Here i uploaded a file with all the samples from both gigs at the Rainbow for those who haven't iTunes: https://www.mediafire.com/?lmgpciqxp62z378 Glad to hear Great King Rat, White Queen and Fairy Feller's from March Rainbow! The quality is SUPERB. Hands down, the greatest release ever. |

Thanks dude! |

Thanks. I hate Apple crapware. I purchased the hard copy Deluxe edition from Amazon.com a few minutes ago. |

Thanks! I hate Apple. |

Thanks for this. Looking forward to Sept. I am greedy now - what will they do for November ? |
| pittrek 01.08.2014 00:56 |
Thanks a lot! I hate Apple software, why can't they upload this to their own e-shop? |

Wow this is indeed the best ever Queen package since a long time. 2 remarks : 1 Ogre Battle 31-03 : please notice they removed the feedback from the guitar in the begining of this song. This is very clear on the bootlegs (and ear piercing anytime ....) 2 To my ears these are 2 different types of recording / mixing/ multitracking etc. am I the only which prefers the sound quality of 31-03 way above the november 20 th ? |

Great, thanks! EDIT: Indeed, the best mix is the March one |
| inu-liger 01.08.2014 06:11 |
Yeah the March recording is incredibly crisp sounding compared to the November recording(s). |

A theory is that they videotaped Son and Daughter and Modern Times Rock 'N' Roll for promotional use to be shown on TV for the originally planned release of the live album. |

Thanks for uploading the samples to Mediafire. Harmonies in "In the lap of the gods (revisited...)" are spot on ! |
| Rick 01.08.2014 10:08 |
I love how Freddie tries to hit the high notes in White Queen (March show). He does a fantastic job! |
| cmi 01.08.2014 11:41 |
THanks a lot for all samples. 45 minutes of Queen live 1974 in superb quality! |

JackTorrance wrote:Probably yes. Those where the only songs they could find for this release. I believe that they recorded the full concert on video, and edited these three songs for TV shows to promote the live album- Several televisions around te world have these videos, and that means that they have droped the live album very near it's release. Why? i don't know.inu-liger wrote: Yeah the March recording is incredibly crisp sounding compared to the November recording(s).Thanks!!!! Sounds great! Awesome release.

But in the end i think that the complete show was filmed, and had they found it, this release would be a different story, because for me the March show is the star of this release.

Listened to these samples 3 times already. I'm ready for the release. Can't wait to be honest. Been a long time since I was so looking forward to a Queen release / queen related event. |

Thanks a lot! I synced pieces of the concert video to the previews for my own enjoyment, https://mega.co.nz/#!bJJHiKYY!NUmgeWqKcGKxm0Q4uf51qermwdrD6pXzQRukb3bGp9Q (for anyone interested), and it's evident that most of the lead vocals in the upcoming release are indeed live! It seems that more than half the lead vocals on the old vhs were overdubbed. A great example of this is "Wanna try?" in Killer Queen in the first seconds of the preview. Most of the backing vocals seems to be overdubbed still though. |

Thanks for doing the synch work. It's wonderful to see how passionate (and quick) Queen fans can be in times like this ! |

Don't think so Bob. GT played some footage from the first night of Rainbow at Breakthru 2011, they have video from both nights. |

Thanks for doing the synch work. It's wonderful to see how passionate (and quick) Queen fans can be in times like this ! I think the lead vocals where studio overdubbed. The previews of White Queen, for example, shows that Freddie was slightly out of tune at times and his voice cracked a bit. These are typical reasons for overdubbing. The last part of Jailhouse Rock is not from the same show in the preview as in the vhs (but the first part is). In all other parts of the show, at least the instruments match audio wise. I would presume that the video on the vhs is from the other night at the end of the song. |

Has anyone noticed the difference in Freddie's vocals from the bootlegs to the new mix in Modern Times Rock 'N' Roll? They sound very different. I've mixed both the bootleg mix and the new mix to the video in an .mkv file - it sounds like AT LEAST the choruses were overdubbed on the lead vocals. https://mega.co.nz/#!FElzmTjb!6o38k5ejUMSXsIsC00cVzo_wZQvm48ArDReEVgbQaWk |
| The Real Wizard 10.08.2014 02:23 |
Thanks for that. Of course it's hard to tell which one has been overdubbed, since we don't have an audience tape or a raw board recording to compare it to. But using Montreal 81 as a template, I'd say the newer version isn't overdubbed. On the old We Will Rock You VHS/DVD there were lead vocals that were overdubbed, and on Queen Rock Montreal these spots suddenly matched the audience tape. They elected to stick with the original vocal much more. |

Reminds also of Hungarian Rhapsody's Under Pressure. http://youtu.be/tV_QFo9FCvs?t=1m53s I sort of wish they left in that high note overdub though :P |

It's a pity they still don't understand there's a huge number of fans who want a recording of EXACTLY what happened on that night (no cuts, no overdubs etc). |

On the old We Will Rock You VHS/DVD there were lead vocals that were overdubbed, and on Queen Rock Montreal these spots suddenly matched the audience tape. They elected to stick with the original vocal much more. When listening to the bootleg mix, I faintly hear a 2nd lead vocal from Freddie, lying underneath the main one. It might be something technical, or it could be the original vocal. Just to make sure everyone knows this: Audio track 1 is the bootleg one, whilst track 2 is the new mix from the iTunes sample. |
| Nitroboy 10.08.2014 14:29 |
On second thoughts, it might simply be reverb that I'm hearing on the bootleg recording. One thing that I am certain of is that the 1st chorus has an overdubbed Freddie, which they have now removed. |
| Oscar J 10.08.2014 14:39 |
I like overdubs. I listen to the concerts mainly to enjoy the music, and if some fattened up harmonies or pitch corrected vocals in the ending of March's version of Seven Seas Of Rhye make the listening experience better, then that's fine with me. All I demand is that it's done with some moderation - it's when it gets too obvious it gets a bit disturbing. |
| Nitroboy 10.08.2014 14:58 |
I'm not talking about Seven Seas of Rhye though :)

Also, just compare the audio of the old Son And Daughter footage to any of the later bootleg material and you can clearly hear what was overdubbed. The TV footage is the raw audio. |
