Status Quo - Caroline - Download ,Donington Park 14-6 2014

[@AkitaSunrise]

Greatest rhythm guitar player in the world. The fusion of the two telecasters is such a perfect sound. Rossi and Parfittt are so underrated it's criminal.

[@tiki_trash]

Those Telecasters are so modified that they're not Telecasters anymore.

[@mikesmith22050]

@@tiki_trash I'm curious, how are they modified? It's hard to see as they're still single coils.

[@tiki_trash]

@@mikesmith22050 This video gives you a good look at the guitars. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX3MiqV8rtiNi8U&pp=ygUZdGhlIGd1aXRhcnMgb2Ygc3RhdHVzIHF1bw%3D%3D

[@tiki_trash]

@@mikesmith22050 Both guitars had the back part of the bridge/pickup plate cut off and different bridges installed; Parfitt's with a Jr. style wraparound bolted to the body, but the strings still run through the body, Rossi's has a tune-o-matic style bridge and 3 Strat size rail humbucker pickups. Rossi used to have G&L MFD pickups at one time. They're still tele-ish, I guess.

[@tiki_trash]

@@mikesmith22050 Ok, Rossi's is basically a hardtail Strat with Hot Rails and Rick's is still a Tele but with a whacky hillbilly bridge.

Awesome. I left Linkin Park after twenty minutes so that my young kids could witness The Mighty Quo. They still talk about it now. And they feel blessed to have seen Rick Parfitt.

I was at this gig, and was rather mortified to see my mug in the crowd in a few shots. Bought a fall out boy shirt 3 hours before, and it was swiftly ripped apart by the end of this gig. Good times, and very grateful I got to see them in this lineup!

[@Banksy100]

...and pretty much all types of music in general! We're the best...simple as!! Bands/artists, from all over the world, look to the UK (if not base themselves here) because of the international musical (and cultural) reputation of this country. It's just such a massive shame that the uptight, narrow-minded Tory types really don't understand this. They don't see it/understand it/value it! How they can't I'll never know...I really won't. IMO we have THE BEST musical and cultural reputation in the world. Everyone looks to this country, especially in regard of music, but it goes over the Tory's heads. For a group who like to pride themselves on their ability to capitalise on owt they can get their grubby big hands on, they miss this time and time again and have always done! I don't get how they can be so slack, dumb? Yet they continue to pull it off and totally miss out???

Got to watch a Van Halen concert in Long Beach , California from the side when I was US Navy shore patrol and we were there to pick up a drunk sailor, the local police invited us to stay, even the drunk didn’t mind. That was 1978 and I wish it would have been Quo!!

Norwich Theatre (where I saw Deep Purple, and Wishbone Ash), or more likely St Andrews Hall?
