Hi all, I have some FLAC files from this show, but as many of you might already know... this show´s recording as an awful lot of tape hiss. What I tried to do was play around with the sound to try to improve. This would be my first "serious" remaster of anything at all. I bring to you a sample of my work in FLAC format. The lineage is: ??? > FLAC (from gr8kingrat website) > Soundwork with Audacity > WAV > FLAC The details of the sample are: From 0 to 10 seconds: original FLAC sound From 10 to 25 seconds: remastered sound From 25 seconds to the end: original FLAC sound The sample song is Stone Cold Crazy. This is an amazing show, even if the tape is almost crappy. I remind you this is still a soundboard stereo recording! LINK: http://www.mediafire.com/?7jgknnhckbk AND PLEASE, if this FLAC source is worse than any other available source, please tell me. I wouldn´t like to be spreading crappy stuff when the good stuff is floating. The same thing goes for my remaster. If you think this is total crap, it isn´t worth it for me to share it, maybe I´ll keep it to myself. This is my first work in sound stuff, so don´t expect something spectacular. Maybe I´ll improve over time. I also remind you that this show has a kick-ass version of White Man. I mean, really really great. (Anyway the remaster of all songs is far from complete...)

I can notice a very slight difference, but nothing which makes it anything special, which is a shame, with respect you you.. is there anyone more experienced who thinks they could do a better job?, thanks anyway!

Well thanks for your honest asnwer. I think you are right, this recording deserves a pro-remaster. Anyone with experience can do it? EDIT: I´ll continue to do a small work on this anyway. Even if I don´t end up sharing the rest, I´ll keep it to myself.

With all respect to you, but I don't think this version of this particular concert could be made anything better. You need at least a low gen or better master tape of this show for an enjoyable listening experience. Well, at least you tried :-)

Also , I need to decide if i´ll do that and which recording. The only full recordings that I have in FLAC right now are Cleveland and the Rainbow March Show (the new Pre-LP one). And I wouldn´t dare to touch the Rainbow show, it seems so perfect already! :-) EDIT: Or maybe I´ll try some old concert in MP3 that isn´t available as FLAC in the Internet...

I´m starting to think about playing around with the Uris Theatre 7.05.1974 recording. After all, it´s bad... so it could need some tuning. First, it has a very low amount of bass. I know it´s also a very bad recording, but I believe there is no need to remaster a good recording, it already sounds great as it is... I´ll see what I can do, and if I really do something at all, at least I´ll post a sample later.

Didn´t know that one was already remastered. :P Well, I think I´ll just continue with my life and forget about this remaster thingy, that´s for the masters... After all, this is a time consuming task, and time is to short for me to be doing these kind of things. Thanks for that remaster, by the way ;-)

This was my 1st Queen concert ever opened by Thin Lizzy, I would love to hear any upgrade of this show that anyone is willing to provide. Queen left quite an impression on me at that first show.

Queen left quite an impression on me at that first show. Well, I really hope that someone professional does it. In the meantime, I´ll do my remaster of at least some songs... maybe all of them later. (I´m playing around with Brighton Rock right now ;-) ) I really am thinking about remastering this show after all. It can take a while, I´m quite busy, but maybe I´ll upload something before Christmas.
