Big brother liked them, and 1982 was played live at my local community centre...there were loads of quo heads in those days and two guys in particular who mimicked frame and Francis ( to a tea).,,anyway the rest is history, gutted that the EOTR concert would be my first and last, and happily it wasn't to be...I like most of you deserved to see the FF before this band finished and my journey may now be complete...don't think so though.. Some of us were lucky enough at least to have been to quite a few FF gigs before the End of the Road tour. So it's understandable how especially strongly some feel about further reunions when the opportunity was limited before the finish came in 84.
A taster of the real deal leaves a massive appetite for more!

I am struck that several posters here got into the band post FF, didn't even know there was an FF. That's pretty cool. I envy all of you your long association with the band, and especially seeing them live. Maybe one day.

RAOTW on top of the pops 1977....first memory of Quo.
3 of us at primary school were into them....the ones dad played in a band who covered Quo and other bands.
We would go to his house after school and listen to his dad's Quo and ELO albums.
1978 got IYCSTH and was hooked until the early 80's when I lost interest in them until 2010 when I got an iPod and started DL all the albums.
They've made some shite....but they've made some classics also.
Never saw them live until 2012 so don't have the memories many do but I like CQ live and I'm just so glad I've seen the FF on both tours.....feckin awesome.

!978 I got into them completely. I had noticed them in 75 with Down down but that went a bit past me, maybe cos i was only 11 by the time I heard it.. in 1978 I saw the clip of Accident Prone (the one with the cars tumbling down) and i thought " what the heck is THAT ? I jumped up from the couch and was glued to the tv ! someone gave me a casette with the albums RAOTW and IYCSTH 2 days later in school and from that moment on I was completely sold. Little did I knw there were better albums even in the back catalogue and some real great albums for me to come with WYW, JS and NTL which remains to be my favorite still, very closely followed by Hello and DOTH. I had the whole catalogue before ROATW within 8 weeks.

No, definitely heads up as I wasn't paying attention to the programme until I heard that opening! |

1994, Thirsty Work  . Then found NTL, BFY, OTL, & JS on vinyl at a record store in a bargain area for $2 each. I liked TW at the time but when I heard Mountain Lady & the rest of that album, I was hooked. |
