    Funny I was sitting in my car in the village of Eastry Kent UK 🇬🇧
    When they put live Aid on the radio and Quo opened it and I went from feeling pissed off with life from feeling on top of the bloody world 🌎 and they really made my day
    I can't understand why some people don't like Quo still it's their loss Quo is only the best BRITISH BAND IN THE WORLD and I'm proud to be a no1 fan of them
    RIP Ricky so sadly missed 😢😢😢❤ but I bet he's Rocking away up in heaven ❤ I really miss the good old days and wish I could go back again 😢 I no it's not possible but I've got my good memory of the good old days 😊
    Rock on and on.

      Well. They didn't want to play. At the time the band was done. Coghlan left a few years before and at the time (1985) Rossi and Alan were not getting along. Also between Rick and Francis things were not good at the time. Drugs and booze were all around. It was Bob Geldof that convinced them they had to be there. Quo hadn't played together for over a year and didn't have much time to do rehearsals. They just got on stage and played. On stage, looking at the audience and all the cameras, it was when they started to realise how big the event Live Aid was and afterwards how good it was they were the first band on stage that day (publicitywise).
