I was at Selhurst, bad enough being a Millwall supporter but even worse was that days performance, it was a stinker. You mean stinker as in Quo played badly, or it was a poor crowd? I think he meant that Millwall had a bit of a bad game that day. Didn't get a sniff of a goal.

There were consolations though. The rain wasn't too bad and at some point the awning sagged and poured a steady stream onto the stage. Someone threw a bag of sarnies at Francis, triggering the usual comments about Lunch. Bands are always funny in the rain! (As long as they don't get electrocuted.)

40 years ago? kin 'ell! I went with a couple of mates both hardcore Quo fans. We had a few bevvies inside the bowl, I got thrown out twice, but managed to get back in again (dont ask!!) I cant remember much about the support acts, which I guess in hindsight is not a bad thing as Gary Glitter was one of them! I remember feeling that this really was it and that I would no longer see this magnificent band ever again. Luckily Live Aid brought them back. It was a fantastic day, very warm and the band were on top form. As I have previously said on this board, my brother and 3 other Quo fans are caught on film with their air guitars during Roll Over Lay Down. Class!

Page 112 of Just for the Record says "After the end of the road tour, the band went to the studio to complete the live album of the gig." Assuming this was overdubs done for the two VHS releases.
It's criminal we don't have an official release of the MK gig.

There are the Master RAK reels of the show and copy reels that were used to make the home-video releases. 12 reels, or something like that, in total were used to record that show.

As far as I know, there is footage somewhere of the Nazareth and Marillion sets - recorded by Steve Plant, the same guy that recorded Quo's set on the day. I have yet to trace these down. Steve also recorded Waysted when they supported Quo on the Army tour at Sheffield City Hall.
