LOL
It does look better with the interlaced video feel! ;-)
Awesome job.
Wish there was a template you could publish that we could all apply to our own files to clean them up and then share here!
Thank you very much, I do feel compelled to add a little bit about the concert.As evidenced from the RTE report it was intermittently wet and it was also warm. Thousands of people overwhelmed the security and entered without tickets, I still have my complete ticket, no-one even asked to see my ticket. Slane is a very long walk from the car park, bus stop and there was an inordinate amount of alcohol consumed, even by Irish standards!
I was down the front and managed to keep my footing until Brian's guitar solo, it was evident that the band were not happy with the crowd. There was a constant barrage of plastic bottles, items of clothing etc. Although I concur a little with some of the critics, why oh why did Queen include that acoustic medley, it was terrible?
Overall in the adverse conditions i.e. out of control, totally oversized drunken audience, violence, injuries, vandalism Queen managed well. They were much, much better in Dublin in 1984, but perhaps had not planned for the chaos that was Slane.The total daylight show without the assistance of the light show was likely another factor
I also saw Guns n Roses there in 1992, that was another drunken debacle, although being 3 hours late on stage added to that one.
An amusing aisde is that I bought the tape of the show in Slane village the next morning following Queen 06/07/1986, a guy named Andy transferred this for me around 10 years ago and did not return the cassettes. This is the superior source now making up most of the bootlegs, Bob cleaned up my version transferred from the original source and shared here. I also shared the most popular photos of Queen also circulating.
The ironic thing is that I bought the Uxbridge bootleg, the irony being that this mostly consists of the source from my own old cassette.

The entire tour was pretty much the same set and the band exceptionally professional so I just can't believe there was much variation between performances throughout the tour. Clips I have heard seem fairly consistent. Slane can't be much different from Budapest Wembley or Knebworth.
So is the problem the logistics of the location? Are critics mingling in general crowd perception with their own evaluation of the music?
Or do the Irish music critics hate Queen and love U2 and Springsteen. Much like the redneck outposts of America and Australia
