(hopefully better than the usual terrible mobile phone audio most on here seem to enjoy critiquing the band's performances from). You mean Rhino actually sings like Sinatra?

There is not a one mobile phone on the market that can make an actual quo gig sounding good.

The second gig of the mini-tour of the Canary Islands saw Quo playing the Gran Canaria Arena in Las Palmas on Saturday 26th May. The impressive arena sits next to the large football stadium and is a modernist piece of architecture with a nice open seating area out the front, perfect for enjoying some Spring Canarian sunshine before the doors opened right on 7pm. We noticed some promo around the city (but not to the same extent as in Tenerife), which was good to see as the arena claims a capacity of almost 10,000! The support band were a Tenerife outfit by the name of "Ni 1 Pelo de Tonto" and they did a really good job of warming up the audience. They played to a very sparse room for the first few songs but, by the end of their 45-minutes or so, they had a good crowd on their feet enjoying the show. They mainly sang in Spanish but the energetic lead singer occasionally dropped in some English comments and they went down really well. Both support bands in the Canaries were high quality actually. Due to their later start, it would be almost 9.30 before Quo took the stage. The drone started with the full house lights still on and it was clear from the start that this was going to be a very different crowd. All the front standing area got up immediately and some of us headed to the barrier - without any interruption from security this time! (I say "barrier" but it was actually just poles and ropes between them, so even more surprising they let us stay up there) By the time Quo appeared, the venue was buzzing and I'd guess the crowd at 3000-4000 (the top sections were curtained off but the raked seating was much more populated than in Tenerife and the standing area was also much more crowded). There were no changes in the set, but the vibe was completely different and the band definitely fed off the more involved audience here, with Francis being much more chipper between songs. The whole band seemed to have a ball - Francis's solos remained excellent, Richie's vocals get better each night, and Leon, Andy and Rhino all played well too. This was a ripper gig, great audience, sensible security and the band feeding off the amazing reception. It was great to see such obvious promotion of the band across the two Canary Islands and the decent crowds they pulled in for both of the shows. Thanks to a promoter for taking a chance on bringing the band to that part of the world, with two solid support acts as well. This will probably be the one and only time Quo play on the Canary Islands so it was awesome to be part of it - from the strange Tenerife gig to the ripper Gran Canaria show!

When do they play Benidorm ?.....go down a storm at Neptunes Benidorm the TV programme would be more appropriate. Cheap, talentless, unfunny, insulting, run by amateurs... The comparisons are endless.

What was different about BBJ then ?Have they decided to play it in full for once ? Cheers (hopefully better than the usual terrible mobile phone audio most on here seem to enjoy critiquing the band's performances from). It's par for the course on here though and it ain't likely to change. You just keep enjoying the gigs mate.

I seem to remember you were among the likes of Fisherman and Teleboogie, who criticised the FF, on the first night in 2013, from a mobile phone clip, which last 14 seconds, that was filming the lights and not the band, on the original board.

I have never and would never criticise the FF, so you remember wrong FW. The gigs I went to were top notch and I would have attended a third tour in a heartbeat. It just strikes me that most people on here criticise the current band in numerous different ways, numerous different times and it's let's face it how many times do people need to say it.

You could say the same of those on here who blindly praise the band.
