S?tackri9 9th Aug 2018		I took my twin sister to see Quo at this New Theatre show in October 73. We'd been enjoying listening to "Hello" since its release, and had known about the band since their early days with songs like "Pictures Of Matchstick Men". By now they'd established their trade mark twelve bar boogie sound with its insistent chugging beat - great for headbanging! So I got prime seats in the stalls, close to the stage - big mistake! They bounced onstage and Rick Parfitt banged out a single chord to test he was plugged in - and set off an earthquake of volume that had my sister reeling... After just a couple of bars of "Caroline" we had retreated right to the emergency exit doors at the back of the theatre, happy to get some relief from the din. Slowly we got used to it and crept back down the aisle to regain our vacated seats. By the end we were both happily bopping at the front of the stage with everyone else, but it had not been an entirely entertaining evening, just because we couldn't cope with the unbelievable volume - indoors, remember... The band was unbelievably athletic, running across the stage, obviously pumped with adrenalin and who knows what else? It was non-stop! They played most of the "Hello" album and their big showstoppers. Great entertainers, real crowd pleasers - but OMG, that noise...
