    I saw Quo and Slade in '73 at the Melbourne Showgrounds (Australia) and it pissed down most of the day, but didn't stop the crowd from witnessing a kick arse concert!! been hooked on both bands ever since.. 🤘

    Y'know... he's a lovely fella to listen to, there doesn't seem to be a bit of the 'do you know who I am?' crap about him, or big headedness, just a very sincere guy.

      Saw em at the marquee in the early eighties, there were punks, rockabillies, skins, rockers, casuals, teds, soul boys, ska, new romantics all people whose musical tastes had gone in different directions after the glam era, I thought it was going to go off big time....nah, one big party 👍

      Yep. I flew from Dubai to Austria to see Quo. The management said I could meet them backstage. Rick said ok. Rossi said no. Rick came out pre show and met us in the seating area.

    Loved Slade on our side of the Pond. Imagine seeing them in a club that only held 200 and everyone was on top of each other enjoying the hell out of them in the mid 70s.

    If you never got to see Slade live you missed something very special, i have seen all the top bands live since the late 60s, and Slade were by far the best live band of the lot.

      I saw them 5 times, all before they were famous. They were playing town halls and small clubs at that time. Realised then they were a great band and still think that today.

      Blue Oyster Cult followed them and Jim told us the manager of BOC was absolutley livid as in Spinal Tap fashion....the crowd were still chanting Slade, Slade, & singing Merry Xmas Everybody...in August....when BOC took to the stage.

    Rick’s memory is failing here. When Slade were skinheads they didn’t have any hits. When they grew their hair back they took England, and the rest of the world (except the US), by storm. Slade were the biggest band around for 3 years. That’s why Quo supported them when Slade went to Australia. Slade were the biggest selling band in Britain in the seventies. I love Quo, but Quo weren’t in the (big hits) picture really, until 1975 with Down Down etc. They were more of an albums band.

    • @flashtheoriginal
      @flashtheoriginal 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yes, this is absolutely correct. I saw Thin Lizzy (superb) and Suzi Quattro (booed off) support Slade and the timeline here clearly dictates that Quo would have been underneath Slade's sales, fame, commercialism, fan base etc. In fact Quo would have bitten an arm off to get on the bill supporting Slade.

    Sounds like there is some other chemical involved in that thai stick. Sounds as though there may have been some LSD in it as well

      No, Thai weed was (maybe still is) much more powerful than your regular stuff. One hit and you could be in fairy land for a while. Those "bad trips" like Rick had happened to me from time to time. Hawaiian was even stronger.

They were dangerously loud, my hearing was affected for a few days after that gig. Motorhead was loud (seen Stokvishal Arnhem 1982) but not that loud.
