Queen music download : RE-ANNOUCE: Queen at Morumbi Stadium 03/20/1981 FLAC with interviews

Thanks, but can you post in mediafire or rapidshare? Thanks again.!

Give the man a break, he just posted the whole thing on our own tracker. Someone else might upload the show using mediafire.

Everyone sees the friendly me when its done properly frank hehe....you should know that ;)

Really, Bob? Is it the true stereo source? The true stereo source is easily recognizable on the NIH intro ('Now I'm Here' / ´Now I'm There´ on left/right channels). If yes I'm tempted to download it :)

Same sentiments here. Seeder keeps appearing and disappearing regularly and the download seems fairly slow. But I'll stick with it - I'm sure it'll be worth it.

Thanks for the upload, looking forward to hear it.

Right now I counted 26 peers with 37% and none above it, which means many of us are in need of seeding, but I guess we can wait. :)

Cheers,

Ogre-

thanks!

Many thanks.

I can't tell, because the download hasn't completed... I'm not able to listen to more than 10 seconds of each song. I'm at about 72%. When my download is finished and I've listened to the show, as usual you can expect a review of the recording from me. :)

Do you have that master from Jovem Pan 2 FM, by the way?

Thou shalt be forgiven, Henrique :)

Abraço,

Ogre-

Still, it's interesting, for those of us who are completists. Did you record it yourself at the concert (you were 16, so it's possible)? If not, then technically there should be other copies out there. There are small parts cut from the radio recordings and videos, so it would be nice to have an audience recording to fill in those gaps.

> Did you record it yourself at the concert (you were 16, so it's possible)?

The recording was done by a friend who went to the concert with me, but I don't think there are surviving copies around (at least I never saw it on anyone's list).I lost contact with the taper when he moved to Japan in the mid-80's.However, I will ask a friend if he has it (the only person who might still have it appart from me, IF he got a copy from the taper).If I locate it I will let you know, but don't hold your breath...

strange..i can't play these flac's. I use winamp and never had problems at all. Does anybody having the same problems??

Thanks for sharing!!

The seeder is gone :(... but at least those who we have more downloaded can help the others who has less.

I'm at 97.8% and seeding to dozens of peers, but only 2 active. DL rate is almost zero, but there's activity. Maybe from fellow 97.8%ers.

After 8 days of patient downloading I am finished, thanks so much for your patientence, Ibarzi. Like other people I cannot play the files in Winamp, any help is appreciated.

Problems for me too. I use Nero 6 to play FLAC but for some reason won't play these.

These flac's are big... maybe they are encodet @24bit?? I had the same problem with DVD Audio extractor, I encodet some audio stuff at 24bit sample rate and they won't play either. Maybe it's my crappy onboard-soundcard... For those with the same problems: what soundcards do you use?

I downloaded VUplayer, the files play great in Vuplayer, thanks for the tip, Martin. The quality is amazing. Now - how do we burn an audio CD?:)

For some reason I am now able to convert the flacs to wav with FlacFrontend. The files don't fit on 2 CDs but I don't mind, they are worth 3 discs:)

Works fine :-) thanks for info!

Ok, my first words of "crictics".
This broadcast is still strange for my ears for some reasons (mostly blames of radio):
- intro for WWRY fast missing
- the same old small cut before STL (am I wrong or it's just Freddie's mic ?)
- missing Freddie's improvisation on NIH (tape was changed ?)
- fade out/in beetwen TYMD/AOBTD
- where is GSTQ ? WATCH ended with small fade out
But it's not so importand to much.
Seems to be real stereo. I don't compare quality yet with 1984 rebroadcast but at know is for sure excellent - read incredible, awesome, fabulous - and Queen still rock :D THANKS lbarzi !

Much better x100 then old "96min version" of that from radio and Gypsy Eye release (from video). It's realy master copy. Very clear.
Why QP don't release this officialy ? Roger T. probably will be satisfied with this unlike to Live Killers album :)

I don't have a problem to play this - I use foobar 0.9.4.2 (ps. the best player in the world ;) )

Thank's but I can decode flac to wav..I've got easy audio converter pro..after this..nero doesn't accept those files..
Anyway thank you very much for help! :-)

How can I convert these flac onto mp3?

.......hey, just kidding, ok?

Seriously, I just can´t burn. Nero says "these WAV files are protected...". What I have to do?

Any idea? Thanks!

They're 24-bit WAV files... so will they lose quality if they're converted to 16-bit?

Hmmmmmm...

So yeah, in this case, we'll have to keep the FLACs as they are if they are to remain truly lossless.

Ideally, I'd like to fill in the gaps as described by Madman above (thanks for that, Luke!), and share a complete version. But if it would be considered by purists to be lossy, then it'd probably be best not to.

Opinions?

In addition to the cuts noted above, there's also one during Get Down Make Love, at the end of the middle part. But that's the way the original broadcast was. I've had a higher gen copy of this broadcast for years, and the same cut is there.

Hi, Fellas!

You´re welcome, I´ll find some rare things like this.

But, PLEASE, keep seeding after finish the download, help me to keep this on much time is possible.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank-you from me too! :o)

3 discs? Are you sure?
I converted mine and burned them in 2 discs.

WAV 2117 kb/s
44100 HZ

Take care

I had no problems at all burning the files to cd. I used Toast 7.01 on a Mac. It was done without any recompiling, dithering or converting. The cds (2, by the way) play fine on my car stereo,

The sound quality is sure excellent, but as someone else earlier said, it's a bit "strange". The sound is extraordinarily clear, but it lacks a bit of punch, and it sounds very narrow. I only listened to it in my car so far, but it seems to be a bit louder on the left speaker. What this recording needs is a slight EQ imo. But of course I won't do that ... because I'm too lazy ;-)

That is because the files got dithered "on-the-fly" so to speak during the burning process, meaning they were truncated from 24 bit to 16 bit simply by discarding the last 8 bits. It may still sound decent, but that's an inferior copy you have for sure.

Another great compilation from Bob factory :) ? I will wait for that =D
I'm wonder why this cuts are there ? Is this a reason to say that this was broadcasted not live = bit later then concert started (the same day but in different time or next day) or what ? :/

I use U-torrent...is there a reason why it's taken me 8 days to download and I'm still only at 60%? Am I doing something wrong?

Whether you can hear a difference,... well, it all depends on your playback equipement. When listening with $ 30 computer speakers I can't even tell the difference between an audio CD and a (properly encoded) 128 kb/s mp3. On my current playback system, which is quite good, but not really high end, the difference is huge.

I definately notice a significant difference between 16 bit and 24 bit, but as I said you need a proper playback set-up to benefit from the quality improvement. For example, a lot of consumer computer soundcards don't support 'true' 24 bit playback, but they dither the output to 16 bit. In this case, you obviously can tell very little difference.



Audacity, for example, is a free audio editor that offers decent dithering schemes. Of course there are better (and more expensive) solutions, but it's definately much better than just have your burning program cut those additional 8 bits.

Don't get me wrong: If it's for your personal use only and the truncated audio CD sounds fine to you, that's great. It is just that for further mass distribution the quality of the files must be preserved as well as possible.




I can't agree more!

Bob ,if you want to keep exactly what you've got.
Do the lot as 24bit & then author it as a DVD-A.
If one of the sources is 16 bit ,you wont lose anything by bloating that source but you will if you lower the 24bit.
As true DVD audio is 24bit it will play in standalones no prob.

You can swap the audio over from any original audio in authoring programs & then author it as a you would all other DVDs.. with chapters etc.
You could use a documentary,make a slide show or something just so there's something for the eyes while its playing,but that doesn't matter.

Just a suggestion to keep the integrity

You are not talking about an actual DVD-Audio, but you mean a Video DVD. 'True' DVD-A has a different structure, where the information is stored in the Audio_TS folder of the DVD and there is no video stream at all. The playback for these kind of DVDs is still rare, and they won't play in your standard DVD player.

However as you mentioned there is the possibility to author a Video DVD with 24 bit audio using a black screen, a slideshow or something like that as video stream. These discs will indeed play in most DVD players, but there is the problem again that most consumer players will dither the output to 16 bit (since most Video DVDs are 16 bit 48 khz, the industry obviously saw no reason to allow true 24 bit playback) and you'll get a lot of people bitching again that 24 bit was a waste of space.

Bob, I'd say create a patched version of the show using the original 24 bit files of the main source (the patch source needs to be uprendered to 24 bit in the process) and archive this version. Then dither this source compilation to 16 bit and re-torrent it.

Once there really is a demand for 24 bit files, you can post the original 24 bit compilation you made and since you archived the compilation you won't even have to redo the patch job then.

Nah! Einstein explained time distortion. You´re just answering before SirGH even ask! ; )

Now seriously, sometimes the Queenzone board messes up the order of the replys. That´s what happened here.

Take care

Radio broadcasted only that part, and I never located a better source. I had to copy it from someone (I wasn't at home to record the live broadcast, you know ;-).These live broadcasts are hard to find because almost everybody who would bother to record them from the radio were... at the stadium!

'Radio dj' in some tracks (examples):
- STL 4:57
- Save Me 4:50
- Dragon Attack 3:29

Excellent suggestion. That's exactly what I'll do... :)

It actually turns out that the 1984 radio re-broadcast sounds a bit better. One of the channels was weak (but it's a mono recording, anyway), so I copied the right channel over to the left, and suddenly it sounded much better! So, the re-broadcast will be the primary source, and I will use this TV source to fill in the many gaps.



No, I definitely won't edit it out! It'll run in real time.



Perfect.

Thanks everyone for the info and help!

Honestly, I think it's a lot better when you remove the left channel. It's a bit harsh on the ears otherwise... even if it's not a fully mono recording.

Queenland - is this guy will be wanted to share with us this recording ?
I suppose quality isn't will be so so so good but I personally collecting every stuff - from different sources (even in worser quality)

Forget it then. Great, we know the recording exists. It's stereo, but it's still inferior. I'm much happier to have the excellent mono recording from someone who shared it out of generosity, anyway.

Someone, please let me know if I'm doing something wrong...have been downloading non-stop for 2 weeks now and am only at 68%...I use Utorrent...anybody know what could be the issue? Of course there are no seeders but plenty of peers...sometimes I don't always understand how this whole torrent thing works...

Thanks much...but guess what happened...and I have no idea if it's related to downloading torrents, UTorrent, my router, or what...but as I was downloading yesterday, my computer would freeze and I would get and error...now my computer won't even boot up...is there ever a chance of viruses or anything coming through torrent files and connection to peers?

I´ve had that happening to me a couple of weeks before and i´m almost certain that it was due to an automatic actualization by Microsoft. I remember going to forums and they really fucked up this time.

Try install your Windows again over the one that is already installed and it should be OK. At least you can backup your files before deleting your Disk if that´s what you want.

Then install a good firewall like Zonealarm (free)and a good antivirus like AVG (free).

Take care

It was Queenzone and Dime...I suspect it's router related as I did visit the help page on Utorrent and it mentioned something like that, but I didn't expect my entire pc to just crash!
