This could well be the Nomis Studio in London. Same place the band used for the Never Too Late Tour Rehearsals  |

Cool photo, love the dual Gibsons Gray Makes me wonder how different the sound would have been if they used Gibsons and not Fenders... Live that is... |

I wonder why they rehearsed with Gibsons, then played with Fenders. That seems a little odd.

...isn't this from a previous tour rehearsal rather than Live Aid?
I thought also that the band said that they didn't rehearse for Live Aid but should have done, or something like that.

Ricks hair is too long for it to be the EOTR tour 1982 or 1983 perhaps? Just questioning as fairly sure I had seen this particular photo before Live Aid. |

He didn't leave it to grow until EOTR tour onwards I remember being surprised that both Alan and Rick had been to the starving barber for the Quo's own light blue denim brand photo shoots! Well I hope I'm wrong in a way as a great bit of history if Live Aid! Though something is still niggling in my memory of having seen this photo online, perhaps from a fan club magazine (Supporters Club International Edition?) from pre Live Aid time. Perhaps somebody on here such as mortified still has all the back editions of The Supporters Club/FTMO and International editions and might be able to find the photo which may help to date it. footnote: Alan's hair at Live Aid seems quite a bit longer than in the photo. |

As other have said it's interesting that they are using the Gibsons as such, but if from Live Aid rehearsals, I wonder why Rick would need to have a music stand and sheet music especially as just the 3 Rossi vocal songs were played at Live Aid.
...and I remember hearing that Quo reckoned that they hadn't rehearsed for Live Aid which was a surprise to me as Quo had always been consummate pros even during druggy times and took rehearsing for everything seriously.

The third photo where Francis is holding the Bob Young/John Shearlaw book (great book) - would look to be around the time they filmed "The Wanderer promo", quite a while before Live Aid, and Alan's had a haircut in between this and Live Aid by the look of it.
No ponytail on Francis in the Live Aid rehearsal pic though...

WOW
Francis looking at Alan? That's interesting.
The two guitarrists with gibsons and not Fenders? Even more interesting.
I find interesting too that Francis didn't use a ponytail. Yes, I've seen photos of Francis in soundchecks from the ITAN tour and he doesn't use it from time to time, but, I still find it interesting.
