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... 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. I walked out of a quo gig once after 20 minutes.2015 at the Roundhouse.No more needs to be said Cheers |

To be fair,you lasted 20 mins longer at that gig than I could have managed. |

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. Here lies the reason why Francis and Simon Porter found it so easy to dismiss the FF after the reunions. They would never want casual greatest hits fans to feel alienated as they are the core target market to earn all that lovely cash.
I was unfortunate not to be able to get to either reunion tour, but I have got plenty enough goose-bumps from the plentiful gig footage. Blue Eyed Lady is one of the songs that gave me most goose-bumps without even being there. The idea that people could actually leave during that song is unfathomable doh That takes the expression 'each to their own' on to an untested plain...

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 I know,it was a total fiasco with it's hippy orientated April,String,Bummer and Whatday.I really hated one they did about a Cross Eyed Lady.That drummer was a miserable fucker and where was the pub piano sound that makes them great.No medleys or funny stories about Rick and prostitutes....waste of money and what about those miserable black speakers,what a load of crap for old people!!! |

"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  It seems I wasn't wrong... 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. FFS...what's wrong with those people? And I thought it was bad that Dad and I heard two women complain about the lack of Army after the Dublin gig...  |

Yep, we went past there...well, actually I think we went in for a beer as well. Maybe we heard the same person, because my memory also says it was next to the river on the way to The Pint  |

Spinal Tap: drummer #2 died on somebody else's vomit. "You can't dust vomit." Classic.

Their loss though. I suppose we should feel sorry for those who don't get it.... Nah - Fuck 'em! |
