This song is FOREVER! Super cool intro - flowing away into this main riff together with this super heavy boogie rock rythm. John's drumming it driving the song on and on. Bang Bang Bang. It is so hard to describe how i feel and always felt hearing this. I am totally freaking out immediately and have to play "Air-Guitar" or "Air-Drums". This definitely is their most legendary song in my opinion. Get on your feet - legs spread - banging and shaking all along the way. A super classic. Greater than great. The super long version of the original "On the Level" album is even greater. Greetings from germany.
I remember when I was a young girl and we were listening to music with the boys they would always be playing Air-Guitar and we enjoyed it. I'm sure you too were good at it and I wonder if you also had the long hair boys had then and the girls loved the long hair (I still do).
Still my favorite band for over more than 50 years and it all started when this song was a hit in the Netherlands. And still listening at it nowadays... especially when I go through hard times. I can always comfort me still with listening to their music. Especially at the Frantic Four! ❤🎉❤
During their 'transition' period from their psychedelic pop of the 60's, they had two hit songs in 1970. Those songs were "In My Chair" and " Down the Dustpipe" During 1970 & 1971 QUO produced 2 of their best albums. They were "Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon" & "Dog of Two Head" Those two albums managed to sell in some European countries & Scandinavia which kept the Band afloat financially until they exploded with "Piledriver" in December 1972. For the next 10 years QUO were the best Rock Band in the Universe. Sadly Francis Rossi's Cocaine addiction saw his behaviour cause an acrimonious division within the Band of Brothers. After 20 years in the Band, John 'Spud' Coghlan left QUO, he was replaced by Pete Kircher whose Drum Kit sounded very inadequate with hollow sounding Toms. Alan 'Nuff' Lancaster desperately hung on to the Band he formed and created in 1962. Lancaster was very embarrassed by the direction Rossi was taking his Band. Their "1982" album & "Back to Back" album in 1983 only had a couple of decent Rock songs on each. When Alan left the Band that should've been the end of the road. When the court case handed the name "Status Quo" in favour of Francis Rossi & Rick Parfitt, Alan Lancaster said it was "like having one of your children abducted and abused" Alan told Francis not to come within arms length of him. The demise of THE GREATEST & BEST ROCK BAND of all time is probably the saddest story in music history. I read an article by a music critic who called Francis Rossi "THE ANTI-QUO" After Alan & John left QUO, the music deteriorated atrociously. 1991's "Rock 'til you Drop" brought some respectability to their name. It wouldn't be until 2002's "Heavy Traffic" that another good album would wear the name of Status Quo. From then onwards they produced some very good Rock albums. I mean extremely good albums. RIP - Alan "Nuff" Lancaster RIP - Rick "Reg" Parfitt
@@hey1908 Rossi couldn't have written the songs without their unofficial member Bob Young. Rossi wrote the lyrics and the very handsome Bob Young wrote the music. The Rossi/Parfitt songs are some of their best. Status Quo had several co-writers that contributed to their success. Bernie Frost co-wrote some great Quo songs and some awful songs as well. Andy Bown also co-wrote some great Quo songs. Even Pip Williams co-wrote some good Quo songs and some shockers. 90% of their 'QUO' album in 1974 was written by Parfitt/Lancaster. "Is There a Better Way" & "Rolling Home" are written by Rossi/Lancaster Just because Rossi was a major song writer for QUO doesn't redeem him for destroying them. Remember that Rossi is primarily a lyricist that relies on others to write the music. Yes, he did write "Matchstickmen" in its totallity, great song from 1968. The fact that Rossi can and did write great Rock songs for QUO and then steered them in a totally different direction makes him a traitor to the fans and to himself. The first person that Alan Lancaster recruited for his Band in 1962 was his classmate Francis Rossi. The QUO story is rife with ironies and hypocrisy. Some people think that "This is Spinal Tap' is based on QUO's story. If Shakespeare wrote a story about the tragic demise of a Rock Band it would be about STATUS QUO.
I would have loved to have seen these guys with Slade and sweet I did see them in early 70$ also Slade but never had chance to see sweet 70$ were awesome
Dank voor dit. Jammer van de spastische cameraman en ik weet dat status quo playback haatten. Dus knap dat ze dat deden. Nu prachtig om de Frantic Four terug te zien.
Francis was really good looking and had a great voice. What I don't understand is that it says Toppop and I'm guessing it means Top of the Pops but back then the bands didn't sing live but they look like that is what they are doing. I remember Curt Cobane having fun with the show because they wanted to sing live so they made sure everyone knew they were not and it was so funny. I hate when people don't sing live. I never understood that Britney got away with it.

Beste TopPop makers (en dat zijn er in totaal veel) Gewoon even zeggen dat het geweldig is dat jullie op trouwe wijze iedere keer met regelmaat ons trakteert op al die clips uit de archieven. Begint de bodem al in zicht te komen of kunnen we nog een tijd genieten van al deze juweeltjes? Dik verdiende pluim!
Dank voor je aardige woorden. We kunnen nog jaren vooruit met elke dag een upload. Check dit kanaal elke dag om18.00 uur en we hopen je te blijven verrassen...
@@toppop wereldwijd is het een hit toppop je ziet echt alle nationaliteiten voorbij komen van zuid afrika,nieuw zeeland tot amerika haha echt supper maar ja dit is ook puur goud deze history.
This video should be destroyed. The spinning upside down is very disconcerting. George Costanza said that he found this video to be very discombobulating.
If we could quantify the happiness that certains bands have brought to humanity, we would have to award them the Nobel Peace Prize.
Yes and mind the influence they had on soviet youth and how it helped to demilitarise of the world ;-)
Oh yes!
This video is Rick and Francis at their best, we all miss you Rick.🏴😀😂❤️😊🤩😃

Arguably the best hard rock band of all time time imo
Rock ja aber nicht Hardrock 😄😄😄😄
Great music and defiantly one of the best bands ever but that's not hard Rock!
@@roswithagotz2523 your confusing rock with heavy metal...they are not heavy metal is what you are trying to say
Rick Parfitt and Malcolm Young ...two mighty rythm machines 😍🤩❤ RIP guys, I miss you every day 😭
