Yep , I know Alan probably cannot manage to play a full Roadhouse Blues , but how weird does it look with Alan just singing and no bass? Just never seen any version of Quo with just a vocalist. Check this out......at the 1.38 mark !

Alan did say that the start of the band splitting up was in their tax exile year of 1978. Where before the 4 of them used to live close to each other, now they all lived in separate countries. He also stunned the audience and Mick Wall when he mentioned that Francis brought his "bit on the side" on one of the reunion tours.. π

Check this out......at the 1.38 mark ! Wow ahah just wow. They don't have their guitars, how odd! xD The whole band is there. Jeff's with a mic singing too. I'd have liked to hear him better, just for curiosity sake. Thanks for sharing!

Sounds like it could have been awkward

Check this out......at the 1.38 mark ! That was interesting. Rossi looked awkward and insecure and his 'jack the lad'/joking approach detracts from his/the performance to a point of it almost falling apart whilst Rick is a consummate professional and carries both of them.

I was thinking she was talking about drink and drugs. But maybe it's women? The plot thickens π€π

Maybe he'd have gotten over it if Rossi didn't keep bringing it up. As for him being stupid about trying to use the name of the band he co-founded, what was he supposed to do? "Sure Francis, go ahead and ruin the band I helped you create." I've co-founded a writing universe and I'll be damned if anybody is using that name without me being part of it. By 1980, the general public pretty much knew Rick and Francis as the faces of Quo as it was always those two doing interviews on TV etc. He had no chance of winning the name and will have known that... Never understand why the general public's perceptions are considered to have any relevance.

Never understand why theΒ general public's perceptions are considered to have any relevance. Β Potential fans, really. Who were / are the GP more likely to see as the faces of Quo? Rick and Francis or Rick, Francis and Alan. Alan stopped doing TV appearances once he moved to Australia as he didnt want to be flying back and forth just for 1 thing. The only time he was present for TV appearances is when the band were on tour. From '86 onwards they made a point of it by using the crossed guitars design or just pictures of Rick and Fran on every release.
