I'm a huge fan of 70's complicated Prog Rock and I love the Quo. I never understand why some people juge their music as "basic" and "simple" (not to say "stupid"). Their vocal harmonies and instrumental arremgements were just brillant. They found so many great melodies on the 3 blues chords. Nobody ever done that. They were just genius. It sounds easy music untill you try to play it.

[@CascadiaCalvert]

I agree, I"m a later in life convert, from the States, and they were never played much on the radio here other than "Matchstick Men." I honestly discovered them through KZbin. This tune is balls out Chuck Berry meets The Zombies with a Quo twist, probably one of the best rock 'n' roll numbers of the 1970s, to be frank (when I was wee lad). Also made me dig deeper into their catalog. What a great group!

ALAN CHARLES LANCASTER otherwise known as NUFF, has passed away in Sydney, his home for 45 years. The founding member and the backbone of STATUS QUO had been suffering from Multiple Sclerosis for many years. Alan battled on bravely, performing at QUO's Reunion gigs in 2013 and 2014. Even though he had MS, Alan's performance and his vocals were the strongest of the three. My favourite member of QUO is Alan Lancaster. I had the pleasure of having a beer and a smoke with Alan at a Sydney pub gig, in Five Dock, when he had The Lancaster Bombers and The Lancaster/Brewster Bands in the late 80's. We had a longer chat at The Lewisham Hotel as well. These were dirty, grungy hotels, though this didn't phase the great man of the people. Alan was the most beautifil man, very humble, down to earth and a great guy to talk with and have a laugh. Vale Alan ( Nuff ) Lancaster RIP mate, you were one of the greatest Rockers of all time.

I was 16 and Stewarded at Wembley when they played, Francis blew me a kiss ! Never forgot it ! My older Cousins got me on to Quo. Then We saw them in Brighton a few years ago with Chas n Dave, excellent night. Obvs sadly two of them have left us now.. Great memories though xxx Love you Guys wherever you are xxx

I lost my Dad when I was just turned 16, this was his favourite song. That was back in 1983. I never got to say goodbye to my Dad. He was ex RN, I knew I would follow in his footsteps and he would be with me forever, I waited 18 months for my date to join. When I got my letter of exception and the date to join, 1985. 25/2/85 the 25/2 was my Dads birthday. He was there

So much great heavy boogie from this era. The Quo is right there with The Pie, Budgie, Foghat, Trapeze, etc.

[@iangillon6981]

Budgie. Yes Sir!!

Sackgeiler Sound schon in den 70ern, klingt für mich als Altrocker heute sogar noch besser!

Love Rick with that LP Special 🤩 I heard this just when it came out... great memories...But it is the way Alan strikes his bass all strings at once what really propels this song

Hi Tomas! Absolutely right! Some of the other KZbinrs may not know what is meant with "LP Special" Hope you don`t mind, if I take the liberty by bringing some Light to that riddle 😘! It is about the Guitar Rick ✝😢 played those days, a Gibson Les Paul (LP) Special 🥳😘!
