Is this the calm after the storm? There’s been so many nice new shares recently that I’d like to bring another great concert to QZ that shouldn’t be missed.
I was never very much into Roger’s solo stuff but this little gig is great. Found on the Queen hub, credits go to Desert Rat and Marcoekelo, no idea who shared this one originally, but thanks to who it may concern

Comments:
The premiere of the Electric Fire tour. This show was at Roger's home for a small audience and was broadcasted live on the internet. At that time, he made a record with the most viewers online for a concert.
The concert itself is very good! Roger has a strong voice. A rare live rendition of 'People on streets'. Of course there are some Queen bits in the setlist :-)
Remastering:
Removed two small gaps between tracks.

Track No.9 is missing in the torrent: link
it's not a vhs rip but recorded from the free internet broadcast... do we have any moderators here that can clarify?
the wembley concerts have been shared here a few weeks ago though they were released officially, some tv broadcast recordings of the Kharkov concert have been shared as well. Or the days of our lives bbc broadcast.
Anyway I have to admit that I didn't realise it was the Cyberbarn gig... I'll stop seeding as long as one of the fellow queenzoners clarifys this...
The concert (or the tracks at least) WERE released officially to buy after the event, but only as internet downloads.
There was never a physical release.
That's why a stereo soundboard recording exists.
But what the hell I say.
It's not like you can still get it.
Official or not, thank you very much! I love Roger's solo stuff, and somehow completely missed this one. Amazing performance!
But Track 9 (TATDOOL) is missing?
Would anybody be so kind to send me a pm how to get the video please?

Right. It's not the same product, that vhs video tape shows just pieces of every song with many interviews and the world record celebration in the middle.

The files are flac, but I doubt the internet broadcast was. Is this an MP3 to FLAC conversion? I'd rather it had been left as the original MP3 if that's the case, but that's more a note for the future. Too late to do anything about it now.
Thanks for the share, I'm really into Roger's stuff and am downloading the torrent.

don't worry, torrents on QZ die anyway within a few weeks if not permantly seeded by the topic starter!
Depends. I'm seeding about a dozen QZ torrents and I didn't start any of them. But then only about 4 of them are ever downloaded from me anyway (2005 and 2008 fan club MP3s, Pittrek Best of the Best, and Kharkov). So are the rest of those torrents dead or not if I'm seeding them but no-one ever downloads them? Philosophical point, discuss :-).

The internet broadcast was a realvideo stream, there was apparently a bootleg dvd conversion. Somebody on QZ probably captured the original stream but I have yet to see it.
