Queen
Stockholm, Sweden
Johanneshovs Isstadion
April 12, 1978

As requested by Pittrek...

This is a merge of two sources from the first show of the European leg of the News Of The World tour.  The second source cuts out after Bohemian Rhapsody, so God Save The Queen remains awol for the time being.  This source is used to patch in cuts in The Millionaire Waltz and after Spread Your Wings in the main source.

Which is hardly conclusive. If you run the files through EAC you can see there's a jump at around the 16kHz mark but it's only from around -90dB to around -110dB. Now I stress that I've not had a chance to listen to these yet but that doesn't look like a big enough jump by itself to say that it's definitely MPEG compression - could just be hiss-reduction or some other EQ processing. Maybe someone with more time will give them a listen and offer a better opinion?

Unfortunately the alternate source cuts in at We Will Rock You fast, so this is the best we're going to get.

And sorry that it appears lossy.  It's definitely not from mp3... maybe some hiss reduction or other work was done on it before it got to me.  But this is why I don't trust these programs.  All of disc 2 is from the exact same source, yet each track gets a different report.

Hopefully the tapers of these Stockholm concerts will eventually show up to settle these matters once and for all with master copies.

Thank you very much.  The sound is very clear.  The performance of '39 is very good and clear.

MERCI BEAUCOUP SIR

is this on the original copy the litte little cut in 'the millionnaire waltz" at 2'48?

---

Thank to YOU Sir GH

It's about the same..

But they're a CDR label... a pirate label, pretty much.  They don't actually have contact with tapers.  They just take circulating recordings, EQ them, burn them to CDR, and sell them.  So their stuff just doesn't have any value, musically or in terms of collectibility.
