Madrid, July 17th 2004. Crammed between Cheap Trick and Deep Purple. A shame that the show was only an hour, no encores, and then Deep Purple two hours. Dreadful, since that day I can't hear a Deep Purple record without falling asleep (and I did fall asleep during Purple's set, my parents decided to leave before the encores). But hey, it was the first Cheap Trick show ever in Spain so that was good. I could only find a recording of the Quo set that day, but no lucky with Cheap Trick.
It could be at Madrid's show in 2001, but I was 8 years old, and the club was for over 18, like the Madrid's show in 2009...Sh**, so much gigs lost...
But a friend of mine did get to the 2001 gig, at least the soundcheck...He was lucky.

First and only, Michigan Palace '75 April 11th, support to Rush. How did the Rush fans react to Quo and their working-man shuffle blues? Fans were crazy LOUD!!!! Detroit well known for being rockers, especially back then. Fans were much louder when Quo played. And what a setlist. I went to see Rush. I knew of Quo but only POMM. My virgin Quo ears were in for treat.

22 March 1973. Edinburgh Caley Cinema. The set list will have been the same as the BBC Paris Theatre gig plus Is It Really Me/Gotta Go Home. A life-changing event. As the first Quo gig was and has been since for so many. 60p 😂 We really are old aren’t we!!

First concert was 27 Sep 1973 at the Empire Edinburgh on the Hello Tour. Support was Savoy Brown. You can see from the ticket stub they had a late gig 11.30pm (that would really put Rossi's routine out of kilter. mortified can maybe confirm I think the late gig was down to the bingo prior. They must have been hitting the big time as they put the ticket price up 15p from the gig earlier in the year at the Caley

My late brother (RIP) although not a Quo fan (he was into Mod bands and had a scooter) did see them at The Kinema Ballroom Dunfermline in 1968

I honestly can't remember. If it was that, then it would have been a lot shorter than the Caley Cinema gig, what with Is It Really Me/Gotta Go Home missing. Because that was about 22 minutes long. And Forty-Five Hundred Times wasn't in the set yet. As for the Empire gig itself (now the Festival Theatre), nothing stopped for the bingo So it was a late finish and we had to get a lift home because the buses weren't running when we came out. It was about 2 o'clock in the morning or something. I had school in the morning!

My first time seeing Quo was 1973 Reading Festival, they were on before The Faces( who were awful) I'm sure Rossi introduced Caroline as their new single. They were superb and I was hooked, then saw them in October at Hanley Victoria Hall, great venue, hot sweaty and very loud.

1982 at Hammersmith some time during those gigs that precided the Princes Trust concert, with of course the same set list.
Although I knew the singles well, most of the set I had never herad before in my life, which I always riposte when people say "You have to know the songs to enjoy a gig by a band you haven't seen before". Rubble. You know you've got a good band when you don't know the songs before the gig and you do afterwards.

Barcelona, March 12th 1975 - I got into Status Quo one year earlier upon "Quo" release, although I have vague memories of "Gerdundula" being played on the radio in 1972, without knowing which band played it. My life changed when "Quo" was out and the change was confirmed after the Barcelona concert. Proud of it.
Sorry I can't contribute with the set list. I was only 12 and all that I can say is that they did not play "Down Down". As per Madrid 75 recording (concert on March 14th 1975), it seems clear that they did play "Down Down" there. I don't know if this matter has been discussed before in this or past forums; the fact that they played "Down Down" a few times in the On The Level Tour
