Queen
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Barra da Tijuca
January 19, 1985
By request !
This is the Rio audience tape in the best possible quality. Another version was shared on Queenzone in 2009, but it's from a much higher generation copy tape, and has a few more cuts. This copy is actually from two different tape transfers, as disc 2 is noticeably better quality (although with a bit of tape hiss).
Disc 1 was from an awful 1990s CDR where someone created a bunch of clicks at the beginning of every track (and some tracks had a quarter second of cut and repeat), all of which has been carefully fixed. I also converted both discs to mono because the right channel was a bit worse than the left, and had more tape hiss (the recording itself is mono anyway, so no harm done).
This is Queen's last performance in South America, and it's well worth hearing from the audience's perspective.

Not something I'd download to keep in the collection, but still thank you for all the effort. Very much appreciated.
Definitely for completists, this one. Not everything can be Boston 76, unfortunately !
I wish there was a good audience tape of the first night. They played really well.
