As requested. What and when? The Cross, live at the Festival For Life in Geneva, Switzerland. Recorded on April 1st, 1990. Intro Professional recording, taken from a copy of the mastertape which I bought around 2000/2001 from the Dutch Queen shop 'Miracle Express' for the huuuuge price of 90 guilders. I sent my original tape to Miklos in 2004/2005 if I'm not mistaken, who did his magic and remastered/authored the whole thing. As far as I know this is the only professional recording of a complete The Cross show available. Highly recommended, as they perform pretty much the whole Mad Bad And Dangerous To Know album and some other tracks from Shove It plus the occasional b-side/cover/Roger-track. Shame they didn't do I'm In Love With My Car or any of the other Queen-tracks they did later on though. If anyone is interested in more material by The Cross, let me know. I've got tons of stuff on VHS somewhere, including rare TV-appearances for tracks like New Dark Ages. If anyone is willing to convert this stuff to DVD, I'd be happy to send out my VHS-tapes. Setlist: In Charge Of My Heart Top Of The World Ma Closer To You Cowboys and Indians Breakdown Penetration Guru Power To Love Liar Heaven For Everyone Better Things Man On Fire Old Men (Lay Down) Sister Blue Strange Frontier Foxy Lady Final Destination Artwork and lineage: link Hope this works, as this is my first torrent. |

Is this the same version as here? link Anyway, thanks! |
Pim Derks 26.02.2010 12:42 |
No it's not. Miklos posted in the other topic (see the final page) commenting that his version (which I just shared) is much better. I can't get the damn thing to upload though. I think it uploaded a few MB to Pittrek, but now it just says 'queued' and I can't get it to start uploading again... |

Yes, I've got 0.3% from you :-) I already have a 2.960 share ratio :-) How many torrents do you have open ? Which client are you using ? |
Pim Derks 26.02.2010 13:27 |
I use Zune (am on a Mac). I haven't got any other torrents open at the moment... |

Thanks Pim! Much appreciated - i was feeling uncomfortable with people moaning at me about not sharing. I did not keep the AVI files back then unfortunately - this footage is crying for a neatvideo filter to make it look even better. |

From what I've seen so far you are right., it's an ideal candidate for neatvideo and colormill, but still looks very good. It's a pity you don't have the avis, starting from a lossy compressed video is usually not a good idea |

Please keep seeding as long as you can. I'm still at only 57% and I see no seeders :-) You can't really TRUST the statistics from the Queenzone tracker |

Yes, please keep seeding until there are at least a few reliable seeders. I will seed it when complete but I'm only at 1.7% at the moment. ............and zoners, please don't jump ship when you reach 100% - play the game! Karma |

I finished the download yesterday and had my first watching; video and audio are ok, but there's something, at least to me, that mades this show unbearable: was the sound tech in charge of the gig a close friend to Spike and, at same time, a declared enemy of Clayton's and Rog's guitars ?? Or does it anything to do with the TV production, maybe? I can only hear keyboards everywhere and this ruins it all !! had to quit watching after the 4th song. btw: I had to turn off my computer this morning; it was almost burning. Will help seeding again this evening |

Will help seeding again this evening the multitrack recording was fucked up - it was said that the video was not used officially (either as a release or promotional stuff) because of this fault (might be urban legend or someones imagination...- but its a fact that the guitars are virtually unhearable) |

doesn't roger comment during the show on how there's not many people there? anybody know what the capacity / attendence was? |

queenside 01.03.2010 11:22 |
this is the best version available but is there a better sounding flac audio bootleg? if there is someone should merge it with this video and make definitive version |

Even the date has not been in any discography until 'the miracle express' came up with the video in the late 90s, which they -reportedly at that time- bought from the production company |
