4500 TIMES. The holy grail of Quo tracks. Nothing comes close. Stunning.

agreed the most explosive track ever

No one Rocked the Glasgow Apollo like The Quo - I was at this - both nights - they were on fire ! Pete Kircher was a superb replacement for John & a solid drummer. In fact I got their autographs after queuing outside their hotel before the show. 🫡

You lucky guy!! I thought Kircher a great drummer. Let's not forget although his tenure was short he played 3 massive gigs. Charley boy, End of the Road and Live Aid. Live Aid resurrected Quo I think. I wasn't sure in this recording whether John was still with the band as I know he departed during the 1982 album. But he obviously was? To be fair I still follow them and recently also saw Rossi on his tunes and chat tour and he was a lot better than I expected. Still got a good voice.😊🎸🎸

I was there, Ball bustin' sweaty Rock! ✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎸

This is when Quo were still awesome 👍

It sounds cheap n nasty, not good.

41 years ago! I was 13 years old and Quo at the Birmingham NEC in '82 (the one with prince Charles an televised live) was my first gig. Listening to this brings it all back. Fuck me they were good then! Hard to believe what they turned into. 4500 Times is simply glorious from beginning to end. Thanks SO much for uploading 🙂 Quo Oh Oh Oh Oh!

Thanks for that!

The current lineup is good. This was great. With John, they were transcendent. And I had never heard of them until 2014.

I was there! My 1st Quo concert. Pete Kircher on drums. Would have preferred Coglan but it was not to be.

​@@andrewharkins4320 cool, from 1974? And 20 times? Lucky guy....did ever saw tv cameras at any of this shows? Im very interested to see some new footage of them

Thanks for sharing this. Fnatatsic to be able to hear the drone and Caroline and the announcements at the end fo the broadcast. Does anyone know who the Radio Clyde presenter was? Is Radio Clyde a BBC station or an independent one? I though I would add some credits, which I got from listening to the upload. A Radio Clyde broadcast Engineered by Tom Stevenson Rrcorded by Pete Shipton Mixed by Alister Owen Produced by Alan Boyd Not sure who the Radio Clude presenter was.

To answer my own question, the presentwr was most likwly the legend, Tom Russell, who did the Friday Night Rock Show on Radio Clyde. It's not someone I've ever heard, but then I dont live in Scotland or Manchester. The only reason it woulsnt be him is if someone was xoveeing that week but i think it unlikely.

You can't play "Backwater" without "Just Take Me"

Blimey that was expensive I have one somewhere for Newcastle City Hall for £2.40 from the 70's.

My first Quo gig was at the Glasgow Apollo in the early 70s and the ticket was 75p hard to believe but it is true the next one was £1.25. I have the ticket stubs somewhere.
