Don't know why this is so funny - re - the thread header. For me its sad. I was always partial to a bit of banter from Francis between songs back in the day. I think its partly what deepthroat suggests, he doesn't know what to say about all the changes etc... But maybe he is missing Rick. And that is why he's quiet. Or maybe he's concentrating on playing again. I'm not there so I can't tell. I can only speak of what I saw. But he was very chatty in Newcastle. Quite alot of banter with the crowd. He clearly has talking points. Always does. Then works around them. Its one of his appealing factors. He comes across as a nice bloke on stage with an open chatty style. Has DT seen this tour ? Or is he simply taking what is posted to fit his own agenda. Which is what most people do conscioncely or not. No, I haven't seen the tour. I'm offering an opinion on why he's, to paraphrase someone else's quotes, "not talking as much". That's right... an OPINION. You wouldn't know about those since you apparently deal solely in facts. It's perfectly reasonable to suggest that Francis is embarrassed talking about the gigs being switched from acoustic to electric because he knows it's a lie that the fans were asked, polled, etc. Why didn't you mention earlier about what you saw at Newcastle? Then it wouldn't be so one-sided about Francis not talking as much and I wouldn't have made the above comment. But did you deliberately hold back so as to get me to post? Wouldn't surprise me.

Get over yourself. I was responding to Curiousgirlโs point. Where your view was mentioned. You jumped in as you thought the facts which were always perception and hearsay, supported your agenda over the Status Quo Manager.

You jumped in as you thought the facts which were always perception and hearsay, supported your agenda over the Status Quo Manager. Jumped in? This thread, or forum, isn't a private club where only you and whoever you decide can contribute. You referred to me in your post to CG therefore I'm entitled to "jump in". Incase you didn't notice, I'm not the one who said Francis wasn't talking as much. I merely offered an opinion why that may be based on what someone else has said. I don't need to have been at gigs to hear what Francis said to have an opinion. Especially when I've backed it up with something Francis has stated many times, i.e. acoustic was the logical progression for the band given the success of the first acoustic album. That an acoustic tour was scheduled even after Aquostic II and its singles (one of them dodgy ) flopped - yes, I'm well aware that Aquostic II reached #7 in the charts but it sold a tiny fraction of what the previous album did - shows that he and Porter thought the demand for acoustic would continue. There is no agenda against Porter. It's just that you don't like what I have to say about him. If you want to disagree with what I say or offer an alternative view, then fine, but like many of the things I've posted recently, whenever you respond your post is along the lines of "Please state the facts! Back it up! You have no evidence!" If there is an agenda, it's the one YOU have against me. The fact that I can provide facts, i.e. the rules for singles, annoys you because you want me to post stuff and be found lacking. Get over yourself? No. Because you are a sneak.

Top ten Rossi lines between songs:
1. I like this one -before or during Wild Side of Life 2. Something we wrote in about 1900-Forty Five Hundred Times 3. Forget where we are up to , I have them written down - but I can't read them !- usually about the time of Little Lady 4. You know this one , but you know them all 5. Something from the ...erm ...probably ..erm Live album 6. How are you - alright! after third song but now often said with Helllooowwa and said in an indifferent manner 7. Something we wrote when on speed , cannot play it as fast / Rick was locked away and came back with this, ...anything from Blue For You 8.? 9.? 10.?
feel free to add your faves

The same gab on every tour, before/after/in between the same songs. It's just a script. A boring one at that.
