To be fair it's bearable the first two minutes (and the short harmonica effort by AB) but when those backing ladies and violins and all sorts of miscellaneous noises kicks in it became to much for me...

I like it, good to see them standing in this performance, not sitting on stools. Wish the harmonica would go a bit more, & no accordion in sight.

Is the setlist correct from the Union Chapel gig?

That setlist looks OK to me, but they played "That's A Fact" and "Hold You Back" again at the end for a video recording (not sure what it's being used for). So they ended up playing for about an hour.
The venue was incredible, the atmosphere from the big crowd (there were 30 tickets left) was awesome, and the band played very tightly with this mix of Aquostic 1 and 2 songs. I realise it's not everyone's cup of tea but played live it's very enjoyable and surprisingly heavy in parts (and was very loud in such a small venue). The reception from this crowd was fantastic and I had a great time (again).
Rhino and Freddie mingled with fans in the bar for an hour or so after the gig, so that was a nice chance for people to meet them. Dave Ling was also in the bar so maybe look out for a Classic Rock review sometime soon.
Thanks to FTMO for organising it and giving us the chance to see a great performance in an incredible setting. Another great Quo night, simple as that for me.

It's much better than hold you back but not for me.
If Francis did this as a solo project I would have far more respect for him.

It ain't great but I don't mind it as the quick solo and harmonica saves it somewhat although HYB is absolutely dire and fear worse is yet to come. But....as others have stated it would be far more credible and understandable if this was a Francis Rossi project and not pushed under the Status Quo banner of which it clearly is not. Of course they wouldn't be able to push the sales through then but that has always been the case with Rossi pushing his watered down mediocre solo material under the Quo name.
It just ain't Quo. Its Rossi and friends.

Just looked at the RAOTW footage from the Union Chapel. Well half of it was enough. It far too uncomfortably emphasises the holiday park entertainment type sing-along that the electric shows have demonstrated with the "hits" and especially 'that song'. Its best to leave it at that....

Perfect venue for this version of Quo and a great success thanks to the efforts of FTMO.

So if I play the pub that holds 20 people. And 20 turn up. It's a big gig ? Yes small venue is what they need as there isn't that much demand for Substandard Quo. Yes FTMO deserve credit. Hopefully they made a profit. However the fact is they couldn't shift 700 tickets.
