Comments:
This is the beginning of The Works tour. This wasn't their best tour. Roger had a shit drum sound and Freddie struggeled a lot with his voice during the tour. However, this is their first and one of their best (if not the best) shows of this tour. Great atmosphere, great performances of songs like 'It's a hard life'. There's a small cut in the beginning of 'Killer queen' and there seems to be a (very) small cut between 'Staying power' and 'Dragon attack'. Enjoy! Cheers, Tim (Epic Dreams)

If you have a trade copy of this concert already you dont need this.

I transfered the tape to my pc using Eac and did some slight deesser with nero wave editor.

this is insaaaaaane !!! :)
tks !!!!

Cheers, Marco! Another great upload :)

V.

Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much!!!!! Very interesting !
 Sad thing is high generation recordings of first 2 nights in Birmingham. .Just wish a little bit better quality ones,because performances are so great...

This concert was originally scheduled for the 11th but actually played on the 10th so the correct date should be 1984-09-10. Interestingly enough, the early tickets still list the date as the 11th but the later tickets list it as the 10th.

Has trabajado duro, muchas gracias por tu esfuerzo en tus recopilaciones que has realizado. Un aplauso para ti.

---------------------------------------------------------

You have worked hard, thank you very much for your effort in your summaries that you have realized. A plaudit for you.[img=/images/smiley/msn/angel_smile.gif][/img]

STOP!!!!!

Please don't add anymore years for at least a week because I haven't got enough room on my hard drive (I use a laptop) to even add this one yet!
It also means I won't be doing much seeding!

Thanks bokkepoot.
I think this is the best way to obtain a complete archive of the best sounding versions.
I can see I'm going to have to check them against all my old cassettes (which are now on CD) to determine if any of mine are better quality and then upload any that are....

same problem to me. please upload this song

Well for some reason, I thought Dortmund was never recorded.
Proved wrong, yet again.
Thanks for putting this out there.

I got the same problem. GKR is not the correct size. Any help with this would be great.
Thank you.

Thank you very much, especially for Dortmund - I've been there! Dortmund 84 and Cologne 86, damn it's so long ago...

Nope, it's from the LP again... a great copy.

Absolutely... this is from the Not Fade Away (Gypsy Eye) silvers.

So, "silvers (x)" is the best we can do for the lineage.

The are SBEs, but I don't know if they're on the silvers or if it's a bad rip.  My CDR copy has them too.

And Stone Cold Crazy. VLC jumps right over it. Tusen  takk!

Sector boundary error... which creates a little click between tracks when it's not ripped or burned to be an exact copy of the original.

Any burn or rip can result in SBEs.  As long as a computer is used to do the job, no bootleg label or collector is immune to SBEs unless they use the right software and settings.

I would be very very happy if you could upload directly from the silvers! [img=/images/smiley/msn/regular_smile.gif][/img]

also from Dortumund? in that case I'll upload my track which it's okay.

Thank you very much to both of you!!

There are problems with London 4.9.84... machines, tear it up and jailhouse rock are damaged (not complete) and I don't know if other tracks too.

Great King Rat seems to be the big problem here. It's broken in Munic 16-09 too,It was not shared in Ginger's torrent nor in Pittrek's "Best of the Best".And the one shared now is incomplete. If anybody has it, please share .

And according to Queenlive.ca. Frankfurt 84 misses Radio Ga Ga. Anyone? Thanx!!!!!!

Is there anyone having the same problem as me???
From Dortmund concert it says Keyboard Solo lasts 3:50 but at 2:13 stops playing
From Vienna 30/9 Machine Intro says it lasts 2:03 but it stops at 1.39!!!

I remember being decompressing the rar files while I was doing some other works in my computer, can it be that???
Please someone respond to this, so I can star downloading the files again
Thanks in advance!!!

Here is your wanted reply.....

Some of the shows are coming from a good friend of mine. These shows are burned on CD-recordables which are in some cases more than 10 years old.
Quality of these CD-recordables are not always good. That's why there are some little songs of 1.5 kb (EAC can't repair them) and I forgot to remove those files.

I'm sharing what I have.
Most of the concerts are okay, some are not.

My wish is that somebody of you all has a good and complete recording of these "damaged" shows.
It's also kind of a "trick" to share what I have, to get a good and complete recording back from somebody else.
As you can read.....it works in some cases.

I will continue soon with 1982 megatorrent.
Maybe there are again some failures, who knows ????

It's ofcourse your good right to place comments on my share's, but I can't garantee that I can solve these problems like missing tracks, damaged files etc. Anyway, it's important to talk about it.

You all will get what I have. If you have it better, more complete or without damaged files, be so gentle to post it here for everybody so everybody can enjoy (including myself).

I hope you can understand my point and situation.

It's not nice to read here: "It's strange that uploader doesn't post any replies in this topic." because I have also a life beside of Queenzone and  the queenhub.

Anyway..... I will continue with 1982 (hopefully in a few hours).

Best regards,



Bokkepoot

Three years ago, the taper sent off a first gen backup to get transferred and put online, and a song is now missing from what is passed off as some kind of definitive 1984 torrent.  The taper and transferrer did so much work to get this to us in the best quality possible, and we can't even keep all the songs in one place, nor even bother to check it before formally redistributing it?

You did a great job overall with 1985 and 1986, but 1984 is far from complete, as 15 of the 24 recordings in this torrent are not the definitive versions.  Many of those 15 have even been shared here before.  It should be all about quality, not quantity.

All I'm suggesting is we have an open discussion about each of the recordings, which would hopefully lead to these posts having the best possible versions.  I'm not trying to discourage you from what you're doing, and I certainly didn't say I wouldn't help out with recordings if you asked for them.

Let's have some meaningful dialogue, for everyone's benefit.  This isn't some kind of personal attack, and I'm sorry if you took it that way.

Nobody does... this is why most of us share shows individually. :-)

Feel free to contact me about any concert, and I'll help out in any way I can.

Either way, I definitely encourage you to keep going, and I'm sure plenty of other people do too.  Just to lighten your work load, maybe you can focus on shows that haven't been shared here before.  It should be much easier to reseed old torrents than to create new ones.

Thank you very much:)

Keep up the good work, really !!

I share Bob's opinions but I go further, as I think every version must be shared (even if not especially by the same person !). I mean, every tape has its own life, its own story, its own interest. Every taper has the right to think, "well, maybe my version was not the best, but my work and the risks I took are now rewarded, my version is here with quality preserved, and everybody can enjoy it". After all, every version is different.
The thing is we have to know what we download, and what is the interest in it, before uploading, and we have of course to keep the information for passing that along... hence the interest of a discussion.
After that, the multi-sourced versions are there to create the ultimate version of a show, picking up all that is needed in every recording that can be used.

I have always dreamt about a global index here on Queenzone, with all the versions listed (and shared !) and a link to find it easily for everyone and every newbie. That would be the ultimate way of managing a forum isn't it ? It seems like essential in fact (at least it's my opinion !). I was thinking about creating one of those indexes for Queen (after dealing with Roger and The Cross), as Queenzone team never did (if I'm right). In fact, I promised to keep quiet on Queenzone some months ago, but the devil is inside me, and I wanted to help with an index so after "Queen + Paul Rodgers 2005/2006" and "Queen + Paul Rodgers 2008", I started one about Brian May as a solo artist (which I am not the only one to find very interesting). But as far as the Queen concerts are concerned, you came first and shared everything year by year !! So...

So, maybe it's not the definitive versions, at least you share all you can ,which is just fabulous. After that, I think, once everything is online, we could gather and take each show one after the other and say "well, we know 3 different versions of that show (thanks Martin and Bob for your websites ! Too much is thanks is not enough), and here they are, and this one is better than this one for that, but this other one is really enjoyable too because of some more minutes being recorded or this and that", share directly from the silvers when possible (I'll do my best to help on that matter if needed), and share the closest from the masters able. This could be used after a while to create a general index, and to definitely clear everyone's collection, and definitely replace low quality with high quality. And I'm sure everybody would be happy to be able to do so. Just look outside the Queen community for other bands' communities, we are far from perfect, and not that well organized... If we can succeed in that, if we all show some good soul and help the little we can here and there, with a positive attitude, I am sure Queenzone's team will be interested in creating that general definitive index, that would only need to be updated when a new source or a better version is discovered. If Richard doesn't take the time to do it, I would do, at the only condition that Queenzone or someone else accepts to maintain it if needed after that.

My guess is almost everyone is REALLY busy downloading now, and will until the first years are shared. I undestand you became irritated because of the really hard work done (my god, so many shows, in torrent and rapidshare, go have some needed sleep now !! ;o) ). But please know that your work here is really interesting, very important in fact, and a good starting point. Starting from there, we can say that most of the Queen shows will be found on Queenzone in 2009, with fresh links and torrents that will probably be seeded a long time (I really hope so !). 
I would feel like a politician saying "2009 will be the year of the change, if we all show some solidarity and brotherhood and help on this project for the benefit of the whole community. Yes, we can !".  But the idea is there ! Vote bokkepoot for President !!

Great King Rat from Dortmund, please!

Someone must have it. Thanks!

This contains Boh rhap as in Bokkepot share it doesn't.

Hope this help you.

Could you please clarify which source this is?  One of the two sources came straight from the taper.

Just to keep the generational waters clean...

I took these links from a previous upload by RoyThomasBaker and... yes, this is the lineage claimed in that share. You arrived earlier than me Ginger :-)
 
This concert was bootleged with the previous night in a box called "Trust in one another".

No, the only information about this release I read on your site :-)

Just started downloading this, could people keep on seeding since my download speed is pretty much useless, gonna take weeks as it is! :O

Please, Great King Rat from Dortmund 84,

Thank you very much!!
