*FACTS FROM THE ROAD

21.09.1991 - Status Quo wrote music history and without doubt another highlight in the band's career. It was the 21st of September 1991 but for the band and all their fans it was the "Rock til you drop-Day". On this day Status Quo played 4 shows in different cities in UK in less than 12 hours (exactly 11h 11min) and achieved entry into the Guiness-book of records. They played sell-out shows at Sheffield Arena, Glasgow SE&CC, Birmingham NEC and London's Wembley Arena. A total of 40,000 fans came up to see Status Quo on their record attempt and raised over 200,000 pounds for charity. All receipts were given to the Nordoff-Robbins-Music Theraphy Trust and to the Brits Performing Arts and to local charity subjects. The whole day was filmed and later published on a double-Video. It took one year to organize and manage the "one-day-UK-Tour". Seriously the most unique way to promote a forthcoming album. 

18.01.1992 - Bob Young and John Coghlan (with some members of the Diesel Band) was in the audience at this gig in Gothenburg, this was the first Status Quo gig for John since he left the band..

07.06.1992 - the so called "ISLAND-HOPPING"-Tour started at the Isle of Man on the "Mad Sunday" of the annual motorcycle-race TT Trophy. Status Quo played in front of a 16,000 sell-out crowd at King Georges Park of Douglas. 2 shows in St.Peter Port at the island of Guernsey followed and then 3 gigs in St.Helier on the island of Jersey. Another planned show at the Isle of Wight had to be cancelled because of financial problems of the local promoter. This show was later rescheduled on 10th November.

18.08.1992 - At Quo's gig in Madrid Legané the band have to stop and left the stage because of heavy rain. Also during the track "In The Army Now" the lightning rig collapsed and the band came back after 40 minutes and went straight into Rockin'all Over The World and ended the set with a full Roadhouse Blues Medley. You'll find a photo from this gig in the tour programme of "Live Alive Quo" and the single front cover for "Roadhouse Medley".
