I was just wondering why this topic isn't in the tours and gigs section? Just saying. I was just wondering why this topic isn't in the lazy, safe and stubborn section? Just saying.

Quo did play Dirty Water a lot over the years, it's in the Top 30 of their most played songs according to setlist.fm - but it hasn't been in the set since 2006. Claudie was dropped after 1975 except for the Aquostic shows. I wonder if Francis thinks that it's not "suitable" for an electric show? They do seem to have a lot of preconceptions like that. I checked Setlist FM too. I've only seen the buggers play Dirty Water once in the 25 years I've been going to Quo gigs, and that was at number 2 in December 2000!
I chose Dirty Water and Claudie specifically as I love them and Frame thinks we only want heavy tracks.
Fun fact, according to setlist FM The Oriental has been played live more times than Paper Plane.

either way the static setlist is proof Rossi has OCD for rarely changing it and having things kept the same. They don't need to do rehearsals as they all know the songs inside and out and been played to death.
I bet Matt has cold sweats about playing Caroline for over 300 times

I'm sure you're right, I don't remember The Oriental being played on the 2002 Heavy Traffic tour so must have been Riffs. The HT tour was amazing!

October 29th, 2003, was the fateful day that it was added to the setlist. It replaced Heavy Traffic whilst All Stand Up, Creepin' and Solid Gold remained. Solid Gold lasted for 2 more tours, and All Stand Up lasted for another 3 before it was dropped.

Big fan of the song Heavy Traffic, really enjoyed that live.
Fun fact, my dad and I rocked up at the civic on the 28th October. Flightcases in the carpark, side door open, ramp on the stage, no fans about. Saw a crew member loading in and my dad casually said "gonna have to get a move on mate to be ready for 8.45 tonight". Crew member just smiled politely and said "gigs tomorrow man".

The setlist, as a whole, was pretty decent for those first couple of shows on the Riffs tour before they reverted back to the usual shite. Here's a download link to the Rescued Recordings version of the bootleg - mega.nz/folder/tkQFFZBI#jUf2oIYIzEz7zml_WnYrPQ

Also saw the 2 shows at the Anvil in Basingstoke, those two were home matches for me. Went straight to the stage door after school, met Rhino, Andy and Matt but no Frame or Rick sadly.
Thanks for sharing the link!

There would have to be some radical changes to the setlist to persuade me to attend a show again, off the cuff something like
Mystery Song (album version) Lies Who Asked You Paper Plane Face The Music Claudie Lonely Man A Year Over and Done A Reason For Living Ring Of A Change Heavy Traffic 4500 Times Big Fat Mama Don't Waste My Time
I just haven't been able to get the enthusiasm to go to a show since I went to the reunions at Hammersmith in 2013 and 2014.
Why would you be enthusiastic when you can predict with 99% accuracy what songs, and in what order, they are going to be played?
Baffles me why they do it.

The setlist has never bothered me a great deal. If I average two gigs a year it doesn't matter all that much. I go to see the band I have loved for the last 50 years, the only disappointment for me is there isn't many more gigs to come.

Just got back from Wolves Civic, yeah shame about the shorter set and I see even we didn't get Cut Me Some Slack, which was played at first gig, interesting. I knew we were spoiled with the longer 2022 set. Four full extra tracks played. You could argue the real big hitter gems missing from this set could be deemed as Paper Plane, Don't Waste My Time, Big Fat Mama and 4500 Times. Just thinking actually, so nothing at all from the Piledriver and Quo albums. Food for thought there boys. Still think the Medley could go and instead play full tunes. This is definitely a set focussed towards summer festivals rather than anything else. We could go on and on and on and on and on about it and I'm sure we will and why not? It's our job!!!

For me, it was obvious that predictability was creeping in again with the second reunion tour. The set list was pretty much the same as the year before apart from the inclusion of Gotta Go Home. Had that line up stayed together, as many have clamoured for, I have no doubt we'd all have eventually been moaning about the same thing.

Just thinking actually, so nothing at all from the Piledriver and Quo albums. Food for thought there boys. Don't Waste My Time was in the gigs following this statement, but it looks like Cut Me Some Slack is gone for good. Shame. I'm considering going to one of the gigs but the setlist is really not inspiring. I'm kinda kicking myself now for missing 2022. I just haven't been able to get the enthusiasm to go to a show since I went to the reunions at Hammersmith in 2013 and 2014.

Had that line up stayed together, as many have clamoured for, I have no doubt we'd all have eventually been moaning about the same thing. That's why they should have gotten Andy in for a third go, and included some good and not too obvious choices from 1977-1981 as well. Heck, why not play Pictures... as well, 4/5 of the FF were on that anyway. And history repeated again with the Aquostic gigs, which barely changed after the second Aquostic album was released.
