Live at the Brixton Academy is a recording of The Brian May Band's first show in London on June 15, 1993.

The album is an almost complete and unedited version of the concert.

Their performance of John Lennon's "God (The Dream Is Over)" was not included on the album due to copyright issues.

Also, "Back To The Light", "Tie Your Mother Down", "Love Token", "Headlong", "Let Your Heart Rule Your Head", "Resurrection" (in particular, Cozy Powell's drum solo), "We Will Rock You" and "Hammer to Fall" are all slightly shortened on the CD, but appear in full on the 90-minute video of the same event.

The spoken part after "Love Token" has been cut because it contained too many profanities, but it can be heard fully on the unofficial audience recording.
