It was. After january 1992 was one of the two songs the band played from the RTYD album. Which is a shame, No Problems is one of my favorites from the album. Sorry I didn't understand, what was the shame? From the start of the RTYD tour, Quo played; One Man Band, Like A Zombie, Fakin The Blues, Rock 'Til You Drop, and No Problems. By April 1992, only One Man Band and Rock 'til You Drop remained in the set. They were constantly faffing around with the setlist during that tour. Hold You Back was forever being dropped and brought back, along with the Roadhouse Medley. No songs were put in to replace these, so some shows were shorter than others.

I think that happened a lot during tours, I remember thinking in 88 why did they keep Who gets the love in the set after it left the charts, yet they dropped Cream of the crop by the time I seen them on the tour. I quite liked Cream of the crop live.

Yeah, it was played on the Rock 'til You Drop tour. Along with about 4 others from the album. Although I appreciate it may have varied slightly from gig to gig.
I didn't appreciate it had been in the set as late as 1995.

One Man Band might be my favorite Quo song post 1981. Definetly a gem from an otherwise low point musically. This is the type of song I was craving for probably since the Never too late album. But there has been a few belters post One Man Band. Two way traffic is class, but they are just harder to find. This is annoying as we know when Quo get it right, they get it 110% right, but when they get it wrong, it makes you think am I listening to the same band or what??

Definetly a gem from an otherwise low point musically. You think the Rock 'Til You Drop album is a low point? I think the band were in a low point yes. Long story, but we as fans just had to deal with the disaster Perfect Remedy period. Ok the tour went well but records wise it was dire. So then RTYD came out in 91 I certainly wasn't expecting half of it to be cover songs, well not quite half, but I was expecting something else because the band should have felt the kick up the ass from the disappointing sales of the singles from 89, and album. I really thought all the stops should have been pulled out for any future releases, but yeah in a way for me RTYD was a continued time of disappointment. Thats why I think One man band really was the best track on the album, but actually I even prefer Heavy Daze, and Mysteries from the ball. Neither of those made the album. Strange times really, and a shame because to me the comeback really did lose steam too quickly musically after the Army album, I loved that album, it had something for everyone. I had friends of mine that didnt even like Quo typically, yet loved the Army album. Ain't Complaining was a pop album, but I liked it at the time, it just hasent dated well. I was expecting after the experimental Ain't Complaining album a return to the more Rockin' Quo, how wrong was I? I just felt these were desperate times, and RTYD just highlights this. I have an alternative RTYD on Spotify I compiled as a playlist. That's how I would have released the album. Here:

Here: Personally I love Rock 'Til You Drop and still like the Army, Complaining and Remedy albums. I like your alternative album but there's too many songs, an album for me shouldn't last more than 45-50 mins.

My alternative was simply highlighting that there was plenty of original tracks to make an excellent album. I even ommited Can't give you more as I felt it was a copy of another Quo song. If you had a choice which songs would you ommit from my altered compilation?
