Thanks Victor, I know you think that, but some posters have been known to resort to name calling... I just think we should all be able to make our points without fear of ridicule.

Yes at the moment I am going to Brighton. No doubt derry will call me a **** but I don't care. I am under no illusions. It will not be Quo as I would wish it as No Rick is basically No Quo. But it will be the last time I see Francis (unless by any miracle Rick recovers enough for a reunion special in 2017 or 2018 ??). Could be a reunion ploy.They've had so many line ups they could be reunioning,what a word,for years to come FF in 2017 FF and Andy 2018 Status Quo with Pete 2019 Status Quo with Rhino and Jeff 2020 Status Quo with Matt 2021 Status Quo with #5 2022 Status Quo with Freddie They'll be going for years yet and what with the medical advances of the future they'll be able to grow a new Rick,a healthy non macho melodic Alan and a jolly John.

The only way i would go again is if some miracle happened and there would be an ff reunion... This is where I am with Quo too. Last time I went to see the post 85 line up was 2010 I think, I supported them up to Quid Pro Quo, thought they had really turned a corner with Heavy Traffic, live sound with Matt etc, but then Matt leaving, the 2013 reunion gigs and the release of Bula Quo, I completely lost interest in what the new line up was doing and have been ever since then really. I went to 4 reunion gigs during 2013/14 and came out of all them with the feeling of that's the version of the band I want to follow for their remaining years, that's the band I want to buy into. I'm still hoping for a Rick recovery and future FF stuff in 2017 or beyond. I take a lot of what Rossi says with a pinch of salt. I think he probably realises that he has, for the most part, wasted the last 20-30 years of the bands life, but can't bring himself to say so and attempts to belittle the classic line up to make himself look or feel better about the last couple of decades. I do still love Rossi though, he's still a rock god to me in many ways, he can be SO f*****g good in a blues rock way, but that's what frustrates the hell out of some of us Quo fans with how he is now. Nothing against him recording his pop or country stuff, but I think do it under HIS name and if they are going to try and continue for the next few years as this new line up, then now is the time to do it under HIS name and not Status Quo. Nothing against anybody who goes to see Quo now though, you go and enjoy it, I'm just not paying to see that version of Quo.

Ah, but will synthetic quo be real quo? By the way, shouldn't the 2017 reunion include Roy?

I went to see the new quo last in 2009 and actually still enjoyed QPQ. From Bula Quo on I totally lost interest in the new line up.

I am going to Birmingham. If they hadn't been giving refunds I would have been looking for a cheap Liverpool ticket as well.
