Taken from link This is an alternate source from the one that has previously circulated, and it's a much better recording. Recording and notes by Rober953 @ dimeadozen Queen Japan Tour '79 - April 28, 1979 Nagoya LINEAGE> TCM-100B > Cassette > PCM-D1 > Samplitude > FLAC This is an evening of Queen's 3rd Japan concert tour by original master cassette. This concert in Nagoya is nearly end of the tour at that time. The venue was moved to port area (sparse zone) that time from central city (close to castle) at previous time ('76). This complete show recording was made from a pair of mono cassette tape recorders. The left channel is definitly recorded by TCM-100B. I am not sure right now for right channel. I had two TCM-100B but this might be TC-1100 because the tape speed was too unstable. I use left channel to rule and stretched right source to match both. I found that the value for tape top is 0.9676(WWRY) and bottom is 0.95855(GDML), then 0.9581(YMBF) and 0.9616(NIH), and the last is 0.954(GSTQ). I found that the tape top of right source(TCM-100B) is slightly fast (recorded slowly) than end, so I made tone down to Now I'm Here and Brighton Rock little bit. If you feel that this recording has not proper tone, that is true. You can easy to correct to your comfortable tone by Audacity, it's free and very nice tool. Have fun! Cheers, Robert PS. I do not intend to let everyone to use Audacity tool. I am very happy to current file's tone. I feel that this tone is a slight high but time fly 31 years. Everything changed to speedy than 31 years ago. I feel this tone is modern tone and original tone is often unacceptable for modern people. Hope you enjoy! Isshoni Utatte Kudasai:-) 1.

Thansks so much Marknow for sharing here in this comunnity !!! Good news, from masters !! I like it !! ;) |
| pittrek 21.05.2010 01:14 |
Will somebody fix the speed ? I'd do it myself if I had time for it. EDIT : It looks like only WWRY needs to be slowed down a bit |
| CERATOPHRYS 21.05.2010 02:25 |
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! |

I'm very very happy with this recording! What a gorgeous version of LOML. The audience was listening very quietly... That says something about the incredible talents of our boys (in this case Brian and Freddie). I really like this concert. |

pittrek wrote: "It looks like only WWRY needs to be slowed down a bit" Some of you guys are going to hate me for this, but it sounds like it's too fast because Freddie sings the first verse of WWRY sharp. He didn't have perfect pitch, and there was no instrumentation to give him the key - so this happened at many shows. Just like some of the Mustapha intros he did throughout the years... he was often flat. Other than his throat nodes causing him instability from tour to tour (like this one here), I really can't think of any other musical flaw of his. He was otherwise damn near perfect. |
| pittrek 21.05.2010 09:32 |
No, it's definitely too fast, no doubt about it. If you don't trust me, compare the backing track with the album version |
| The Real Wizard 21.05.2010 12:43 |
It's possible that the tape played slightly too fast at the shows, as Queen were no strangers to upping the tempo of their songs live. Either way, the speed difference is very minimal and I don't think it merits being corrected. But of course, feel free to do what you'd like. |

Thanks Marknow for uploading this new master tape source here from Dime. |

This is a fixed copy of It's Late: link It's the only track that needed some work to be done on it. The two channels each had a different pitch (but ran at the same speed), so I corrected the left channel which was about a quarter tone too low. One of the tapes was presumably flipped near the end of the song, so that part remains mono - but I brought up the pitch of that section because it was the slower of the two channels. |
