I do seem to recall from looking at this venue when the gig was announced that the tickets were incredibly expensive, something like £150 plus, the VIP Boxes were in the 1000's so this will probably be a major contributory factor.
What amazes me from watching that clip is just how many people are still arriving and being seated during the first song! Very strange

That's a shame, but it's not strange, it was in Marbella, with ticket prices at least of 100€. I'm sure if they play in another spanish city, the reaction of the public would be other.
I remember my only (and unfortunally last) gig in Madrid, in a festival, and by the time they played ROLD, the audience went nuts (doing air guitar or jumping...except for me, I was doing both).

I find the fact that these guys can play in front of a giant sign that says 'Accept No Substitute' totally bizarre quite frankly!
You could just about argue that it was still Status Quo when Rick was there, but there is no way on God's Earth that this band is Status Quo!

I wasn't sure about the whole accept no substitute thing, as to what it meant? Aside from maybe a dig at the reunion gigs, what 'substitute' was there that we shouldn't accept?

Looks like 100 to 150 people in the crowd....

For over 30 years this band styling itself as Status Quo has been shuttling between tragedy and farce and a national joke. Although it would not seem possible it has now gone even beyond this with rotating, almost cardboard cut out dummies, amateurs, invited to play amongst a permanent band of session musicians and only one original member in a karaoke style covers band.
You could not write the demise of this band, 30 years of mediocre music, the awful covers albums, Coronation Street, cheesy stunts, Bula, aquostic, Rhino and Andy prancing about stage like pricks....etc etc etc ...what further step to decline will they take next? And the con trick of getting away with it is simply amazing but most of the audience don't know they are being conned or even care and probably know very little about Status Quo. It is all very sad really,
My love of a band has moved over the years from disappointment to disliking them intensely but i have to keep reminding myself that it is not Status Quo, that great band ended in 1977.

Just deleted by admin don't waste my time. Rockon the rest of you. Wilquo Yes I do dislike this Francis Rossi sham of a band and have moved on, do not buy any of their product, do not go to see them etc., but I still like Status Quo and do not need you to assess what I have done with my life or what to do with my life. It grates with me that Rossi hates the Status Quo from the classic era and yet cannot survive without playing tribute to it and morons follow him and think that he, Rhino and Andy are Status Quo. He may be legally entitled to use the name but in spirit and recorded output he and they do not come even fractionally close to THE Status Quo. He has proven himself not to have much musical talent or creativity outside of the confines of the original band and to be not a very nice human being, which also is some thing I never thought i would think, but increasingly his personality is coming across as twisted and hateful.

Obviously pro-filmed and initially with good sound quality until Rossi started singing, then it became all vocal and piano with everything else in the background - very strange.
That green thing of Rossi's sounded terrible
