Queen
Leiden, Holland
Groenoordhallen
September 20, 1984
This is one of the best shows of the Works tour. As usual in Holland, the audience are a very enthusiastic bunch. Freddie's voice is in pretty good shape, although he's at the point in the tour where he can't nail the beginning of It's A Hard Life anymore.
A new better-sounding source (cutting in at Is This The World We Created) was recently shared at Queenzone, so what I have uploaded here is only the first 43 minutes of the show. I was sure to fade it out at the exact point that the second source begins, so nothing is missing.
Lineage: AUD > Master > 2nd Generation Tape > WAV > CDR (x) > WAV > FLAC frontend (level 8)

Distribute these files only if they are left completely unaltered. As always with my shares, be sure that this recording is not made available at Queenzone or elsewhere in mp3 or any other lossy format. Keep lossless files lossless.
Enjoy!
P.S. I took a bit longer than expected, because mediafire rejected my first file. They apparently have a 100 mb max now, so I had to split them into three zip files from two.
Hippolyte, you're from Ontario... cool! Any chance of you seeing We Will Rock You at the Canon Theatre in Toronto? I'm going to be playing guitar in the band, so it'd be nice to say hi to a fellow QZer after a show.

Congratulations on your new gig. :)
I do have tickets for the matinee on March 17th. If you're working then, I'd love to say hello after the show.
Thanks a lot Bob!
I was checking all my boots with EAC (mp3 sourced or not?) and discovered that my copy of the Leiden 1984 was from MP3! So this is great!
About the Leiden 1980 tape from LP: the good news is: I have checked it, and it's lossless!
The bad news: I need to correct the speed because it's too slow...
I hope I can find time somewhere this week to fix the recording and make a FLAC torrent of it!
Cheers!

Oh yeah, that's right! I remember that from the mp3s I heard a few years ago. About a semitone, right?

Excellent. I'm playing every show, so I'm sure we'll be able to say hi afterward.
Maybe a stupid question, but where can I find the second half of the gig ? Did you upload it allready or plan to upload it ?
And of course big THANKS for sharing

Thanks for sharing.
One question about your new gig:
What is the most difficult song for you to perform and why?- Do you have to do the guitar solos?
Take care

The other guitarist and I get an equal number of solos... 4 or 5 each. When performing professionally in theatre, it's not the songs themselves that are difficult. If anything, the challenge is blending the music with everything else!

Don´t forget to record your shows in Lossless format and share it here for free ; )
Really, i would love to hear you playing some songs.
Take care
P.S- Just be carefull, because now you have responsabilities with the band and the songs. Don´t share anything unless you´re shure that it´s OK.
