Queen

Rotterdam, Netherlands
Ahoy Rotterdam
April 20, 1978

As requested by our good friend Pittrek..

This is the (almost) complete audience recording from the second night in Rotterdam, sounding better than previous circulating copies.  Thanks to AH Seligman for the tapes.

The beginning of Liar is filled in with a higher generation copy.

Most circulating copies these days cut out after We Are The Champions.  As stated on Queenlive.ca (who is that guy. anyway?) :

'The first 20 seconds of Sheer Heart Attack from the first night were spliced into the recording to make it appear as if it was complete (the edit was easily noticeable, as the tape speeds of the two recordings were different).  But some collectors may have thereby wrongfully assumed that the second encores were entirely from the first night, which may account for their absense on circulating copies through the years.'

So I simply removed that bit of tape from the first night, and we're left with what seems to be the longest existing recording of the second night.
