maff , I agree with Davy's comments. The audience for this sort of show would only want to hear the hits. In fact, it has crossed my mind that this band has been backed by 'The Quo Management' as a test of the market. The actual name - 'The Quo Experience', the current Quo setlist, intensive touring and lineup changes smacks of a trial of a future business model....

Bit strange then that the Quo Experience is playing Cannock on 30th November and Status Quo is playing Wolverhampton on 3rd December. I suspect that quite a few with tickets to Prince of Wales, Cannock, are regulars for just a night out with some songs and, looking at the tickets, they are £20 +£2 postage with a £2 reduction for over 65s. Less than half sold yet and all seated. Not exactly the best draw to the PofW. Doreen, Rise of the YamYams sold out as soon as it went on sale and another date added, also sold out.

Oops, not exactly good timing for them having both on around the same time...

Brino left the band about a month ago !! I saw them in Chesterfield. £21.00 for 3/4 of an hour !! Was it worth it ? Only if you like Quo classics like dear John, Margarita time, etc etc. How much?! who paid for you then?

It's a strange one. They seem to tour extensively and have quite a big marketing drive behind them, relatively speaking. Yet they've done a CQ, playing the lowest common denominator, commercial Quo music. Sadly goes to show that that's Quo's lasting legacy to the general pubic. I think you will find that all tribs everywhere who play regularly and get to cover their costs are weighted towards the "pop tunes" that people know, even where those pop tunes are actually album tracks. I know at least one of the Iron Maiden tribs has tried playing full albums, and sets with less well known songs in, but they have swung back towards playing a fairly consistent setlist of "most popular" album tracks. Still bloody good, but quite predictable. At least they play some current tracks, not all the tribs do.

But it's also quite common for independent tribs who want to make a living, perhaps more in the US (Bigger market) than in the UK. At least one trib has had a shot across its bows from management for producing advertising that looked "too much like the real thing". Metallica trib, I think.

Anyway, I am going to see this tribute band on the 13th of November in my home town of Andover. One of my mates ( he is one of the 4 lads in the ROLD clip from MK EOTR 84 ) bought me a ticket for my birthday. I didnt want to go as I only like FF stuff. But I shall go with an open mind!
