I'd hire All Mighty Senators too make it a fun grooving party.  If would also be fun to get original members of bands back together. Trip Shakespeare, Kansas, DP, or GFR ("defunct" haha) come to mind.

I think Status Quo, mid seventies line up with a hearty snort of Columbian produce pre-gig (unless their cardiologists disagree!). Possibly, just possibly, Francis Rossi would recognize me from that 1976 Wiesbaden gig when he spoke from the stage directly to me.

Love the way they cockney "Rain" here as if they were singing about the Rhine river rather than precipitation (of course Ken is gonna say that there is no other proper form of pronounciation!):

Oh yeah, no women allowed at that party either. They take all the fun out of listening to Quo and make silly remarks like: "Don't you think all their songs sound the same?"  :rolleyes: Air guitaring and doing the "Quo row", heads down, legs spread apart, would be mandatory of course.
