One of my favorite live albums is Live Magic! A Majority of the songs are from the Knebworth Concert But the audio is completely remastered, It's Incredable! I'm dieing to know how the heck do they remaster the audio to the unbelievable quality as heard in Live Magic! I know guys can share your comments and help me on this one. Thanks! |
| thequeen 13.02.2009 11:14 |
as for quality ...you're maybe right,and it's nice to hear some audio from Knebworth (but....) but it's a shame really that they edit almost everything ... with 4 songs in unedited form also ... why hasn't this release been updated by QPL .... (we did get 1!! official "Magic" show only in full) instead of releasing a full compilation .... no wait ...why not just release Knebworth .....Fuck man ! It's late .... |
| victor fleitas 13.02.2009 17:45 |
this album sound really bad comparing to wembley or montreal, of course queen producctions didnt "remastered" the bootleg that some guy recorded, they just used the multitrack... there is nothing special about that... of course it will sound better than the bootleg... |

It's not re-mastered, just mastered. Mastering refers to the processing of fully mixed recordings for release on an audio-carrier. It involves equalizing, compressing/limiting and the likes, to make the overall sound more balanced, and to optimize the sound for a variety of playback-configurations. Re-mastering occurs when the original master-track for a previously released recording is mastered for a new release. The term then serves merely to illustrate that the new release differs from the original one. |

I must say that Live Magic, even the tracks taken from Wembley, does sound a hell of a lot better than live at Wembley (even the remastered versions of that). |
| Marcos Napier 23.02.2009 11:03 |
"Remastering" tracks takes a lot more than just trying audio plug-ins here and there. Sometimes you can get much better results than the originals with just a few tweaks, but overkill happens more often than you can think. You can virtually remove any hiss or noises, but depending on what the plugin you're using, you'll make the original audio sound like it's under water too. |

I agree w/ you Sir GH. I've been wanting a Hyde Park '76, Houston '77, or Chicago '78 for about 3 years now. They'll produce their (Queen Productions) worst fear of flooding the market by releasing yet another 80's concert on DVD. They ought to wait 3 or 4 years before doing Knebworth. |
| john bodega 26.02.2009 21:45 |
It's been fairly well established that there'll be no Knebworth DVD, on account of the video having never existed. (I dunno if that's what you were getting at). If they were to do the unthinkable and release MORE Magic Tour stuff... (like Budapest perhaps) it would definitely be a nice extra if they were to release whatever Knebworth stuff does exist, on a 2nd disc. We've probably seen most of the film that there is already, but you never know. It boggles the mind. They basically have the perfect template in Led Zeppelin's live DVD set. Someone ought to just slam that down in front of Brian and say to him, "DO THIS". It'd help to make sure he understands that we want 70's shows first, though. |

| cmi 27.02.2009 02:45 |
I don't understand why people is so excited about the Led Zeppelin DVD. Yes, the quality of audio and footage is great but we have lost the opportunity to see the releases of complete set concerts from Earls Court 75 and Knebworth 79. It'll be much better to release Royal Albert Hall 1970 DVD, Earls Court 1975 DVD, Knebworth 1979 DVD as the separate editions and The Song Remains The Same DVD as it was released maybe with some alternate concert footage in addition. Personally I don't want to receive Queen DVD compilation of 5 tracks from each well-known 70's concert which deserves DVD release on its own. |

And they probably haven't seen what's in the archives waiting for a good DVD release, either... If they had, they'd probably get frustrated just to think that we might still have another Magic DVD. |

But it's really only limited to the film footage that DoRo took, as far as I know. To me it just looks like a very unfortunate but simple blunder. They're still at it, by the way - I hear quite a few of the Q+PR shows weren't fully recorded. Ha! CMI wrote: I don't understand why people is so excited about the Led Zeppelin DVD.

Personally I don't want to receive Queen DVD compilation of 5 tracks from each well-known 70's concert which deserves DVD release on its own. Good point, I think. It would be interesting to see how those four Led Zeppelin shows would fare as separate DVD releases, as opposed to the compilation that is being sold. To my mind, it'd be cool to have complete releases of each show, but by the same token... I've seen and heard some of the stuff that isn't on the Led Zeppelin DVD, and some of it really isn't worth having. (Heartbreaker at Knebworth, for instance). I guess, if I had to choose between a scenario in which we have no 70's Queen shows on DVD, vs. a scenario where we have a carefully selected volume of the stuff that best represents the band on DVD, I'd definitely go with the latter. Of course I'd prefer to get every show that's available, but I mean - I'd take whatever. It'd certainly be more than what we have now ... Although I did notice; when I bought GVH2 in 2003, it had one song from the "On Fire" show which came out a while later. Then when I got the ANATO DVDs, there was a performance of "Sweet Lady" from Hyde Park. I remember twiddling my thumbs and thinking 'maaaaaybe that means it'll be on DVD soon'.... Still waiting! |

It's such a shame that there isn't a way you could master it yourself to make it sound like the Live Magic album. But, with the edited versions of the songs from Knebworth from the Live Magic Album, and the Knebworth mastered version of Under Pressure that I heard on YouTube, I'm thinking that there's got to be a way to "master" it yourself or there might be a copy of the soundboard recording of the Knebworth Concert somewhere. It's just a suggustion. |

Again, it's impossible to make a cassette tape recorded from the audience with amateur gear sound as good as that. |

macman223 wrote: Do you guys know what drum set Roger Used At Knebworth? For the whole Magic Tour, definitely a Yamaha kit, but off the top of my head I can't recall which model - maybe a 9000 series, and either a Recording or Stage Custom. Very different kit to those Roger traditionally went for both before and after that tour; very 'dead' sounding toms as opposed to the very ambient roomy sound he usually prefers. He also went with the matching Yamaha snare which was also strange as when most drummers change kits they usually retain their favourite snare drum - especially in Roger's case as he is one of very few drummers who has a signature snare sound. Although the drum sound on the Magic tour is totally different, it is very good in my opinion - although the snare has quite a 'crack' as opposed to his usual 'smooth' type sound. I'll shut up now!! |

I'm not referring to the DoRo single camera stuff (audience wide shot during "GaGa" and the wide shot of the "ITTWWC" performance. That footage doesn't match the video recording) All we need is yet another "Magic Tour" DVD! Wembley, Budapest and Knebworth! Seeing Budapest was shot on film, I think those saying it'll be released soon(perfect for Blu-Ray) are probably on the money |

Brian says the video screen wasn't recorded, so it's just a matter of what other little bits of footage remain. |

The intro and "Ga Ga" were all that were shown (I uploaded them here years ago), but the full OB crew covered that entire show.

| john bodega 22.03.2009 01:44 |
Indeed, stranger things have happened as far as recordings disappearing, showing up, disappearing again... for the moment I merely lean towards taking Brian at his word because (regardless of what may have been recorded in the past) it would seem that at the moment, nothing exists; or at least, it can't be found. I have been told about the little snippets of the big screen being shown in mash-ups before, but haven't actually seen any of them. When were they used? |
| Ken8 22.03.2009 21:22 |
IIRC, the shot of Fred ripping a plastic bag off his head is one, and the shot of him striding up and down the stage's stairs (during Tear It Up) is another. As for losing material, Queen have nothing on the BBC, who have erased and lost hundreds of classic shows and programs! |

That are the kind of things I'd like to see :-)(if such things from the seventies exist eve more so!) Concerning Knebworth: I think the same as you. Brooks came here and hinted strongly that we can one day expect something nice from Knebworth. He made clear he couldn't tell us more about it. I think that Greg's posts here prove one thing: he isn't allowed to say anything at all. He has to make sure the fans remain interested and so from time to time there's some nice info but he can deny it the next week if needed. And there are many examples: in his Queen Live book he states he listened to many 1979 Live Killers shows (and also Crazy tour shows by the way) and when coming here he can't give details about Live Killers because that stuff hasn't been listened to in years.... Did anyone else think his list of filmed concerts was lauhing us in the face? It was just a big joke. Hammy'75 was not even included and we all know they almost released it:-) Brussels'79 etc. And in that list there was Knebworth too and Manchester'86 and Slane..... |

All the technicalities, arguments etc aside, Live Magic is a diabolical, waste of time, rushed, bloddy rip off of an album!! Has to be one of the worst live albums ever released!! Quality may be good but it's a butchered, edited mess of songs from Queens last ever concert with the exception of 2 songs I think. Was released following the phenomenal demand for the Magic Tour. Would have worked much better as a double CD and released years later with more time and effort! 2 CD releases were not the norm back in 1986 . A quick buck of an effort. Enough said. Maybe this could have been released as Queen Final Live 86 Knebworth and skipped the Wembley tracks altogether. |

The Knebworth Park show was never shot? Then what about the footage from it that appears in the video of The Show Must Go On? Parts of Radio Ga Ga on Rare Live? BTW, about the sound quality of the Live Magic album - yes, the European release has quite bad sound quality, but the Japanese release (which is re-mastered) improves on it a lot. ;) |

One, working for Queen, filmed the show, the footage was only meant to be shown on the big screens, so it wasn't recorded. The second team was working for DoRo, they were shooting a documentary about the concert. They have filmed mostly the audience, but also a part of the concert (less then a half if I remember Greg's words correctly). Only the stuff recorded by the DoRo team exists, plus a complete soundboard audio. This has been confirmed by both Brian and Greg, and they should know. |
