Roger Taylor of Queen Rarites Fansite

"I am a musician by profession, that's my whole life, and I didn't want to waste it in easy retirement"

The Cross in London 4 Dec 1988
(Fan Club Party w. Brian and John)

The concert was held at Hammersmith Palais, London.

"Cowboys & Indians"
Outstanding "in the USA" husky scream :) Roger playing black Fender Telecaster guitar.
"Heaven For Everyone"
Roger more sings than plays the guitar. The second voice is sung by Peter Noone, the bassist. At the end the song slows down...
"It's An Illusion"
Roger says it's got to be "Strange Frontier" song... but turns to be "It's An Illusion". A bit different style of singing "voodoo" word ;)
"Contact"
More guitar solos there. Roger trying to go solo, but no-one really knows who plays... he says Clayton Moss on the guitar.
"Man On Fire"
As always "I wanna burn" words at the end.
"Strange Frontier"
Roger says it goes earlier... but really they sing it here and now. People get really crazy! Then comes Brian May... and John Deacon!
"Dust My Broom"
...and Brian takes on the vocals! 3/4 of Queen version of this old bluesy stuff.
"I'm In Love With My Car"
Roger takes back on vocals... not for too long... Brian tells this is an old Roger song...
"Early Morning Blues"
Brian says it was written some 60 years ago. In the meantime Roger goes to play the drums!
"Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On"
This time we have a guest appearance by Chris Thompson (as the lead singer). Roger still on drums, as a second drummer. And that's the end!

The concert has been bootlegged and exists in the void as "75% Queen" along with The Cross' Munich 1991 concert.
