This cassette is an "official bootleg", available
in early 1991, through the Official Queen Fan Club. The cassette captures
The Cross from their December 7, 1990 performance at London's Astoria
Theatre. The concert was an Official Queen Fan Club Christmas party.
The setlist mainly consists of songs from The Cross' newest album,
Mad, Bad and Dangerous To Know. Tear It Up (later to be renamed Bad
Attitude) makes its debut here. The big surprise happens on side two;
Brian May joins the band for the last 4 songs. Brian sings lead vocals
for Let Me Out and Tie Your Mother Down. Also of note, Spike Edney
was touring with Bob Geldof during the time of this concert; Mike
Moran substituted for him.
