It is. I wish they had made a live album let's say right after the Quo-album just like Deep Purple's Made In Japan, with only the long tracks: Is It Really Me? Gotta Go Home, Someone's Learning, Umleitung, Roadhouse Blues, Forty-Five Hundred Times and Slow Train. And a double-live album right after the Whatever You Want-album. And one right after the Piledriver-album.

I agree with you, but below is the best we actually got

3 magical nights for this 19-year old. But every Quo gig at the Apollo was special.

But I don't like to talk about it

Take this with a pinch of salt as I someone who's not a fan of live albums, but this one is half great, half frustrating. The performances are well ugly, and shows the band as a brute of a band. But it comes from a time when the set lists had become a bit rigid. Its great to hear stuff like Is There a Better Way or In My Chair, but we've heard most of the rest like a million times before. So when is that bloody Stockolhm 71 gig coming out? Its a much more interesting era, to me at least.

I have the Stockholm full 71 gig on bootleg and have to say that IN MY OPINION, it aint a patch to the Quo live album, but it is nevertheless a great gig

Each to their own and all that, but that version of Umleitung is just stunning. Probably in my top 5 quo songs of all time in that version.
