Will this be a case of the inevitable test out a couple of less-played tracks in Germany first, and by the time they get to the UK.....dropped!?

Shame they dropped paper plane in the encore as it’s 50 years old.
Not a bad set though. Quo live bingo really but there you go.
Shame we’ll never get to hear the likes of lies, Claudie etc

By Quo set standards, that's revolutionary...mind you, as mentioned elsewhere, will it remain the same for the U.K leg of the Tour...

Twenty Wild Horses & Rock 'n' Roll 'n' You mark what might be the FIRST time the band has brought back relatively "new" songs after retiring them with the usual speed. I guess that's because of the new compilation? Meanwhile The Oriental wasn't put on the comp despite being so popular with the band.
The revamped medley sounds interesting on paper, although there aren't any genuinely new songs in it.

Given that this isn't 2002, I am genuinely surprised that a song as apparently contentious as The Oriental should be these days remains a staple in the set. That's notwithstanding how fed up we all are with it. I'm equally surprised they haven't been openly criticised for it. As for the rest of the set, the inclusion of In My Chair pleases me greatly. I don't recall Again And Again closing a medley before so it will be interesting to hear how they finish it. And how much of Mystery Song will be played given its listing in the set? Bl00dy hell, I'm dissecting it already. Just go along and enjoy yourself, for goodness sake

Bl00dy hell, I'm dissecting it already. Just go along and enjoy yourself, for goodness sake In recent years Again and Again has kind of ended the medley. When I say kind of, it used to segue nicely into Paper Plane. Now it ends….and they start Mystery Song. I hope the changes stay. And there is scope for Paper Plane to be added to the encore .

What’s the chances of them shoe horning in Over the Edge?

It’s actually good to see UTI, Heavy Traffic, Fourth Chord, Quid Pro Quo and Backbone represented in the set

That's notwithstanding how fed up we all are with it. I'm equally surprised they haven't been openly criticised for it. I know what you mean, but maybe it's either beyond critique, or there's just not many column inches you can give any intelligent debate about it to - too easy a target?
I can sort of see why they persist playing it live - it's something a wee bit different for them, has a different groove, and of course Rhino's bits in the middle where the strobes go on (do they still?) offers up something different again.
I can see the lyrics are massively tongue in cheek, but it's just that it's a case of the lyricist getting bogged down with EVERYTHING having to rhyme, and it becomes more about that than any meaning or story - it brings the whole thing down. Why not take a risk and not have every line rhyme with the last?
Mia North Korea come over Land Rover sushi suits me shower hour
oriental special get some another one oriental very gentle a cousin a dozen
Mae Wong Hong Kong a raver eastern flavour I love you I'd love to Texas Lexus
spicy nicely
oriental mental gotta get one and another one oriental on a rental a Russian no discussion
I mean, Jeeeeesus!! Just gets a bit retarded. Granted there is a few lines in the middle eight that don't follow the same pattern.
Not that i could do any better!
