I can't get enough of that sweet spot at 2:23 when the band explodes from the song structure into the solo and you can hear them all going hell for leather. The mighty Quo at their most breathtaking. This guitar solo alone puts Rossi up there with the greatest. Sublime!
Finally we got to hear how this song and its manificient solo goes till the end. In the album Hello it faded away. And this is a masterclass example how a rhythmguitar and a sologuitar work together and the engine room (bass and drums) makes a solid living fundament. My all time favorite Quo song.
I was lucky enough to see them in the late 70's and they were phenomenal live. Totally kicking asses here also. RIP Alan and Rick. In their prime they were peerless.
All the great rocking artists that were around in the 1970’s made a huge impression on the world of music - Status Quo, Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple…..
Now this is how rock'n'roll should be played. No frills, just a tight driving backbeat and some sensational guitar work. Can someone please show this to all the wannabes out there who claim they are rock??????
Absobloodylutely right. The best, tightest boogie woogie rock outfit there's ever been and the best line up too, Quo as they should be. Mr Rossi has his faults and internal feuds and politics fucked up a fantastic band which has never been surpassed but.....he is one hell of a guitar player!
Stunning live version of a classic QUO song. By far the best ever UK rock band. The Frantic Four. The one and only true QUO line up. Period. The magic they produce(d) on stage. Nothing comes even close.
I must say, they do tighten up as they go. Great performance. My fave part is where Alan is watching Francis playing his Lead part. Awesome. Fave member has always been NUFF, do I need to explain why? I think it is obvious to a blind Bat. RIP Alan you were the Backbone of the Band.
NOTHING BEATS THE ORIGINAL QUO THE SONGS WERE GREAT THE GUITAR DRUMS BASS EVERYTHING WERE SOMETHING TO GET EXCITED ABOUT LOVE THE OLD STATUS QUO R.I.P RICK MY FRIEND AND ALAN YOU MADE THE QUO.
And that should be how Quo should be, if I was any other member of the plastic quo I’d take a big breath, look in the mirror and say “ nah I can’t compete with that “ after the frantic four everything else is a karaoke / tribute band fed by Rossi’s massive ego, come on Quo fans deep inside you know it’s the truth putting aside your loyalty, there’s no escaping reality, there was, is, and always will be ONE STATUS QUO. THE FRANTIC FOUR.
in all of its orchestration and manifestation, this performance is absolutely the most beautiful declaration of rock and roll, that there has ever been, and will ever be. these guys are a part of my soul. amen. (forever 2017)
Not many bands could do this type of rock n roll ...they are a well oiled machine who never never fail to impress me they gave been in my blood since 1974
This is as pure of kickass rock as you’ll ever hear anywhere. Bang your head and enjoy. It doesn’t get any better than this. These guys are tearing it up!!!!!!
At 2: 23 al shouts eh rossi, this song is amazing, look at parfitts guitarplaying, he beats the guitar like hell, good pumping, extra strong boogie rock, absolutely great. Long live the FF, rib al and rick
NOW THATS ROCK!!!! Wow what an electric performance the energy the drive got my heart pumping and turned it up to max inctedible!!!!!!! Quo are the rock grandfathers !!!!!
I saw the Frantic Four reunion concert & the newer version of the band one week later, in Australia. I loved both line-ups equally. The emotion of the re-union & seeing Nuff again was wonderful. The concerts in Australia were certainly played at a more manic pace & Rhinos stagecraft is amazing. Rossi wrote most of the top ten singles, writes most of the melodies & is both a single note player & rhythm player. His voice & guitar playing is crisp & he is the identifying sound of Quo. For both lineups it very much felt like a Quo concert
Por eso STATUS QUO, es el mejor grupo de rock a nivel mundial, esas rolas tan chimgonas, los solos del maestro Francis Rossi es un deleite escucharlo y siempre con el mismo potencial
We were two nights in Hammersmith, best Event of my life 🥰This was STATUS QUO without Poprock-Country shit👍 FF-forever,perfect 💕I miss the old Times, Rick i love you. Cheers from Dortmund ♠️💛♠️
There was no one out there that played the guitar like Francis Rossi. The leader of Status Quo and guitarist extrordinaire for the classic Status Quo sound, along with Rick, Alan and John, soundwise.
The total personification of Quo with all of them totally in sync and performing at their best. all of it just stressing 'this is why we are the f***** best ladies and gentlemen'. And I know because I was there to hear it :) I had seen them about 6 or 7 times in 'the old days', but this was phenomenal.
seit ca 55 jahren hör ich quo und rockte sie auf mancher tanzfläche - es gibt keine größere erfüllung für mich - wird mich bis über den tod hinaus begleiten - danke jungs
saw them at brid 81/82 think it was about a £5 for ticket and bus through cavendish travel, came out of that soaked in sweat, then the demise with the crappy pop sound, began to resent rossi more after finding out he forced alan out of band, seemed like a bully rossi in collusion with rick, never been the same since frantic four mk1
There there Status Quo, you'll feel a lot better now that your wounds have healed & the scars are only a reminder of a body rejuvenated & spirits unbroken.
Excellent solo work by Francis Rossi but the truly amazing work is done by the late and great Rick Parfitt. Frantic Four? On the evidence of this song - Frantic One. Godalmighty, how could he keep up that punishing movement of his right hand?
The funny thing is with the original band Francis is just a scorching guitar player in a great rock n roll band but with rhino and the boys it’s just a greatest hits show!!!!!!
FF Magic, Rick's the best, unbelievable what a power, so glad i made that fantastic weekend 2013 London, best weekend of my life!! (my girlfriend don't like it when i say that, but it's true.....real Quo forever !!
@@deanbrookes165 I just wonder sometimes if Rossi (in his heart of hearts) has any lasting regrets regarding Alan going his separate ways and or Alan does too? I can sense a slight tension between them at any reunion when they are both onstage together, maybe that effects their playing and they aren't even aware of it or they are aware of it and pretend not to be and fail?... The tension (however slight) is understandable given they are both founding members of Quo.. We as the public will probably never know for sure about any regrets or the very core details of the split.. But speaking as an ex drummer I think the drums and bass are the powerhouse core of any band.. Once John left and then Alan....that unique mix of powerhouse, rhythm and lead guitar with Andy Bown (I never forget to include him if I can) never quite gelled the same again, for me anyway. Hard to explain at the best of times.

The government should pass a law saying rock stars of this calibre are forbidden to get old.
Masz racje bracie

Mesmerising
The glorious Blues & Rock of the 60's, 70's will NEVER be beaten for every genre of music. Those of us who lived it knew it was a special era.
51 tears later. STILL my favourite Quo song, Rossi's best solo work, Nuff's booming bass, Rick in real rock mode, and Spud well away.
Brilliant solo, I keep going back just to listen to the solo!
For me too ! Great song ! So pleasant to see them again (Alan and John back). Emotion l !
The real deal not Panto Quo.

I lucky to see them play in a little village close to where I use to live. Got better and better
Oh my god... This is pure rock and roll. Rest in peace Rick Parfitt. The best ever. Thank you.
Err, yeah - that's just proper rock n roll! A fantastic performance, I absolutely love this.
Nothing has changed! They are brilliant when together. Am glad I saw them the Frantic Four. God bless you Rick xxx
It doesn't get any better than this! A lot of youngsters who think they know rock could do a lot worse than listen to the Quo.
Just happy iv lived on this planet same time as the Quo to see them live countless times.
They will still be talking about the Quo in 100 years.
RIP Alan and Rick will never be forgotten the real quo.

A lot of Quo's greatest songs are not strictly Rock-'n'-roll . They are Boogie Woogie and none the worse for that .
@@ideyboo Boogie Woogie Rock-'n'-roll . 👍
@@bobgibb2781 never mind what kind of music you call it, but it all sounds absolutely fantastic !
Stunning live version of a classic QUO song. By far the best ever UK rock band. The Frantic Four. The one and only true QUO line up. Period. The magic they produce(d) on stage. Nothing comes even close.
They still get my adrenaline flowing even yet watching this video. This IS QUO!
I never tire of hearing this song magically played the FF ...pure awesomeness
RIP Rick. Finest Rock Rhythm guitarist ever.
He was the best ❤
I must say, they do tighten up as they go. Great performance.
My fave part is where Alan is watching Francis playing his Lead part. Awesome.

But fans? Dead sticks standing with cell phones... Failure to me... At least great cheer at the end...

Rick ... legend on this. RIP, and thanks for the memories.
I want a Rick cam on this ... he absolutely nails this
Absolute Weltklasse diese Band. Ich bin seit 1973 ein großer Fan von SQ, auch live

“Little Blue Lady is one my favourite song by Status Quo”
👑
If This is one of your favourites then please get your facts and the title right………
BLUE EYED LADY !!!!
Now was that so difficult?
Por eso STATUS QUO, es el mejor grupo de rock a nivel mundial, esas rolas tan chimgonas, los solos del maestro Francis Rossi es un deleite escucharlo y siempre con el mismo potencial
я согласен
Rick was a machine on that guitar 🎸
Over 50 years ago this group had me. Hook line and sinker. And to think 50 years later they still had it. Here’s a thought. 50 years is half a century
We were two nights in Hammersmith, best Event of my life 🥰This was STATUS QUO without Poprock-Country shit👍
FF-forever,perfect 💕I miss the old Times, Rick i love you.
Cheers from Dortmund ♠️💛♠️
magic and brilliant,best quo ever.
Saw Quo live twice, absolutely epic and loud as fuxk.....
Bloody brilliant 👍👏💪
years have passed, but their music hasn't..sounds so damn good..
The outside of the guitars is worn, but the Quo certainly isn't !!! Fantastic, awesome !!!
Love this song, it never grows old . Frantic Four rule !
Fabulous still magical after all these years, best band ever ❤️
Just listened to it again.....the day is set!!
Bravo¡ my favorite english players...beautiful Rick Francis Alan John ¡¡¡¡¡
Alan, Rick and John are Status Quo. Francis was just along for the ride !!!!!
There was no one out there that played the guitar like Francis Rossi. The leader of Status Quo and guitarist extrordinaire for the classic Status Quo sound, along with Rick, Alan and John, soundwise.
Best sound ever

So great.Status Quo is the best Band of the World.I,ve always been a fan of this
What a band..Such energy.
I don’t care they are the best live band of all time
Love that driving rythmn guitar. Great stuff.
Ye gods.....just think how good they were back in the 70s!! Bloody fantastic!

Can't get much better than this.
The real Quo , often imitated , never bettered .
WOW.................... simply WOW.
Mon premier concert, j'avais 14 ans. J'en ai 58, quel bonheur. RIP RICK.
Beautiful.. led in bed after a long week in work
proper!!!! great song original line!!!
Ilove this song!!! Real rock and roll!!!!
And that, kiddies, is how you do it!!! 🎸
I have a tear 😢 in my eye as I do this comment,spa theatre brid 1976 tickets £1_50, thirty bob in Old money,what a gig,rember if it was yesterday
saw them at brid 81/82 think it was about a £5 for ticket and bus through cavendish travel, came out of that soaked in sweat, then the demise with the crappy pop sound, began to resent rossi more after finding out he forced alan out of band, seemed like a bully rossi in collusion with rick, never been the same since frantic four mk1
Tjs 1 régal de voir la réunification et le morceau interprété tel le vinyl de l époque...d'enfer ...sans 1 ride
This is the best one ever🤙
Super rock&roll music group.
All class. From all of them. Superb.
Still the Best line up !!!!!!!!
They are the best,and i miss them.
Terrific-never seen/heard this
one done live🤙
There there Status Quo, you'll feel a lot better now that your wounds have healed & the scars are only a reminder of a body rejuvenated & spirits unbroken.
Rick was relentless on this. Shame it wasn’t often in the set.
Fabulous band the best ever
Rick working his nuts off with this one.
That's what he always did - from the thundering opening riff of Caroline to the end
Yes they are the best
This is the real Quo.
R.i.p.Rick
Totally kick ass song
Status quo best song.
Excellent solo work by Francis Rossi but the truly amazing work is done by the late and great Rick Parfitt. Frantic Four? On the evidence of this song - Frantic One. Godalmighty, how could he keep up that punishing movement of his right hand?
EmmaPeelman Alan and John were fantastic as well as they all gel and it was Alan who co wrote this
The funny thing is with the original band Francis is just a scorching guitar player in a great rock n roll band but with rhino and the boys it’s just a greatest hits show!!!!!!
Você nunca é velho demais para o rock and roll, como diria Jethro Tull....
Grande gruppo musicale 🎼 pazzesco negli anni 70
What a bloody band!!!
Ditto!! I love that song
Rick was on a par that’s how good the quo became 🤙
FF Magic, Rick's the best, unbelievable what a power, so glad i made that fantastic weekend 2013 London, best weekend of my life!! (my girlfriend don't like it when i say that, but it's true.....real Quo forever !!
Alan and Rick, we still love ❤ you!

Fransis & rick = R&Roll in optima forma, great it is
Absolutely magic
QUE GRAN BANDA MUSICAL ES STATUS QUO ATTE CANITO NAVARRO O CANITO ÉL POETA DE SAN FERNANDO CHILE
просто сказка
с ними не сравнится никто
Jesus, once you get the original four together it really does all fall into place.. For me anyway..
Paw X Paw I agree heavy and francis plays better

Rossi is still playing a good spade on this, together with "Big Fat Mama" my 2 old favorite Que numbers
Magic.
