Great pics, that sums up the crowd reaction to the Quo gigs at that time, not just Glasgow. It's a slight worry that these fans would certainly be in their late 50s or early 60s, so they might be the 'Mr and Mrs Smith' that now bring their grandchildren to the current Quo gigs!

I think that is exactly who Mr and Mrs Smith are.
But I also think that many of these couples are the people who did see Quo in the 70's - maybe once or twice. The fervent 70's hardcore largely had fallen away by the late 80's.

The last time I experienced this sort of thing was in 1984 at a gig in Holland sadly enough. by 1986 things were already changing and the next time i went to a gig in 2008 it had completely changed.

I was in the back in 2014 and there I saw mainly people standing still or tapping feet... but I assume it was different in the front rows

Victor, you are correct. I was right down the front. It was mayhem but in a good way!

I was at both of the '81 gigs at the Apollo. But I'm not in the pics. I'd never have gone topless. Shameless that
