These days I just about only listen to Quo records between 70 and 75.

I have just recently pushed the boat out and replenished my Quo with the RAOTW and WYW album .Enjoyed them -particularly the re-mix of Hard Time. Apart from Live stuff , I only listen to a very similar period to you. I have tried the later stuff and maybe some tracks off Just Supposin' and Never Too Late might have worked live , without the backing singers and organ, but after that ..... well... I find it just a tad lacking and monotonous . As I packed in after 1984 and only went to see CQ out of curiosity , I don't mind CUOY Live and I am sure some of their other stuff might work on stage , but album wise its a big no , no from me . Quo are a live band and its just a shame that there is so much stuff that could work on stage ...but it would appear that we'll never ever know. I include both FF and CQ periods in that last sentence. So tired of listening to the title tracks in the set of the last two albums I have replaced its just not true.
Started listening to JCQ on You Tube and appreciate some of the stuff that they do ( I posted what I thought were excellent versions of Roadhouse Blues and Forty Five Hundred Times , which morphed into Slow Train, Umleitung and Gotta Go Home, without sounding like one of those freaking annoying medleys) . Whilst I have not yet had the opportunity to see them live, I think its arguable , and probably true in my case, that they now present a stage show which is more akin to the Quo I like than CQ do. This is certainly true of the clips I have seen of Rossi fronting the brand this summer and to a lesser extent the gigs post 2006 that I have been to with Riok.
Quo to me were never about SBYIL , The Wanderer ,and all those other bum, in my opinion, tracks that have snook into the set towards the end of my first period -they were after all the tracks that initially turned me away. When I came back to hear those still in the set, together with Burning Bridges and the like, well, they have kyboshed me wanting to go see CQ again. So as a Live music fan , I will almost surely miss Last of the Electrics Tour (with or without Rick) and hope to see you all out somewhere with JCQ. Just need to convince Spud to do some gigs up here. 2013 and 2014 were the end for me. Its just such a shame its all looking like its fizzled out. Surely one more Quo huddle in front of the drum riser.......bye bye , c'mon with the band , bye bye !
Cheers
Harold

I'm not listening to much at the moment. But I'm waiting for the retirement special with footage starting from the fiskadelic period and then moving onto previously unreleased recorded jam sessions and gigs from the start of the 70s when they tore up the script and started playing blues boogie. Moving on then to the success of the trenchcoat movement and the arrival of Colin Johnson and Piledriver. Hopefully some footage of the Vertigo deal. Also footage from The Great Western Festival and Reading in 72 - and not forgetting the wonderful Marquee letsrock
That would be Part I.
Part II coming soon... |

Dog through to NTL plus the reunion tour CDs. An occasional airing for QPQ but skip all but 4 or 5 songs.
However, as always the mighty Piledriver dominates my Quo listening.

The entire spectrum pretty much with one or two albums not really getting any airplay. I don't listen to the late 60's stuff either. It's just not for me.
I've just got hold of the 6 deluxe editions so they'll be getting a regular 'spin' for a while. I did have an mp3 of Now Hear This taken from vinyl but the sound wasn't great. Be good to hear it properly. I do remember way back in the day when I first grabbed it, there was quite a difference.
So I suppose in summing up, I listen to everything they released from 1970 onwards with the exception of most of the 90's and the covers albums. I don't listen to huge amounts of live stuff, especially the more recent recordings because they're virtually all the same.

Ma Kelly onwards, with Piledriver getting the most airtime by a considerable margin. I rarely spin the 80s stuff at all, just occasionally out of curiosity. HT onwards yes, but I don't enjoy QPQ much, I'm perplexed to know why, I just don't. (And I don't have Bula.)
But I am much more likely to stick on a live recording, any live recording.

Thirsty work.... NOT! It always depends on what is going on in your life at the time so this album is rather special for me. Of course it was well before the internet and hearing that Quo fans {not that there was any real Quo fans left that this stage} thought that the album was crap. I'm still proud to be an all rounder but at the moment I'm pokling around the late 70's b-sides. |

RAOTW remix has been getting played an awful lot since it came out last December....I love it, it has really revitalised the album for me. I was also playing Aquostic Live at the Roundhouse quite a bit earlier in the year, I found it far more listenable than the studio version (and it has Rollin Home on it)!
POMM and Spare Parts never get played as I don't have them on CD, If You Can't Stand the Heat, The Party Ain't Over and Don't Stop rarely get spun these days, but everything else gets played; the 70's album and Under the Influence onwards far more than the 80 - 96 period.
