There have been rumors surrounding this. Are they really true? I've also heard only specific shows were recorded and if so, which ones? I'd like some clarification if this rumor was ever true.

Brian probably has the first night's gig at the Rainbow in November 1974, as it was recorded by his mother |

The answer is "maybe".
We know Brian collected everything he could.
We know they sometimes listened back to tapes of the last concert.
It has been suggested though that the physical cassettes were reused to review subsequent concerts.
That's why it's still a rumour- if it was known to be true it would be a "fact"

A couple of years ago an Administrator on QOL said the following about this matter:
"Sure enough they've got a shitload of soundboard concerts recorded in stereo onto bug standard quarter inch "reel to reel" tape from the PA feed, but previously to "them", they haven't been able to tinker with the sound too much, and that explains why they've so far left the concept alone.
He could be referring to a LOT of shows where they just have stereo soundboard recordings, and there ARE a lot.
But I really don't think we'll see many, if any, of those ever getting released, outside of some sort of archive live release set, and then probably only for the curiosity value of songs they only played a handful of times."
So, surely there's a nice amount of unheard soundboard recordings in the vault (or Brian's vault). Unfortunately, tragically and sadly it looks like we'll have to wait until after the current Queen bosses are gone.
