I did laugh when he mentioned drugs every night just before 4500times on the Second Reunion tour. Then didn’t mention them when he was being recorded for the dvd.

A bit of a theme developing here!
Francis used the Gene Wilder..."look at that, steady as rock... I shoot with this hand" from 'Blazing Saddles' at the 1982 Princes Trust NEC concert in the presence of HRH Charles.
Francis turned that into how people were asking him if he gets nervous playing important gigs (something like that) and then he held one hand up "look at that, steady as a rock", then he held his other shaking hand up "I play with this hand!".

Francis loves the fart scene in blazing saddles very much and has mentioned it in interviews
Then again, who doesn't??

Fairly sure a couple of quotes from Blazing Saddles made onto Quo records in the studio eg. "good luck" at the start of the track 'Carol' from Never Too Late and "sheriff's coming" at the start of 'What To Do' from On The Level.

I hadn't realised blazing saddles was as old as 1974. I watched it around 82 on a pirate video (remember them?!) and hadn't realised it was an old film

I wonder if it was Frames idea to use the quotes "Let's hear it, turn it up - here is the crunch" from The Italian Job in the drone before Whatever You Want in '89 / '90

The sheriffs coming thing on OTL tells us quite a bit about the band and how humour was a big part of whole vibe
And when it stopped being funny...the end was nigh
Did the band have any happy times after the tax exile year?

I listened to the Radio 2 concert a few years ago and he wouldn't shut up.

I really like the intro to In My Chair "This is something that possibly did a lot to get us where we possibly are..are we somehere?" A typical bit of Rossi insecurity.

I was at that gig and knew the film,made me laugh, but not everybody got it
