Being too young to see the original FF.
My biggest one though? The missed opportunity to revisit their original sound when they 'reformed', and produce some new music.

Been born too late...
Been fortunate to see them all, except ABBA, Rory and Freddie but, if at 4 years of age, I was inspired to be a musician because of seeing Rick do the opening of Caroline, then God only knows how magical it was back then..

Regrets I have a few....
In terms of Status Quo. I regret they chased money instead of integrity.

None.I got exactly what I wanted on disc from 72 to 76 and 23 incredible live performances in London between 1977 and 1984..Selhurst Park was so bad I don't count it.

Might have something to do with the fact Rossi had to be dragged to the stage he was that out of it The whole thing was odd and being a Millwall fan it was the last place I wanted to be.I only went because I won two tickets in the South London Press,quiz answer was,ironically,Marguerita Time.I couldn't get anyone to go with me,my mate who went to all the other Quo shows thought they were now taking the piss out of the fans.The live experience then was really different then,shitloads of dry ice that was great(it's how you knew they were about to come on,it has a certain smell when the fans start pumping it on stage) and loads of green lights...don't know why I remember that so much.They weren't exactly slick either and the hardest working bloke on the tour was the guitar lead untangling bloke.The FF was how they used to sound so don't say you never saw Status Quo at their peak...You did.

As I saw the FF only once, On The Level tour with just the four of them I'll add, I should have video taped the gig. But I only had POMM as a single and and didn't know what to expect. The only problem, it was Rush I went to see as they were the headliners. No ambition to video them so I didn't bring my Super 8mm.
For the FF, oh my, what a great set-list, and I didn't even hear any of these prior.

The missed opportunity to revisit their original sound when they 'reformed', and produce some new music. This. And this. Becoming a fan only in 2004/2005 when I was 14/15. And knowing what I know now, that I never will be able to see them again: I should have gone to the 2013 and 2014 autumn tours in Germany. I skipped the one in 2013 because of the Bula Quo songs being played and because of the high I was on after seeing the FF. And I skipped the 2014 one because I hated it that they played Railroad, BEL and Oh Baby and didn't come up with anything else. And because of the high I was on because of the 2014 reunion tour and...yes, the 2 acoustic shows I went to in October. In 2015 there wasn't a German tour and in 2016 there was no Rick...so the last regular tour of CQ I went to was in 2012, apart from some single gigs over the summer of course. Nowadays I would give nearly everything to see them once more with Ricky hammering out the intro to Caroline...I even would be happy with Oriental and Creepin...

Hi All, Having only seen the FF once I would say not making more of an effort to go and see them at least a couple of times between 76 and the 2013 reunion show I went to, having said that in mitigation Life/Work/Family all had to come first....
Geoff.

Quo by FAR!!!! Just to add to that, I was really into Rush at that time with only 2 albums having been released.

As paradise pointed out,my biggest regret was that Quo chased money first and foremost.
As it turned out were they wrong?
I firmly believe they lacked confidence and conviviction in themselves as a pukka live act.
At the time they really had it all.
And then some.
