Decided to start this thread as I want to know what the Quo Army would really like to see get released, in regards to live shows. Any era, and rank them in your own order of what you would prefer to see released most. Let me know you're thoughts

Heyday obviously, or before? In fact I'm quite content with what we've got, so sad there is no filmed footage (apart from Spain or early Germany).

the 70's and 90's would be great. Shows from 1988 and 1989

Personally, anything that has material we've rarely heard live. And probably in this order. For example, the tour in '75 that had I Saw The Light, Claudie and Nightride in the set. Similarly with '77/'78, '91, '94 and '99 where all manner of tracks from the then current albums were played. An official release of the '71 Swedish radio sessions would be nice. And, despite band reservations, the release of the Milton Keynes gig with whatever overdubs or twiddling are thought to be necessary. Although I appreciate I'm being greedy and I'm also aware that very much of what I'd like probably doesn't exist. But a man can dream Oh, and talking of unreasonable demands, maybe much better quality than those released so far? Most are like so-so quality bootlegs. In mono. With someone shouting in the ear of the person recording the gig in the seat next to them

With someone shouting in the ear of the person recording the gig in the seat next to them This is the sort of response I was looking for! Those early deluxes had stuff supplied by Bob, so blame him for being absolutely no help Nightride wasn't in the set, yet, when they recorded the 4 shows in Feb / March 1975... However, Claudie and I Saw The Light were.

A decent recording of any gig from 1977 RAOTW tour. You Don't Own Me was really good live.

What happened with Mel Kingsnorth‘s archives? I heard he had a large amount of tapes (properly soundboard recordings) and gave it away before he died. So who got it...? I was hoping Bob but the deluxe editions proved me wrong...
Any guess? Cheers

Maybe there being withheld due to the fact that they have not been viewed through the old prism.

Are we talking just audio, or audio and visual?
The one I’ve always wanted is the Milton Keynes gig from ’84. I’d take just an audio release, but would love to have a DVD or Blu-Ray to replace my VHS copy. Particularly as my VHS copy lives in my parents attic and I don’t actually have any way of playing it …
After that, as I’ve previously stated, I’d quite like a full un-edited version of the Butlins gig. Quite a different venue and set of fans to what they were normally playing to at that time in their career, so interesting from that perspective.
Then I suppose it depends on what is in the vaults and is good enough quality to release. If available something from the Heavy Traffic tour would be good, when they seemed to be on a high, the new songs were fresh and included the title track of the album.
Anything post the ’76 Live album with John Coghlan on the drums, that unlike with the deluxe editions, is good quality, would be great. Particularly featuring rarely played songs from RAOTW to NTL.

NEC 12th May 1979, as it's my first gig! Although I've never seen any indication that there's a recording of it Otherwise anything '70-'84 I'd be interested in, especially if it includes songs not commonly occurring in the set list. Better quality recordings are always a plus, but that wouldn't be an overriding factor for me, I'd still be interested regardless! Edit: Also, what about the reunion gigs from 2014? I presume they were all recorded, but there was no Earbook release with them all available for download as in 2013.

Solid Gold and All Stand Up as well. Either from 2001 (when they introduced the latter as Never Say Never) or 2002. I suppose a few of us are simply looking for live versions of songs we don't have. I'd forgotten about 1979 and as dennis suggests, that would be good because Rockers Rollin' and Oh, What A Night would be in there. Rarer than hen's teeth these

Apart from what the others have said (agree with everything): If we're talking visuals I'd love so many things. As mentioned above, the Butlins Minehead from 1990 in full without these horrible overdubs. Or any material that was included in documentaries such as Guilfest 2005 (I know I asked about this before) or stuff from the "Rock on and on and on" documentary I just re-watched recently. Or the Ark Royal gig in good quality. Or, and these would be highlights for me: Neza 2003 and Bulldog Bash 2007 which seem to have been recorded professionally with multi-cams but the versions I got have a terrible quality.
If we're talking audio I'd say anything with rare live tracks on it or really special gigs, don't need the 100th version of all the regularly played songs. What I'd love to hear is December 1986 where Lemmy joined them onstage during BBJ.

With someone shouting in the ear of the person recording the gig in the seat next to them I'm with Mortified here. For live stuff I really would like tracks that weren't played often. Tracks they played when they released their respective album and later were just dropped, to be played never again.
