This is a reupload, it was previously shared by Pittrek in his excellent Best Of The Best series. It was previously shared by audioarchivist, who mastered the recording taped by Fred W.... Thank you very much guys ! "1978.12.14 Vancouver, Pacific Coliseum 1gen Analog ReMaster to digital Originally recorded by Fred W. from right up front and center Tape to tape copy and mastering by Audioarchivist U - 101 Lineage: Queen > PA & stage monitor sound > air and audience > Fred's mics and rig (unsure - Marantz?) > Maxell UD90 tapes > vintage Akai replay deck (azimuth adjusted, no Dolby) > Sentrek 12 band analog EQ (minor low and high boost) > Denon DRM500 recording deck (Dolby on for recording) to make my tape copy > Maxell XL II 90 > played back on same Denon DRM500 (azimuth re-adjusted, no Dolby) > Sentrek 12 band analog EQ (more lows and highs, shaping upper bass/lower mids) > SoundBlaster live! 5.1 card (grounded and tweaked) > Wavelab 4.0(track markers only, no digital processing at all) > FLAC > WAV > re-editing in Cool Edit Pro > Trader's Little Helper > FLAC Original Notes: When I originally copied this from Fred's collection for myself on cassette, I was amazed how clear this recording was and how close Fred sounded to the stage. I almost always performed EQ surgery on any copies I made to try and smooth everything out, and this was no exception. This tape, like many recordings Fred did thru the years, was pretty close to perfect already and didn't need much work to make it sound like you were actually there, however the lowest tones of bass and kick drum were a little thin, and upper bass/lower vocal range was a little jumpy. Well that's all fixed now. There is some noise associated with the original tapes (normal bias "low noise" tapes!) but that should not discourage you at all. My copy sounded more pleasing than the originals did, and even more refined when played into the computer for you now. I have chosen to not process the noise out, and leave a little bit of the shit and corruption in. I think the background noise gives this tape life and breath, and removing it would kill the atmosphere it brings. You will get used to it after 5 minutes, and it's not noticeable at all over the music. I have tracked this for CD in the way it was on the master tapes, leaving all sides uncut. Side A is disc 1 (38:39), while sides B and C fit on disc 2 (77:27). I have included scans of my color photocopies of Fred's original master tape covers for you, and a copy of the cover of the 1978 tour book. I have no real artworx for this NEW MASTERPIECE, so if you make some, please post them at TTD in the thread for this bootleg, and also please email me jpegs of your results. My comments : The original flac files were very badly edited, for example Killer Queen & Bicycle Race were in one file, and Brighton Rock was split into 4 different files. I have re-edited it correctly and share it with you here. Also some songs had wrong titles. They are also changed. Tracklisting : CD1 : (38:39) 01. We Will Rock You (fast) 02. Let Me Entertain You 03. Somebody To Love 04. If You Can't Beat 'Em Join 'Em 05. Death On Two Legs 06. Killer Queen 07. Bicycle Race 08. I'm In Love With My Car (medley end) 09. Get Down Make Love 10. You're My Best Friend CD2 : (77:27) 01. Now I'm Here 02. Spread Your Wings 03. Dreamer's Bar 04. Love Of My Life 05. '39 06. It's Late 07. Brighton Rock 08. Fat Bottomed Girls 09. Keep Yourself Alive 10. Bohemian Rhapsody 11. Tie Your Mother Down 12. Sheer Heart Attack 13. We Will Rock You 14. We Are The Champions 15. God Save The Queen Hopefully I've gotten all the song titles right. (No, you didn't :-) ) If I've made mistakes, it's only proof that I'm human. Feel free to post any corrections or additions...

| tcc 07.08.2009 04:39 |
Thanks. I will try again. |
| tcc 10.08.2009 06:37 |
Thanks Olivier and all sharers for sharing this. I could open the files after downloading all of them. The recording is very clear. The performance of Love of My Life is really beautiful. Freddie sang it without audience participation. |

Could anyone re-upload please? Or is the "Canadian Assault" version the same? |
| The Real Wizard 21.09.2011 23:22 |
Canadian Assault has some hiss reduction done, but it really isn't any better. You're best to go for this original version. You can grab it at The Traders' Den too, where it was originally seeded. |

Thank you very much for your share. Can someone made a torrent of this? Thank you |

would anyone be kind enough to upload this to mediafire? Waiting 10 hours for all parts to dl is a bitch :) |

why don't you get a rapidshare account for a month, there are excellent working links! why are some people here so lazy that they expect others do to the work for them! why don't you thank RuthOliver for sharing this great concert and why don't you thank bokkepoot for his re-uploads? Try and find someone who burns it on cd with printed artwork and presented to you on a silver tray instead! (Sharing period of about 3 years and about 5 people who wrote some credids - amazing) |

(Sharing period of about 3 years and about 5 people who wrote some credids - amazing)THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU all better? ;) No I shoulda thanked him. I understand, im on a multitude of boot forums for other groups. I would personally love a RS account for some Oasis dvds im tryin to get, but i dont exactly have the money to squander on such things right now. Im a 16 year old with car payments and college to save for. Plus I drive my band's equipment around so we dont have to pay a roadie at the moment. I completely understand your point and everyone should thank everybody and share. I share if i can, but often others have shared before me or I simply dont have what is needed. Concern for these things is good though :) |

This is a fantastic show overall! It's one of the quintessential 1978 gigs to get! |
