I am pretty sure, no matter what the article says, that NO-ONE 'hooked thumbs tight into jeans waistbands and began that strange, nodding dance'.

Saw this tour in The Duchess in Leeds (now sadly gone). One of my top 3 gigs ever along with Zep at Knebworth and Slade at The Mayfair Newcastle. They were absolutely brilliant.. I've never seen a tighter band. It always makes me laugh when I hear people say that tribute bands playing in pubs are just as good as the real thing - if you saw the real thing in a pub you just might change your mind!!!!

That’s me next to you, well you can see the side of my head anyway. Excellent gig, some of us never won tickets Diehard, cost me £50 as you know. Worth every penny though. Hot sweaty loud gig.

Missed out on the Glasgow gig probably because I never read The Sun. Or any other newspaper for that matter  I had no idea the pub tour was on until it was too late. Tried to blag my way in saying I was one of the Super Furry Animals. They were having none of it  |

Try to get a ticket for the Ruskin Arms pub in East Ham, but didn't really stand a chance.
The London pub is known for being the home of Iron Maiden.

I managed to sneak into The Ruskin Arms in London, had a memorable afternoon in there meeting Mike Paxman for the first time (after helping him out with the Quo website back in the day) and enjoyed a drink with Rhino. Packed gig, another of those "one off" Quo experiences!
