*FACTS FROM THE ROAD

25.10.1995 - Allthrough an initial huge tour was scheduled for October & November with dates in Germany, Belgium, Holland and Scandinavium. All shows were cancelled with the explanation that the band needed time in the studio to finish the recording of the forthcoming "DON'T STOP" album. The dates were however rearranged for May 1996. The UK tour 1995 went ahead as scheduled.

27.11.1995 - Status Quo kicked off their annual UK-Tour in Manchester which was called "Don't Stop". It's the name of the covers album which was due to be out in February 1996 and the tour name should say "(please) Don't Stop Status Quo after 30 years". Until December 17 the band played 18 shows. Special guest are "Dear John".

28.01.1996 - the first ever fanclub gig of the offical "From the makers of..." fanclub was held at Brixton Academy,London. Status Quo introduced the songs of the new cover-album "Don't Stop" to around 3,000 fanclub members. The songs were played playback and the show was filmed and later released on VHS video. The Beach Boys were on stage to perform their song "Fun, Fun, Fun" together with Status Quo. Brian May appeared on stage when the song "Raining in my heart" was played. After a break the band returned to stage and played a 60 minutes Status Quo live set. Again Brian May appeared on stage to perform a stunning live version of the Shadows classic hit "F.B.I." in the encore. 

11.02.1996 - Status Quo performed at the start of the televised German Bundesliga match between Hamburger SV and Bayern Munich to play their new single "FUN FUN FUN" and promted their Hamburg concert in a sold out Volkspark Stadium. This was a notable performance, as Quo's drummer Jeff Rich was at one of his drum master classes at a school on the Falkland Islands and John Lingwood of Manfred Mann's Earth Band sat in for him.

16.05.1996 - the full Status Quo show at the Phillipshalle in Düsseldorf, Germany was braodcasted live via the german radiostation SWF3 in their series "Lifetime".

22.06.1996 - The Moscow show with Deep Purple was changed from the original date of 22nd June to the following day due to the demands of the TV broadcaster to fit in with scheduling, enabling the show to be performed to a live TV audience and reportedly a 75000 russian crowd within the stadium itself.

28.10.1996 - Status Quo having performed in Istanbul 3 days earlier, there seems to have been a possibility that the band may have played another show in Turkey. This time in Ankara. However any confirmation of this show having gone ahead is still being sought.
