    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.

    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

    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.

Man, my Marshall Amps were loud and so where thems.....Best Rock Band ever to me. I still play many of their songs with my Band and everyone joins. Playing Caroline is a guaranty of having a chat with a lovely lady back Stage. 'Down down' means party..Frantic Four....as I listen to this five times in a row, and will continue haha
