On reflecting on the tour when Blue Eyed Lady and Oh Baby were added to the set, Rhino said they were not what Quo were about now.
So why is Backwater any different?
IMO, the only reason it is in the set is to piss people off.
Rhino knew the reaction he would get if he "sung" one of Alan's songs. He was hurt by how people reacted to him "singing" Rain and this is his way of getting back at them.

Getting Rhino to “revive” any classic Rick or Alan vocal is like getting your local painter’s apprentice to restore the Sistine chapel with a tin of white emulsion and a paint roller…….

For me it wasn’t so much about Rhino singing rain, hard as it was to watch as the song is 100% Rick Parfitt, rather it was the whole band business as usual, just farming off all Rick’s ‘bits’ to everyone else as if nothing had happened. That’s really one of the things I’m so angry at the band for. |

I remember years ago a certain Mr. Rossi saying that "If either he (Rick) or I die, that's it, the Band stops", or words to that effect. We now know that to be a blatant untruth...

"years ago" is the clue as to whether or not there was any truth in Francis' statement when he said it.
The vintage rock market and demand for either the original bands or spin-offs playing music of that era is still strong. It is easy for me to see why he has changed his mind, if he made this comment many years ago. If he said it more recently, then I could feel angry at their still continuing to play. If it was a long time ago, then times/views change and he wants to keep working/earning a living.

This shite has been going on for years and years.
Rick singing songs that Alan always sang. For me it was always wrong. Remember when Rick sang Backwater... wrong wrong wrong. But that’s just me.
