I've never much liked Rain no matter who sings it (same goes for the two songs preceeding it in the current set), so I'm all for it (plus various others) being replaced. If they take the songs co-written by Rick out of the set though, his royalties will decrease. You prefer that ?

For some reason Rain has always been a favourite of mine, I prefer it to Mystery Song unless its the album version, would be nice to hear that live...
As I have said in previous reviews Rhino isn't the best vocalist but I don't have a problem with him (trying) to sing it.

To be honest I think Rain should have been dropped. I don't have a problem with Rhino singing Creepin, As that's a track co-written with Rick. There were other songs that Rhino could have done. Bad News should have been put in during the summer gigs. Hey even Freddie was there to do his Solo if Francis didn't want to play it. (would have given him time to learn it  ). |

To be honest 1) I don't have a problem with the vocals especially as RP's have been shot to pieces over the last few years and times have sounded like Billy Connolly's pub singer impression 2) the song actually showcases,in a positive way, the different style of Richie more than any other song.
All IMHO of course

I was so gutted watching this live at the gig. I normally sing along to every song but I just felt so empty inside watching quo without rick and hearing rhino completely ruin it with awful singing that I just stood silent for the first time in 22 years of seeing quo live!!!!
Why not drop Rain and the awfully over played creeping up on you for something else. Bad news would have been nice to hear.

I saw them on the tour and thought they were great, I don't trust youtube clips unless they are pro-shot, anyone knows you can't get the feel of any gig from a clip on youtube.
The band were on fire and yes I'll admit the singing may not have been great but I guess they had their reasons for not spending time changing the songs to something that Rhino may be better suited to singing.
Would've preferred Rhino singing Whatever You Want than Andy, cos I've never liked Andy's voice and that's why I don't own any of his solo albums.
I'm not gonna start slinging mud at Quo or individual band members, I stopped doing that years ago, and no matter what anyone's opinion is, it's their band not ours, they can do whatever they like, we don't have to go to the gigs or buy the albums.
I don't remember the 8 years of my life up until I heard Rockin' All Over The World in 1977, so Quo are what I grew up on, and people can say it's not Quo it's Rossi & Friends and this that & the other, but to me it's Quo.
Just because it's not the original line up or the classic line up, doesn't mean it's not Quo, people get sacked from the Coca Cola factory, does that mean it's not Coca Cola anymore?
No so a band isn't any different, granted it's not the same band as the one I got into in 1977 but everyone in life changes, well there's a few I could name who are probably still the same as they were 40 years ago, but that's another story.
Basically what I'm saying is that Quo have always been my favourite band, and I'm trying to cling on to whatever little shred of Quo there is left.
Rossi was my ultimate Rock hero up til the Don't Stop era, and as such I defended his choices til that point, I've been disillusioned with a lot of things since then but not gonna slag him or the band for it.
Don't forget how long Rhino and Andy have been in the band and they have both made massive contributions so to me they are fully fledged Quo members (even though others will disagree), and as long as Rossi is there it's Quo to me.
Would I prefer if Rick was still with us and onstage with Quo? Damn right I would, but at the same time Richie is doing a good job, I only hope that if the band are continuing that they record and release some new music, not more Acoustic stuff but proper Rock music.
I don't think it'll happen but we don't know yet what Rossi's mindset is after the tragedy that's happened, I know they can't just cancel the shows because people won't get paid and if they did get paid, that would cost Quo and management a lot of money and I don't think the band especially are as well off as some think they are.
This is not the time to slag any members of Quo past or present, people should just celebrate Rick's contribution to the Rock world, we will always have the music and the memories no matter what.
Rick Parfitt I salute you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful music and tremendous live shows & pleasure you've given me for 39 years, you are sorely missed my friend!!

I agree totally, a bad low point of a decent gig in Liverpool for me. Should have played Bad News or one of the other Rhino songs instead.

All IMHO of course I agree about Rhino's singing not really being up to this song and the fact that it shows of Richie's playing in a great light when he was generally kept too low in the mix on the last tour. It would be an opportunity for Francis to let Richie take on some lead vocals, something he does in his own band and he has a great voice, it would also be an opportunity to play a few of Rick's songs live that haven't seen the light of day in a good number of years, I've always been a fan of Overdose and would love to hear it back in the set. Terribly sad as Rick's death is, if Francis is serious about continuing with Quo and in particular electric Quo then he will have to let Richie step up more and belt out some songs. |

Terribly sad as Rick's death is, if Francis is serious about continuing with Quo and in particular electric Quo then he will have to let Richie step up more and belt out some songs. Guess the fact that Ritchie's presence was treated low key had to do with the fact that the LNOTE was meant for the fans to say goodbye to the twin guitar sound of Francis' and Rick's teles and without Rick there that didn't make sense anymore and they had to slightly change the motto to simply 'last electric tour'. I guess that's why they changed as little as possible - including the set - and left the singing to Andy and Rhino. To not highlight that Rick wasn't there. That in consequence will require future changes of set, now that everybody knows Rick won't be there and won't be back ever. IMO that should start with the continued LNOTE tour. Maybe though, they feel that while the name is the same, the set has to remain the same as well ? Wouldn't surprise me to be honest, despite me hoping for something different .. |

I don't feel I can make a total judgement on it from the video clip. You would need to be there in person to do this. The crowd seemed to enjoy it, and fair play to Rhino for giving it a go. However, I do think, that moving forward, this song should be dropped from the set. I don't have any problem with Andy and Rhino picking up extra singing duties on songs they have co-written, but right at this moment in time, it doesn't feel quite right for someone else to be singing Rick's songs. But this may change as time passes...

But this may change as time passes... The set list is in dire need of an overhaul anyway and to start with exchanging Rick's songs for others that are more Andy's or Rhino's songs is as good a starting point for it as any.   - And I can sincerely recommend going to a gig. The great thing last autumn was, that they were much more of a band again - all members important and in the limelight, sounding heavy and tight - as opposed to a duo plus a few more guys the way it used to be. |

If they take the songs co-written by Rick out of the set though, his royalties will decrease. You prefer that ? His royalties wont drop much as there is still radio/tv play etc,, so yeah Id rather they drop it as they clearly cant do it properly or do it justice Rick's a multi millionaire !!!! Are you really worried about his royalties decreasing? I love Rhino but on Something bout you baby he sounds like Tommy Cooper and Rain......Well sorry but he should just leave them alone same as Creeping up on you he just can't sing sorry. |

They have dropped the tuning from A to G and that takes away the punch of the song........ and yes I have seen it Live at the very last gig at Liverpool.........
