Forums > Sharing The Music - Announce > Brian May Quality Frenzy !! Index here !!

---

Hello everyone !!

It seems some of you could help the forum get animated again... Thanks to all of you who accepted to add their contribution to that and all that will do !

Here you will find an index of all the shows Brian May played outside of Queen (and Queen+Paul Rodgers), be it solo tours, pre-Queen or guest appearances. When a recording is shared on Queenzone AND IN QUALITY, meaning a lossless recording for instance, I'll add the link besides, so we can find it very easily. Please help me locating all the different threads that were already launched in the past as there was no index until now for Brian May shows.

It is really astonishing to see the number of shows he appeared in, in various formats ! The guy was bloody active when Queen was not... Really amazing ! So before starting, the first man I have to thank is Martin. I was able to create this index thanks to his fabulous website, wwww.queenconcerts.com. I also used Martin's website to report here in the index if a recording exists or not (so for all the entries fo this index, minus the Pre-Queen and Smile shows, if you don't read "no recording known", it means there is something out there, be it an audience recording or a TV broadcast).  
You can have a look and select "Concertography" and then "Brian May on tour". A little cut and paste and some Excel magic and here you have the complete list on format "year.month.day", so that the list could be drawn in chronologic order. Also , you get a lot of details of the concert and the existing recordings of Brian May, pictures, memorabilia and so on... No doubt the traffic on queenconcerts.com will increase within a few weeks !! Thanks Martin for your amazing work !


So I'll first list the Pre-Queen shows (including Smile shows), no doubt (almost ?) nothing will appear in that section, but that will definitely complete the listing. Then comes the "Back To The Light Tour", then "Another World Tour", both promoting Brian May's solo albums. After listening to the live recordings, if you haven't got these ones yet, buy them, this is excellent stuff for a solo career in my opinion. At least VERY interesting for a Queen fan.
And I'll finish with the guest appearances across all the years until nowadays.
Some internet attacks had for consequence that some posts were truncated, so I think it's better to list only 20 shows per message. sorry if that makes it a little bit more difficult to use, but I don't want to make the work twice.


OK, here we go, don't hesitate to add your contribution and SHARE !! Also, announce yourself here and tell what recordings you will share in the near future, so that two persons don't upload the same thing at the same time. I'll include that information too as "To Be Uploaded Soon". Remember, Lossless only !! To know if a mp3 recording exists, just take a look at Martin's website www.queenconcerts.com, all the recordings available are listed there ! 


Many thanks in advance to everyone who will share and/or help in this index. Many thanks to the tapers, the people who share and who kept the quality along the way, we'll do the same now with this  Thanks to everyone who will be able to bring some masters !  
And most of all, THANKS TO BRIAN MAY HIMSELF for being that "prolific" and that skilled. Amazing work that we all want to preserve and document as much as possible !!

That's it, too much blah-blah, now let's start the Brian May Frenzy !!!! I will try and follow that index at least until the end of the year and we'll see how it goes !!


Regards,

Olivier,
Belgium.


Ps : If all goes fine, the same sort of things could be done for Roger Taylor, The Cross and guest appearances.

Hello Ruth,

Thanx for starting up this great idea !

I have checked my own collection from the list you did publish here.
I found the next concerts in my collection and want to share them all here as torrent.
All are in Flac and are checked with audiochecker and, when not sure, with Tau analyzer.

In most cases I don't have information from source, conversions etc. because they are coming from the queenhub. Thanks to the original sharing people there !!

Here is the list:

1993.03.14 New York, USA 
(Sharing now as torrent, Mediafire and Rapidshare: http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1175633/announce-flac-1993-03-14-new-york.aspx )
1993.11.05 Tokyo, Japan
(Sharing now as torrent, Mediafire and Rapidshare: http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1175733/announce-flac-1993-11-05-tokyo.aspx )
1998.06.05 Rome, Italy   (Promo)
1998.06.16 London (Promo; VH1) this one is not listed in your list
1998.09.24 Groningen, Holland  
1998.09.30 Warsaw, Poland
1998.10.30 Newcastle, UK  
1998.10.31 Manchester, UK  
1998.11.03 Glasgow, UK
1998.11.10 Tokyo, Japan  
1998.11.11 Tokyo, Japan
1999.05.01 Buxton, UK (Cozy Powell tribute with SAS Band)
1999.09.04 Reading, UK (with SAS Band / The Cross)
2001.11.24 London, UK (with SAS Band and special guests)

Next days/weeks I go share these Flac concerts with you all !!
Give me a little time to sort things out so I can upload them.

greetings


Bokkepoot

I have Hamburg 1998 in mp3 format, but I haven't been able to find it in FLAC or another lossless format. Too bad, because it's the best recording of the AW tour I've heard.
