I dunno if I'm in the minority here or not but his lighter vocal approach he had early on, album version of the above being a prime example, was far better suited for the music.

There are many more undiscovered ( by us anyway) clips and footage of the Frantic Four out there. I bloody know there is! Well, I didn't know that some of the interviews and that little clip from 1981 even existed until the Hello Quo doc came out, so, I think there's a little light...But I think is very very tiny. But, who will know that in 2023 we finally get the Big Fat Mama video from America in 74!

BFM needs that aggression after the mid section. Alan probably should have done it if you prefer Rick's light voice

Yeah mate, seen that a long time ago. Would’ve been brilliant live at a gig but that was broadcast on tv when they were trying to break America. Ricks voice was faaarked unfortunately. Yanks would’ve been thingking WTF!! 🤦🏻♂️😂 I mean Quo back then were just incredibly LOUD and got away with lyrics etc, but nonetheless simply a brilliant live band. Defo a world class band that never got there.
