Original comments:
I'm sharing this one as many people seem to be searching for a clean copy of
this recording. I downloaded it a long time ago from the hub but it came with
a lot of annoying clicks and pops. I removed them with ClickRepair and I'm
happy with the result.

This is the first ever concert of Queen in France. They seem really happy to
get over this country that have ignored them during such a long time. There is
no much to say as in my mind, this is perhaps the best tour Queen have ever
made. Just listen and enjoy this great show... ;)

I rated the recording as vg+. It is very clear but there is some tape hiss
which is a little bit annoying during the quiet moments or if you listen to it
with headphones. It is still one of the best recordings of this tour so
everyone should enjoy it.

The recording is complete. I've remarked some minor sound problems during Keep
Yourself Alive. If you find other problems on this recording, just tell me...

By the way, there is still no recording of the second night so if you have it,
attended it or know someone who might have recorded it, please tell...

My comments :
I have downloaded this version some time ago and I was bothered by the fact
that in runs too fast. Since I couldn't find a better copy I decided to do it
by myself, so I have decoded the flac files to wav, corrected the speed in Cool
Edit Pro and encoded them back to FLAC with Trader's Little Helper with
removing all the nasty SBEs.
