An interview in trade mag with Rick and Francis from March 2016. (thanks to Craydarr on the other site) Interesting details because its in a trade journal and a sad foreshadowing of Rick's health problems which lead to his passing in December. www.guitar-bass.net/features/interview-status-quo/

Thank you for the link curiousgirl ! "Rossi has fond memories of 2014’s Frantic 4 reunion tour, which saw Rossi and Parfitt reunited onstage with Alan Lancaster and John Coghlan. “I must admit, the Frantic 4 tour was very nostalgic,” he says. “I looked up at the crowd on the balcony at the London Hammersmith gig, it looked like they were mesmerised at something that was going on behind the band. I thought, ‘what the fuck are they looking at?’. I’ve never, ever experienced euphoria from an audience like that before, maybe they wished we’d stayed in that era and just released albums of all those tunes one after another." Why not just say " what a great audience we have." period..... I don't get him......

"the band are taking advantage of some enforced downtime to carry out the daunting task of compiling a definitive setlist from 32 albums of material."
