For my 16th birthday I got a new fangled digital watch with stopwatch functionality. About a month later at the Edinburgh Odeon in May '79 I tested it out at my first ever rock concert to time 4500 times. I clocked it at 26+ minutes :) Even after all these yesrs it's still one of the best concerts I've been to - well it would be as I was leaning on the stage at Rossi's feet. Saw the FF again a couple of years later a the Glasgow Apollo, then minus John for the End of the Road tour in Dundee. Last time I saw them (without John or Alan) was supporting Queen at Wembley in '86. As many have said they are not the same band now and don't do it for me but they still bring pleasure to many, so "Who Am I?' to knock 'em.

Had a couple of drinks before. Not ashamed too say i was, jumping up and down like a teenager, Even felt a bit emotional, seeing my idols, doing what they do best.

Quo came many times to Perth Western Australia in the 70's. One time, the container with their guitars didn't arrive, so they had to borrow guitars from the locals. I never saw so many broken strings in my life. you would see the three of them getting into the Quo stance then one would pop up with a broken string in their hand. they would wave it about laughing. The crowd went nuts. they ringed the necks off those borrowed guitars!

"there's nobody on the end of my line, I'm in time but somebody's missing...." I"ve come to the conclusion that Rick is my favorite out of Quo, "Where I Am", "Lonely Man", "Everything", he's got a really sensitive side thats quite unique. It's idiotic that Phonogram cancelled his solo LP - because Rossi's hadn't sold! But most of it is available through B-sides, check out "Hallow'een",totally overlooked, if it had been on"Hello" or "Quo" it would be regarded as a classic.
