Very true. 'RAOTW classic song, must be played every time'' he was said some interview. Army' song ok, WYW course..so hits hits hits...Rain- uh boring (hit) song-for me The QUO fans didn't want RAOTW/ITA,WYW . Casuals wanted to hear all that stuff QUO fans wanted Backwater/4500 times/BFM . Sad to think 'it will never happen again' .
Best of luck to Rick in the future though , what a LEGEND .
Link 0:40 Course man is a HERO. ..............btw, you get also xtra paycheck when you are playin your "hits" alive, such WYW..(BMI,ASCAP)

Rexit! No doubt it will be painful for him as he watches the others carrying on, but once back to full health just imagine the possibility of new alliances with John and Alan! All these lost years of having to make albums full of 'roundabout' music. Wanting to change the set but being blocked by Francis. Look forward to seeing you back out there and rockin' again very soon Rick! No more having to do what Francis says! You ARE Status Quo. I have always got the impression that Rick wants the greatest hits setlist. He's always dragging on about how when he's at a concert he only wants to hear the hits and jadajada on the interviews.. He's just speaking the truth. People go and see a band, they want to hear the best songs, and a good slab of the best songs for any band that has released singles over a long time are the ones that innocent members of the public have paid out for in shedloads. That is not the whole story of course and one of the many delights of discovering live Quo was hearing wonderful songs that I had never heard before in my life, all seasoned by Quo's matchless live performance. (And the discovering then of even more wonderful songs on albums I had never heard before in my life.) That doesn't mean I've gone off the good stuff I heard on the radio before. WYW never bothered me much on the radio, but live it's a corking song, a pop song which is total rock (It's the guitars, Rick's guitar mostly of course.) RAOTW I always liked in a mild way, I like a lot of John Fogerty's stuff, so why wouldn't I? But it was the one where I went to the bog, bought another Kia Ora, fed the cardi, etc. ITAN I always liked, it's a moody song about the tribulations of joining the army, historically I'm an old hippie, why wouldn't I like it? And Caroline, Paper Plane, Dustpipe, In My Chair are all radio hits as far as I am concerned.

I was surprised by a text I had from a non-Quo-fan friend which sorry to hear that your mate Rick has hung up his spurs.

At first I was bummed by this. But now? I think this could open the door for the long wanted PLC project. An album, anyway.
Hey, I can dream!
