If Madrid turns out to be my last gig, wow, it was something special to go out on. The band were absolutely on fire, I haven't seen them rock that hard in a long time. The sold-out crowd were up for it and the kindness of a local fan in securing a barrier spot was very much appreciated. A fantastic gig... and I'm not yet processing the fact that I may never do it again!

A fantastic gig... and I'm not yet processing the fact that I may never do it again! I was in front row. I was next to a guy with a red t-shirt. Anybody can see me in the social media of the Botánico. We were absolutly nuts. We were the ones singing the riff from Don't Think it Matters, just to see what Francis did afterwards, and Ritchie did the sign that he would kill us. Shame that I didn't get a pick from Ritchie. I don't mind the gig at all, and felt sorry for Francis because of the pollen (or that's what he said), the atmosphere, everything from before and after the gig was special. Even we prepared a Quo-party on friday. I was in front of the buses from 9am and except Leon, who get off the bus from the other side of the road and leave, everyone get down the bus and signed everything and took photos with us. Even Francis got off the bus specially for us (I mean, all of them were carrying a suitcase and got to the backstage or whatever, Francis get off the bus with nothing, did everything we wanted and then get on the bus again, maybe because he just wanted to get rid of us. Never mind). Francis with a tie, a shirt and also the jacket from the North Pole...And at 2pm maybe the temperature was 28º, in Mérida the same but at what, 5pm? Maybe he got a flu or something?
