SUN CITY 

2 CD

Label: Grexit Records GREX 008
Country: Europe (I guess)
Released: September 2015
Recorded: Live At Super Bowl , Sun City, Bophuthatswana, South Africa 19th October 1984.
Sound: Soundboard recording.
Comments:  From the last gig on this South Africa, Sun City dates.
Another 2cd with the full set of the gig on Oct. 19th., from the South Africa 'The Works' tour in 1984.
This time released with paper sleeve. I'm not sure of fold-out cover, or single card sleeve.
A bit sad the producer has used a '86 'Magic Tour' photos on the front & back cover. Would have been more professional, if correct time of photos has been used.
So far, this is the only show from this Sun City gigs which has find the way out on the marked. I have never come across any film/ video from those gigs.
There has been some doubt in Queen fan circles, how many concerts Queen actually played in Sun City in 1984.
The plan was 9 concerts, but as far as I know at least one show was canceled due to Freddie's throat problems. But, I have so far not been confirmed 100% how many concert were played. Something uncertainties regarding exact dates, has also been mentioned. Depend which time the gig started. If after 24:00, sometimes this gig then are listed the day after, which actually is true, even the previously day is listed as the gig date.
'God Save The Queen' outtroduction on tape, at the end is missing.
This recording sound to me, as it's a recording from the mixing desk, that mean the sound which goes to the speakers. There are no separate microphone which catch the audience sounds, so on this recording, the audience can't be heard so clear.
It's the stage microphones that capture the audience sound, and they do not work so well for that purpose.
Roots: From a tape recording of the soundboard, which finally has find the way out on the marked.
