I was much less careful with my stuff in 1975 than I am now and scribbled the set list down in the programme from the Glasgow Apollo gig. Not in any order, obviously Forty Five Hundred Times was in the set but I can't for the life of me remember much about it. However, I notice that I've written " Gotta Go Home" as a separate song but presumably it was tagged on the end of it. Because it was the first time I'd heard the song live my memory of the night before was presumably playing tricks on me. Which it now does on a daily basis as I try to remember what day it is As an aside, there was also an error in the printed narrative which talks about Quo's success in the "winter of '75". It was still May! See? Quality control even then was a bit hit and miss Never could write that neatly!

I'm less neat a writer now coz I'm so used to typing! Everything's a scribble now. Although the only thing I do seem to write these days is Christmas and birthday cards.
This is the only programme I ever wrote what I could remember of the set on the next day.

No, it didn't, you crunt. * (Kindly reread your opening post.) My first post "Can you remember how long it went on for? It was always overlong I reckon, bearing in mind they played Oh Baby and Blue Eyed Lady in 2013, a shorter 4500 Times would have allowed them to be played." Why am I a Krunt? The version they played during the 1982 tour and EOTR was 20 minutes long.This was followed by Ross's guitar part of about 2 minutes followed by BFM, just shy of 30 minutes I reckon. And if that makes me a Krunt then you're no more than a Futter! Always liked the really long ones and you did ask us 'to correct me if I'm wrong'. The wording of my post was of course completely wrong, but what did you expect from a pished Futter? Peace

I'm not sure, but I think it was around the 15 minute mark. I think the track got longer every tour. It was okay for 9/10 minutes and then it became a bore. After 1977 it was nearly 30 minutes and just two songs, 4500 Times and BFM. I've heard every recorded version and can't imagine it ever being a bore. An hour wouldn't be a bore.

The 10 minute version is about right for 4500 times. A good selection, but I'm not sure if I'd trade 4500x for say Claudie, Mad About The Boy, Oh What A Night & Rock 'n' Roll

Best live song by any band ever. Takes me to another dimension. All the versions are knock outs up to 84 and including the last reunion tour which was short of course but no less dramatic and powerful.
Magnificent. It defines Quo for me, way back and until now. When I think of Quo I think of 4500 Times on stage.
