BobVbass Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 So I'm off to see the proper Quo on Friday (and Saturday ) at Hammersmith just been looking at the you tubes of Wolverhampton and Manchester and they look in brilliant form; Nuff despite his illness and frailty can still bloody play and (all respect to Rhino) the soul seems to have returned to the band. No rocking all over the world, no margeritas or oriental or bridges just pre '74 songs played the way they should be - and April Spring Summer and Wednesdays in the set as well I can't wait til Friday Quote
Delberthot Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Saw them on Sunday at the Academy in Glasgow. Absolutely fantastic. I would've paid the ticket money just to hear them play Big Fat Mamma. Alan is looking a bit frail and Rick was a bit red and sweaty but what a performance. John still looks just as frantic on the drums as he always did. If you like the early Quo then you'll love it. I wish I was going to see them again Quote

BobVbass Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) yes great album, as was Hello and Quo, Blue for you as well; real variation and some great songs - A year from Piledriver is about as far from the stereotypical Quo song as you could get. It's easy to forget with the 90s pastiche they became just what a fine rock band they were in the 70s - they were quite a shock to the quaint music scene at the time and you could argue gave punk a bit of a feeder as well. It all started to go wrong with Rockin all over the World...damn you Fogerty Edited March 12, 2013 by bob_pickard Quote
Cosmo Valdemar Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I was offered a ticket for the Hammersmith gig on Friday but had to decline it as I've got a family 'do'... Seriously gutted. Quote
BobVbass Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 bring them along - the car park under the flyover has lovely views and you'll only be a couple of hours or so Quote
paulconnolly Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Manchester gig was excellent. A real nostalgia trip. Low points - no Caroline of Softer Ride but plenty of good stuff though. Quote
