Saw Quo in 82,83,84,and 85. An absolutely superb live band.I missed the frantic four getting back together.Must of been in a coma. I temporarily grew out of rock. But never Quo. The epitome of cool. Honest, down to earth, no frills or nonsense rock and roll. God I miss em. Watching this takes me right back.
I was there, wasn't gonna miss that for the world. They said they were crap that day, but they were amazing, they were so up for it. Fantastic day. I remember Gary Glitter came on and the plastic bottles that started flying towards the stage was a sight to behold!
Backwater is my fave Status Quo song. No coincidence that it's an Alan Lancaster song. He was the only real rocker in that band, well maybe John Coghlan too. Rossi and Parfitt, when left on their own, only proved themselves to be a couple of wimps,
Just Supposin' (from 3 years earlier) was the last great Quo album, and I'm amazed Alan stayed this long given the direction Rossi was taking the band. The original Quo were such a treasured British institution. R.I.P. Mr. Lancaster and Mr. Parfitt - you are missed.
amazing i was only 1 when they did this i went my first gig in 86 at just 3 years old and now 21 years later i am still rockin they are the best and my dad was at this gig
I still see me and my mom in 1974 i was 16 years and my mom nearly 50 and she found i fantastic to see these guy's " He granny do you like it "was one of the questions she get that night QUO FOREVER
Saw them 4 times on this tour. Milton Keynes was an helluva day but their gig at Hammersmith odeon would take some beating. Great venue with a class band.
been a Quo fan for ever!! it was sad and unfortunate what they did to Alan.... from what i can gather, he is still bitter about it to this day. maybe John saw the light and got out while the getting was good? John was a far better drummer and the band lost some of it's "feel" once he departed.
YEAH!!! POR EL BENDITO INFIERNO UNA DE SUS MEJORES CANCIONES!!! REALMENTE INCOMPARABLE!!!!!! SOLO QUO YEAH!! FOR THE BLESSED HELL ONE OF HIS BETTER SONGS!!! REALLY INCOMPARABLE!!!!!! ALONE QUO...........
on the vid looking out over the crowd,you"ll see a end of the road flag being waved,me and my mate were just to the right of the guy holding it.got up on my mates shoulder to try to get on film as you do,and got a steak and kidney pie in the back of me head for my trouble!
[Backwater / Just Take Me] Down at Backwater junction rolling down the line In the dark early morning I heard the one-forty-nine I was walking down the highway, needed somewhere to go A lady laid beside me and she invited me home She led me cold, tired and hungry down the backwater road In a house on the corner looking over the track I woke up with a fever and a pain in my back She was lying there beside me, my fever started to grow Had a funny feeling but the lady said no My lover needs a doctor down the Backwater Road Whatcha lookin' for, whatcha lookin' for Lady do you know what cha' lookin' for Was I wrong to play along? Lady was I right or lady was I wrong? Backwater doctor, you've got me breathing in time It's ten-thirty in the morning and I'm feeling alright I went back to my lady but I wasn't to know Lady left this morning and she's not coming home I was cold when she left me down the Backwater Road I am just a poor man, got nowhere to go All my leaves have fallen, left me all alone If I was a rich man, if I was a king I would give you all I have, give you everything If you'd just take me, just take me now If you'd just take me Never seen my daddy, died when I was two Mama did the best she could, taught me all she knew Said that love was everything, tears came to her eyes Never knew the meaning, now I realise Love is all you need, all you need now If you just take me I'm trying hard to get you, I'm not the only one Never had a big car, but I'm not on the run If love has got a meaning see it in my eyes If you see the beginning, then you'd realise Love is all you need, all you need now If you just take me Just take me Just take me now Won't you just take me
@GuitarGuy5000000000 pete helped them through a difficult period, and done bloody well to fill in when john left, i prefer pete to john, many of you may disagree, but i just prefered his sound, and he was great in this concert, live aid, and at the nec 82
This was the last tour that Quo really were still at their best, after this they deteriorated and ultimatum faded to a very poor representation of just how great they used to be.
must also mean you didn't like andy or pete then because they technically aren't real quo neither, as rick has said there was something magical about the ff but there is something magical about the new line up matt is by far the best quo drummer they have had
the real status quo, thanks {snort} rossi for splitting up one of the best blues and rock bands ever, to sink them into a joke band, rip alan and rick the true voices of quo
Backwater is great but Just Take Me is magic. This version is my favourite....but only when it's very LOUD. I lost interest after Alan left the image and sound completely changed glad they recorded Milton Keynes. Made a big mistake by not releasing that on record at the time. A real shame....
Nice video, Quo today are for the people at the retirement house. Quo without Lancaster and Coghlan are sad too see and hear. Rossi / Francis are probebly GAY.
Rest In Peace, Alan Lancaster!
A a trully great musician!
Alan Lancasters the only man that can sing backwater rip A L R P
Definitely @@madcarly
RIP Alan Lancaster, the original and best.
Lancasters vocals are some of the best Quo songs

The Rolling Stones have the moniker of being the best rock and roll band. But coming from across the pond, I beg to differ!!
Status Quo, pure rock. 58 yrs old and still play their music LOUD
U still alive at 69?
Lancaster was so cool!!! He left Quo just before I was born, he was the proper rocker of the band, ROCK N ROLL!!!!
I was there, wasn't gonna miss that for the world. They said they were crap that day, but they were amazing, they were so up for it. Fantastic day. I remember Gary Glitter came on and the plastic bottles that started flying towards the stage was a sight to behold!

R.I.P Alan Lancaster.. the better half of Quo..
Status Quo uma banda de rock com muito solo, ritmos e que levantava qualquer público.
There's something about Quo ,
that make put my foot down when I'm driving in my Car.
One hell of a band. Take care R
And bang your dashboard!!
WOW.....after all these years great to hear and see QUO again and again and again.
Y the song of mi life ... since more than 40 years Thanks Colins Lancaster Parfitt and Rossi ....I m down the Backwater road !
QUO is the best album they have ever done - It would be good if they did Slow Train live as that was the best song on the album in my opinion.
Testemony of my life ! The real Quo !!!
amazing i was only 1 when they did this i went my first gig in 86 at just 3 years old and now 21 years later i am still rockin they are the best and my dad was at this gig
What a day that was.One i will never forget.Had to have the following week off work due to a stiff neck!Rock on.
Alan Lancaster. Uno de mis bajistas preferidos. Un saludo Alan. Allí en la otra vida seguro que existe el Rock and Roll.
never knew he sang lead.....he can hold it all down for sure...
An Absolute Classic!!!!!
I agree. Two great songs. Benoit Vanhees doesn't know what he's talking about.
i just can't get enough of these two song,s quotastic
I still see me and my mom in 1974 i was 16 years and my mom nearly 50 and she found i fantastic to see these guy's " He granny do you like it "was one of the questions she get that night QUO FOREVER
Saw Quo on their Piledriver
Hello. and
Quo tours in the early to mid 70’s
Great band.
Pure Quo... Pure Class!!
Andy on the cowbell!! Luv it. cheers for posting.
Saw them 4 times on this tour. Milton Keynes was an helluva day but their gig at Hammersmith odeon would take some beating. Great venue with a class band.
Amen to that. Saw them at the old Oxford Apollo on that tour. Amazing show. RIP Rick.
I was there! I remember it like it was today! Only Quo Makes it Possible! :)
R.I.P Alan Lancaster
The Original and the Best QUO line up
Rick & Frame back to back.... :-D love it.
I had the two videos from the EOTR tour, and they got nicked in a burglary. And now this is here. I think I love you....
I was there. Immense concert.
Parfitt at 4.05. Rhythm at its best. R.I.P Alan and Rick.
been a Quo fan for ever!! it was sad and unfortunate what they did to Alan.... from what i can gather, he is still bitter about it to this day. maybe John saw the light and got out while the getting was good? John was a far better drummer and the band lost some of it's "feel" once he departed.
I was there!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing drumming too
Quo were such a great band
I was there. Goosebumps.
STATUS Quo is my favourite Band ALL the time I Would like to Meet You ALL STATUS
I personally think that these two songs/this medley are/is the best thing/s they ever did.
Can’t beat this line-up with Alan , Rick and Francis. Pity Alan was booted out for that dopey Rhino !!
YEAH!!! POR EL BENDITO INFIERNO UNA DE SUS MEJORES CANCIONES!!! REALMENTE INCOMPARABLE!!!!!!
SOLO QUO
YEAH!! FOR THE BLESSED HELL ONE OF HIS BETTER SONGS!!! REALLY INCOMPARABLE!!!!!!
ALONE QUO...........
.... from the legendary album ' QUO '.
on the vid looking out over the crowd,you"ll see a end of the road flag being waved,me and my mate were just to the right of the guy holding it.got up on my mates shoulder to try to get on film as you do,and got a steak and kidney pie in the back of me head for my trouble!
Brilliant !
I thought it was you buddy 🏴🤣🤣
einmal Quo immer Quo
I hope quo back to America one more time
The Frantic Four tours were a gift from the rock gods , pity Rossi called a halt to them when he did ☹
Classic Quo Indeed...
First video cassette I ever bought, even before I got a Vcr !!!!
didier genin Hope you bought one later ;-)
When Status Quo lost Alan Lancaster, their original bassist, they lost a lot of their energy.
My teenage kids tell ME to turn this down.........Lancaster = Legend.
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quo is their best album if you sak me.
Status Quo el grupo favorito de ciudad Neza en México 100 %
Los mejores de todos los tiempos status quo
Takes me back to when I wore double denim 😅
Waoooo!!!!!!! Like... Like like..
Rip Rick. Rip Allan ❤❤❤
Love Alan Lancaster
Favourite Rossi solo
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
first time I saw these 1974 aged 15, dressed in denims, white shirt, waistcoat and baseball boots
leggendari !
C'est top !
[Backwater / Just Take Me]
Down at Backwater junction rolling down the line
In the dark early morning I heard the one-forty-nine
I was walking down the highway, needed somewhere to go
A lady laid beside me and she invited me home
She led me cold, tired and hungry down the backwater road
In a house on the corner looking over the track
I woke up with a fever and a pain in my back
She was lying there beside me, my fever started to grow
Had a funny feeling but the lady said no
My lover needs a doctor down the Backwater Road
Whatcha lookin' for, whatcha lookin' for
Lady do you know what cha' lookin' for
Was I wrong to play along?
Lady was I right or lady was I wrong?
Backwater doctor, you've got me breathing in time
It's ten-thirty in the morning and I'm feeling alright
I went back to my lady but I wasn't to know
Lady left this morning and she's not coming home
I was cold when she left me down the Backwater Road
I am just a poor man, got nowhere to go
All my leaves have fallen, left me all alone
If I was a rich man, if I was a king
I would give you all I have, give you everything
If you'd just take me, just take me now
If you'd just take me
Never seen my daddy, died when I was two
Mama did the best she could, taught me all she knew
Said that love was everything, tears came to her eyes
Never knew the meaning, now I realise
Love is all you need, all you need now
If you just take me
I'm trying hard to get you, I'm not the only one
Never had a big car, but I'm not on the run
If love has got a meaning see it in my eyes
If you see the beginning, then you'd realise
Love is all you need, all you need now
If you just take me
Just take me
Just take me now
Won't you just take me
1:36 Audio Backwater. Video "I said Bye Bye Johnny, Bye Bye Johnny B Goode"...
Waaauw I never knew the bass-player sung this song...
John's drumming is sadly missing on Just Take Me.
Ich liebe Status Quo nun holt aber nicht gleich massenweise 70 Jahre alte Kisten aus dem Keller
@GuitarGuy5000000000 pete helped them through a difficult period, and done bloody well to fill in when john left, i prefer pete to john, many of you may disagree, but i just prefered his sound, and he was great in this concert, live aid, and at the nec 82
Come on Alan !
@dancer4825 i think that was the last time they played america , didnt get the reception they wanted , but who cares , we got em .
Quo said “Fuck America “
Wat ne geile Band !
Hab den Arsch damals net hochgekriegt..
KIITOS!!!
@robinkatt they may be old they r certainly not gay but at least they keep the spirt of quo alive
QUO at there best!!
No problem.
This is real quo, not the shit like rocking all over and so on...
Pete Kircher is the name of the drummer.
@GuitarGuy5000000000 people complain about his lack of skill and whatever but on the songs he played he really slammed down that foot pedal.
ok thanks
I got 25 year old all my life listen quo and I wanna die listen quo forever
This was the last tour that Quo really were still at their best, after this they deteriorated and ultimatum faded to a very poor representation of just how great they used to be.
Who was the drummer at the time would love know it looks like John Trechan.
Pete Kircher
@rebel19821 That's true. I'm still more into John's heavier sound though.
They still use Vox Amps. They route into a Voxamp in the backline and then use Marshall to amplify the sound
must also mean you didn't like andy or pete then because they technically aren't real quo neither, as rick has said there was something magical about the ff but there is something magical about the new line up matt is by far the best quo drummer they have had
the real status quo, thanks {snort} rossi for splitting up one of the best blues and rock bands ever, to sink them into a joke band, rip alan and rick the true voices of quo
Sacking John and then Alan was the end of the band for me , never bought their albums after John left and never saw them live again after Alan left !
@@mikewest1542not only for you!
O.K folks!!!
theres something i never knew they used vox amps ,always thought it was marshall
The Rock Guitarist Archetypes
what was the name of that drummer?
Pete Kircher, often overlooked in Quo as he only had a brief stint. Brilliant stand in for John though 🤘🏻
Backwater is great but Just Take Me is magic. This version is my favourite....but only when it's very LOUD. I lost interest after Alan left the image and sound completely changed glad they recorded Milton Keynes. Made a big mistake by not releasing that on record at the time. A real shame....
It's a shame it's not John on drums but still excellent.
Who’s the drummer ?
Pete Kircher
Nice video, Quo today are for the people at the retirement house. Quo without Lancaster and Coghlan are sad too see and hear. Rossi / Francis are probebly GAY.
Gay ? They have had more shags than you have had hot dinners !
The Quo who rossi destroyed
