My first live music experience - Grade 12 1978, Festival Hall Brisbane. Cost me $7.80 (mowed a few lawns.) Four rows from the front. We were all chanting " Quo". My mate had his Quo banner upside down and Francis gave him the signal - flip it over. We were all on our chairs singing and dancing. Have been hooked on live music and Quo ever since. Thanks to Frantic Four, thanks for the memories. Rick and Alan, never forgotten.
The nearest thing in a group with a 25% split that you will ever see. 3 different lead vocals, songs written and co-written by 3 of the group (mainly) and all driven along by great shuffle drums
The 'Real' Status Quo will always be best remembered for the solid driving bass of Alan Lancaster. It was great to see the original four back together on the reunion tours of 2013 and 2014. Without Alan (and John) they were never the same.
Alan was THE charismatic rocker figure i liked same as the fabulous Rick. And those two died first. So sad! RIP dear Alan, there was no Quo without you❤
These guys music ruled '70's Australia. Down the dustpipe. Down Down. Roll over Lay down. Rain. Caroline. Wild Side of life. Rockin'' all over the world.
Thank you, thank you, thank you all for acknowledging just how great this Album is and it's STILL as good today as the day it was released. The Standard of playing from ALL five Original Members of Status Quo and let's be honest, the recording and production is perfect.
This was the Quo line up of my youth, head down no nonsense boogie..When all four of them were in the groove it was an unstoppable train, a train driven by the rhythm section...Quo oooooh😁😎
ушла целая эпоха...Мы всегда будем помнить тебя Алан и твое искуство энергии и музыкального вдохновения во вклад супер популярной музыки! без тебя группа просто не может существовать...
ROADHOUSE BLUES UNA GENIALIDAD DE TOQUES DE GUITARRA QUE ME PONE LA PIEL DE GALLINA CUANDO LA ESCUCHO Y NO DIGAMOS EL BAJO Y LA BATERÍA, QUE SON SONIDOS DE JUEGOS MENTALES PARA UN ROCKERO CLÁSICO COMO YO. GRACIAS POR ESA MUSICA.glooriiaa,glooorrriaa.
Great to see them back together..having a ball..sad to think that Parfitt (one of the greatest rythym guitarists of all time ) is now gone..this was the REAL quo..which i have seen about 50 times over the years..great memories
Quo have always been a "pop" band - POPular - that's what it stands for...the difference is that in the 70's - Rock music was the POPular music of the time. Quo have always done "light" music (the awful Joanne for a start) .
Francis definitely didn’t like this reunion you can tell, he just couldn’t bully rick as Rick was a joint frontman. Francis said he was seen as number 1 by the others...but I don’t think so
Good to see the guys enjoy play together once more. Memories which will be shared for eternal time. Their will never ever be a line up like this. Proud to have been able to enjoy your music at its finest.
I was doing lead vocals at 17. I'm now 62. I still sing and know 80% of all the rock and southern rock lyrics. Music and singing has always been a huge part of my life. Awesome to see these guys my age still rocking it
Youngster. I am 76 and still doing weekly gigs, solo these days. Started playing 65 years ago. I had a few beers with Rick Parfitt many years ago - nice fellow. Yesterday I played for the very first time in my life at a gig the Dylan version of "All along the Watchtower'.
Glasgow 76 one of the best concerts I've ever seen and up there with G&R, Deep purple, Rainbow and Zep in 75. Then they turned into a comedy band once Lancaster and Coglan left.
Gonna give Alan and Quo some kudos for this. Blues is what I call knuckle dragging music for knuckle heads like me. Nothing fancy, willing to get down and get dirty. A far cry from electric and the like. I'm not slagging any music, just how it really makes me feel. Blues is all about emotions and feelings. Electric music put together. Not with feeling, like blues, but with craft. The guys did good on this. Nice one guys. Thank you.
Had a chance to go to their gig in Dublin.. Did nt go and still regret it.. Great that they done that tour when Rick was still around... Francis Rossi very talented guitarist very original abs melodic player

Pity that it seemed to escape Francis Rossi’s attention that musically, this is (was - RIP Rick) the best lineup of the band. I know that they made a far better living in latter years, after the departure of Nuff and Spud, with the other guys and that’s fair enough. I suppose they couldn’t keep playing the same hard/heavy boogie blues rock for 50 years. They had to diversify and progress into what became known as “Quo Lite”. But again, this is certainly the best incarnation of the band.
I was the biggest Quo fan of all time, but Quo Lite was a housewife group. Such a shame but hey, Rossi and Parfitt went where the money was I guess. Shame because the music was too diluted for hardcore fans.
@@pauljones9061 Rhino doesn't have a bad voice; he just has a terrible voice _for Quo_ where a cleaner sound is wanted (tho Roadhouse is a bad example). He and Bown actually have good voices for certain specific types of hard rock, like the kinds they play in their own bands.
Rick ,i love you😪FF was the BEST💖THX for Hammersmith 2013 it was a wonder & magic ,both nights✌Shame to split the best Boogie Rockers on earth💖41 year's my Band 💖 Quo was my life 😪 now they have good musican's , really but it's not the same 💖FF💖

Kinda kool. It was like watching four weekend friends getting ready for their appearance at the local park district festival and feeling pretty good about themselves. Diggin' the Quo.
*Grew up on ‘Quo’... & nice to see the boys jamming..! However, I thought, that after all these years, RossI would’ve been a better ‘Lead Guitarist’... than he is, but he never improved..! He’s still just happy to plink away..! Good boogie band..!!! R.I.P. Rick you we’re the best..!* :Peace:🕊❤️😎
Alan's got MS and he's battling really well.Let's praise his efforts in keeping going. Thanks for posting.Saw the band last night in Manchester and the magic is still there.
In my opinion - it was because of the FF reunion that Rick died - it put him back in that "mood" to live the RNR lifestyle - went back to drinking etc - had heart attacks and effectively killed him.
STATUS QUO DON LOS MAS GRANDES DEL ROCK 🎉🎉🎉 FUE UNA VERDADERA LASTIMA NO PODER IR AL CONCIERTO QUE DIERON EN MEXICO EN 2013 SIEMPRE ESTARE ARREPENTIDO POR NO CONOCERLOS EN PERSONA. LARGA VIDA A STATUS QUO COMO LAS GRANDES LEYENDAS QUE SON VIVIRAN POR SIEMPRE.
This is just to Love :-) R.I.P Rick and ofc. Status Quo. First band in my life and you did great. All shows I have seen (8) was perfect and well done. Thanks for all that!
Classic stuff!!! I grew up with this and love it! The band have moved on though and what they're doing now is awesome! Sometimes we can't go back. Just my opinion.
RIP ALAN LANCASTER 🙏 😢
Will be missed but never forgotten.
Thanks for the memories

This is the Quo I fell in love with back in 1973.
Lancaster and Coghlan should never have left . All 4 are so right together. Magic!!
The nearest thing in a group with a 25% split that you will ever see. 3 different lead vocals, songs written and co-written by 3 of the group (mainly) and all driven along by great shuffle drums
Saw them in Cardiff in 1972 … halcyon days
How wonderful is this..
The 4 and onlys
Love the quo version of this song Rick and Alan's memory lives on while there is you tube.
The 'Real' Status Quo will always be best remembered for the solid driving bass of Alan Lancaster. It was great to see the original four back together on the reunion tours of 2013 and 2014. Without Alan (and John) they were never the same.
Couldn't of put it better myself no disrespect to the new members but the original Quo were something else
These days its just Rossi and his cover band .....
Das ist einfach unsere Zeit danke ❤🎉
I was on stage with these guys at Reading festival in 73 , i was working on the backline , what a buzz 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Proper Status Quo. Saw them in 1972.
These 4 guys were the first live band i ever saw back in 1972/3 - The Hello Tour. I still remember it so well now - Thank you Status Quo
Alan was THE charismatic rocker figure i liked same as the fabulous Rick. And those two died first. So sad! RIP dear Alan, there was no Quo without you❤
These guys music ruled '70's Australia.
Down the dustpipe.
Down Down.
Roll over Lay down.
Rain.
Caroline.
Wild Side of life.
Rockin'' all over the world.
The drummer and the bass is what makes this band superb
I agree thee drummer and bass is 100 % very very good
I gotta admit that Rick Parfitt plays one hell of a guitar🔥❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you all for acknowledging just how great this Album is and it's STILL as good today as the day it was released. The Standard of playing from ALL five Original Members of Status Quo and let's be honest, the recording and production is perfect.
Status Quo , retour aux années musicales 70 ' et 80 ' ... Que du bonheur ! Une époque épique , dans le domaine artistique !!
Exzellent.So great.Status Quo is the best Band of the World.I,ve always been a fan of this
Ditto I have seen them so many times and I never get disappointed
The ONE and Only STATUS QUO !
This was the Quo line up of my youth, head down no nonsense boogie..When all four of them were in the groove it was an unstoppable train, a train driven by the rhythm section...Quo oooooh😁😎
ушла целая эпоха...Мы всегда будем помнить тебя Алан и твое искуство энергии и музыкального вдохновения во вклад супер популярной музыки! без тебя группа просто не может существовать...
Je me rends compte que les morceaux les plus rock sont chantés par Alan! Toujours! J’adore.
RIP lovely Alan! The voice at 2:42 gives me goosebumps, the sound made by these four sounded incredible. No one can reproduce this magic again.

Seen them 4 times . A great rock band. Sad to see 2 of them gone.
Best Quo line up. Feeling, passion, soul.
Love these guys since I first heard them in the mid 70’s
02:19 Priceless (R.I.P. Alan) 🤍
What a song,,,Alan loved having fun live,,,amazing how he held that high note,,,I thought where did they get this guy,,
Great sound, bring me back to my childhood
It's all coming back to me said Alan at the end, bless him. The real quo.💚💚💚💚. Bless you Rick.
Blues-Rock in höchster Form❤
Status Quo, A piece of history that I missed, but finding about now
Very sad that Alan was ousted and unpaid............God Bless him. Hope he’s coping ok and I’d just like to say Thank you for the memories.
Rest in Rock, Alan and Rick
The best Status Quo formation ever!
Great to see them back together..having a ball..sad to think that Parfitt (one of the greatest rythym guitarists of all time ) is now gone..this was the REAL quo..which i have seen about 50 times over the years..great memories
Was great that they did this Tour and the fans got a chance to see this lineup again. Awesome stuff 👏👏👏
The frantic four are untouchable, Quo lite are a pop band, this is the real deal, Love it!
Well said mate
1977 - Sheffield City Hall - when they were still a rock band and WAY before the descent into cabaret. The balconies were bouncing!!
Quo have always been a "pop" band - POPular - that's what it stands for...the difference is that in the 70's - Rock music was the POPular music of the time. Quo have always done "light" music (the awful Joanne for a start) .
@@petemanning4672 yes I get your point ,but their 70 s pomp they rocked harder
Love the way Rick keeps looking at Alan ...great stuff !!!!!
+Kelvin Marshall I think Rick & Alan were always closer, plus It looks like Frame is trying to "herd" Alan. Kind of bully him. Dunno.
Could be right ..don't think Fran was to keen on the reunion , when you hear him chatting ...
Francis definitely didn’t like this reunion you can tell, he just couldn’t bully rick as Rick was a joint frontman. Francis said he was seen as number 1 by the others...but I don’t think so
Rossi always thought he was the main 1 in quo, which he wasn't. It was Alan and Rick who made quo.
@@kevzee Rossi was 25% no more, no less.
The only genuine Quo ! The real vibe and passion ! RIP Rick !
Good to see the guys enjoy play together once more. Memories which will be shared for eternal time. Their will never ever be a line up like this. Proud to have been able to enjoy your music at its finest.
Wow where did these old men get their amazingly reliced Telecasters? They look like they have been played for some 50 years.
This was epic. So happy I saw them in Germany in 2013. Last time ever.
With Rick Parfitt🖤
I was doing lead vocals at 17. I'm now 62. I still sing and know 80% of all the rock and southern rock lyrics. Music and singing has always been a huge part of my life. Awesome to see these guys my age still rocking it
@cutter same age as you m8 seen em three times...
But sorry m8 they're old and embarrassing now...soz
Youngster. I am 76 and still doing weekly gigs, solo these days. Started playing 65 years ago. I had a few beers with Rick Parfitt many years ago - nice fellow. Yesterday I played for the very first time in my life at a gig the Dylan version of "All along the Watchtower'.
The QUO I grew with, brilliant. Glasgow Appollo '76.
Love the Live album or were you actually there? If so, lucky sod, it one of the top 5 gigs I would have loved to have attended.
Stephen Brown it was recorded over three consecutive sold out nights at the Apollo! Some of us were there all three nights. Just sayin.
Glasgow 76 one of the best concerts I've ever seen and up there with G&R, Deep purple, Rainbow and Zep in 75. Then they turned into a comedy band once Lancaster and Coglan left.

This is why Ma kellys/and Dog of 2 head are awesome albums, rock/blues .
No puedo contenerme. Fantástica interpretación de Alan. No hay palabras.
Great to see Alan Lancaster and John Coghlan in the band, never better !!
Had a chance to go to their gig in Dublin.. Did nt go and still regret it.. Great that they done that tour when Rick was still around... Francis Rossi very talented guitarist very original abs melodic player
And not abs!!

Saw this line up 5 times in the 70s, the greatest live group, in my view
The best line up by far,
The only Quo line up....
Wrong. It is the only Quo line up...
It doesn't get better than this the original and best four combo.
Roger Morgan k0
Nostalgically speaking, correct - musicianship not really...
At the end "it's coming back to me.." lmao, that was brilliant!!
I totally agree, he sounds awesome in this video.
Didn't you mean to type "awful". That's pretty shit singing.

Alan a great singer and bass player to boot .
Parfitt, Rossi, Coughlan, Lancaster, That was Quo. And Piledriver, Quo, dog with 2 heads, classic albums.
thats , dog of two head mate
Una banda mítica que marcó una época en la música internacional y en el rock. Grandes, muy grandes.
This brings me back to my youth in the 70s, best lineup, best songs.
Wow!!!!Alan Lancaster, and is that John Coglhlan on drums ...fantastic original members playing together!!!
Yes, it's the original four members playing together here.
RIP Alan sound of my youth OLHS 1980
Ahhh just for a while we had the magic back, the old sound and magic it was too.
magnifique ! de la vraie musique ! merci
они настоящие . моего возраста .. жизнь поменялась .они как в молодости .. БРАВО ВАМ МУЖИКИ ..
Это Status Quo!👍 Жаль нет уже Рика.

Whitin their greatness this is a beauty ..
Alan was the soul of Quo! It's amazing that the Frantic Four reunited, albeit for a brief time.
You are so right!
God bless this legendary UK band!
J'AI CONNU CE GROUPE DANS LES ANNEES 80......LE TEMPS A PASSé MAIS JE LES AIME TOUJOURS AUTANT
The original line up are always best!! Saw them at Hammersmith a few years ago! Best gig ever!!
Had this on 8 track back in the 70s. Good to see they still got it.
Saw them at the roundhouse back in the seventies some gigs stay in your memory for ever this one did .
1970-1976 the best quo years for me. Ma Kelly to Blue for you.
Alan's got MS and he's battling really well.Let's praise his efforts in keeping going. Thanks for posting.Saw the band last night in Manchester and the magic is still there.
Alan Does dispute this, he says he had an allergic reaction to hair dye and also something to do with tensing up.
i thought he had a drink or two.
@@gazmufc09 In interviews I've watched, Alan claims that his illness is stress related. Stress about what, I don't know.
Peter Coles I have also seen this in interviews apparently when he gets stressed his muscles all tense up and lead him to look really poorly.
@@FrozenHero2010 About a asshole named Francis Rossi.
Look at Rick here, really loving it! I'm glad that the reunion happened, especially now dear Rick has gone.
In my opinion - it was because of the FF reunion that Rick died - it put him back in that "mood" to live the RNR lifestyle - went back to drinking etc - had heart attacks and effectively killed him.

Que maravilla de madstros los escucho desde que era un chaval♥️♥️♥️♥️💜
Even this studio session has the sense of a stage romp.
Quo Live,
One of best live recorded concerts.
КЛАССИКА!!! Я ПРОСТО БЕЗ УМА! МОЯ ЮНОСТЬ. И СОСТАВ ОРИГИНАЛЬНЫЙ!!!! БРАВО!!!!!!!!!!
I grew up listening to the original line up, and here they are. For me the quo of the past twenty years has not been for me.
Same here.
1976 Cardiff Castle with this line up and a couple of school friends, they played out of their skins and an incredible memory to have.
What an atmosphere that was
I was there...a great day indeed.
I was on holiday in Cornwall at the time and remember thinking I wish I was there.
I was there with some friends aged 17. What a fantastic day that was, Hawkwind, Curved Air and others all topped out by the Quo!!!
The true Quo line up... awesome 😊
RIP Alan you were the Quo, your voice will always be there xxx💔
This is just to Love :-)
R.I.P Rick and ofc. Status Quo.
First band in my life and you did great.
All shows I have seen (8) was perfect and well done.
Thanks for all that!
Настоящее рокеры играют до последнего вздоха Классно
Great version of Roadhouse by the Quo.... “that’s where the people... like to go down slow....”
Classic stuff!!! I grew up with this and love it! The band have moved on though and what they're doing now is awesome! Sometimes we can't go back. Just my opinion.
How f**king awesome was this, love the Frantic Four line-up. So glad they did the re-union. Great band.
