Album Info
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, 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;
