Queen
Super Bowl
Sun City, Bophuthatswana
South Africa
October 19th, 1984.


Originally shared by Anthony aka City-in-the-Sun at Queenzone.com
Edited by Alex Solan.



Here it's the amazing soundboard show at Sun City shared a few weeks ago in MP3 format only and incomplete (almost first half of the show)
Pitch runned about at a semitone (approx.) slower so I corrected it using GoldWave... now I've downloaded Anthony's original MP3 (single file) and done the same process but now splitted on tracks and encoded to FLAC (to avoid gaps between tracks for those of you who might want to burn to Audio CD)

Lineage for this version: SBD > ? > City-in-the-Sun's original MP3 single file > decoded and edited using GoldWave -pitch correction and tracks splitted- > encode to FLAC level 8 using Trader's Little Helper (aligned on sector boundaries)

.md5 and .ffp files included.

Also including the preview MP3 file shared by Anthony at the Serious discussion forum (also pitch corrected and encoded back again to MP3 128 kbps, using GoldWave) and a very nice interview to Brian & Roger from 1986 talking about the Sun City gigs, Irish radio clip kindly shared by Marknow at the original thread:

Just so you all know, Anthony is having a bit of soundcard trouble which is the reason that the rest of this show hasnt yet been shared

Indeed, I always though once a file was transferred to mp3 the quality was ruined forever. No decoding possible to the orginal quality.

OMG what a powerful show this is.
Thanks for the original uploader and for the effort Alex has put into this torrent version.
I'm listening to it right now for the first time and I'm getting goose bumps.
This is amazing.

Thanks.

For a couple of seconds there I thought the second part also got shared :-(

Rapidshare say that they Free users will find things easier within a few days as they're upgrading their capacities.

and forgot to mention Danie van der Merwe for both pics from the show, not sure from which show but they survived over 26 years!

"Myself & Victor took off on a trip to see Queen at Sun City in the middle 1980's. I smuggled a camera and a tape recorder in, in the bottom of my boots."

unfortunately, the recording didn't survive the pass of time...

Was it at least sold or traded, which would explain the lack of a 2nd tape here?
