Buy a pair of tickets for the winter tour when they first go on sale.
Fast forward to the night of the gig... they get all dressed up... leave the house in the taxi they booked... have a bit of nosh in town beforehand... get another taxi to the venue.... hand over their tickets... arrive at their seats...
"This is going to be fabulous!", says Mrs Smith.
"I concur, darling. Can't wait to hear all those tracks that were on the Aquostic album we bought. Such nice melodies", replies Mr Smith.
"Look at those two over there in leather and denims!" utters Mrs Smith.
"I know! What do they think they're at? A rock concert?!" retorts Mr Smith.
"Shh! We're about to begin!" scowls Mrs Smith.
Quo take to the stage.
"That's a funny looking acoustic guitar", says Mr Smith.
"They're just having a laugh! You know how much this band like to have fun, darling!", Mrs Smith says reassuringly.
Opening riff of Caroline kicks in.
TWO HOURS LATER - IN THE TAXI BACK HOME
"What an outrage! How could Quo be so deceitful?! Do they think we're made of money?! Most of all, my ears hurt!", cries Mrs Smith.
"I know. That guy that kept shouting about the rain was terrible", replies Mr Smith.
"The whole night was terrible!", bubbles Mrs Smith. She bursts into tears.
"Don't cry, darling. I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation".

All jokes about Rhino's singing aside, for people who are not on Facebook or who are of the understanding that since last year's tour was advertised as the last electric tour - which should translate as there wasn't a chance in hell of Quo doing an electric tour ever again - the above is an entirely feasible scenario for many customers and one which I predict will happen.
Hopefully it will be widespread (sorry Mr and Mrs Smith) because it's only what Quo and their management deserve.
