It's forbidden in my country... Doesn't let me watch it.

Filmed at the Union Chapel, Islington, at the warm-up gig for the Hyde Park appearance two days later.

Yeah, Union Chapel. Strange acoustics. Not sure I've seen this either. They actually played the song twice. Or was that just Hold You Back? I can't quite remember  We only travelled down for this gig. Didn't go to Hyde Park. Saw it on the telly though. |

'That's A Fact' just doesn't sound good on that acoustic version. Only played 5 seconds of it.  |

Don't like that at all. Forgotten all about it until I saw this.
No vibe, no character, vocal is delivered without any feeling. Feels like it's superglued together

The single version, which is obviously what's playing here to the live footage, misses out the bass solo after Francis does his thing. Which is a pity coz it's rather nifty  I like the Aquostic version, I must admit. I think the original is probably my favourite Blue For You track these days. Although it never used to be. People have moods  |

Yeah the original That’s a Fact is one of my favourite Quo tracks full stop. It’s just got an amazing Groove and the vocal has a great hook !
I live the Bridge and solo break in it as well. All round great track !
My favourite from BFY.

It was a novelty to hear a Quo "deep cut" given the acoustic treatment, rather than another hit single, but yeah, when you listen to the two "That's A Fact"s back to back, the acoustic version falls very flat. If you'd never heard the original, you'd be forgiven for thinking the acoustic version was quite good in a 'Quo doing something different' kind of a way.

I actually like both versions.
I think it works well acoustically and it’s such a nifty track on Blue For You.
So it’s a win - win for me with this track
