Queen music download : ANNOUNCE: Queen - Thank You All (09-08-86) flac torrent

Thank you darling :)

Many thanks for this - any chance of a bit more of an explanation of what it is please(higher gen than previously available etc)?

Thank you very much Barbara...

Btw, Who participated on the creation of this bootleg?, Sorry for being an ignorant :$

"any chance of a bit more of an explanation of what it is please(higher gen than previously available etc)?"

From what I was told this was encoded right from the master tape and not from the usual Magic At Knebworth LP--> Electric Magic CDs. The original tape is the same, though.

Btw, if anyone wants to sell the pressed Electric Magic 2 CDs, please send me a message.

thank you so much, Barbara. looking forward to hearing it!

Thank you.
An upgrade is always welcome. :-)

Thank you very much. Is it a significant improvement? I can remember the old one was quite sharp.

"encoded from the master tape" - Are you talking about an audience recording on audio tape, or the fan video recording?

Thanks

Thank you!!!

Thank you! Great post!

Many thanks to you yourvalentine,the sound is incredibly amazing

Thanks a lot, Barbara. It´s really much appreciated here. :)

Thanks!

Tim

Finishing my download now, then I'll (obviously) seed at least through midday tomorrow, then intermittently afterwards. Thanks again for this gem!

Perhaps it should be added this is from the Wardour label, or perhaps this is the tape that was sent to Wardour?

"Perhaps it should be added this is from the Wardour label, or perhaps this is the tape that was sent to Wardour?"

I added it, sorry about the confusion. "Thank You All" is the title of the Wardour box.

And a big Thank You to you too YourValentine.

The upload is much appreciated!

Thank you very much.

Great, Jeff - maybe you should announce this in a new thread


@ Freddie lives

"encoded from the master tape" - Are you talking about an audience recording on audio tape, or the fan video recording?"

I am talking about the original fan audio recording that was used for the previous bootlegs "Magic At Knebworth" LP and "Electric Magic" CDs. You will notice that the intro is longer, even the end of the last song from the intro tape (Run To You) was kept.

Thanks for this,

Erm... am I the only one having trouble with it?
Oh well - as the song goes "We'll keep on trying". :P

I don´t have speed and can´t see any other person (seeder or leecher) WHY?

I left mine seeding at home before I went to class for the day. What client are you using? I remember some QZers having problems with the tracker if they tried to use anything but uTorrent.

If all else fails, you could grab the .rars posted in this thread.

Thanks a lot for this concert. I can´t wait to hear this gem.

Take care

Thanks

Barbara, I'm still confused...

Is this a rip of the Wardour cds, or a rip of the cds that were sent to Wardour? That is a major difference!

I've finished downloading, and it sounds fantastic! They even filled in the gap at the beginning of the impromptu with an inferior source (the video source?). Top notch.

Here two covers:

enjoy.!

I hate to sound like a leech, but... can we expect the DVD anytime soon? I'm prepared to adopt it :)

V.

That's great news. Thanks, Barbara :)

Vlad

"Goddess" would be more apt! :)

They're done in Japan, in limited quantity... so they're inherently hard to find.

Here in Canada, they occasionally are found at record conventions. Your best bet is to wait for a CDR copy... and they usually come, with a bit of patience. All it takes is for one person to buy it and leak it.

Back to the Knebworth show... can anyone tell me what Freddie says before CLTCL? I can't figure it out for the life of me.

Anybody??

I've finished listening to the recording... absolutely incredible stuff. This is one of the greatest Queen bootleg finds ever, right up there with things like Liverpool 73 and Houston 77.

Awesome. Thanks a lot.

Thank you very much for this one!

>edit<

any info about quality of Knebworth video released by Wardour ?

The guitar solo is really outstanding. Brian is really inspired, and it was the first time (and last with Queen) that Brian used the pedal (i don´t know it´s name) with wich he played "Chinese Torture".

So, in this concert you have the birth of "Chinese Torture". Too bad the tour wasn´t extended because i see Brian getting better at his solo.

I also noticed that he didn´t ends the solo like he normally does; hitting two chords. Instead he goes right to "Now i´m Here". Maybe he was having problems with his tuning but the final result is interesting.

And finally, i think that with this Bootleg we finally "see" why Queen said they have the best people working for them. We are listen to what the crowd really listened that day and it´s really incredible how great the sound was in the audience. The balance and the power is really outstanding for 21 years ago in an open air concert like this.

Take care

hey bob, can you give us a small review of this gig?thanks

Hmm, alright. I'll paste what I said on my old website and combine it with some words about the new bootleg:

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

The famous Knebworth Park concert performed before an estimated 125,000 fans is the final Queen concert ever, before Freddie Mercury fell ill. This concert is definitely a must-have. Roger, in particular, is clearly having a blast all the way through. Freddie even says "nice one" after Roger's drum solo at the peak of the impromptu. Freddie sounds pretty strong throughout, and there is a lot of classic banter with the audience. Brian tries out his harmonizer pedal on stage for the first time. He recently commented on his soapbox about how exciting that moment was for him.

This particular recording is a huge upgrade of the old "Electric Magic" version. This new version called "Thank You All" on the Wardour label is copy of the master tape. The treble isn't piercing as it was on the old copy, as the EQ is nearly perfect. The sound is so clear and punchy. It's amazing what difference a few tape generations can make! Wardour has also filled in the few short gaps with an inferior (presumably the video) source.

As for the audience, these fans by the recorder hardly seem like they're into the show at times, so they were almost surely far away from the enthusiastic ones at the front. On Live Magic (and even the bootleg DVD), listen to the fans react to the band walking (or in Freddie's case, running, as seen on the bootleg DVD) onto the stage; it's well before Brian plays a note. The fans on this bootleg seem only to hear Brian, rather than see him, as they cheer after he plays that first D-chord.

Check this out... it's with the original audio source:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ8zrkT1NDs

The audience reacts before Brian plays. It's hard to tell who they see, but they see somebody! So I honestly don't think the audience was overdubbed on Live Magic. I really don't think they'd go that far.



But there could have been a sound delay, and the audio on any of the documentary footage could have been moved back a bit to match the hand-clapping.

Okay, now we're getting too detailed... haha!



Hahaha... yeah, I've seen that happen!

No problem! Here's the Wardour source cross-fading into the inferior (third) source: http://www.mediafire.com/?6mm3mjtyngu

And here's one of the third source alone: http://www.mediafire.com/?2i3hjt0mmmm


Barbara, I have another question. Do you have the Wardour silvers, or did you receive a copy of the silvers? Right now, I have my lineage as such:

"Thank You All" (Wardour) silvers (x) > WAV > FLAC level 8


But it could be this, if you received a direct copy of the silvers:

"Thank You All" (Wardour) silvers > CDR (0) > WAV > FLAC level 8


Or this, if you have the silvers:

"Thank You All" (Wardour) silvers (0) > WAV > FLAC level 8


Please let me know!

Hello all,

Could anyone please seed as I'm having trouble downloading from the mediashare links posted on the other thread - parts 2 and 3.

Sir GH, what is the date of this soapbox comment?

It's close to the bottom of this link:

http://www.brianmay.com/brian/brianssb/brianssbaug06a.html

Sorry... I clearly didn't read what you actually asked about! The link I posted was Brian's explanation about why this show will never be officially released.

I searched his site for it, but unfortunately I couldn't find it.
