Okay, this one upsets me...
Someone recently went through immeasurable amounts of trouble to get this one transfered from tape to digital in the best quality possible, and now it's ruined because it's lossy. He will be no less than horrified to find out it's available to download in mp3.
Get the lossless version at The Traders' Den, or here:

This was the original sharer's disclaimer (interesting how you chose to omit it from the original post):
"Feel free to make audio CDR's of this for your friends and family, but if any of them might trade further, please provide them with a copy of the FLAC files. Don't rip from the audio CDR copies you make, EVER! There is no need to pee in the trading pool. Backup your FLAC files, you'll need them later! If you can avoid it, don't EnCrap to MP3 files, either. MP3 sounds like crud anyway, and this dynamic recording will suffer greatly in lossy formats. If I find out you spread around an MP3 version of this, I'll come to your house and do bad things to you and yours... like farting in your fridge! So, just don't make into lossy files, please! That goes for you, too AAC and OGG!"
I have no problem with people distributing things in mp3, except in a case like this. It is the ultimate insult to download someone's beautiful recording and purposely convert it to mp3 against their wishes, simply because the files are smaller.
He says he may have one more uncirculated Queen recording in his collection which he'd be happy to share, but if he finds out that Vancouver was shared in mp3 a mere few days later, maybe he'll reconsider. I wouldn't blame him if he did. Everybody, please respect the wishes of the person who shared this in the first place. Delete the mp3s, and download the FLACs. Listen to this show as it was intended for you to hear.
