You've been saying for years and years that Quo are on the decline and let's face it no matter what happens from now, it doesn't really matter, they have done all they need to do and could finish tomorrow anyway. Acoustic 1 was going to fail in the charts, the Radio two gig wouldn't sell out, etc etc The radio 2 gig didn't sell out, they were practically giving the tickets away, apisstic 1 was a financial failure and now they can't sell 700 tickets, wake up Wake up yourself, it looked full enough to me and didn't you bang on about having to cancel it Your passion for CQ to fail has to be commended tho. AQ1 charted far longer than you said it would, and touring it is tough, small venues and a lot of musicians to pay, but yet they still want to do AQ2?

Acoustic 1 was going to fail in the charts, the Radio two gig wouldn't sell out, etc etc But they have been in decline for years. This gig should not happen. No Rick No Quo. Even so, the live shows still sell very well in general, the first Acoustic charted very well also. If it didn't pay they wouldn't still do it. Decline of not, it's not too bad after over 50 years, most anybody else would be long gone. Your right though I would say Rick has to be there, however when they kicked of AQ2 at the beginning who could have known what was going to happen.

Don't think I was suggesting he didn't care, merely making a point if you re-read what I put, showing the difference between the two bands and why one is called status Quo and the other one isn't. You could have done that without the comment about John. I think it's silly to suggest they aren't Status Quo. But these days it is just in name only as they have lost their soul that made them great. Can't argue with any of that. We are very lucky that all the FF are still around and that gave us a chance for the two superb tours they did, but all I was saying previously is why Francis can call his band Status Quo and JC cannot.

The difference is Francis and Rick kept the rights when they won the case to keep the name Status Quo where as JC has thrown some guys together and are a tribute band. These are the facts despite peoples preferences. Rather disrespectful to say John threw his band together. Suggesting he didn't care who was in the band. So did Rhino get 'thrown' in to Status Quo.

Alan, Rick and John won't be at Union Chapel, as you know. The band is not the Frantic Four, nor is it pretending to be. It's current Quo or, as I prefer to call them, Status Quo. I did see John perform on Sunday afternoon at his local pub in Shilton, Oxfordshire, though... No, the band is not Status Quo. One original member (Francis) vs John, who you seen perform. Which one is Quo? What's the difference? Both bands, playing Quo music, with one original member. What's the difference? Both cover bands, both tribute bands. At least with Rick it retained an element of Quo The difference is Francis and Rick kept the rights when they won the case to keep the name Status Quo where as JC has thrown some guys together and are a tribute band. These are the facts despite peoples preferences.

You always go on about the decline but the gigs I go to are still selling well. Aquostic gig on radio 2 sold, albeit a bit slow, but still full. Francis said the Aquostic tour lost money. So why is that their future ? I believe their clientele are 'more selective'. They are getting too old for electric gigs i reckon, so it's probably acoustic or nothing. Too many members to pay as well imo.

4pm...plenty of tickets left for this unique and intimate gig...and you nonlinear need a code...now on general sale.. The decline of this band genuinely saddens me. You always go on about the decline but the gigs I go to are still selling well. Aquostic gig on radio 2 sold, albeit a bit slow, but still full.

I too will be surprised if it does well, I was hoping the band could come up with some new material for a normal guitars plugged in album. Francis just isn't interested or so he says. It's a shame then, I think the fans deserved one more for the road

If it sells anywhere near as well as AQ1, the band will be happy. I'd be surprised if this one gets anywhere close to 100k sales. Novelty has been done and the 'big hit' tracks were covered. Anyway, good luck to them. I too will be surprised if it does well, I was hoping the band could come up with some new material for a normal guitars plugged in album.

It's simple for me, if RP is back for the winter gigs I will go. If he isn't I wont. No need to diss the thousands of fans that still want to go tho, it's all down to personal choice.
