The "All the Young Dudes" track on "Heaven and Hull" is from the Freddie Mercury Memorial concert, where Ronson himself was suffering from cancer. He appears very thin on the DVD, while still playing blistering guitar. It was his last concert.On the CD notes, there is a striking photo of theHumber Bridge from Ronson's home town and a quote from Sham Morris, one of the album's producers: " During the making of Heaven and Hull, (working title To Hull and Back ) I asked Mick to visualize a characteristic from his home town of Hull. His first thought was the Humber Bridge. The Bridge became very symbolic for those of us working on the album and it was his wish to incorporate it in the artwork. Mick has crossed the Bridge now and left us this swan song. "Track listing
