Just watching a video on Quo's facebook from Roubaix of Twenty Wild Horses. I would be over the moon to hear this live again (first show was Under the Influence Tour 1999). In My Chair is always a favourite. Hope they keep these for UK dates in a couple of weeks!

powerage what I saw from YouTube Guildford looked one of the better gigs in terms of the crowd. I think southend there were large areas directly in front of the stage with people sat down!
Everyone was stood up for most of it, new songs weren't particularly well received but thats to be expected at a show like this. I was pleased they played 4 as usually you get 2 at most! Some good QUO chants went round the room as well.
Quite surprised as there was a reasonable amount of young people there too.

Was at Guildford saturday night. Laurence Jones was fantastic. Haven't seen Quo since Reading 2017, normally see them every year. So much has happened since then but the sheer joy of hearing the drone to signal the start of the gig was wonderful. I enjoyed the new songs, especially Liberty Lane. Maybe having a break has done me some good. Hope the rest of the tour goes well, considering Wembley in December if I can scrape a few quid together!

This is really amazing, so much footage I'd never seen before. Some different edits, camera angles etc. Just seeing the band walk on stage, hang around for a minute then start Caroline was worth it alone. Fantastic.
My wallet is ready to be opened for any official product of this show, just saying!

Saw JC's post about this first thing this morning before heading out.
Awful awful news. Thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.
Thanks for everything Nuff, I finally fulfilled my dream of seeing the 4+1 at Hammersmith Apollo 15th March 2013, to see Alan on that same stage as the others was like all my Christmas' at once.
Time for some Quo live.
R.I.P Alan

Steven Wilson comes across as extremely pretentious IMO (putting it lightly), let him tinker with prog albums.
He's very prolific as a musician, released loads of albums and been apaart of a decent number of projects / groups.

Assuming it's the same one, he's interviewed Oasis / Gallagher's a fair few times over the years and may have presented an old music programme like The Tube or White Room or something years ago.

The Rolling Stones have the From The Vault Series. Maybe Quo could have the As It Happens series or something.
I'd like to see a mixture of Record Store Day releases, box sets and general releases.
Milton Keynes Bowl 1984 would be the dream for me personally. CD & DVD of the complete concert but will happily take whatever is available.
Rock Til You Drop 1991 - all 4 concerts and the documentary plus whatever is available CD & DVD. Whilst Rick has passed, I'd like to see a memories segment from Francis, Rhino, Andy and Jeff, Chris Tarrant plus any crew. The logistics and staging is fascinating. Maybe a book to go along side it.
Olympia New Years Eve 1975 - I believe it was recorded for a radio broadcast, any chance the masters exist?
Reading Festival 1972 / 1973 / 1978 / 1987
Perhaps could be a compilation of rare live tracks if whole shows don't exist but...
I don't want any more audience recordings officially released, there must be soundboard recordings dating back years.
Without upsetting anyone, after about 2007 the setlist hasn't changed so draw the line there.

I've been collecting the new deluxe sets but have to say I'm disappointed all the live material is coming from bootlegs. By the sounds of it there is plenty in the archives that could be used that would be upgrades on what we've been getting. I appreciate that Quo never really stopped and thought about capturing themselves for posterity, very short sighted for a band of their size but can't turn back the clock.
With Quo slowing down, now would be the perfect time to start looking at getting some of these old shows released but I appreciate that it's not the same as a new Bowie release or Prince box set where the budget is unlimited and they'll sell tens of thousands of units across the world.
I hold out personal hope for End of the Road complete soundboard / video. Plus I've always been a huge fan of the Olympia 31/12/1975 gig, my dad went and i loved his tape as a kid. Might be something to do with I Saw The Light being in the setlist...
Thanks for all the info Quoincidence, very interesting reading through your comments. Hoping for some good Quo live swag in the near future.

Agree totally with that sentiment Powarage, I saw the Roses at Heaton Park on their 1st reunion, Etihad 2nd, (both were awesome btw),& Wembley 3rd, and the last one was not a total let down BUT..., had nowhere the same anticipation/energy of the first 2 reunions for both band & fans alike...(imo)... Didn't expect to meet a fellow Roses fan on this board, great stuff! I did Finsbury Park and Wembley Stadium being a southerner. Amazing shows, to see John Squire and Ian Brown together was a dream come true. Same applies to the Frantics. I've had a rough year and it's put some things into perspective for me, these are just bands we're talking about, they come and go, but I'm just grateful I had the opportunity to see them.
