“Las expectativas eran altas para el grueso de los presentes, que siguen ubicando el proyecto de Spencer y Cristina en ese compartimento íntimo en el que uno guarda el relicario del rock creíble que sobrevive por el mundo. ¿Actitud? Toda la esperable y más. La apertura, con la diva extremeño-cubana cantando ‘Disgrace’ entre el público, resultó una declaración de principios: españolitos, venimos a enseñaros un par de cosas sobre rock and roll.” – Eduardo Tébar
