Yo, big guy quo bro...another reaction so quickly?? I'm still playing your slow train reaction every day and now you give us this as well?? 😉😉😜😜🙏❤️ Don't. Ever. Stop. Reacting to the status of the Quo. Please. Awesome as usual 👏👏👏👁️💥

[@treebeard4873]

I can't help but ask for a reaction to gotta go home live 1970...no doubt already been requested...amazing early example of their evolution 😊❤ kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqGyp2acm5drgpIsi=IJCG8iJrAdD39as5

[@MrRockNRollLive]

@@treebeard4873 it’s a Rock N Roll Train that won’t ever stop. THE QUOOOOOO!!!!

[@PaulWilliams-xz3mz]

Great reaction as usual, you should try Status Quo *April spring summer and Wednesday's* from the best club show 1970 👍and hello from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍😄

[@murdochharris2027]

Once again another brilliant clip from you on quo, brilliant once again mate

[@gedtell340]

Mystery song released 1976, Whole lot of Rosie 1977, Quo massively underestimated for being the original and best 70s boogie band... accept no immitations! 😂😂

[@RogerRae-p6w]

Was just going to say that Quo out do AC DC, I've seen both inc frantic four

[@gordyhydro5774]

ACDC had no light and shade. A year, unspoken words, lonely man. Quo were more than 3 chords.

[@markwalker2627]

​@@gordyhydro5774it was 33 Rossi cant count😂

[@Andy-hb8kl]

Quo had so much more variety. I love AC DC, but Quo just did a lot more different stuff. AC/DC in my top 5, but Quo are tops.

[@petej3800]

Need some help, i am sure they did a slow song, cannot remember the title but words in it are, " there`s a man sitting in an empty room, his face full of emptiness and gloom," is all i can give you, any help would be greatly appreciated, stay safe.

[@Taximan2002]

Go listen to the album version, the start and finish may surprise you, it adds so much to the song

[@elimhousesteve]

You really need to hear the full studio album version

[@paulschiavo5339]

Such a welcome reaction to a fabulous song and a magnificent band. Many of us down the years have copped a ton of rubbish for loving the Quo. Thanks for your support. 🤘

[@andyellis1128]

QUO recorded this in 1976. ACDC is a great band, but Quo is The boogie rock band of All Time. Ps, you need to listen to the Blue For You Album of Quo. That is the best and only version to listen to.

[@hughwilson8251]

The album version is out of this world, from the album Blue For You

[@raytalbot5890]

The original line up from back in the day 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@gimpy2206]

Cannot wait for this. Imagine having a riff. Drinking speed laced tea, then still playing the riff 12 hours later.... you are welcome

[@banditrider613]

Although tjr line up now only has Rossi from the original line up, I saw them play again in Livepool 24 and had brilliant fun . They know what to do, and they know what the fans want. Hope its not the last time touring but if it is well wjat a night that was .

[@circulation69]

Alan Lancaster, what a fucking bass player. Just awesome! RIP

[@ineedoff1]

Album version sir. Another level of genius 👏

[@tediousmaximus1067]

There is a longer version of Mystery Song on the "Blue for You" album with an interesting intro and outro that you should also check out. But the next song you should do from Quo is the song "Rain". You will go ape shit when you hear that one.

[@FreddyS808]

totally agree with you on this one! 👍👍👍

[@davidkettell5726]

Rock and roll royalty. This is how it should be done.

[@alanstrom2221]

There are many aspects about Status Quo that make it such a huge pleasure to know them and love them. When I was 7 yrs old in 1968 I just heard a great song "Pictures of Matchstickmen" though didn't know anything about the Band. In 1970 my whole world changed when I heard "Down the Dustpipe" I thought OMG what is this?? It made the Australian music Chart and appeared on 20 RED HOT HITS 1970. Then there was 'radio' silence until PILEDRIVER in Dec. 1972, then all the huge albums that followed. One of the best aspects about being a QUO fan was discovering the albums and songs that came prior to 1972. "Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon" 1970, "Dog of Two Head" 1971 are two of my fave albums by anyone. Non album Singles "In My Chair" and "Tune to the Music" are mind blowing masterpieces. Rossi's vocal on "Tune to the Music" is one of the best of all time. Then my brain exploded even further when I discovered that QUO had recorded 2 albums and multiple singles of Psychedelic Pop/Rock in the mid-late 60's. It was then that I realised that it was the same Band and the pieces fell into place. A short history of the Best and Greatest Rock Band in history.

[@max_64746]

Sir may you please clarify?

[@petej3800]

Roadhouse Medley, you will love it, live and just brilliant.

[@JimS-j88]

How rock n roll was always meant to sound. Quo - simply the best. Listen to Rain from the same album - another monster from the Quo!

[@banditrider613]

Written by Rick when bombed out of his head on speed over a night. Amazing ...

[@robertjackson8199]

1976 Quo the original rock boogie band.How good were they back then,amazing live.So underated i it is criminal.

[@bravestarr2001]

Finally, dude! This and Big Fat Mamma are big favourites. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@1979kg]

It’s a mystery how Quo weren’t huge in the states!

[@j0hnf_uk]

Time, money and a fair amount of good luck being lacking. Unfortunately, the money side wasn't considered viable enough to continue, especially since their music was never given the air-time it deserved. Weirdly enough, when they toured, they got an overwhelmingly positive response from crowds, but for some reason, radio stations and the media in general didn't seem to want to know. Their last ditch attempt was the radio-friendly, 'Rockin' All Over The World', album, but once that didn't seem to attract attention, they cut their losses and concentrated on the UK, Europe and Australia.

[@Ev3ntHorizon]

Your reactions to the Quo are just gold!

[@petermartin1967]

Thank you for playing the Mighty Quo again mate 👍🏻👍🏻🍻🍻🍻

[@darylredmond9312]

I first saw Quo in Australia in 1973 when I was 13 years old, & I have been to every tour to Australia since then, to say I love their music is a massive understatement, we lost Rick Parfitt a couple of years ago & he is greatly missed. Keep playing them champion 👍👍

[@WAYNECBRRRSPOHYEHH]

I did say it was awesome, brilliant boogie woogie tune,glad you liked it,the quo train boogies on. Also search for roadhouse blues live from knebworth park in the 1990s,ohhh it's boogie woogie fun time party tune you'll love it,great review as allways. Long live the mighty quo ❤😊

[@JimS-u4s]

The Quo -how rock n roll was always meant to sound.

[@leiper72]

They Rock'n'Roll as if they invented it..! 😄 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGquZ6Ocn518p9E

[@Eriiicksonn]

A song from the same album, Mad About the Boy, is really good

[@geertdelange4785]

Gold!!! Mr. Rock and Roll and Status Quo. Love it! Backwater/Just take me, two songs belong together, also a long one together, from the album Quo, maybe the next one? Mystery song, the studio version is also a looong version, you will like much more.😊 A third suggestion : From the earlier albums, Railroad live at the BBC, from the album Dogs of two heads, it is the last song on the studio album. Blues, Boogie Hardrock. You will be surprised!

[@hayzeebloke]

That was gonna be my suggestion, those two tracks will blow his mind. They did mine. Let's Rock!

[@Andy-hb8kl]

Blue Eyed Lady from same album as 4500 times will get you going!!

[@chrismcdonagh688]

Quo are one of the greatest live rock & roll bands of all time, must have seen them 20 times.

[@williambaxter4628]

Lucky you Chris!

[@russellmarriott9396]

For me Mystery Song is the ultimate Quo song.

[@spotsterjon74cu]

The first Quo album i brought, I snook off down town on my lunch break at school in 1976 to get it!

[@alanhall5648]

Finally you listen 🤣 now try Rain from the same album and Quo did it first AC/DC second by a year 🙂

[@Eriiicksonn]

Or you could also listen to the Mystery Medley from the concert in Milton Keynes 1984

[@Quolion668]

You must hear the full album version (it’s 2 minutes longer)

[@fishingforbricks]

Knew you would like it big fella. This is my no1 quo song and you get that joy every time you hear it. And I got the albumback in the 70s. Respect and much love from Scotland brother 👍💪🙏😎

[@ukmetalman]

Heath my fave quo song of all time. I was lucky to see them numerous times over here in the uk the live shows were incredible. Was a fan since i was 11 when the piledriver album came out. Uk legends in every sense of the word🤘🤘

[@dethmerwillems5439]

Great review Mr Rock n Roll!

[@Andy-hb8kl]

Thanks for doing this, but you must do the FULL LENGTH ALBUM VERSION!!!

[@ineedoff1]

You are right with the 10 score👍

[@JoCo1967]

The list is endless from The Quo you should try some of there heavier stuff like Backwater, Rain or more boogie with Hold You Back 🎸🥁🎹🎶

[@charliepreston1]

My no 1 Quo song of all time ❤ A song about a prosistute, which came before Whole lot of Rosie as others have mentioned.

[@stickylabels]

Acdc sound like quo .....not the other way round..

[@Andy-hb8kl]

Whole lotta Rosie 1977, this was 1976!

[@nick_jh61]

Quo have been my favourite band since I first heard the piledriver album in 72 and its great to see your reactions. Just to say Quo wrote this in 76 a year before Whole lotta Rosie. They were the original boogie rock band. Francis Rossi is such an under rated guitarist. His solos are just brilliant. ‘I saw the light’ off ‘On the level’ is worth a listen. 😎😊

[@colosaal]

Quo's Double Live Vinyl, one of the best live recordings ever, my opinion, followed by ACDC'S if you want Blood and Blackfoot live in London 1982 👍💪

[@martinjay3570]

Love your enthusiasm for the Quo.

[@Andy-hb8kl]

Try Little Lady and the seque into Most of The Time!!!!

[@Andy-hb8kl]

They two songs are always played together!

[@magnusjohanson4466]

The same with Backwater/ Just take me

[@leiper72]

I like this version from 1991.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/enzGo4uHiKt5sM0si=CZUAUojzZnjjEXll

[@bryemycaz]

@@magnusjohanson4466 Though in 1982 Live Backwater ran into Little Lady.

[@magnusjohanson4466]

On the "Quo" album from1974, the live album from The Apollo from 1976 and " Frantic four final fling tour" it is Backwater/Just take me. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4KlmKeQq5ilotEsi=rb7sME7QZGZoTk-Y

[@melton6967]

Best single from best album by far

[@nino910]

Francis (the lead guitarist) put speed in Ricky's (rhythm guitarist & singer in this one) cup of tea and slightly overdosed. Rick was sitting on a stool in the studio messing around with the opening riff one evening, the others we're heading home. Next morning they came back and think "oh Rick's up early", as he is sitting on a stool messing around with the opening riff. Rick goes: Haven't been home yet :D So he just sat there for 14 hours or so straight playing the opening riff :D Francis tells this story often when the play it live (or at least as the beginning of the Mystery Medley)

[@hayzeebloke]

Off to see the Quo tonight in Margate. So looking forward to seeing them again for god knows how many times. Probably final tour, so gonna be special. Keep on rocking Mr R&R.

[@kevincrouch6121]

Love your reactions to the greatest band In the world....the QUO.!!

[@goranquo4573]

Quo thermonuclear boogie rock. Unbeatable!

[@michaelford5269]

Big man great reaction

[@Silber7]

Rick Parfitt's songs are most of the real rocking gems of their cataloge. Do you already know "Rain"? Legends have it the band was into consuming unhealthy amounts of uppers around that time - explains the fast and driving songs... They tell the story that the riff to this song was the last thing Rick wrote in one session, and when the band came back the next day, he was still sitting there playing it :D

[@iangillon6981]

Fantastic Stuff!! But please listen to the Album Version. Its way better than the Radio Edit. And shows a different side, too there musicianship. Big Up SIR!! :)

[@geertdelange4785]

Their entire legacy is extremely long! 😁

[@jimharris367]

Awesome, you really should listen to everything from the Piledriver album, the Hello album, Quo, On the Level and Blue for you - these albums are Quo at their absolute peak, simply untouchable. After that the studio albums became more patchy, but Rockin all over the world (the album) Whatever you want, Just Supposin and Never Too Late are all worth checking out. Oh, and you really should check out the Quo Live album from 1976, recorded at the Glasgow Apollo, the same venue where AC/DC recorded If you Want Blood 🤘

[@magnusjohanson4466]

This is the short version, the long version from the album is even better.

[@leo1314ok]

After Ma Kelly's, this is from my favourite album, Blue For You. So well produced and shows Quo at their best. This is the single version but still simply awesome, not a bad track on the album. This is how rock music is meant to be!

[@alanstrom2221]

[@billmorris8358]

And the beauty of this video is you see the greatest, tightest original line up of Frame, Francis Rossi, Nuff, Rick Parfitt, Spud, John Coghlan (drummer) and Reg, Alan Lancaster. The REAL Quo!

[@wilks6]

Don't miss out on the early & studio versions of Paper Plane

[@andrewcole7149]

Its like Whole lot of Rosie............but a year older. lolz.

[@mattmorris1558]

Another 2 great tracks off the same album are , Is There A Better Way and Ring of a Change , they both rock hard 🤘

[@j0hnf_uk]

From their 1976, 'Blue For You', album, this single, (although the album version is longer and has an interesting yet slightly unexpected beginning and ending), was one written by Rick Parfitt, who also sang the main vocals. The song apparently came about from him having had a teaspoon of speed that had, jokingly, placed into his cup of tea, earlier in the day. And he was left working on it by the rest of the band, only for them to discover the following morning that he was still at it, having gone non-stop through the night. 'Mystery Song', was the result. Why's it called that? The lyrics should make it more than apparent. The other great song/single from this album is, 'Rain.' Another one sang by Rick. Then, there's always, 'Ring Of A Change', which would have been very familiar if you'd bought, 'Rockin' All Over The World', as a single, as it was the B Side to it. 'Backwater/Just Take Me', would be one you could get your teeth into, I'm sure. Fancy a bit of a breather? Then try, 'Living On An Island!'

[@rodricselbie35]

The almighty QUO..:)

[@geertdelange4785]

Status Quo started in 1962

[@JimS-u4s]

Quo from the 1970s really were the best rock n roll band ever., and very much underrated for their originality and song writing. There are so many songs still to discover but the next logical one is 'Rain' from the same album.

[@andyellis1128]

All through the night, a 'B' side I think of Wild side of life, 1976 also.

[@chrisnott6146]

Another excellent and very humorous review. I just wish you were around when the Frantic Four Quo lineup reformed in 2013-2014. I would have paid for your flight, accommodation and ticket to one of the Hammersmith gigs. Unfortunately you would have not been allowed to take a machine gun into the venue! Backwater from NEC 1982 or Milton Keynes 1984 next please.

[@pascallarose2735]

Le meilleur groupe du monde 😮❤

[@thomasjones6216]

I think youd like "Over the Edge", "Rain" and "Beginning of the End" all by Quo IF YOUD LIKE TO TRY SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT; A FEW YEARS AGO QUO RELEASED AN ALBUM CALLED "AQUOSTIC STRIPPED BARE" A COMPILATION ALBUM WITH A DIFFERENCE AS ALL THE OLD CLASSICS WERE PERFORMED WITH ACOUSTIC GUITARS REALLY SHOWED OFF THEIR TALENT AS TRADITIONAL MUSICIANS AS WELL AS ROCKSTARS... :)

[@dirkbrinksma686]

They used Paper Plane for the fast skate at Streatham rink I remember many a time crashing into the boards skating to this

[@FenderTele]

The single edit from the long hot summer of 1976 a stormer of a song. Try Quos take on the old country song wild side of life from December 1976. Think of the Waylon Jennings take of the song and add the Quo kick!. Youll find some gems with a country flavour with likes of Claudie,fine fine fine and dirty water. I can picture you grinning from ear to ear when you hear the solos on these😁😁😁😁

Oh dear...You didn't listen to the "DEFINITIVE" Album version, like so many advised you to..PLEASE go and listen to the PROPER full length Album version..It is so superior in every way..The intro and outro are absolutely sublime...So dissapointed in Quo / Record company back in 1976 when they didn't take a chance, and release the full version...Go listen..You wont regret it !

One of the best rock songs of all time, but it get no credit.

[@MJWPub]

Dude, that's the edited single not the full album studio version... ya' missing about 2 mins!

[@alanstrom2221]

If you dig deep enough you'll find certain similarities between some Bands and some songs. It's in the ears of the listener though. I can't hear a strong connection with "Mystery Song" and "Whole Lotta Rosie." I have a very sharp ear for music and I still can't hear the connection between "My Sweet Lord" and "He's So Fine". We all know that George Harrison was sued for hundreds of thousands of dollars for 'plagiarism'. QUO were formed and recording many, many years before AC/DC. Both Bands were heavily influenced by CHUCK BERRY.

[@4stevio]

This amazing song and the whole Blue For You album was basically the Mighty Quo boogie on speed!
