Last night was the worst turn out for a Status Quo gig I can remember. It holds 2195. Last year at the arena they pulled at least 3000 maybe more my mates told me. Last night at most there were 1400 there maybe less. I took these pictures a few minutes before the start. I accept a few people will have filed in just before the start. I will write a review later as I am still tired from the going out last night and the drugs I am on.

So much for changing the Tour, sorry I mean gigs, (as they've finished touring) from Aquostic to a full rock set, due to overwhelming demand.

Please don’t forget there was no demand for more Frantic Four activities after April 2014.

I got a phone call off a mate who had free tickets asked if i wanted 2, i only live 25minutes drive from the city hall but to honest i had absolutely no desire to go whatsoever, my last Quo gig was Dublin 2014 & it will remain that way, i`d rather go and see JCQ or one of the really good tribute bands thats around. Sad times for a once brilliant band, time it was knocked on the head or certainly named changed to Francis Rossi`s Status Quo.

Diminishing returns all round,they couldn’t sell out 1600 capacity Reading Hexagon last week, Still,I cant wait for the new full on rock album and new set list to go with it,none of those awful songs from the 70s that Rossi hates. Just material from the past 30 years,it’s what the true fans want. They will be back on top and rockin then Cheers

Sad that it has come to this. Quite depressing really....

It is well deserved, a farewell tour without goodbye, continue with Rick as nothing happened, change from unplugged to electric with no chance for the people to change their tickets and a setlist that is from the time between world war I and II.......
It is a wonder that there are still some people in the venue.

What a sad and pathetic state of affairs particularly when compared with the scenes at Hammersmith just 3 years ago. It's as if that never happened.
Well done though for showing us the truth. Greatly appreciated

Sad to see those empty seats.
I do wonder if the change from Aquostic to Electric wasn't communicated well enough, and along with the higher ticket prices. Aren't the electric gigs nearer the £40 mark? And many people are feeling the pinch financially too these days.

I live here Detroit, and whilst I see your point, many people have a lot less money these days due to Brexit and lack of good jobs. They might have gone for the old ticket prices but not for the higher ones, especially without Rick.

I'm sticking with people just not interested in them nowadays.
