It is that it’s not that great. It is made of average Status Quo songs that ok could have been in the set once in a while but simply put I really dont need to hear Something about you baby, the later period songs are poor. Surely they have written something better in the last 30 years. The medley is poor, surely they could insert classic songs.
The encore is appalling. Mind you it has been for years.
It is to single heavy and when they choose non singles they are often not the best choice.
I can’t believe so many were taken in for so long.

It's all down to laziness. They can't be bothered to take the time out to try new things, or at least put the set in a different order. I watch a lot of pub bands and they are always changing their set and the members of these bands have full time jobs, before driving to the venue, setting up, playing, packing their equipment away and driving home.

According to FB, you're a "prick" or a C.U.N.T for saying the setlist is stale.
And they say fans of the older band give abuse?!

Now whilst I don't agree with everything that has been said about the current band. This is something that's been bugging me for a long while and is why I have not gone and seen them for a long long time. The set is tired and needs a major overhaul.

The problem with the set is that it DOES only have three chords in it these days.

They need to separate the 'big 4' for crying out loud... that section is so fucking boring and has been that way since the early 2000's.

ROLD DOWN DOWN WYW RAOTW Indeed ROLD 2nd was a great position for it. The gigs I saw I used to feel that TW and SBYBIL were a bit of a let down after the high of Caroline.

Will never understand why it was thrown into the middle of the set. It was put there in 1997/98 for the Whatever You Want tour for the first time in their set after it's absence for a few tours and should never have stayed there. I'm still a bit miffed that the Frantic Four never played it on their reunion tours

I think a new opener is needed, Caroline though a great song is played out.

For me it's still my favorite track from the band. Though Francis mucking about during the solo grates on me at times these days.

Doesn't seem to matter what they play. There is little interest.
Rossi's band are apparently touring at the moment (and playing Manchester tonight-'plugged in' and other places after) Checked availability a few days ago and over half the tickets were available in large parts of the arena.
There is neither comment, interest on this site or on the other side which must be a statement of sorts.
Nobody (or few) seem interested even on Status Quo related sites!
