Yes, I know I may be a bit of a weirdo, but we're all Queen fans and we've got to stick together.
Inspired by the BitTorrent threads in the Sharing The Music forum, I would like to release some of my 'rarities' to you. Unfortunately, I can't give you the two missing Queen II songs or the Game Volume II yet, but I can give you the following widely-traded files....
1974 Rainbow Theatre, London (45 minutes)
1976 Hyde Park Free Concert, London (around 75 minutes)
1979 Concert for Kampuchea, (London) (includes different video versions for Another One Bites The Dust and Flash)
1982 Live In Japan (25 minutes)
1986 Live In Budapest, Hungary (1hr 15m - not the VHS version).
First one to reach 10 votes will be shared via BitTorrent. Enjoy!
PS. Once a winner is announced, one of you kind people will have to tell me how to share a file via BitTorrent.
If you've got a decent audio version of "Hyde Park 1976" it wouldn't be bad for me...
Surely not one of their best performances, but I'd like to have it anyway...

First you talk about your two extra Queen II tracks, and now you're offering the Rainbow video? That's hilarious!
Nonetheless, a generous offer. I'd pick Hyde Park, as long as it's a decent version. I don't think the QTV version has spread well.
Good choices - Hyde Park and the Kampuchea concert are excellent.
Afraid I don't actually have an audio version of Hyde Park, decent or otherwise.
As for The Game Volume II and the full 13-track version of Queen II, Brian has said I can't share them.
Rather than first to ten, I am away on holiday from Thursday to Sunday, so whatever has the biggest number of votes wins.
To the poster who wanted rarer files, afraid I can only share the stuff that is genuinely widely traded. I would love to share the alternative version of Bohemian Rhapsody with a reggae section and not an opera section, but Brian would have me shot.
I wanted to share with you the alternative version of God Saves The Queen with vocals by John but he wasn't satisfied of his vocals.
And for the 4'39 version of "New York New York" sung by Freddie, I can't remember where i put this CD.
And for the Hangman studio recording, Brian would have killed me if i share it.
But for the last performance of Freddie on April the 14th 1988, if anyone want it, Dave Clark told me that it's OK; so if you want it, just leave me a message.
Bye
hyde park’76 the QTV version.
it’s a great concert from 30 years ago.
queen productions should bring this officially
on the market around the world.
it’s a shame that the world can’t see the gig.
