14 tracks, 53:50
TT: 53:50
SQ: 8-8.5/10, vg+ aud IMHO
This appears to be a bit more than
50% of the concert.

This will be VERY short & sweet. This was requested by
1bgsky ; here you go, buddy ! This is by no means the
finest dub of this rare boot. I got this either in trade
or bought it within the last 15 years. The vinyl that this
was copied from has several pops and crackles in it ;
otherwise it sounds pretty good. I did NOTHING to attempt
to improve the SQ. If anybody wishes to try to remaster
this recording and up it here, go right ahead. I just hope
that you know what you’re doing. If anyone has a virgin
copy of this show, please do a first gen dub right off the
vinyl and up it on Dime. I’ll be looking for it !!! That’s
really all that I have so let’s get this show on the yellow
brick road to spiritual enlightenment…..

Finally, please don’t buy, sell or convert this show to mp3 or any other
lossy format. Please seed this as long as you can. Please trade this freely
as it probably is fairly uncirculated. This show will be a welcome addition
to any Queen fan’s collection. I will post a sample to help some of you decide
whether or not to get it. As rare as this seems to be though, you’d be a fool
to pass this up until a better copy appears. So, as Mr. Natural is so fond of
saying, have fun, don’t freak out and enjoy the concert !
