SUN CITY '84

 2 CD

Label: King Street Alive The Live IACD10217
Country: I guess from Japan, but I'm not sure.
Released: September 2019.
Recorded: Live at Super Bowl, Sun City, Bophuthatswana, South Africa 19th October 1984.
Sound: Excellent soundboard recording. But not as good as officially live recordings.
Comments:  One more bootleg 2cd from this Sun City concert in South Africa in 1984. Queen played a handful concert there in October that year. So far, only recording from the last date has seen daylight. This is a pro-recording, but as far as I know, NOT from any commercial radio broadcast or similar media.
Might be from a leaked archive recording.
This bootleg seams to be a copy from the Wardour label release "Definitive Sun City", but It might also be from another bootleg. A handful of bootleg has been released with this concert. As far as I know, from the same sound source.
Roots: Professional recording. But, not as good as a officially live recording.

At least, a lot of this 2cd comes with Japanese OBI.
Information from Internet page,

It is the talk of Queen's live performances, both good and bad. After conquering Europe, Asia, Oceania, North America, and South America, Queen's last stop is Africa. It was then that Queen received an offer to perform a concert in South Africa, a country isolated from the rest of the world by apartheid.
Queen, who believes that music has nothing to do with politics, dares to give the concert despite the worldwide condemnation, and actively visits black areas during the concert to conduct anti-apartheid activities.
The set list of the concert held on October 19, 1984, includes 24 songs, and this live album contains the complete set.
The concert was held in a unique environment, but the band performed flawlessly live. This is truly the missing piece of Queen's career! Imported domestic version with bilingual English booklet.
