THE CROSS LIVE DEC 2013!

Check out Spike's latest press release! (I saw it on Facebook)

This absolutely hits the spot far more that Brian and Kerry!!

I was going to open a new thread about this. This is amazing! ;-) First full band show in 20 years!

I think that these are the potential songs that they will do (not all):

* Cowboys & Indians
* Heaven For Everyone
* Stand Up For Love

* Top Of The World MA
* Sister Blue (Pete on vocals)
* Liar
* Power To Love
* Final Destination

* New Dark Ages
* Baby It's Allright (Spikey on vocals)
* Ain't Put Nothing Down (Clayton on vocals)

Plus:
* In Charge Of My Heart
* Man On Fire

"Check out Spike's latest press release!"

Cheers for the link!

Even if they play just one chord, it will be stunning to see the band on stage again.

Mmm, sounds interesting.

What's the story with Roger and his deafness? I've not heard anything, since it was mentioned a few months ago. Is it true, or what? I mean, his album is finished and now a Cross gig, so how can that happen? Does anyone know?

Roger isn't deaf, however his hearing has deteriorated over the years down to the point that he has to use hearing aides, which I think also explains his very noticeably slower pacing on the drums during the Q+AL tour last year (he screwed up quite a bit on that tour if you listen closely to the bootlegs!)

Hopefully it's not as bad as say Pete Townshend's!

a short set of The Cross would be WAY more interesting than Queen + AL, Kerry + Brian, Extravaganza and many other latest "releases"

Amazing news.

Can't wait for the eventual recording :-)

is that ^^^ what's called an "unintentional pun" ?

Haha, no Brenski, it wasn't. I never even thought of that. Put it down to bad phrasing, er, a bit like Glambert, I suppose.

Really Great news !!!!!

Most exciting news to me in ages ! Bravo Roger, Spike, Josh & all for making this unexpected reunion possible :)

Shucks, and I thought I went to the last ever Cross gig. I think they should pay for me to go to this one as compensation.

Of course I will be there.
