Date: May 12th, 1978 Location: London, UK Venue: Wembley Arena Tour: News Of The World Tour Hello people! After a roller coaster ride of explanations, detective work, messages, and comedy, I have the privilege of posting this uncirculated Queen show publicly for everybody! The story behind this recording isn’t quite as ridiculous as the next night’s recording, but I shall tell it anyway: Earlier in the month, a few random users posted low-quality samples of two performances. One was the fast We Will Rock You, and the other was Bohemian Rhapsody. At the time, the files were given a date of May 7th 1978 (Stafford) and all seemed to end. As the days passed, other comments popped up in private messages about these performances and confusion started when different stories about the recordings turned up. After doing some detective work and cross-checking some information with the person who eventually sent me the most complete copy of the recording, the actual date of May 12th has been confirmed. Despite missing Bohemian Rhapsody, Tie Your Mother Down, and Keep Yourself Alive (along with a few cuts throughout the recording) this recording shouldn’t be passed up. Despite the average quality (and the fact that the quality worsens during the last few songs), the performances are top notch and reflect a band that is totally on fire. Freddie is in excellent shape on this show and gives his all throughout the show. Lineage: AUD > Cassette (x) > AIFF > Speed correction > FLAC (8) > You Setlist: 1. We Will Rock You (Slow/Fast) 2. Brighton Rock 3. Somebody To Love 4. Death On Two Legs 5. Killer Queen 6. Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy 7. I’m In Love With My Car 8. Get Down Make Love 9. The Millionaire Waltz 10. You’re My Best Friend 11. Spread Your Wings 12. It’s Late 13. Now I’m Here 14. Love Of My Life 15. ’39 16. My Melancholy Blues 17. White Man/Improvisation/Guitar Solo/The Prophet’s Song (Reprise) 18.

There seems to be a surge in interest in these final NOTW shows- great! Thanks very much to Gregsynth, the taper, and everyone else involved in this release! |

Wow, thanks a lot! |

Did not see this coming. Great |

Seriously people? Have you forgotten what I posted on a different thread of this forum concerning this VERY SHOW?? So first of all you should thank me as well as I was involved in this "detective work" as well (I posted it under one of the Gary Mullen threads, some of you surely read it). Yes, I did/do have contact to the tape owner(they're even on QZ).Secondly, I don't wanna get in trouble so here is all I will say about it: The starter of this thread should be ashamed. This was almost as bad as the Liverpool '79 drama. I am glad though the show got circulated but I'm not glad about the circumstances. Cheers! |

If you wanted to post the recording, you could have. You have done nothing worthy of thanks. When you do, then people will thank you. Respect is earned. Also - you didn't tape the show, so you have no monopoly over who does what with it. You're just sour grapes because someone with genuine intent released a show while you were useless and did nothing. This is a happy thread. Don't sour it with your petty stupidity. |

Thanks Gregsynth! I always enjoy reading your comments. Keep up the good work! And to the Lemon, you're old news of the world... Nobody (not me anyway) gives a damn... |

I swear that I would do anything to get my hands on new recordings and share them. The only uncirculated show I ever owned was something I had access to for 2 years before it got published. I just wasn't allowed to even talk about it in public and when it got shared, the person who was even less entitled to share it, uploaded it on Queenzone. All the tapers out there should release their stuff without anyone involved. Most of the people who share stuff here are hypocrits. I did a prank with the Lund recording but I would never take all credit for literally hoarding a concert. |

Thanks to shows like this I'm more than ever convinced Queen should do a "soundboards series" type release. With a couple shows released for the fans each year. Hardly any work for them, lots of fun for us... If only they were that kind of band! |

Let people enjoy this new show without putting your (fake) name on it. If you have dirty laundry to air out, do it around people who care. This isn't the place to do it. Who are you with your 46 posts to your name (most of which are trolling) to say who is entitled to do what with a recording, and to judge the character of people who have been active members of this community for years or even decades? You are not as bright, knowledgeable, or well connected as you may think. Just stop now. You are wasting everyone's time with your verbal diarrhea. And thanks for reminding everyone about the Lund incident, furthermore clarifying that you are a useless troll. |
John Lemon 25.05.2018 18:30 |
Throughout my life people have called me many things but "unintelligent" is not among those words. If you're referring to the Lund thing: I'm cery well capable of transferring a tape and operating Audacity. In fact, I dare to claim that most of the people on the forum would even consider me to be a likeable person. Yes, I do have my "connections" in the Queen collecting community - you just don't know have a clue who these connections are. Hopefully, by "verbal diarrhea" you're not referring to my English skills since I am actually proud of the fact that I speak 3 foreign languages, English being one of them. I'm not a troll. The only thing I could trade/sell on here is the original CD copy of Queen's live Aid performance. Would it make you guys happy if I sold/traded that one? Tbh though I would not really like to trade it since the CD was a present from somebody who really important to me. |

John Lemon wrote: I'm cery well capable of transferring a tape and operating Audacity.No doubt you are "cery" capable, with Audacity as your software of choice after transferring a tape. Congratulations - welcome to the audio capabilities of every 14 year old. Just stop it, and let people enjoy this new Queen show. This is not your thread to hijack with your stupidity. If you are more than 14 years old, you should be ashamed of yourself. |

why doesnt GregSynthBootlegs post anymore? |
Mrmarioanonym 25.05.2018 18:39 |
John Lemon, nobody likes you. |
John Lemon 25.05.2018 18:45 |
What I forgot to add was that I dare to claim that most of the people on here would like me/consider me to be likeable IF THEY MET ME IN PERSON. I'm sorry for my typos but atm I'm restricted to typing on my mobile phone which I find to be harder than typing on a computer keyboard. |
John Lemon 25.05.2018 18:50 |
Oh, and I really apprechiate you editing your post, Bob... If you think that a part of your poat is unappropriate/rude - don't post it in the first place! |
The Real Wizard 25.05.2018 18:51 |
John Lemon wrote: What I forgot to add was that I dare to claim that most of the people on here would like me/consider me to be likeable IF THEY MET ME IN PERSON.Pretty much everyone else on this forum is perfectly likeable despite not meeting one another in person. So maybe the problem is just you. Ever thought of that? |
John Lemon 25.05.2018 18:58 |
Or the problem is you guys still being mad at me for the Lund thing and therefore I'll always be the "troll" of this forum no matter what I post here unless it's an uncirculated recording. you're really not as clever/well informed as you think you are. |
John Lemon 25.05.2018 19:46 |
On a different note, how can you be sure that I didn't contact the real taper of the show? |
oliverd05 25.05.2018 19:49 |
Cheers for the show Greg and everyone involved, it’s great to here new shows! And as for Lemon you say we’re all not as well informed as we think we are...well okay why not prove to us that your more informed than we think?? I would happily admit I’m not as well informed and got connections than I would like, i got the balls to admit it, however clearly a group of guys and girls on here are well informed and do have connections otherwise nothing new and exciting would ever come out |

"Or the problem is you guys still being mad at me for the Lund thing and therefore I'll always be the "troll" of this forum" First impressions are important! |

I agree but first impressions can also be misleading. |

I love Hall & Oates ... "He's gone. Oh I, I don't know how to take it. What went wrong?" Did someone resume cyber stalking despite repeated stern, but polite warnings to desist? |

No wonder NOTW Tour is considered by many fans the best tour Queen have ever done. I think my favourite performance of LOML is here now. |

I don't know what's the catch with these royal tapers but certainly record quality was the least of their concerns. Maybe the thrill of not getting caught was enough for them. Something they were already used to from the public lavatories. |
Barry Durex 03.06.2018 09:55 |
Bit nasty, is that because you got caught at the glory hole? |
