    I was 15 in 74, when I first heard this song, now I'm 64 and still listen to status Quo and so do my neighbours 😂, a timeless classic from one of the greatest bands you'll ever hear.

    Bought every album on the day of release in the seventies. Saw Status Quo countless times. Only when I tried to learn guitar in my fifties did I finally realise what an utter genius powerhouse guitarist was Rick Parfitt. The Rossi/Parfitt Telecaster frontline is one of the greatest ever.

    I'm a huge fan of 70's complicated Prog Rock and I love the Quo. I never understand why some people juge their music as "basic" and "simple" (not to say "stupid"). Their vocal harmonies and instrumental arremgements were just brillant. They found so many great melodies on the 3 blues chords. Nobody ever done that. They were just genius. It sounds easy music untill you try to play it.

      I agree, I"m a later in life convert, from the States, and they were never played much on the radio here other than "Matchstick Men." I honestly discovered them through UA-cam. This tune is balls out Chuck Berry meets The Zombies with a Quo twist, probably one of the best rock 'n' roll numbers of the 1970s, to be frank (when I was wee lad). Also made me dig deeper into their catalog. What a great group!

    ALAN CHARLES LANCASTER otherwise known as NUFF, has passed away in Sydney, his home for 45 years.
    The founding member and the backbone of STATUS QUO had been suffering from Multiple Sclerosis for many years.
    Alan battled on bravely, performing at QUO's Reunion gigs in 2013 and 2014.
    Even though he had MS, Alan's performance and his vocals were the strongest of the three.
    My favourite member of QUO is Alan Lancaster.
    I had the pleasure of having a beer and a smoke with Alan at a Sydney pub gig, in Five Dock, when he had The Lancaster Bombers and The Lancaster/Brewster Bands in the late 80's.
    We had a longer chat at The Lewisham Hotel as well.
    These were dirty, grungy hotels, though this didn't phase the great man of the people.
    Alan was the most beautifil man, very humble, down to earth and a great guy to talk with and have a laugh.
    Vale Alan ( Nuff ) Lancaster
    RIP mate, you were one of the greatest Rockers of all time.

    This song really made me sit up and take notice. Loved them prior also. This vid is great also. Francis wandering around, blaring out one of the most recognisable few chords to ever start a song, Rick casually walking across the stage, slinging his guitar on, Alan in a kind of Zen state and John just giving it the Charlie Watts expression. They encapsulate cool

    I first heard this when it was released. I was 10 years old and it's every bit as great as it was when I first heard it. Seeing Quo live in the 90s was astounding, because I'd never heard a hard rock band play as tight as they did.
    Not a single musical molecule escaped from their watertight performance, and hearing Down Down live was just magnificent.

    When I was a kid the Quo were the business. Me and my friends all loved them, bought their records and wore the denim. It's simple, direct music that gets your toe tapping and headbanging. The tide turned when they started doing the Prince's Trust concerts and Dads started liking them. It was over by Live Aid.

    Written by Francis Rossi and Bob Young and produced by Status Quo, "Down Down" was Status Quo's only number one single on the UK Singles Chart. Released on 29th November 1974 on the Vertigo label. "Down Down" was inspired by T. Rex's debut single "Debora". John Peel was known for playing "Down Down" as part of his eclectic DJ sets. In July 2012, Status Quo reworked the lyrics to create a three-minute promotional song for the Australian supermarket chain Coles. The chorus chants, "down down, prices are down". And that's why we shop at Woolworth's.
