Wish i'd have been a quo fan then, great gig. Hope he does more solo gigs after the 'split'. Setlist is better than any of CQ's in the last few years imvho.

Well.... He sings more articulate, but it's not my cup of tea. To quote an old album, "the bass isn't right" neither on the CQ stuff nor the old stuff... And why the free-wheelin jazz on DWMT? If he don't like it, don't play it FFS...

The solo tour of Francis, including St Lukes, was a great success as far as I was concerned. The disappointment was that the local gig on the tour was cancelled due to him having a necessary hernia operation and the ticket needed to be refunded.
Refreshing set compared to CQ, with good band backing, and a good chance to hear at least some of the songs CQ refuse to play from the back catalogue. As well as some FF classics - which I would never expect to sound like the original masters
On the hypothetical basis that it was possible to see a reunited FF once more - I would be well made up with an FF and FR solo band combo of gigs.
But it aint going to happen

Or a tour of Parfitt, Lancaster and Coghlan whilst rossi does some solo gigs, everyone's a winner

I was lucky enough to go to this live. And it was much better than the first one in May that year. Can't believe its 6 years ago now.
I don't think Francis made any money on the tour though. I heard him say that on an interview with an Irish radio station. So that could be why its never happened again.

Being hospitalized seems to be a trend for band members with upcoming solo gigs that have failed to turn a profit.

Overdubbing is very annoying. Don't like the whole thing.
