Well I went along hoping to hear my favourite song The Wanderer,that wasn't played for starters.Also the crowd were rather loud,not how I usually remember it and they kept jumping up and down so how was I expected to see anything.The only song I knew was that one about Down something,certainly won't go and see them again no Rockin all over the world and that Army song.I want a refund Cheers

"It was supposed to be a feckin reunion for Christ's sake, they should have played all the old favourites..." Actual quote from a loud complaining woman on the banks of The Liffey after the Dublin gig

I kicked him square in the nuts.

Said it before, U2 made me feel something no other band can when I've seen them live.
Those 3 or 4 nights I went to the FF surpassed it and everyone else. Something about the way those songs were played and it's not about technical ability

Actual quote from a loud complaining woman on the banks of The Liffey after the Dublin gig Her own fault. Went to see U2 playing the Joshua Tree a few weeks ago... People actually complained when they played side two of the album. "Didn't know any of those songs" "Dragged the gig down" It was fucking advertised for 8 months they'd be doing it!! Same way the FF was advertised as songs between 70-76. These people ffs...

Their loss though. I suppose we should feel sorry for those who don't get it....

It was an unforgettable experience and better then any Quo concert I had ever seen. I wasn't around in the seventies for the gigs sadly enough, saw them first in 1982...but this surpassed everything I had seen before with ease.

At Hammersmith 2014, there was a group of 6 or 7 people in the circle, near me who all suddenly left during Blue Eyed Lady, I asked someone just before the encore started if they knew why they left and he said, they seemed to be talking amongst themselves about they didn't know any of the songs and they had 2 'new' band members and the bloke on the keyboards wasn't there. One of the woman in the group was also wearing a 2012 Status Quo Tour Shirt.

David Bowie did a well publicised tour in 1990 in which he retired his greatest hits.It would the last time that he would play them. So when I saw him in 1995,there were numerous people (deepthroat's Mr and Mrs Smith types) who were asking for their money back because he didn't play Let's Dance. Indeed,there were newspaper reports of people actually walking out of the gig after 30 mins or so. Sometimes I understand why politicians hate the general public.
