I think they are one of those bands that many like, but to out yourself as a quo fan doesn't sit well, I think they have been a great band, see them a few times, Rossi is a great blues influenced axe
They were good, but not for very long, and certainly not after the drummer left.
They were old hat as far back as 1985 when appearing at Live Aid.
I think they might have peaked in '73!Quote:

End of the play off final against QPR when we sang that Quo song was classic :ayatollah:
I went to Live Aid. On the bus going there from Cardiff was a big bloke in a denim jacket with Quo badges all over it.Quote:

Good to know that in a historic day of 12 hours of music this guy enjoyed 10 minutes.
Mind you he was right about Adam Ant
Caroline , down down they did some great songs
But in the army now is one of the worst songs of all time
Cardiff Castle - 1975 I think. Magic
Yes, Saw them in July 1976 along with Budgie, Curved Air, The Strawbs and Hawkwind. The band played an excellent headling set. Top Notch. Got to say Hawkwind were the best band on that day tho', led by the late great Robert Calvert
Saw them the following year at the Capitol Theatre in Cardiff the following year, and once again they were excellent.
Certainly or thereabouts.Quote:

They were never good.
They were sometimes OK in the early years.
What is the difference between OK and good?Quote:

Good is better than OKQuote:
