We made an eleventh hour decision
to record our first London show,
Brixton Academy, and this is it.
There's no knowing what the gig
would have been like if we HADN'T
been filming, but in the circumstances
we think it came out not too bad.
This is how it was on the night, edited
down a little for various reasons,
those reasons being.
a) There's only so much running time
you can put on a CD or a
commercial video.
b) We lost one song for
copyright reasons.
c) You didn't REALLY want to
hear all that crappy stuff
where we couldn't get the
guitars to work, did
you?.....

The Brian May Band worked its ass
off touring in 1993, and came of
age. We kicked ourselves into
shape the only way you ultimately
can; by doing it. We took chances.
Sometimes it was dazzling,
sometimes it was dodgy. It was
challenging; sometimes it was tough.
But it was FUN. This recording
shows us at a mid-way stage,
making our first appearance in our
home city.
Enjoy, and come with us to the
future.
Cheers Brian.

PS: By the way, if you
were there, THANKS!
You're on this record, and
without you, folks, there's
