I always felt Big Man was a filler, probably the weakest track on the album, but after watching the band play it on that show last night on YouTube, it suddenly comes to life. Actually watching Alan sing it, the song actually has great character, and I could almost imagine it as a single. I suppose this highlights the power of actually seeing the band perform it even though it was mimed, it didn't seem to matter, Quo normally mimed on Top of the pops so it was nothing new. I think this is where the lack of shows like Top of the pops these days impact greatly on some artists. Their physical presence is vastly missing. How often do you see an artist actually promote their new music on a tv show these days? It's almost zero, or done late at night at the end of a chat show or something. For years I didn't know what most of the artists in the charts recently looked like, all I knew was they are on the radio a lot, but clueless what they looked like. So watching Quo play Big Man last night 42 years after it came out on the album has transformed the way I hear it, and now it's gone from filler to killer in my opinion. I can't say that would work for every below average song, but for me it has for Big Man.

I'd like to hear the actual Quo recording of Jealousy. Alan assumed, and I believe he's correct, they ended up using the Rossi/Frost recording (you can tell by the drum machine) and the band's version wasn't released... Of course there's only so much you can do with a bad song.

I hate it. I put on 1982 and was ok with the first three songs and then this shit.
