They have paid tribute to Rick..they have added “Don’t Drive My Car” (all be it the acoustic version, what a load of shit that version is) and “Little Lady” sung by Richie Malone. That’s there tribute to Rick.
I don’t know why they couldn’t of put a big screen up at the back of the stage & play Rick doing the intro to Caroline than at the start of every gig.
I just find it very sad how cold Mr Rossi is.

Interesting examples of Lemmy tribute and Jon Lord.
I think the difference is - and this pains me to say it - I think they were bigger stars than Rick.
Lemmy was Motorhead to the non-fan like me. He was a pioneer of metal rock, wasn't he?
Jon Lord was a musical pioneer in two early rock bands - Deep Purple and Whitesnake.
Yes, Rick was Quo, but along with Francis. And we know how important he was to the Quo sound. But in terms of developing rock music as an art form, he wasn't as big as Lemmy or Jon Lord. Sadly.

And we know how important he was to the Quo sound. But in terms of developing rock music as an art form, he wasn't as big as Lemmy or Jon Lord. Sadly. You make, interesting points. Lemmy is a rock icon. Musically as much as I like much of the music Motörhead don’t think he was a pioneer. His band certainly never approached the heights of Quos success. What’s maybe interesting is no one else sounds like Motorhead just like no one really sounds like Status Quo. As for John. A pioneer I think so. But not someone who fans outside of the band would really know. But I think what is really important are the views of those who knew them and were in a position to put on a memorial. The tributes came about not because of their influence or fame, but because people who have the power to put on an event wanted to do so, they wanted to put on a show to share with the fans and each other. I think in that you have your answer to why there wasn’t a tribute show.
