Here my report from the concert of Status Quo in Loreley, vertaadl with Google translate. 
Good Luck with Reading !!
Best Quo-Freak(s),
Just a Short Break in Germany and particularly in the Loreley.
There it was beautiful and the weather was even HOT.
An excellent stay for these 4 days and close to the festival site.
Here and there a little culture snorted, eaten well and good German beer on. Just_Cuz_13
All the ingredients for a few cool days to the river Rhine.
Around 17.00 hours to crime scene to see how busy it was and we had to park our Car.
Oops, it's been terrible pressure and the various pastures are already full of cars and engines.
Well, we have a good springs and do not even get that far.
That is fine because I'm sitting for quite some time with 'problems with my foot'. 
There are hundreds of, what I say.......... There are thousands of people waiting for the port.
18:00 is the gate open and may we pass inside.
There is even someone faint and needs to be drained, so stupid it was hot.
The water ran off with squirts of my back already.
After the check in.
Shit. ... Shit ..... Shit. doh
We cannot and must not stand in front but stand almost at the back.
I have Never Never not experienced.
The arena starts here with seats and behind the plots.
That is of course real Shit but not insurmountable!!
We are near an English lady who we often have seen a group of
from Sweden (past years met) and Last but not Least........, we are next to Head Bang Animal. letsrock
Well, it will all be fine.
The program is pretty good and still had quite longer.
Nothing wrong with that.
After that it is time for the Status Quo. quofr
We know how the situation between Francis Rossi & Rick is and was and also that not a drop has flow upon the death of his mother and father.
In short, no word on rock God Rick quorp and boss Rossi Announces now Richie Malone also.
The band put in with Caroline and plays a trusted set.
Luckily we still have contact with Rhino and that makes a lot of good.
The atmosphere is good but certainly not exuberant.
Some Germans are about to see if they are present at a cremation.
Little conviviality but a quiet atmosphere.
Excites us not because we have a mega good springs and can go all the way ' loose '.
We do too!!
We are by different people "spotted" and we get many thumb up.
We are even filmed, "Whatever You Want". 
The beginning is, for my wife and myself, difficult and reasonable punishment.
Rick is no longer and that is really final, compared to the last concert in Liverpool, last year.
Once on steam, we well on popping loose and we sing out with it. lets rock
My wife must me occasional curbing, in view of the increase on.
Also the software enjoyed and could our actions.
No drum quojc solo and that was too bad.
At last to ZZ-Top look but that we found all pretty boring.
1 song heard and after 8 numbers are we but left.
That also came partly because of the dark clouds above the Loreley.
Not yet tight on the way back, it started already firmly to Flash and then came the downpours down.
So, we were pretty on time to our B & B gone back.
The rest is not fascinating, the Status Quo was though.
A small tear should blink because it is really a big hole which Rick has left behind. 
Richie does it really terribly well and it is a super nice. ...... but is no Parfitt......... Ready in a Flash!
So, that was in short my little story for what this concert.
There are Quo-fans here who have visited other concerts........ Beautiful, then put it here too.......your story.
Folks, greetings and who knows .... ... until the next concert.
See Ya, A & W ("Will ' o ' the Wisp") 
Rossi POPs one song after the other number and is the show nothing but different.
Rhino quoal sings the songs better now than in 2016 and that's good to know.
Last year helped Andy 
the song Whatever You Want still to SOAP with his voice........ but also that now went a whole lot better.
