info:
The album “THE GAME” and the single “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” also ranked first in the US, and in 1980 QUEEN who was extremely prosperous. Traditional recording that recorded such a scene is an upgrade with New Master.
That traditional recording is “December 8, 1980 London performances”. It is a superb audience recording that inhaled the whole of the venue “Wembley Arena”. There is a staff member of this prestigious “Kinnie” at this show, and its extraordinary recording has been loved as a masterpiece of 1980 since ancient times. Although this work is also the same Kinnie recording, it is a new master with a good sound better than the previous one. Before the critical upgrade for the first time, the position of the show. Let’s check from the whole view of “THE GAME TOUR 1980-1981”. link
Hi Folks,
I sincerely don't intend to shade the efforts of bootLuca for kindly uploading this show (which is undoubtedly my favourite Queen bootleg ever) but there is a helluva lot of hiss in the background. Check out Freddie's spoken 'Save Me' introduction for an example.
I wanted to double check that my ears weren't deceiving me and I went back to what I consider to be the best version I have. There is no hiss present and it's night and day.
I uploaded a transfer of my 'Flash Alive' LP some years back which was quite nice but I screwed up the track numbers at the beginning of the show. I have since acquired a version of this show in FLAC which I consider to be the best version I have had the pleasure to hear. Again, it's a vinyl transfer but it's really nice. It's not split and it's just one file for each LP
I don't have the time to put a torrent together (I've forgotten how to do it anyway!) but I will happily provide this to anybody that wishes to work on it and make it available as a torrent on QZ.
What a corker of a show and it includes my favourite ever rendition of 'Save Me'. Just shout out and I'll get this to the chosen surrogate!
Best Wishes,
Keith.
P.S. I wonder where the master cassettes are now? I was led to believe that it might have been one of 'Big Dave's' (I may have the name wrong) that used to record a lot of shows in and around the London area back in the day. The recording is quite remarkable, give the acoustics of 'The Empire Pool' back in '80. I understand that 'Flash Alive' was a Japanese production and it came out shortly after the event so he obviously had contacts in the and of the rising sun.
