Hello City-in-the-Sun, amazing news, thanks so much for this. |
| Saint Jiub 10.03.2015 19:33 |
Thanks Anthony. Other than Boston 76, and Sun City 84, I have not downloaded anything since 2009. I think this will break my download drought. |
| Mr.QueenFan 10.03.2015 20:22 |
Great news! Thank you. |

Great and exciting news! |
| on my way up 11.03.2015 06:20 |
Wow! Thanks so much... I've been looking forward to part 2 ever since I played part 1 about 100 times (in a row :-) ) This will probably turn out to be my favourite recording from the 84-86 era :-) |
| ParisNair 11.03.2015 06:32 |
Wow....for real? Thanks for the great news, Anthony. This time, can you make a proper FLAC transfer please? And do the same for part 1 as well, while you are at it? Hope that is possible. |
| Queenman!! 11.03.2015 06:47 |

So sorry to hear that you've had some very difficult moments in recent years. I now fully understand that sharing part 2 of the Sun City recording wasn't something that kept you busy at such difficult times... Some things in life are just more important. I'm very happy that - now that you're better - you feel like sharing the second part. It means a lot to us... cheers |
| City-in-the-Sun 11.03.2015 10:30 |
Thank you , im struggling to upload it , its still busy , it failed once any idears 53mb mp3 ? |
| Chief Mouse 11.03.2015 10:36 |

You could upload it on Mega - https://mega.co.nz/#fm You'd need to make an account for that though. But as far as I'm aware, right now it's the best file hosting site, with best speeds. You get 50 GB space on free account. Once again, thanks a lot for this! It means a lot to many fans around here. |
| ParisNair 11.03.2015 10:43 |
Which site are u trying to upload to? |
| Ale Solan 11.03.2015 10:46 |
I understand your situation, Anthony, that explain the hiatus on your sharing here, I'm really glad that you're feeling better, thanks again to you and Wendy ;) |
| City-in-the-Sun 11.03.2015 10:54 |
Tried queenzone twice , but failed , now trying link ,,,,76% complete now im getting excited to lol , hope i know how to post the link . |

That is all :-) Then you can paste the link. |
| ParisNair 11.03.2015 10:59 |
OK nice, if mega worked for you. Hope you don't need it, but if you do, go4up.com should do the job as well. It uploads files to multiple filesharing sites at once. |
| Ale Solan 11.03.2015 11:03 |
Mega it's the best option so far. |
| akan 11.03.2015 12:30 |
I'm sorry for your personal trouble in the past, hope you'll get better and better :) Thanks for sharing the show |
| The Real Wizard 11.03.2015 12:41 |
If mega doesn't work, you can try link as well. |
| City-in-the-Sun 11.03.2015 13:18 |
Hi Guys , been trying now for 3 hours to upload this mp3 , tried the sites you all said , no luck , im not ultra computer savy , but have never struggled to upload a file , could the Boss of this site send me an email and i will send it to him via my email and he/she can post it for me , this is doing my head in . thanks zongied@gmail.com |
| Ale Solan 11.03.2015 13:20 |
How strange, still you'll need to upload the file somewhere to send it by email. Please try Mediafire... or maybe you're having probs with your internet service provider. |

When you upload the file, you also need to include your own email address. After that you check your email, as they have emailed you the link. Copy/paste the link in here. Done and done. |

Thanks to Anthony, here is the second part : link |
| The Real Wizard 11.03.2015 13:53 |
Fantastico !! Thanks to everyone involved in getting this out. |
| gagabo2 11.03.2015 14:17 |
Thanks alot to Anthony and Wendy :) Listening to it now. |
| JackTorrance 11.03.2015 14:31 |
Wow! Thanks! Love Freddie's falsetto's during Hammer To Fall. Maybe the best version after Live Aid? |
| Tim June 11.03.2015 14:36 |
Unbelieveable! Thank you very much for sharing this recording. All the best for you! :0) |

Thank you Anthony and Pittrek for this sharing^^
Anthony, I'm sorry about your terrible loss. I hope you'll still find joys in life somehow. Hang on here with us :-)

Great share, thank you! I didn't think we would ever see the second part. I'm glad you proved me wrong! |
| Rick 11.03.2015 15:59 |
Cheers mate! This is how it should be done! |
| Ale Solan 11.03.2015 16:31 |
When I'm done with a couple of projects involving sharing new stuff here at Queenzone, I'll create a new share including both parts, cut onto tracks and a little edit if necessary. |
| MercurialFreddie 11.03.2015 16:44 |
Thank you very much for sharing the second part.... BTW Greg, we have a candidate for top 5 or even the best live version of BoRhap from 1984. He really went for it, and that studio phrasing.... I love it ! I've heard that there are some clicks on the speed corrected version and also a few places where tape seems to "stop", can it be repaired ? |
| Gregsynth 11.03.2015 16:45 |
This wild-card Sun City thing has blown my brain to smithereens! Currently listening through this: Another One Bites The Dust was fantastic - definitely one of the best on the tour, Hammer To Fall is fucking ridiculous (THAT BRIDGE!!!!!!!!!!)! |

| MercurialFreddie 11.03.2015 16:55 |
This Sun City is a pure gem ! Why the heck won't they officially release it... they were in brilliant form and gave it all that night... I know that this is "another 80's show" but instead of releasing wembley for the nth time it would be awesome to release that recording. On the other hand Greg has already confirmed sth as tremendous as the Rainbow release so we will get another 70's gig which is a nice thought and I wonder if they'll announce it before or after holidays. |

I suspect that choosing to release an apartheid-era show from Sun City would be more likely to get them negative publicity all over again. Even after 30 years. |
| Sam99 11.03.2015 18:23 |
Just Wow, this is such good news. Thanks to Anthony and Wendy and to everyone that helped here. |

MercurialFreddie wrote: This Sun City is a pure gem ! Why the heck won't they officially release it...I think they'd rather leave the controversial fact that they played there in the past - releasing the concert recording would be the biggest way they could bring it back into the spotlight, despite it being an excellent show in itself. |
| thomasquinn 32989 12.03.2015 08:44 |
Wonderful recording, thanks so much! By the way - is it just me, or is Roger *really* off-key with his backing vocals in Hammer To Fall? |

Ale Solan wrote: Here you have more examples of bad publicity: Queen + Paul Rodgers Queen + Adam Lambert Queen Forever 2011 Remasters including just one or two "real" rarities per album and so...Like them or not - Q+AL has not been bad publicity. For the first time in their career, they have gotten consistently good reviews. Queen's music is more respected now in the press than it ever has been, and the last year of touring has definitely been a contributing factor. |

Does Freddie hit the Bb4's in borap or is the tape to fast there? |
| Gregsynth 12.03.2015 12:32 |
He indeed hits those high notes! |
| egaro 12.03.2015 13:10 |
Almost sounds like the album phrasing, maybe we were wrong about Live Aid being the first time he did it :O |
| pittrek 12.03.2015 14:30 |
The tape plays a bit faster indeed |

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that less people saw that as a problem than thought nationalised racism was generally not the preferred choice, but whatever makes you think you're sticking it to the (QPL) man.... |

It aches me if this show won't be released due to the controversial politics. I grew up in a country behind the Iron Curtain (not really, because it's not in Europe), and let me say, the backlash at Queen is hypocritical. The policy of isolationising and punishing doesn't help anybody, it's just an ego-showoff between governments, in the end the people are the ones who suffer. I would love me some Queen concerts if they were able to come to my country in the 80s. During the interview with Roger and Brian included in the recent Sun City mp3, Queen made their point of view very clearly: they came there for the music, for the people (of all colours). Some QZer reported that they gave out free tickets to the poor black audience who couldn't afford it otherwise. Isn't it nice? And when you listen to the gig, you can feel that they were really rocking, really connecting to the audience. It is a beautiful thing that those armchair critics can't touch. Also, both Brian and Roger said that people couldn't understand what Sun City was like if they were NOT there. Absolutely true. To help someone wouldn't it be better going there and actually seeing his/her state? I totally agree when they said the band wouldn't do the easy way of "apologise for having come there". Nothing to apologise. Roger's answers were spontaneous and passionate, while Brian's were very thoughtful. It's one of my favorite Queen's interviews. Really, everything is there, the press only have to listen to it to see the point, but of course the press prefer to jump down their throat without listening to them. I can't imagine that in 2008 The Guardian still wrote an article slagging Queen off about it. They wondered how could they play for Mandela. Well, excuse us but if Mandela himself didn't have a problem with that then why should you Guardian? If an organisation decides to boycott South Africa and think it helps, fine, do it, just don't force others to follow your judgement. We could hear the pain and the regret in Roger and Brian's voice during the interview. They insisted that they would not come back to Sun City. Who benefit from that fact, really? Music lovers, and the people, certainly not. So, thank you Anthony, for kicking down some barrier, and bring back a wonderful concert to us ^^ |
| Mr.QueenFan 15.03.2015 17:40 |
