You're starting to pick the no brainers Classic Quo of course. As already mentioned, when John finishes his drum solo and the band come in to drive it on to the end, it is a masterpiece. Pretty much as good as it gets. By anyone, at any time. Ever. Several bars (and I have no idea how many) of total ecstasy, both in my teens and in the, ahem, autumn of my life A Rossi/Young composition and very probably their finest. No doubt both of them would disagree. Tough. I paid my money and made my choice

When we go from " I've got a friend that said that she'd invite me" to "I came here in the morning" and onto the solo..It actually sounds like an old train gathering momentum across the points,I actually see it!

See, if you learn the song, it can be done Francis! The Quotes do a great job on it, but just imagine Quo in their prime (or now even) up on the high stage in The Apollo or wherever, barrelling this out in the encore. Teary-eyed we can but wonder!

Francis, this is how it is done (and amazingly well), you need however talent but also importantly passion to pull it off: Pity you lost this passion and never tried it live. instead you knock this era of Quo. it may have been your Hotel California. What a shame. Instead it remains hidden away on an album that only Frantic 4 era fans appreciate.
(and a drummer is important even though you don't seem to think so; this drummer is superb and very close to John Coghlan's class)
