I recorded this myself back in 1999 and I've never come across another copy, although I do know that the father of Black Sabbath's then lead singer (is he now???) filmed it on his video camera. He offerred me a copy, but I never actually received it :(
Because it was 9 years ago, I can't remember what equipment I recorded it on. I think it was minidisc set to LP mode (ie, full quality mono) and it was either recorded with a Radio Shack boundary mic or a cheap computer mic that cost me a couple of quid.
The recording was also probably EQ'd in Soundforge to add some treble to it.
My favorite memory of this concert is walking from the stage door to the front door, chatting with Brian before the show, and laughing at the fact that the pub opposite was full of Queen fans, none of whom had even noticed their idol was 10 yards away from them in plain site!
This is a rip of the CD I made at the time. The original Minidisc will have been re-used many times since.

Sorry but I haven't got my head round creating torrents yet, so it's Rapidshare simply because I pay them money for an account every year.

Dear Stone Cold Leo '82, please bring us more information about your recording once you have compared !
Cozy was just an enormously talented guy. Another great musician who died too soon.
This guy earns respect, and not only for his work with Brian May, be curious and discover all he did : www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/palladium/9932/cpowe_biography.htm

I thought everybody have that version... It was not at all a rare recording in the trading circle years ago... Ok, I'll tell you once I have downloaded this. Just one thing: mine is 120% mp3 sourced as it was probably downloaded from the old Queenzone... many years ago... :-)
Stonecoldcrazy: You'll probably find that your MP3 copy is from this as I shared it with a few friends at the time and also sold about 5 copies at the Queen convention....

Just one note: I'm Stone Cold Leo'82 B.R. [img=/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif][/img]
Yes, it's probably yours (2 or 3 generations higher). Here is the sample of my version:

which starts exactly at the same point of the yours. And yours is longer! [img=/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif][/img]
It's not a rare recording but I seem to remember mine was mp3 sourced (yes, those were the bad years with the mp3 trades) so perhaps this will be a better version, thanks :)
