Queen Live at Earls Court 1977 ( Chief Mouse 2018 Edition)

This perhaps may be an upgrade but it is by no means perfect. It feels more like a compromise since nothing will come close to the official material. Why compromise Well. This was a new tape transfer done specially for improvement purposes. Thanks to these certain people. They wanted to remain anonymous for their own reasons so I ll respect that and won t reveal any details. The transfer was made by Brianswig and here s his comment on the lineage SVHS source, played back from a Phillips VR1000 via an external TBC and captured digitally on a matrox RT2500 as DV So the tape, it is the best one we ve had yet but it had big problems. Firstly, a huge ass timecode, very similar to that of Antiden s version if anyone remembers it. Secondly, two horizontal lines of shifted pixels that randomly appear and disappear throughout the concert. Once you see them you can t unsee them. Just shifting the pixels won t work because as I said it appears randomly, but thankfully in the same place.
