There is no way I think that any comparative 'au revoir' would be linked in any way to the FF swansong in 84. Although the management don't appear to care about fans concerns regarding their attitude towards live shows, they are not daft enough to attempt such a link - bearing in mind polaricly different views sections of fans have about the different eras.
Its a pity though, because I think if CQ were to embrace their own music much more widely I think it would act to satisfy not only those who are fans of their back catalogue but I think they would earn much higher respect from completely alienated fans from the FF era.
My own position is that I am a biggest fan, first and foremost, of the FF era (I was 'born' into it in terms of when I became a fan) but I am also a fan of the CQ back catalogue. However, I am thoroughly alienated by the CQ.com attitude to live shows and priorities in general.
Taking into account the fact that CQ et management don't seem bothered about how their attitude is affecting large sections of long standing fans (presumably because they have enough modern era ones) then, hypothetically, I would highly welcome some breakaway activity that is FF related. Even if I think as above it is unlikely to happen.
Maybe Rick should just do it anyway! Who really cares anymore
The Status Quo brand is so heavily diluted now, based on various contorted re-constitutions of re-packaging hits over and over again that it has become like eating a shop bought prettily packaged, but largely synthetic over manufactured Lasagne, in contrast to the original Hunters style peasant dish origins of the dish which was sourced from scratch and served to the table fresh and packed with authentic flavour.
Oh to be an Italian mama preparing the hunters offerings in her open rustic Tuscan kitchen for the household meal, than heating up a packaged 'family of four' modern day offering in the microwave What I would like to see is an album from these guys, even if it's of already recorded stuff. I'm not sure how much touring they could do in support of such a thing, but the album itself could be great.

We want a few aggressive raw 'in your face gigs' with a few surprise tracks thrown in , a album will never happen , a few gigs mights .

These guys all have material that hasn't been properly recorded, some really good songs that need the three of them to bring to life. Rick's '999', for example. Or 'Halloween.' Or one of AL's demos that I haven' seen recorded anywhere. Or maybe one of Rick's songs that was butchered by Quo 3.
