It's probably just me.... but there's something wrong when seeing Andy 'creeping' around the stage and walking backwards....it's just not Quo...faaark when I think of the Quo I saw back in the 70s!!! I know, I know plenty of people still love to see this but hmmmm...I guess I'm stuck in the past. :-) Didn't someone say they looked like a bleedin' formation dance team in the 70s?

OMG he didn't make it back to the mic in time at 1m30s cos he was too busy larking about....how utterly utterly hilarious (forced, OTT grins) Unfortunately, though it's not bad ... letting Rhino take lead vocals is a bit sub-professional. He just doesn't have the voice. Sorry Rhino I love you but standing back that is what it looks like. If they want him to "have a go" they should stick to Bad News, at least it's his song. Creepin' is not such a great song anyway. OK Iron Maiden let Steve Harris do backing vocals, but it stops right there

Interesting. What's the name of the group? Not bad as Quo tributes go, but I've seen much better.

Thought I recognised that footage - I filmed it! Windermere gig on 18 June. I remembered the date because it was the 32nd anniversary of my first Quo gig. Ya poor thing.

Fortunately, the stalkerish overtones of Creepin' were balanced out by the political correctness of The Oriental, which received The Guardian newspaper's Song of the Year 2002 award. I think the Oriental overshadowed CUOY for outrageous unPCness and its why I never noticed the stalker qualities before.

Why on earth can't they just put another song in that is actually half decent so Francis can do vocal.
It's worse than embarrassing

I can only imagine it's because they think the song represents the modern CQ style, and it helps the set to flow along with a certain energy?
And they don't need to rehearse it, so they can play it without any effort or concentration. Their muscle memory will be on autopilot.

Creeping (CUOY) should actually be called The Stalker Song... its quite appalling lyrically if you're a woman. I completely agree. There's no need for such appalling sexism. Birds hate that.

It's beyond me as to why anybody would pay to see that.

I've always liked the song, over exposed and overplayed as it is. It's very Rick....making it a very strange song to keep in the set right now
I closed my eyes and I still think it sounds fairly good. With them open, I can barely watch. Glad I stopped at Download 2014

Yes, wasn't it Francis' brother?
