I was thinking exactly the same thing. I hope the current pollster doesn't receive the same warm response from Brian May that was directed at Mr. Allred.

Houston cannot be proven to be a "flat" audience. The audience wasn't mic'd, as on most raw soundboard recordings. Almost every Led Zeppelin soundboard recording is like this. Does that mean 30+ concerts all had quiet audiences? No. The only things picking up the audience were Robert Plant's mic, and the drum mics. Yeah, I'd say we remove Tokyo 82 and 85 from the poll, and add Earls Court 77 and Paris 79. Is such a thing possible, or would you have to start a new poll? Houston should be taken out of the poll too, because it will never be released. The truth that will never be publically admitted is that Brian would never be satisfied releasing this show, because he made so many mistakes on the guitar. Well, unless of course, he took audio from multi-tracks of other shows and patched things up. But again, there is no guarantee that they own a multi-tracked Houston, or any of those concerts in the poll, except for Tokyo 82 and Budapest 86.

Hahahahaha. Actually, I've had a bit of Brian's "warm responses" quite a while ago before, so the joke's on you :P

I heard the de-audienced version of Elton's 1986 'Candle in the Wind' and it was very boring without the crowd. But that was special. :-P

during the earls court freddie had mic problems...it's been already talked about,before MK was realesed. btw,i voted rainbow'74,but i'd like also Hammersmith 1975,or Budapest 1986,Budapest was filmed in film,not tape like wembley or MK..i think it would be great seeing that film re-mastered...also brian sayd that maybe could be realesed just because of that...and so many extras to put in (the cutin's during the concert) and the one's left behind..

Actually, Hyde Park was a great concert. The sound on the soundboard recording is just horribly mixed. I've heard an audience recording of the show, and the band sound great, although the recording's quality itself isn't great. I'd be very happy to see Hyde Park released, but I don't think the master tape is the greatest condition. Track down the QTV version on DVD (if you already haven't), as that's probably the best you'll find for this show.

yes... but the problem during the guitar solo is one thing,and freddie's mic problem it's other...during some songs (don't remember how many,but at least 3 or 4) you CAN'T hear freddie singing.
