Quo bro...in case you don't already know...Rick and Alan are passed on 😞 the four originals reformed after many years apart for an awesome amazing tour 2013/14 billed as the frantic four. Check out the frantic four live on youtube...plenty of options... I would recommend the first 19 minutes, opening 4 tracks, to begin with. Hope this helps. Keep it going big guy 💪💪😎🤠

Quo changed my life in 1978. "Backwater/Just Take Me" were played on the radio (from this album). "That is really good band"... I went to my hometown library and they had "On The Level" album. From the first notes of "Little Lady/Most Of The Time" I knew I had found my favorite band. They still are, after 47 fantastic gigs. A fan of life 💖

[@DerbyVillan]

This is probably one of the best songs they ever wrote, even better when its live. If you want to see the latest and final lineup of status quo you will need to watch them this year and possibly a few gigs going into next year...after that they wont be touring anymore. The music might never die , the fans will always be there , but the musicians are reaching the stage whereby its time to call it a day for the tours. Ive had the pleasure of seeing them many many times at a lot of venues since 1974 and those memories will always stay with me forevormore. BTW the Quo Army are fantastic , they know great music when they hear it and all their concerts rock.

Thanks for all the various reaction and analysis videos you have uploaded to KZbin. I have to go to work and have only watched a few minutes of your live stream. My comment is about the small amount of content I have seen. Taking Miyako as an example, having a classically trained background, always shines through. You can experience various rock and metal bands, going back to the 70's where a member as had extensive or some classical training. What has change for budding or experienced musician's, is the affordability of recording and editing equipment. You can literally have a professional studio in your bedroom.

The first album I ever bought with my own money was Status Quo in 1974 (Greatest Hits with more following in quick succession). After that, I just couldn't get enough and strangely my mother liked them as well. My old man was only into stuff that was waaayyyy in the past and I think he hated it when I cranked it up. But Quo MUST be played loud! Now it's 50 years later and I am still listening to Quo and that will not end until I say my mortal goodbye. Hey, maybe my gravestone should read Down Down.....

And John Coghlan is a left handed drummer

[@j0hnf_uk]

Ah right. This is another great example of Quo's mastery when it comes to doing long songs that fly by in no time at all, that they would end their albums with, that leaves you wanting more. There's definitely a theme going, considering you've done, 'forty-five hundred times', and, 'Bye Bye Johnny', so far. There's a few more which fit into the same category still to go, though. 'Roadhouse Blues', and, 'Mystery Song', being the ones that immediately spring to mind. The 1974, 'Quo', album continued the legacy of, 'Hello!', with the obvious other choice for consideration being the 2 opening tracks, (I say 2 as they run from one to the other), namely, 'Backwater', and, 'Just Take Me.' John Coghlan, the drummer, shone quite magnificently on this album. The solo on, 'Slow Train', only being one example. The majority of songs on this album were written and sang by their then bassist Alan Lancaster, and it kind of shows. Not only the 2 openers, but also, 'Drifting Away', and, 'Don't Think It Matters.' Francis Rossi sang 3, namely, the only single from the album, 'Break The Rules', (which ought to be given a listen, if nothing else), 'Fine Fine Fine', and, 'Slow Train.' Rick Parfitt only contributed the one song. A laid-back breather called, 'Lonely Man.' You could do the entire album as, much like their previous 2 albums, there's not a skipper among them. You've done it again as far as songs by Quo that haven't been reacted to before. Hopefully, it'll start a trend. I would highly recommend, 'Mystery Song', (album version, of course), as the next song to react to by Status Quo.

[@morp947]

For live performances, I would recommend the Birmingham 1989 show. Like all bands with long careers you can now use the benefit of hindsight to divide up a band's career into different phases. In the late 80s, the synths and keys work beautifully to add a new dimension to their live performances, in my opinion. Francis' lead guitar sounds fresh and punchy I think. I would suggest 'The Power of Rock', one of their last long songs, with tempo changes, a catchy chorus and blistering solos on both guitar and piano. But make sure you choose the live version. 'The Power of Rock' - live. I would describe it as an 80s relative to the 70s juggernauts 'Forty-Five Hundred Times' and 'Slow Train'. But in my opinion, a fabulous creation at a time when the band's live shows were absolutely on fire.
