In Flash's defense, the search button doesn't work worth crap and instead of being pricks, why not just answer the guy's question? I just asked a member of another band's site a similar question and instead of giving me attitude, he offered to send me copies of his favorite live recordings. We're all Queen fans here!

Hmm, are there really people like that in the world? :) Just kidding. There are nice people on this site too, people who would help if you're in trouble, I know some of them, they helped me a lot. Wait a little bit and you'll get in touch with them.
Btw, I'm sorry I can't help you on this one (c'mon, has nobody had the sense to answer the question by now?), I just started downloading my first torrent and don't know many. I think Hammersmith Odeon'75 is however very good quality.
thanx boy of destiny, thomas quinn and brian may1975-
for your positive comments etc,,
i was asking b/c ive just d/loaded the knebworth concert and was wondering if there was any better quality bootlegs..
cheers guys
You should get the show from the rainbow in 74, soundboard and a amazin performance by the whole band, also the Kampuchea show, a very good audience recordin and with one of the best freddie performance, mmm check the Zoom Shows from japan, sounds very good
Soundboards theres a lot, check Earls Court, Brasil and the SHOW from Argentina :=)
cheers guys!!
i'll try and look for possibly one of the soundboard gigs first.
ive got milan (the jewels) 2cd from 84,
also the carriage of mystery 86-mannhiem.
also golden demos 73-76.
i bought those from a record fare a few years ago.
and queen covering(if i can find the damn cd)

I have quite a few really good ones. I think that earl's court '77 is a really good quality video.
I personally don't consider Earls Court, Hammersmith 75 or 79 or any of those professionally recorded shows bootlegs. The best ones I've been listening to lately are Montreal, Toronto and Chicago from December of 78. Killer recordings!!! I saw them a few weeks earlier in Providence, RI here in the States and it was early in the tour but they were fantastic. BUT, listening to those three shows, you can tell they were really in the swing of things at that point in the tour. They were too hot to handle. I think their sound engineer Trip Khalef may have recorded the Montreal show. It has a soundboard quality to it.

Absolutely agree. Unwarranted response to a perfectly reasonable question. If you use the search button you get lots of fragmented info and a couple of similar threads which are fairly old. In the meantime lots more people have joined, with fresh views and opinions. Encouraging sensible posts and making 'newbies' welcome is the way forward (re: Fatties and others' posts).
After all it's quicker to post 'my favourite's Hammersmith '79' than it is to post 'why don't you try using the search button instead of wasting my time'.
If you're the type who gets more satisfaction from the second example above than the first, then I would suggest that you are part of the problem not the solution.
( By the way, i'm glad to see that 'boy of destinys'' rebuke solicited some helpful responses and apologise in advance for taking this thread back off line)
Oh, and my favourite is Hammersmith Odeon, Boxing Day 1979, 'cos I was there !
There are a lot of great bootz. As someone said. Dec 78 has a lot of great bootz. Frankfurt 82 is good too. Here are some to look after.
26/12-75, 29/3-76, copenhagen 77, stockholm vienna 78, Zoom 79, newcastle 79, oakland 80 london 8/12-80, 1/3-81, there are really alot of them.....
