Yes and no The gig in Brussels, he's barely seen. Knebworth, just see him running on stage with them. The Army video, he seemed fine Same with Dreamin and Rollin' Home Out of all of them, the only one who seems off his nut is Francis. Is there other footage I may have missed? the Dinkelsbühl (Out In The Green) footage Any particular moment? Find that hard to watch/listen to. Rick and Francis may as well be playing air guitar. Horrible mix

The whole period is depressingly sad... 😟 And signalled the end of the once mighty Status Quo..🤦♂️ Depends what way you look at it. Army was a massive hit and from a music point of view, I can respect them(him) for changing avenues or trying something. Every artist, bar AC/DC, has done it at some point. Still brilliant live too. However, the way I see it is Francis, by his own admission, after he got his way and got the Army single recorded, hadn't a clue what to do. He had convinced himself that he was right and his way was the best way but, he had no material strong enough, nor had he any clue how best to utilise it and for what audience. He offered nothing for the rest of the Army album, same with AC, majority of PR is not good enough, Thirsty Work is a solo album. RTYD, a few good songs but, that's made up of re-recordings, covers and other material written by other members. It's ironic that the very thing he was trying to get away from, brought them a new lease of life and positive spotlight in 2002 with Heavy Traffic This is not to say things would have been different if Alan and John had stayed. It's a simple case of not knowing.

the Dinkelsbühl (Out In The Green) footage Oh dear gosh! Those faces he makes are horrible to watch!.. 1. Andy has always made faces like that, for some bizarre reason 2. Rick is totally out of it and looks like he's bored off his tits 3. Rossi has clearly had a bag of sugar instead of coke 4. Dear God!!! Rhino's vocals during RAOTW are horrendous 5. Good to see Jeff Rich made it to the gig straight from the gym
