After a long break I come back with another year. I had HUGE problems today with the upload, so some parts are on rapidshare and some on mediafire, sorry for that. I'm pretty sure that someone will reupload it somewhere else for those of you who don't like rapidshare. I also hope that these links will stay up as long as possible :( Every concert will be for "security reasons" in a separate posts, this time it's 5 concerts. |

Venue : Oakland Coliseum Arena, Oakland, California, USA
Lineage : AUD > Master > 3rd Generation Tape > WAV > CDR > WAV > FLAC frontend (level 8)
Queen Oakland, USA Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum July 14, 1980 This is a third generation recording of an excellent early Game tour gig. The quality is superb, and surely an upgrade of all previous versions. Unfortunately the last track is TYMD, but at least we have most of the concert. Save Me cuts out at the end, so we're missing Now I'm Here as well. It's awesome to hear Freddie sing Need Your Loving Tonight like the record version, because his voice was in such good shape early on in the tour. For that song alone, this bootleg is worth obtaining, but the entire show has Freddie in magical voice. Brian's guitar solo is a bit long and wandering, but he really does create some pretty things this night. Overall, this show is one of the very best. Lineage: AUD > Master > 3rd Generation Tape > WAV > CDR > WAV > FLAC frontend (level 8) Disc 1: Jailhouse Rock We Will Rock You (fast) Let Me Entertain You Need Your Loving Tonight Play The Game Mustapha Death On Two Legs Killer Queen I'm In Love With My Car Somebody To Love Get Down, Make Love You're My Best Friend Save Me Disc 2: Fat Bottomed Girls Love Of My Life Keep Yourself Alive Tympani Solo Guitar Solo / Brighton Rock (ending) Crazy Little Thing Called Love Bohemian Rhapsody Tie Your Mother Down Distribute these files only if they are left completely unaltered, and always include the lineage information. As always with my shares (and preferably everybody else's!), be sure that this recording is not made available at Queenzone or elsewhere in mp3 or any other lossy format.

Date : 8. December 1980
Venue : Wembley Arena, London, UK
Lineage : AUD > ? > "FLASH ALIVE " > Direct Transfer fom Japanese LP > USB turntable > Audacity

The best sounding recording from Wembley 80
Review from link Queen are a force to be reckoned with on this tour, and this show in particular is such an excellent one on all levels. Musically they are spot on, and Freddie's voice is nothing short of perfect, hitting every note he wants to. Their vocal harmonies are tight, with Play The Game being a notable mention. Freddie notes that it's "Fucking freezing in this auditorium" before Mustapha. "Especially for all those people in the back. But we'll get your asses on fire in a minute, don't worry." Before Love Of My Life, Brian mentions the temperature too, however a wee bit more diplomatically than Freddie as per usual. "Well, I hope you're all warming up a little by now. It feels like it." There are a few great adlibs from Freddie. In Killer Queen, he sings, "Perfume came naturally from Wembley," something which he had done many times in the past at various places around the world (London and Tokyo, at least). And later, there is his "Ride on cowboy, any way you like, on your bike" during Fat Bottomed Girls, his mimic of the Flash Gordon movie during Flash, "Oh Flash, I love you, I love you, I love you!" and "You can save the world" between verses of The Hero. Freddie has a few little exchanges with audience members tonight. Before Save Me, it sounds like he says, "What did you say in belching? I'll turn you into a frog if you don't watch it." Before Fat Bottomed Girls, he contemplates the next song in the setlist, and tells himself, "We're gonna do that one, yes," and then shouts, "You shut up! You keep out of this!" After a brief pause, he continues. "We're gonna do as he says, by the way. This is a dirty little number, and we've uh..." He gets distracted again and says, "You shut up as well. What is this!? You wanna come up and sing it? C'mon!" Instead of following through with his invitation, he continues with his usual style of intro of the song, "It's all about tits and bums as you know. It's called Fat Bottomed Girls." Freddie sings a very aggressive version of Fat Bottomed Girls. After he (unusually) sings the final "rockin' world go 'round" like the record version, Roger shouts "Woooo!" in excitement. About 2 1/2 minutes into Brian's guitar solo, there is a beautiful moment. His choice of notes and rhythms in his ascending and descending run sound very classical, and he probably didn't even realize it on the fly. Thank goodness for tape! A bit later, you can hear Brian fiddling with his delay unit to get the right timing before entering Battle Theme. The Flash Gordon soundtrack was released today, which means their audiences didn't know Battle Theme and The Hero when they had been performed at earlier shows on the European tour. Tonight would be the first show where they'd use a synth. They performed Flash for the first time two nights before in Birmingham, with Brian playing the rhythm on his guitar. The band then decided it was best to have him on the keyboard instead, to be closer to the record version (probably a 3-1 decision in the band democracy!). As seen on the Buenos Aires video from the following year, Brian switches from the piano to the synth patch the old-fashioned way - by manually pushing a button, instead of a foot pedal. Like two nights ago, Queen swapped the encores. Freddie and Roger's voices blend perfectly in the second verse of Sheer Heart Attack. At the end of the show, after thanking the audience, Freddie adds, "Hey, we can all go home now and get fucked!" Queen dropped Need Your Loving Tonight from the setlist after this show for some reason. It would be played now and again in 1981, usually alternating nights with Rock It.Download links : link link link link link link link link link |

And the LAST concert for this year
Date : 14. December 1980
Venue : Festhalle, Frankfurt, Germany
Queen Frankfurt, Germany Festhalle December 14, 1980 Here's an upgrade of the Frankfurt 80 recording. I know a better version exists with a wider stereo sound, but this is definitely the lowest generation copy I've heard yet (a friend of mine traded for the tape from a German collector in 1984). This is a great, energetic show from the boys. Listen to Brian mess up on the piano at the beginning of Save Me. It takes a few seconds for he and Freddie to synch together again. This is probably the best recording of Queen's rendition of Imagine we'll ever hear. This is also one of the best recordings of Battle Theme. It didn't last long in their live set, as they dropped it after the Japanese '81 shows. I've also added God Save The Queen is from from the "Imagine" bootleg on the Gypsy Eye label. They used the common source as well, and added Sheer Heart Attack and GSTQ from an inferior alternate source. But unfortunately, the two discs are plagued with digital clicks and noise. GSTQ luckily didn't have too many clicks, so I was able to clean most of that one up, but it was impossible to salvage SHA (if it even is genuinely from Frankfurt).

Hi, people! Thanks, Pittrek for the wonderful downloads. I hope you're all doing fine. May I ask you guys some questions? 1) Was the belgium concert uploaded here the first European gig of the Game Tour? Or one of the last gigs of that tour? Or... :op 2) As for the 8-12-80 concert in Wembley, is there any version of this concert featuring "Let Me Entertain You"? If my memory serves me right, the song didn't feature in Flash Alive. If there's any recording of this particular song, would anyone be so kind as to pm me or upload it here? 3) Eager to listen to the one in Belgium. 4) I'd like to do a little remaster on the Frankfurt gig for personal use and to get a better sense of what may actually have been played: notes, chords, colour, and so on. I'd do it based on other better-sounding gigs of the same period. What programs would you guys recommend me? 5) Thank you very much in advance for your patience. 6) Thanks Pittrek, that's my favorite year in terms of Queen's live performances. 7) Bye. |

OwenSmith 15.03.2012 04:55 |
Just to be sure we're talking about the same thing, you're seeding the 32.41GB "Pittrek Best of the Best Queenconcerts" torrent? Because I haven't had any data from a seed in nearly 2 weeks, and with only 1.72GB left to finish it's a real shame. uTorrent hasn't even claimed there is a seed in nearly a week, and before that whenever I did get a seed I only got about a 1kbps download speed from the last seed. EDIT: having re-read your post I think you're saying you are seeding the 1980 specific torrent, is this correct? |
