Pm me your email address, only emails, as I can't be bothered how to find out how to upload here, if you want them, go on sale on Monday...no Freddie fan requests... as as for the tour, out with a whimper, basically same as last year, so much for a major tour. but vip, hot seats and front row being sold separately....rip off, of course and Derryquo was correct, sacked by live nation.... livenation wanted FF as well or not profitable enough...bad news is, ff even more unlikely now, unless livenation have held the rights to that tour, here's hoping.... anyway if interested, email address to me... You were right were you? Do you have any idea how the music business works? Tour promoters are the individuals or companies responsible for organizing a live concert tour or special event performance. The tour promoter makes an offer of employment to a particular artist, usually through the artist’s agent or music manager. The promoter and agent then negotiate the live performance contract. The majority of live performance contracts are drawn up using the standard contract format known as the AFM Performance Agreement. Included among the tour promoter’s various job responsibilities are: (1) obtaining venue, concert hall, entertainment centre, theater, nightclub or arena bookings; (2) pricing the event or tour; and (3) providing air, sea or land transportation (optional). However the promoter must have upfront cash and or sponsorship financing to pay for advertising the tours of the artists. Such advertising costs commonly include television and radio advertisements, posters, newspaper and magazine adverts, online marketing and so on. There are no figures available concerning how much an average concert promoter makes annually. Like most music industry professions, compensation depends on the level of success possessed by the artist the promoter works with, location, and what a given market will bear. The promoter assumes all the financial risk in putting on a show, so compensation also depends on how successful the promoter is at negotiating with vendors and creating sold-out shows. Additionally, in-depth knowledge of their operating market and audience characteristics are critical success factors for any tour promoter. A promoter brings together a performing artist and a venue owner and arranges contracts. A booking agency represents the artist to promoters, makes deals and books performances. Consumers usually buy tickets either from the venue or from a ticket distribution service such as Ticketmaster. Choices about where and when to tour are decided by the artist's management and the artist, sometimes in consultation with the record company. Record companies may provide tour support; they may finance a tour in the hopes that it will help promote the sale of recordings. However, in the 21st century, it has become more common to release recordings to promote tours, rather than book tours to promote records. Successful artists will usually employ a road crew: a semi-permanent touring organization that travels with the artist. This is headed by a tour manager and provides stage lighting, live sound reinforcement, musical instrument tuning and maintenance and transportation. On large tours, the road crew may also include an accountant, stage manager, hairdressers, makeup artists, and catering. Local crews are typically hired to help move equipment on and off stage. On small tours, all of these jobs may be handled by just a few roadies, or by the musicians themselves.

Back in the early 70's with the arrival of Vertigo label through new band management under Colin Johnson, the successes that started to appear so spectacularly had been first made possible on the word of mouth growth of a fan base which became one of the most loyal known for a British rock band. The branding, the advertising, the gig selection was based on getting that core band>fan image out there. The band fed off the audience reaction, and in turn that fed back to greater levels with the fans and ever greater numbers of them. Replicate that in Europe, Australia and other countries..
It was the perfect rock n' roll story. Simple, uncomplicated, spontaneous and based on mutual band/fan appeal
How things have changed. Just how many of those who were part of successes like The Great Western Festival and Reading in 72 in tandem with the new record label, have been left far behind and forgotten. Seems that these original word of mouth fans, that led on to fans like me and so many others joining within just a few years, have no importance to the management that will see out the end of career days with this current band. The FF reunion was, in management terms, a token financial hand-shake to the two who dropped by the wayside, and which 'just happened' to turn out to be the best blast that had happened in the Quo Live arena since the days they left.
My thoughts in the last year or two have been going more and more back to that glorious past, and now arrive further and further away from wanting to be part of any end which scarce bares resemblance to days that were responsible for making me a fan in the first place in the mid 70's

In a nutshell Catlady, that's how I feel. Watching a the end of a band I don't know anymore. But only 2/3 years ago, I rediscovered the band I fell in love with in the 70s.

Bla bla bla....are you suggesting that livenation did not drop quo, and are you suggesting that aeg have come in with a wonderful contract....

No DQ I don't think he is but I did. So what do you think happened??? I have no idea but both promoters are equally big and successful backed by US money. And I doubt AEG would have taken them on if they thought they'd lose money.

I can't obviously prove it...but dwindling numbers, question marks about last year's tour and new promoter...sounds like Livenation didn't want them...and no way Aeg are as big in UK
