The show begins with the superb 'Bad
Attitude' intro (from tape). Right after the first song Roger greets the audience. Only three tracks are "old", the rest of
the setlist comes from the Blue Rock album! Roger's introductions of the songs are either brief or none ("Welcome to new dark
ages" or "Sometimes I feel like a man on fire"). Roger's voice sounds quite tired in some spots although it may be just my
impression.
Most of the concerts were identical although some setlists also included The Also Rans after Power To Love.
The Cross were only a support band to Magnum on this tour so the gigs were quite short (45 minutes). Unfortunately, not many
recordings survived. The Düsseldorf concert was later released by the fan club as the second "official bootleg" (with Astoria
1990 being the first one).
