I always thought ITAN was a strange choice, I remember the original and it was nothing like a Quo song, mind you neither was Quo's version...

Interesting to note that both Francis and John Helliwell are miming out the lyrics for the audience. I wonder if that is a direction or coincidence. I got excited to see songs from Supertramp on the setlistfm. I loved Breakfast in America at the time and still do. So yes, I'd want to see those hits from them.

Did any of you Francis critics complain about Rick's choice of In the Army Now and Rockin' All Over the World when he did the Rock Meets Classic tour in 2015? No. It was and is a Greatest hits compilation brought live to the audience. These songs are not connected to Rick the way they are to LM. And personally, I was darn proud to see that the people in charge took in Rick first, with another hero, Ian Gillan.

They breed faster than nearly any other bird, and can fly vertically upwards from a standstill to a great height. They are among the world's strongest fliers. PS Francis was right about nostalgia. But what's wrong with nostalgia?

Turning his back on the audience too, I find it so ill mannered, If people have paid you to put on a show you do it properly.

I was just about to post that serper. But that video does answer what i have been wondering he is still not singing the lyrics properly and is all half arsed going thru the staged routine. Kind of a hint of what the Karaoke Diet Quo shows will be like this year if thats how he is still performing.

He clearly has not interest in what he's doing any more, and it becomes more apparent year after year

Turning his back on the audience too, I find it so ill mannered, If people have paid you to put on a show you do it properly. As a paying member of the public, just to put the other point of view, I don't find anything offensive about what he is doing there. He's just interacting with the orchestra and other people on stage at the outro section of the gig (or the intro section, I don't know and I don't really care). Most pro musicians are pretty good at paying attention to the audience, and just as well, as the audience (me included) are one big ego on multiple legs and would soon get visibly pissed off it they were ignored. Francis in my experience is one of the best. (I am not into the gurning though. He's always pulled faces, but it looks sillier on an old guy, and meanwhile he does more of it. SIMON, LYAN, lend him a mirror sometime? I don't mind him being an old guy, I am catching up fast.)
