */** 4. Speech before WATC video shoot 3 (cut at 0:44), WATC video shoot 4 * 5. Tie Your Mother Down * 6. Keep Yourself Alive * 7. Somebody To Love * 8. White Man * 9. The Prophet's Song * 10. Liar * 11. Bohemian Rhapsody (until end of guitar solo) * 12. Now I'm Here * 13. Jailhouse Rock * 14. See What A Fool I've Been * A couple of great moments: I love what happens after the first WATC shoot. Brian says, "we'll have to try this a couple more times, okay?" And then an audience member, with plenty of excitement in his voice, says "I don't care!" After Bob Harris reveals that take 3 will be done with the cameras on the audience, and without the band on stage, someone else in the audience says, "It's not gonna be the same without them!" Luckily, the entire concert is from the higher quality version, and it's really worth listening to in this quality. Check out the loose and experimental version of White Man / The Prophet's Song - very interesting! It sounds much more like the middle section of Get Down Make Love, because it's Brian's guitar that has the harmonization effects, not Freddie's voice (which I really prefer, actually!). This is probably the first time Brian used the e-bow on stage. The whole band sounds great, and are clearly happy to give the fan club members a great set. Also worth noting is that this is undoubtedly the greatest version of See What A Fool I've Been. Freddie's voice is so much more accomplished in this version. He sings it so passionately and aggressively. It's amazing to hear how much his voice grew in a year and a half since they had last played the song. This would turn out to be the final performance of the song. Killer version of Liar here as well. Do NOT convert this recording to mp3 or any other lossy format, unless it's for your own use. This recording is the one that should spread because it's most complete, lossless, and the best quality. This is the first time I have shared this recording with anybody, so if I find this recording anywhere in mp3 or any other lossy format, this will be the last time I share anything on this website. link Enjoy! |

I agree that you are a star... I just got done finishing the other download of this from the other post and I'm currently downloading this one. What's the difference in soundquality if you don't mind my asking?? But thank you for doing this regardless of whatever the soundquality is!! You are a gentleman and a scholar!! |
| Richy Mercury 11.01.2007 08:47 |

I'm happy to answer anything people have to ask me. :) It's very similar to the previous one that was shared, except that one was a bad mp3 encoding with a lot of digital noise. Also, I've filled in a few of the gaps in the video shoot from an inferior quality (but longer) copy. Hope you enjoy. Richy Mercury wrote: Bob, Where have you been? I've sent you a few emails..

After checking the file length of the file downloaded from Megaupload, and a few deleted copies I had in the Recicle Bin I downloaded from Mediafire I noticed they wheren't the same. Mediafire is screwing up my downloads by not guiving me the last few kb of the file. I keep gueting a difrent size file each and every time. |

Over in England we say day, month year. I'll never understand why the Americans say month, day, year! Maybe we should all be more precise to avoid confusion and actually write the name of the month so: 28th October 77 (or even october 28th 77) It's quite frustrating when you download a concert and it's not always clear whether it's listed the English or American way! |
| The Real Wizard 04.08.2007 00:13 |
Just so you know, I'm Canadian! Month/day/year... it's just a cultural thing. We generally say "August 4th" instead of "The fourth of August". We just have an understanding that we have cultural differences. But it's really easy to pick up on, when you see a number beyond 12. Sure, 2-1-79 is ambiguous, but when you see 2-28-79 in the next paragraph, you then realize that the first one was February 1 and not January 2. And vice versa. 13-3-77 isn't January 3 of next year. It's March 13, for whoever chooses to write it that way. |
