Queen: 1976-01-30 Boston, MA (FLAC_AUD Master_2 CD)

This a show that has been requested and I am finally getting some time to upload it early this morning.  It's an excellent-to-superb recording by Dan Lampinski of a Queen show in Boston in 1976.

This is the speed corrected copy of the show.  The original copy shared ran a little fast and another Queen fan fixed the error.  I don't believe any other alterations have been done to the audio as in equalizing it.  There is no mention of any EQ work and just the speed correction, re-tracking the songs, and renaming tracks by the party that did the work.  In fact. I'm sure no EQ'ing was done when I look closer at the lineage and compare this copy with the original one shared by Lampinski.

By "Thomasbirch" (speed correcting person) (copy & paste):
"I had to share this it's fabulous. From a tape recorded by Dan Lampinski and recently shared at Dime by Carl Morstadt I just made it run at the right speed as it was too fast. Download this, I guarantee you'll love it - unless you hate Queen, in which case, why are you reading this? The sound quality is phenomenal for a 1976 audience recording rich bass, clear treble, stereo separation and all and it's a heck of a gig. Everybody's on top of their game.  I made some artwork as well."

Thanks goes to Dan Lampinski for sharing his recording (one of many) and to "Thomasbirch" for fixing the speed and also making some improved (in my opinion) artwork!

The artwork created by "Thomasbirch" and the original artwork are both in the artwork folder.  I like the "Thomasbirch" artwork better cosmetically as well as in completeness too.  He created a booklet too as part of his artwork project that looks nice.

As for the audio, it really is an excellent-to-superb sounding recording Lampinski got of this show and one most Queen fans will surely enjoy.  The stereo separation is great in this show too.  Everyone in the band can be heard equally and the crowd noise is very low with an occasional comment from the audience heard or some clapping.  And most times, that is heard between songs when it is heard.

This is a much better recording than Lampinski's 1974 Queen show he recorded (I think it was also on January 30th too) two years earlier.  What makes this show so enjoyable to me is the clarity and cleanness of the audio.  The bass is full and the highs are crisp, sharp, and very clean.  You get the full range of sound in this show and it's almost as if you were sitting in the front watching the concert as you listen.  Lampinski recorded an historic winner with this one for sure!

I hope you enjoy the show...
