Nah. That was the beginning of the end for me (last Quo LP I bought). Hated that bit where they rhymed job with something like "sitting in a cornfield..blah blah with a cob! Or summat! It's been a while!!

well not so new, but I rarely zoom in here, I'm in Southern California. Nice to talk with you guys! I really think Quo hit their stride during the Pile Driver-Hello-Quo releases, I agree with you guys that they sorta burned out and their song writing became too predictable.. A few other cool show I saw were: Thin Lizzy / Journey (when they were a prog-ish band during the first two releases) in about 1976-ish Ten Years After / Slade (about 1975) Chameleons / Mighty Lemon Drops (1985)

Yeah, gotta admit that when I saw Quo back in '74 and '75, they were superb, but the fact that I can't stand them now (cos of their later stuff admittedly) somehow tarnishes it. But at the time I thought those 2 gigs were the dog's b*ll*cks!

Nearly twelve years later, maybe we should see how our lists have changed?

Gongmaison - in a tent at Glastonbury Fest, 1989. I couldn't speak for an hour afterwards, my head having been blown apart by a particularly stratospheric 'Flying Teapot' (and 50 shrooms) Peter Perrett and Strangefruit - Hebden Bridge Trades Club a couple of years ago. Good to see Peter in such great shape, the voice is back. Cardiacs - somewhere in London, 1987. My introduction to the band.

A smidge before my time (I turned up around the time of the Koko D.O. power trio gig) but sad to see so many familiar names and fantastic contributors who no longer frequent these parts. Maybe they are all still around on fb. Anyway the idea of a top three gigs is a slightly crazy notion as mine would change radically depending on when you asked me but hey ho ... Yes - QPR, May 75 The Who - Hammersmith Odeon, December 1975 Art Ensemble of Chicago - Roundhouse 1982

As Ian says, ask me tomorrow, it'll probably be different but: 1.) Prince Lovesexy Tour 1988. Open-mouthed funky theatrical joy 4 2 hours +. 2.) Tricky, Barcelone 1995 or 96. With a band, claustrophobic, intense and so compelling. 3.) Circle Sky, Sebright Arms Bethnal Green 2016 - Richard Norris in a duo playing live analogue improvised hook-laden acid house that was such an unexpected treat.
