'Pure rock and roll' with a full orchestra backing them up. Don't get me wrong, the music is all fine, but a FULL orchestral backup being 'pure' rock and roll? Hmmmm....
The orchestra are trying not to jump out of their seats. I had the privilege of seeing Status Quo live five times from 1976 to 2000. All their shows were magnificent! On one occasion they even upstaged Deep Purple, on the same night. I kid you not!
25 years ago and I,ve just watched this glorious bands last live tune. Tears...? U betcha. This great band has been a constant in my life for 50 + years... I still have their music recorded forever, digitally, on vinyl, cd, cassette and all the rest. But best of all... In my memories.. Unbeatable.....
If you watch the orchestra it is quite evident how much they are genuinely enjoying playing this track. The Quo weren't especially sophisticated with their music but my word could they make a venue rock!😊.
Just love rewatching this. The contrast of all those classically trained musicians and then two blokes with simple chords and a lot of volume. Epic performance
Highly trained classical musicians letting their hair down and getting on it with the Quo ! Who wouldn't ? ? ( @4-46 shivers down the spine moment ) It's music - no matter what type , it gets you deep ( er and ) down 😉 EDIT : ok , I could be wrong , but I have a sneaky feeling the Conductor was too scared to look over his shoulder ! 😲
Anyone who has never seen Status Quo live will never be able to imagine what happens in concert. It's like good food. You can watch the preparation on youtube and imagine what it might taste like. But if you can never savour it, it's only ever a faint image of the real experience.
Absolutely Incredible !!!!! You will never ever replicate the sheer joy that everyone got from this !!!!! The world would be so much a better place if we all joined together in this type of event !!!
Cheer you up ? ? I was flatlining , pouring with rain outside - by the end of this I had tears of joy streaming down my face and the sun was breaking through ( Rick watching )
c'est la folie musicale qui s'échappe pour se répandre parmi les gens trop sérieux , et leur inculquer l'étrangeté et la rareté de vivre et de s'exprimer , sans compromis , ni complaisance , sans mensonge , ni faux semblants .........
Well this is something I’ve not seen before, bloody brilliant. Saw them in concert, it was mental. G/F knew them so went backstage. Even more mental, magic memories.
I love the way the usually quiet and restrained members of the orchestra are smiling, playing with gusto and even antics, totally responding to the joy and verve produced by these wizened old rockers.Pure delight. What a wonderful collaboration between different musical avenues.
and , I could be wrong , but I get the distinct impression that the Conductor is just too damn scared to look over his shoulder and see what's going on behind him ... ! 🙄
OMG!!!! My goosebumps have goosebumps. This is just amazing. What a feeling it must be to be backed by an orchestra like this and to play to such an audience. I saw Quo in the national stadium in Dublin back in the 70s and have loved them ever since.
it is the musical madness which escapes to spread among people who are too serious, and instill in them the strangeness and the rarity of living and expressing oneself, without compromise, nor complacency, without lies, nor false pretenses..
The one band I took my kids to see live in Manchester in the nineties. Just pure, unadulterated rock. Just brilliant! I challenge anyone not move when they hear Quo in full stream.
if you weren't actually there, the real "money shot" is when the lights zoom over the audience .... that moment alone merges sight & sound into pure emotion - gives you a hint , just a hint mind , of the reality 🙂
Still find after all these years as soon as the initial intro is done, i still start to head bang to the rhythm, sure at 57 years of age, not as hard as I used to but still can not stop wanting rock out to this great song, after almost 50 years from first release
RIP Rick Parfitt * 12. Oktober 1948; † 24. Dezember 2016. I will never forget the gig in London with you and Status Quo. Was one of my best nights ever if not the best. Sadly your day of death will come soon again. I miss you every year.
Great to find this video, what a fabulous performance, but then they all were. Thanks for this Folks and RIP Rick, still enjoying the sounds you gave us.
Dit moet worden door geven aan de jeugd van tegenwoordig. Klassiek ontmoet pop. Net als melk uit een koe komt niet de supermarkt. Volgens mij is Night of the proms. Basis kennis!
What's this Dad? That son, is pure joy. Just some lads having the craic.
Best comment I've ever read
😮😮
Classical Rock n feckin Roll.!
@@whosafeard8131😅ki no último ĺembranca no MP no. M no. M mk
Brilliant comment and not a mobile phone in sight..Happier times..❤❤
At one gig, the MC introduced the Quo as 'the greatest rock and roll band in the world'. He was right. God Bless Rick. ❤
Sem dúvidas.
Glasgow Apollo ..... 1976 ?
Not even in the top 20! cheers
he was right!!!
mmmm there are a lot of bands that fit that bill
You could see the highly trained classical musicians loving it 😀
almost more entertaining watching the orchestra than the Quo!!
@@chrisg1234fly Well, there's more of them.
So did I love it, totally exceptional musicians and singers
If the girls on Violin rock out you know its the dogs doo dahs of music
The cello man playing guitar is THE best thing ever haha
The smile on the face of the violinist at about 4.20 says it all.
If you weren't blessed enough to be
there at least we have this recording.
Yeah... that's Andy Bown, he was with the band as long as they excist. ❤🎉😮
try 04:10
Quo at the Proms.
Seen it all now.
Amazing.
One of the most underrated rock bands in the world. Thanks thanks thanks for remember them. RIP Rick.
Still get chills when Rick starts playing at the beginning after the intro. R.I. P. Rick your a big miss..taken too soon :(
When you watch this it reminds you that Status Quo are the best rock group on the planet. Miss Rick so much the heart of the group.......
Not really.
II agree
This is pure rock and roll performed by one of the best rock bands there has ever been

@@normanacree1635 Oh come on. Grow up
I,ll second that !❤
kinda love that its so cool so happy so bouncy = its a song about a coke dealer ! amazing
@@normanacree1635 knobhead
That day Francis and Rick were 2 feet away from me, just before they came on stage...they gave me a thumbs up.....Still goosebumps!!
😢 Questa è musica x le mie orecchie, e dal vivo.... TANTA roba
two blokes two telecasters and the result is pure magic
I like the Cello plater using his Cello like a guitar, Brilliant.
that guy will go down in internet history .. what a gig !

AGREE 💯 with You
Amazing, not only did the audience appreciate the music but the orchestra looked to be having the time of their lives.
The meeting of two worlds - and what a fantastic collaboration. I can't watch this video often enough. One of the best music videos on here !
What can you say?
That was just epic from band and orchestra.
Loved the orchestra’s reaction.
I AGREE 💯!!!
same 💯💯💯💯
Wow! The whole orchestra headbanging! Awesome!
R.I.P. Rick, we miss you. Thanks for the memories!
@@GH-cz4zr Rossi is still alive and well.
@@GH-cz4zr No problem.
@@jxxnrxxi2160 Although not at this gig, Alan passed away a few years ago too.

High school in the 70s, the girls loved the Disco, the boys loved the QUO!!! Thanks boys, best era of my life, best music to compliment it. RIP Rick

Who wouldn't ? ? ( @4-46 shivers down the spine moment )
It's music - no matter what type , it gets you deep ( er and ) down 😉

For an orchestra that is used to a more formal programme of music this must be a breath of fresh to show their musical prowess.
*Rest In Peace Old Guv'nor :( We will miss you, and your Telecaster :(*
Listening in 2024, absolutely awesome
I grew up listening to Status Quo….one regret I never saw them live while Rick was alive……fabulous music will be with us forever. 🎶🎶🎶❤️
I did, even going the night after my wedding. 20th December 1992 to see them with my late brother. They were just brilliant.
Go see the current line up. They're pretty solid and honestly, better than the last few times I saw them with Rick.
Absolutely Incredible !!!!! You will never ever replicate the sheer joy that everyone got from this !!!!! The world would be so much a better place if we all joined together in this type of event !!!
Just how can listening to this not cheer you up ! Pure joy.
Cheer you up ? ?
I was flatlining , pouring with rain outside - by the end of this I had tears of joy streaming down my face and the sun was breaking through ( Rick watching )
wow!
That performance perfectly sums up pure nostalgia at its very best. Just brilliant !

Sounds so good like a true Christmas gift, have fun & rooooock in 2025, Happy New Year.. whatever you want
The Quo always deliver. Brilliant - you only have to see the reaction of the audience and the orchestra to know what the opinion to this was.
I rember seeing them Live.
Maybe the best concert I ever saw.
Love the fact the orchestra are REALLY going for it. Quo were F@@@@@@ AWESOME!!!!
IF WATCHING AND LISTENING TO THESE GUY'S DOESN'T GET YOU GOING, YOU ARE A VERY SAD PERSON WHO NEEDS TO GET A LIFE. ROCK ON QUO.❤❤❤❤
The orchestra's members are amazing 😍🤩🤪 Epic version, a masterpiece 😍😍
Bach & Mozart ( if still alive ) would be air-guitaring to this - they know a tune or two ! 😉
Especially that double bass player at 3:04
first time I've seen this particular version. What a blast! Always loved rockers with an orchestra and they were all having so much fun
OMG!!!! My goosebumps have goosebumps. This is just amazing. What a feeling it must be to be backed by an orchestra like this and to play to such an audience. I saw Quo in the national stadium in Dublin back in the 70s and have loved them ever since.
Great orchestral enhancement of Quo classics!

Beautiful
That is such a good statement
The one band I took my kids to see live in Manchester in the nineties. Just pure, unadulterated rock. Just brilliant! I challenge anyone not move when they hear Quo in full stream.
Never mind the crowd, the orchestra went wild! Utterly fantastic stuff. I really miss Quo.
One of the best collaborations ever....pure rock and the orchestra...and they all had so much fun !!!
Love you Quo !! ❤❤❤❤
Rock music is so powerful, sometimes mixed with orchestral, it, s off the scale. How friggin good is this?
Great to see the violin girls rocking out.
I love this band since 1970 am still around and enjoy listening to their music.
Love from the Island of Bougainville.
Just pure bliss .....for real ...woaaaah 😊
I grow up listening to bands like this when the family got together good memories
Absolute unfettered joy!
Thank you guys for all the years of great music
I'VE NEVER SEEN A CELLO PLAYED LIKE THIS B4, AND A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL. GREAT QUO.
One of the best Quo Videos
Brilliant, the guy playing the double bass sideways and the girls rocking with the violins get on it
The best proms I've visited. What a party.
The orchestra and the audience loved it. So did I.
if you weren't actually there, the real "money shot" is when the lights zoom over the audience ....
that moment alone merges sight & sound into pure emotion - gives you a hint , just a hint mind , of the reality 🙂
I was in the audience, what a night.
Where was this recorded?
@@sidscrote7570Antwerp, Belgium 🇧🇪
each and all a class act component, the mighty quo, with trusted skilled input:
and the orchestra is having a blast just giving it all it got..
Still find after all these years as soon as the initial intro is done, i still start to head bang to the rhythm, sure at 57 years of age, not as hard as I used to but still can not stop wanting rock out to this great song, after almost 50 years from first release
My head is banging - and I 'm good 65 😂😂😂😂😂
Saw them in the late 70s, hair was down to my shoulders then.
Still banging today, 65 in ten days.
I'm 70, still loving Quo and not going to stop till I drop 😄
@@rjsegedin7116 yep , we owe it to Mr Parfitt - least we can do
Das ist absolute Weltklasse.Spiele im Bad vor dem Spiegel immer mit meiner Luftgitarre mit da geht's ab bis die Bude brennt.Danke Satus Quo ❤😂❤😂

Wow! STATUS QUO FOREVER...R.I.P. Rick Parfitt :/ 🎸

Ein genialer Klassiker noch mal aufgepeppt , sehr sehr geil
Foe me the quo will never be the same without Rick Pafit God Bless Him.
Memories of very happy days
OMG 😲, what it must have felt like for the band and orchestra to be playing together ❤️. What a sound 👌 😍
Saw them live in Switzerland. Awesome. Great Experience then and now.
Legendary guitar riffs, Status Quo delivers kick ass rock classics! 👏👏👏👏
A once in a lifetime, so enjoy it!!!
One word: FABILOUS!!!!!
