One of the GREATEST pieces of music to emerge from the 70's. I'd go so far as to say it's "timeless classic rock" from the era, a GREAT time to be alive....😊
Sono un ragazzo 14enne, ascolto questa incredibile musica, e sono proprio curioso di vedere quanti italiani aprono una canzone di sto livello!!! Un abbraccione a tutti!
Last year, I did a poll in one of my facebook groups on who had the best intro. The choices I offered were this song, Stairway to heaven, Takin Care of Business, Aqualung, Hells Bells and, Time, from Pink Floyd. User added dozens of their own selections, too. Quo won with 87,000 votes. Zepp had 22K+ BTO had 13k+ Tull had 33k+ ACDC had 45k+ Floyd had 27k+

I was eleven years old when this masterpiece was released. Have read from "Status Quo" in the german magazin called "Bravo". This band was some kind of cool compared with the "wimpy" stuff like Abba or Boney M. or whoever. In those days you can see several girls and boys wearing jeans jackets with patches from "Quo". Those were the cool ones! I wanted to be like them! Was listening to the radio a lot back then and taping the music i like. Mostly the pop charts. Suddenly the guy on the radio played the title track of this album. I was totally blown away! Totally! You have to know that it was very difficult to get "new music" because of too little pocket-money and your mates didn't have that much records, too. Building a network was absolutely important back then. It was a time of searching and exploring. A never ending thing. So i bought the original tape of this album and listened to it a hundred or thousand times. No one could know back then that this album and especially the title track would become epic years later. In the years to come i got all the Quo albums. Cannot describe the moment when i put them (never heard before....) on my record player. Breathtaking! Greetings from germany.
I have seen Quo in concert more than 20 times from the late 70’s to early 80’s…..bands today don’t come close! 12 gold bars indeed - Rockin’ all over the world & I like it!

This song has a special place in my life. It reminds me of my desperate days when I was away from home, sttuggling and battling addiction and mental disorders in isolation. Even though that was an institution for Masters In Counseling Psychology, I never benefit from it. I can't do my studies. So, I was in a spiral of depression to the point where I was not afraid to die. During those times I drank heavily and popped some pills. The more I did it the harder and lower I got. I was stuck in a loop desperate to run out but none was there. I missed my family and friends but I didn't leave my house and friends to go back whenever I was in desperation because I had joined a prestigious college in India reserved for top students. Sometimes I walked to the roof our hostel and sleep on the floor looking at the skies and moon while smoking, thinking, 'All my loves are also under that same moon but how far away we are'. Everyday was a battle field. I walk through and to every corner skipping class hoping to feel better seeing novel things. That helps, but I knew what was waiting for me when I went back. Doomed, stressed, anxious. Looking back at those days and myself, I pity that man. Nothing did make sense at all during those times and never know what and how lessons were scripted for me in this journey. It was in those times that I listened continuously to Status Quo(since my father used to play when we were young) and that was that. I couldn't hold any more so, a big big decision was made and I went home since my principal, teachers and my parents(who contacted each others frequently) thought I was walking in the road of death. During those hard times of 2-3months, this song is one of those which I listened frequently. My restless brain and my poor non energetic body was looking for something. Even when I went home, my sickness follows. But I have the courage and understanding to view those days as a lesson now, not that it was less of a hard experience. Status Quo, go on living as long as this world is living. 09:24 23.4.23(IST)
Auguri ad entrambi, l'importante è essere a casa, con i propri familiari ed avere la forza di andare avanti. Io ne so qualcosa, 6 anni fa a seguito di una caduta dalla scala ho avuto una frattura multipla e scomposta, sono stata operata 2 volte, sono rimasta per 6 mesi sulla sedia a rotelle. Fatto terapia, adesso sto bene , porto i tacchi. Mi ha aiutato moltissimo la Musica dei Pink Floyd. Dai ragazzi forza e andiamo avanti. Non disperate. AUGURIIIIIIIIIIII !!!!!!! ,
Love this...what an intro. Wow! Those lyrics, so cheeky. 'I can take you home on the midnight train again, I can make an offer you can't refuse'... So good.
So love the Quo! Seen then 4 times with my dad who loves them. I remember listening the albums as a child in the 80's. You can't help but start moving the the incredible beat that Quo have!
The best Quo singles used to transcend boundaries. I was at school when this came out, and I remember punks, goths, New Romantics, prog snobs all fucking loved this song!!
@@blancatorres1047 it actually says in description, but it was 1979. It was the title track from the album. They started back in early 60's with their first hit in late 60's, but the golden period (in my opinion) was the 70's. They have been hammered over the years for being 3 chord wonders but I think by people who haven't really listened to their music, if you do, it is very wide in its scope. Do yourself a favour, have a look on Wiki for all the details on the band (some of which you will find amazing!!) & their album listings, U Tube will do the rest & rediscover what you have been missing...............cheers & enjoy
Quo is like family, they are always arround in our life, up to the end. There are a lot of very good bands, but you know is not Quo, you hear the music starting and the legs are out of control and you know I´m home
What a classic song,the intro is just brilliant,Rick had it nailed,Richie Malone is good but it doesn't sound the same as when Rick played it. R I P Rick. You will always be my status quo hero.

Great music comes from God via hard-working caring artists for the benefit of all which is why it comforts us. Quo forever and ever.
Every pub jukebox should have this song. It's a bona fide rock classic
Still great after all these years, nothing compares . . .
Still one of the best intros EVER from a ridiculously talented band. Rick Parfitt’s ( RIP ) tele should b in the HOF.
Absolutely class.
Love this...what an intro. Wow! Those lyrics, so cheeky. 'I can take you home on the midnight train again, I can make an offer you can't refuse'... So good.
One of the greatest rock songs ever written. R.I.P. Alan.
Today's so called "musicians" come no where NEAR close to the great music of the 70's/80's. Back then, they HAD great talent....❤️
Couldn’t agree more !!!☘️
🙏 😢 RIP Alan and thank you for the awesome music!
Fantastic, just can't beat the frantic four, 40 years a member of the Quo army, I'l never tire of hearing these tunes, Golden
So love the Quo! Seen then 4 times with my dad who loves them. I remember listening the albums as a child in the 80's. You can't help but start moving the the incredible beat that Quo have!
Frankly, I had heard of these guys but never their music. A friend recommended it today. WOW!
Ya dont know what ya missing out on bro 👍
Get yourself "On the level", "Quo" and "Hello", best freakin' albums IMHO.
This is rock and roll played for the sheer enjoyment of playing it, and listening to it. I dare anyone to say that they don't enjoy this song.
Quel groupe fantastique je les ais vu a Toulouse dans les annees 80 un souvenir fantastique.😎😎😎
Gaaf nummer van de status quo❤❤😅😅
The best Quo singles used to transcend boundaries. I was at school when this came out, and I remember punks, goths, New Romantics, prog snobs all fucking loved this song!!
Excellent song from the ending 70's or the early 80's. Just wonderful! 👍💥❤
Quo will never die...the simplicity fun and love for the music
My first concert! I was 16 years old and loved 'Whatever you want'....The Birmingham NEC UK....way back!
Memories of holiday in Porto Soller Majorca 1982 , juke box on beach this track playing every 30 minutes
one of the great bands of the 70s, and of all time.
What a riff, brilliant.
Pure gold!
There'll neva ever be bands like them again!!!
i love this song so tough ... great riffs and all is perfect ..reminds me on my youth. a real feelgood song . golden rock 70"s
1979: Amazing!
2019: 40 years still Amazing!!
AMEN to THAT!😃
💙💛🌹💜🍎🇺🇸
41 years now my friend, see you next year..
To anyone, who knows Status Quo nowadays, I love you so much!!
Magnífica banda, buenísima música, siempre me han encantado !!❤❤❤
Rock n roll for life🎶🔥💯
I wasn't born when this song came out but I love it ❤❤❤
You know it's a good tune if the entire band is bopping to it
I was 18 years old when this song came out and I still love it!
I was 16 & still got the vinyl album...........
When was that? I remember the band's name but really don't know their music. I am just going back to great bands I remember from my childhood.

always loved the various video effects..classic QUO rocker
Man rock solid rhythm. Great band.
R.I.P. Alan Lancaster, we will miss you.
A great guitar riff to open the song...Quo at its best...
Quo is like family, they are always arround in our life, up to the end. There are a lot of very good bands, but you know is not Quo, you hear the music starting and the legs are out of control and you know I´m home
Possibly, Quo's greatest ever single.
I listen to this one over and over, it's a great tune.
i grew up with status quo nostalgic
Status Quo the band with the best guitar intro's and shuffle groove
That's the way music should be played 👍
Love this song !!!!! Not exactly in my 20’s but FuuuuK this song makes me feel like I am !!!!!!
That was Rock & Roll , a perfection !
J'adore comme c'est pas possible ❤❤❤❤
