QUEEN
1986.07.26 Slane, Castle

"IRISH MAGIC CASTLE"
Directly from the silvers.

Lineage (audio)  : "IRISH MAGIC CASTLE" silvers CD > WAV (EAC) > Flac level 8 (Traders Little Helper)
Lineage (video) : "IRISH MAGIC CASTLE" silvers CD > direct copy on the Hard Drive > torrent (correct me if the lineage should be indicated differently)

Comments : This is a show that I'm sure Queen members would have loved to forget. Lots of different things made that one a sort of nightmare : a fight in the audience, a concert given mostly in the daylight, political tensions that made "God Save The Queen" out of the setlist, Brian hit by a bottle of beer and not really enthusiastic to play the encores, and Roger amazed to see people drinking so much beer. Still, it is part of Queen's history, and of course Irish fans really deserved to see Queen live, so !
Lots of pictures, stories, reviews and details can be found on www.queenlive.ca and www.queenconcerts.com. Thanks for those websites guys !

Here is my first (and most probably last) torrent here, I give it a try, hope this will work perfectly.
As my internet connection is not as good as I would like it to be, please accept my apologies if ever the upload speed was too slow for you. Be patient, thanks a lot. I'll give it my best !
Also, I have a limited disk drive space on my computer, I would have to keep my upload speed for further uploads here and there, so I probably won't be able to seed one for long, so let's hope you'll be able to back me up enough for other fellows who would like to download that. Thanks to seed as much and as long as you can, and to come back and add some help. I'll wait for some people to have it complete anyway, and will try to keep seeding as long as I can too.

The audio part will also be available on megaupload here :
CD1 (+ artwork, freq analysis, info.txt, FFps...)

CD2 :

You'll find the DVD in the torrent, but I won't create megaupload link for the DVD, if someone wants to upload that, please feel free to do so, I would be happy if someone could deal with that. I don't have a connection good enough to upload so many things at a time ;o)

Enjoy, hope everything will work fine !

Regards,

Olivier,

Ps : I keep saying "silvers CD" in the lineage I give, but it is in fact "Pro-CDrs" to be completely correct. But how to distinct a Pro-Cdr from a CDr these days ? Anyway, www.queenonstage.com will allow you to see which bootlegs are silvers and which are Pro-CDrs. This is taken from the Pro-CDrs, not a copy from a copy from a copy from a copy...

I'm looking forward to seeing this!

You're wonderful, dear Ginger, as always !
Seems like your connection is waaaayyy better than mine, so your help is really appreciated !

I don't have it.  And I highly doubt it's from the master.  These guys just started labeling the colour copies as master copies, and many sheep followed..

Thank you very much

It s true that of this show exist a professional recording ?

Thank you very much Olivier!!
I'm curious to see this one, I have the Snowprod. version and judging by the video I really don't think it's from the master, and also has a slightly "blocking" effect.

Hey Olivier, thanks a lot for the nice share ! So I guess your long-awaited package has arrived already :-)



Thanks a lot for the clarification . So basically it's similar to your mix, but with cross-fades instead of the "hard cuts" ?



Yes, I have it. It sucks and it's definitely NOT from the master, and comes from a lossy source (and / or was encoded with low bitrate)

Could somebody please share the DVD ? Or at least some screenshots from the DVD just to compare if it's an upgrade ?

Thanks

Marknow, Thanks,
I think you are right!
Slane was a huge show, the biggest crowd of the tour except for Knebworth that was added later on..
Apart from this I don t know why sometimes bands they choose to made a DVD for a concert in a little venue instead to record a huge show.
Let s think for example to Queen plus PR"RETURN OF THE CHAMPIONS DVD"..It was shot in Sheffield..but why not pick up Hyde Park instead?..U2 did some dvd's from "little"shows instead to choose for example Mega-concert from the same tour. It s for acoustic reason?

Indeed, because it's a lossy encoding, like most of his DVDs.  Many people are fooled by the pretty menus, but others aren't.  It's a whole lot of style and no substance.  Just like any other business - add flashiness when the product itself is lacking.

Here's some Slane pro footage from TV..

aired the next day - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iPGiiAseAs
aired in 1999 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L0pbs0cdj0

This looks like a cleaner version, but does not have any extra definition. The old VHS copy I have has better colour, but worse overall picture quality.

I'd give an arm and a leg to see the pro-shot footage, even though it's not release standard it would be very interesting.

Hi,

Just one little stupid question here, were the cameras from the Queen camp, or were all the various cameras from TV stations ? or "documentary teams" ? Is it possible that they thought about filming that show (because of the big crowd and all), but decided not to use that because of the various problems during the show ? I think I missed previous discussions about that.

Regards,

Olivier,
Belgium.

many tks for this share Olivier :)

Sir GH wrote: Well done on the research Greg.. err, I mean Mark.

The fanbase once again does far better work than official channels.

In this case, it was already known that the band did a 24-track recording.  In fact, a cable was pulled out by a drunken audience member around the time the fight broke out in the audience, so that part of the show may not even exist on their recording.
Ah !!!
This show is full of really interesting stories. What a nightmare !!! Really interesting, guys !

Now, the equipment make me think that these recordings had been made for something, then, and if it is not for an official release (in any form), then I don't get why it was done with 24-track and probably video cameras. The second question that goes to my mind, is why that show, that was in complete daylight, when the light show was almost completely ineffective ? Whatever the size of the crowd, it was not that representative of Queen's grandeur, compared to other shows.

Once again, thanks to the taper, thanka to him, we know/hear/see what happened and it will somehow remain in Queen's history. All these fan recordings are really interesting, and taping is not a bad thing at all ! And we can't get enough of that stuff !

Olivier,

Thanks a lot Ruth!!! Great share !!!!!

Marknow wrote: This is purely hypothetical on my part, and from some discussion with other people.

It is my belief that Queen had at least one camera there that day possibly in the sound tower located in the crowd. I think it would make sense that Gavin Taylor, the guy who filmed the Friday footage from Wembley, Disk 2, was there, and IF he was there would be more than one camera.

RTE Ireland were defiantly there for the duration of the concert, as can been seen from  the links Bob posted. They show shots from right next to the stage and crowd shots taken from the roof of the castle. So was it 2 cameras, or one that moved from the stage to the roof. The news footage could have been supplied by the same camera from the Dave Fanning clips, but who knows. Dave Fanning famously hates Queen, so RTE is a dead end anyway. Although any footage would still be in his/RTE's archive as both are well known for keeping everything.

And obviously there is the boot video.

It would be great to have some official confirmation, I could be WAY off, and I probably am.
It's so frustrating that some people could easily answer these questions without compromising Q.P
Sharing information never hurt anybody.

Greg did mention Slane in one of his posts http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1027435/the-queen-live-archive-list-finally-sorry-for-the-delay.aspx

But his info was a bit ambiguous by mentioning that his list was a mix of audio and video.

Why is it that Dave Fanning famously hates Queen?

There's no one seeding :( Can someone seed? Thanks

Thanks Olivier !

Thank you very much for sharing.

Hi Olivier,

Just  recently got a braodband connection so I'm back in Queenzone.

Thanks so very much for sharing this, can't wait to hear it.

I was at this show and bought the cassette which forms part of Bob's mix the following morning on my way home in Slane village.

It wasn't a great day for Queen, at first I was right down the front in the mud and the roughest crowd ever, fights everywhere. By the time Chris Rea finished things were getting nuts, all sorts of stuff being thrown at the stage by so many drunks.

One thing I clearly remember was a guy getting on stage and running at Freddie; Freddie very coolley put his arm around him and walked him down the steps and led him to the security staff who escorted him off-stage. The show lacked atmosphere, Slane is a huge natual bowl and the fact that the show started and finished in day light proably didn't add to that.

We Irish can be a difficult audience, watch Axl and Co getting bottled off on You Tube at a recent G 'N R show!
