Also, feeling kind of bummed about the short GT remix spin not being counted as a Mediabase spin. Please let GT be in Top 20, c'mon!!

It it safe when downloading on with Mega link and they say to DL 'Mega downloader' on Firefox or other browsers...to do that? I have tried to DL Mega links from here today on internet explorer and it keeps saying there is an error...and the Mega circle never completes full circle. I have no idea wth is happening!! I DL on firefox to go directly to iTunes to open but when it does I can't find it anywhere. It's not in the automatic DL folder where I could unzip it or anywhere! Sooo Frustrating for me with little understanding of what anyone here tries to help explain. I still don't understand why Mega DL won't work on Explorer anymore!! ETA: Yay! This one bit.ly/QARIR15_files will DL in Explorer! I use Explorer because it gives me the option to put it directly in 'Automatic to iTunes' option where Firefox just say iTunes Open and then I can't find it!lol ![]() I had trouble with Mega also ... it wouldn't accept my password so I tried to set up a new account, it said that user already existed, but I couldn't find an option to recover the existing password or create a new one. So apparently I am locked out ...  |

Ok finally got the chance to sit down and watch it properly...A few thoughts. Overall a phenomenal moment. The audience really made the show work. It was just very powerful and awesome. SO much so it was able to overcome a few weaknesses... They are definitely a bit rusty... - Adam lyrically was all over the place tonight LOL. I mean he kept it together and nothing ever trainwrecked completely but it was several songs. Nothing unforgivable May have been from being so amped. - Brian had some sweaty fingers I think a few times, during some solos. - Roger came in a bit early at one point during Magic and almost during UP. - And of course Save Me. Which from what I can tell had nothing to do with Adam's mic going dead...if anything it was his monitor went and he couldn't hear the band because he flat out missed his cue. Either that or Brian did. Adam just started the chorus a beat late...and then Brian was caught waiting for him so there was just nothing for a minute...Not sure who was following who lol. Roger and Spike just kept it going and both Brian and Adam caught up quickly and saved it by the second part of the chorus...It didn't ruin the song but I can tell you if they do a DVD/Blu-Ray of this - I wouldn't be surprised if Save Me is either cut or more likely fixed afterwards  And this - Not sure if it was the band's mix or if it was the Rock In Rio stream mix - I'd wager the latter...but the inconsistent mix was bloody awful at times. Roger's backing vocals were non-existent at times! Neil (and Rufus?) are ok for middle background vocals but when those are the voices you hear (as in Show Must Go On for example) instead of Rog? It's nowhere near as powerful. This may be my personal preference but I love hearing Rog's backing vocals ringing out as the loudest of the BVs. It adds a lot hearing his gruff high notes on Fat Bottomed Girls and Show Must Go On. The other bad part of the stream is that Spike's keys were WAY too out in front of the mix - specifically during I Want It All. Sounded very 80s because of it. The bass, drums, and guitar worked well as did Adam's vocals and Brian's. NOW the positives: The audience. As I said - they just made it a magical moment. Love of My Life and Bo Rhap were simply put amazing. WWTLF and Show Must Go On as well The vocals - All 3 vocals shined in their moments. Adam was confident, glorious when needed to be but not overdone. Rog's lead was strong and nice to hear and even Brian was stronger than he had been in recent years. Ghost Town - WORLDS better than Sao Paolo and I liked Sao Paolo. This version works well for me...I understand why some might like the house version better but this seems much more warm and groovin' - great work by Neil as well. Adam had a bit more subtlety here which really worked in his favor. In the beginning of the collaboration he almost seemed to be trying too hard whereas now he's comfortable just singing the songs, performing them along side friends instead of idols and the flow is just much better that way. |

Then it wouldn't let me download with Safari. I tried Firefox and it made me download an extension for that. So many steps that would have been saved if it would have let me reset my password. And of course I can't upload files without an account ... |

I use this Chrome Mega extension to make downloads faster: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mega/bigefpfhnfcobdlfbedofhhaibnlghod?hl=enMega will also work in FireFox and there is also a Mega extension for FireFox also, but I have had more issues using Mega in FireFox than in Chrome, so I usually stick with Chrome. Mega is know to not work well in Internet Explorer and there is no Mega extension for Internet Explorer. It is because Internet Explorer does not support some of the programming hooks that Mega needs to work in the way it is intended to work. |

I mean he kept it together and nothing ever trainwrecked completely but it was several songs. Nothing unforgivable May have been from being so amped. Yup, lots of mixed up lines, and a couple of invented ones. May also have been because he has been so focused on TOH PR he didn't go back and review the Queen lyrics as much as he should have. Not saying he was unprepared, but he might have thought he knew them better than he did. Or, he knew them when he wasn't multi-tasking with all the other things during a performance.
- Brian had some sweaty fingers I think a few times, during some solos. Was that the reason? Never occurred to me. But I did hear him grab the wrong note or chord a few times. Makes more sense than choosing the wrong fret.- Roger came in a bit early at one point during Magic and almost during UP. - And of course Save Me. Which from what I can tell had nothing to do with Adam's mic going dead...if anything it was his monitor went and he couldn't hear the band because he flat out missed his cue. Either that or Brian did. Adam just started the chorus a beat late...and then Brian was caught waiting for him so there was just nothing for a minute...Not sure who was following who lol. Roger and Spike just kept it going and both Brian and Adam caught up quickly and saved it by the second part of the chorus...It didn't ruin the song but I can tell you if they do a DVD/Blu-Ray of this - I wouldn't be surprised if Save Me is either cut or more likely fixed afterwards That is how it sounded to me as well. Didn't see him trying to sing into a dead mic. Heard him miss his cue and thought maybe there was a monitor problem. Either he was waiting for it to be fixed or waiting for the next phrase to get back in sync with the rest of the band. I think it threw him a little, as he also lost his place (and quickly corrected) right before Brian's solo. The perfectionist he is, he won't allow that on the DVD. Wonder how they would fix it? But, was Queen filming this for a possible DVD or are you thinking they would use the TV feed?And this - Not sure if it was the band's mix or if it was the Rock In Rio stream mix - I'd wager the latter...but the inconsistent mix was bloody awful at times.

I pretty much agree with your take. The sound mix was messed up -- but some parts were glorious. I think the lyrics misses (and only mega fans would notice most of them) were a bit funny. Some of the problems seems to have been because they were really pushing the gaps between songs and a couple of times someone or another was not ready. I think by the end of this mini-tour, GT may be epic. Adam and Brian both made adjustments in the Rio version and the net effect was amazing. I think they can take it up a notch or two from here. Most interesting to me is how much fun everyone was having on stage in Rio. They are all seem to have become so comfortable working together. The evolution of Q+AL is just a beautiful thing to see -- and so unlikely and rare. |

You don't need a Mega account to download files from someone else's Mega account!!! But I wanted to use the faster Mega download, and you need an account for that. Then it wouldn't let me download with Safari. I tried Firefox and it made me download an extension for that. So many steps that would have been saved if it would have let me reset my password. And of course I can't upload files without an account ... You could create another Mega account using a different email account. I have several email accounts that I don't use for anything but setting up accounts to various sites such as Mega, Facebook, etc. Do you mean the Mega Extension or the Mega Sync? I don't think Mega Extension requires a Mega account (it's been a long time since I installed it, so don't remember for sure). But Mega Sync does require an account. Mega Sync seems to work a bit like DropBox and wants to put stuff in a dedicated folder. It may be faster, but I think the direct browser download (with Mega Extension installed) is the most straight forward way to go, especially for the non-techie types. Q3 gave instructions for finding the direct browser download above. Mega works with Chrome and FireFox, and best with Chrome!!! I don't think Mega works with Safari at all, or with Internet Explorer. If you want to know why, here is an old (2013) article explaining why, but it has since been made to work with FireFox. news.softpedia.com/news/The-Full-Explanation-of-Why-Mega-Only-Works-in-Chrome-Snubbing-Firefox-IE-Safari-Opera-322708.shtml |
