The Cross Gig

Wonder how many sad arses/stalkers will be queuing all day. Most people grow out of such behaviour, but apparently not some "Queen fans". Seen one such type on Twitter who constantly tweets Kerry Ellis trying to send her gifts and has gone to every Brian May & Kerry Ellis show on their last tour. That is just scary.

I understand, but how can you tape the show for us when you leave before it's over?

Yeah, I believe the guy is tall, skinny and has big, curly grey hair.

Got my wristband.

Off to find a pub.

Not a bad gig. It was a toss up between getting a good recording or going for the front row. The lure of the front row won out I'm afraid, so my recording is a bit distorted! (There will be better I'm certain) Roger didn't have any new purple shoes, but he did have some red lurex ones! 'I'm old', he joked, when he missed out a song in the set. He also missed catching his tambourine. Drumsticks went out to right of stage, I was to the left! The set was about an hour long.

Thank you, Marco Mercury!

Just got to the point of Spike 'singing' Dirty Mind........

.........oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Watched the video footage, great stuff thank's for sharing, Thought Roger was magic, back at what he does best, singing his own song's, and very well done too.Wasn't too bothered about this gig, but o wish I had been there. Merry Xmas

wow, thanks to Marco Mercury for uploading the vid, and eYe for sharing it here !

fantastic, fantastic ... Roger and the band sounded great !

and as Queen Two says above, it´s now that I regret not being there !

Why don't you start a queen+paulrodgers forum and put there all of your favorite stuff: the cross gigs, brian gigs, roger different versions etc?
I'm bored of this queen related second class material.
If there are no more queen boots to share, that's it. I'll listen the old ones. And there are a lot (THE LOT) thanks to sirgh, pittrek, masahiko, bokkepoot and others.

If you don't like it, don't check the topics. Don't watch the material and most of all: don't complain.

Bitter much?

Edited to wind up aristide1

Wow, that version of Dirty Mind without Roger just shows what a mediocre band they always were. Still, would've loved to been there to see Roger front his first "solo"-show in almost 15 years!

Except for your emotional attachment to these side projects, i see no logical reason to describe them with words like "great stuff..", "magic...", "fantastic, fantastic..".
Maybe it was magic and fantastic to be 30 years younger and to be in the audience, but the music itself is quite plain and is not aging well.
