That's not Wembley, the entrance to the front of Wembley Arena is on the concourse to the stadium. It looks like Hackney Empire

Don't really know London that well apart from the usual tourist haunts. I take it it's not Shepherd's Bush either?

Was it a publicity photo location (even though they've played the venue)?
Was it the last time a member played with the band?
Or probably something else.

Marginally more exciting than Quo miming.

I have to throw in a bit of balance into the whole, horrible miming (again) for the video thing.
When they released Forty-Five Hundred Times from the gig as the B-side to whatever single it was, I thought it was nerve tingling stuff. OK, the new short version but the crowd singing along made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I still play that version to this day.

I've been once in the 2000s*, so when it was named by Dennis, I knew he was right. But here's a pic for proof. [ I didn't see Quo there, btw. It was Nate James, not rock at all.]  |

Only time I ever set foot anywhere near Shepherd's Bush, I went to see QPR v Ipswich. 1984 I think it was. Something like that. Clive Allen scored the only goal. I was in London for a few days and fancied taking in a game. It was the easiest one to get to. Sorry, off on a bit of a tangent there  |
