[@kurtekerhaugen9755]

I miss Rick! What a great man, and a great musician.

[@Shell6424]

[@Nyquest]

More to come!

​@@Nyquest Do you know what year this was? It looks like the Frantic Four reunion.

[@renekuskchristensen2182]

Miss you Rick. RIP😢😢😢

[@ericdanielski4802]

Nice interview.

[@Andy.01_uk]

I saw John Foggerty live and before he played Rockin All Over The World he said this next song was made famous by that other group..

[@sueperglue8847]

Well, I think Fogerty is happy when he gets the royalties of that song. Georgia Satellites also play a version.

[@samiarojoki8444]

Thanks for all there magnificent videos!

[@Nyquest]

Glad you like them!

[@autoclearanceuk7191]

That is totally Spinal Tap. The bass player emigrated to Australia, so they put a life-size puppet of him on stage.

[@johnnywardle]

I used to live in Queensbury in Upstate New York and there was a local diner that had a jukebox where you could make selections from the booth where you were sitting. John Fogerty's original version of "Rockin' All Over the World" was on there and that was the first time I'd ever heard it and I would always put it on when I went in. Most people who lived there had never heard of Status Quo.

[@QXZJX]

Imagine if the puppet had returned for magerita time😮

[@Ryxn97]

Nobody ever fit the rockstar profile like Rick - he was born to be a rockstar

[@anthonyclarke5579]

I think it was '75 DeMontfort Hall Leicester. That cheeky chappie Francis Rossi walked out on stage and said as his opening line "if you've come here wanting to hear hit singles f--k off now cos we're not interested" and with that they kicked off and into gear. The balcony where I was sitting immediately began to move or bounce so I left and made my way to the ground floor back of the hall. No mincing or messing around, just heads down no nonsense mindless boogie. Ahh them were the day's.

[@georgeakins]

Rick Parfitt was Mr Rock n Roll. Sadly missed RIP

[@Lensman864]

The similarities in looks and voice between Rick and David St. Hubbins are very amusing whilst the puppet is explained. 😁

[@skylineXpert]

Making a cover song their own/signature. Ingenious...

[@sueperglue8847]

Georgia Satellites did a version of it too.

[@johno4521]

This is clearly part of a longer interview - where can we see it???

After the Pinnacle of Live! Rocking All over The World Was a Crushing Disappointment and So Was If You Cant Stand the Heat

[@pauladams3057]

Blame Pip Williams

[@Battismore-Blue]

Alan Lancaster wasn`t on another TOTP , was it Jim Lea who stood in for him ?

[@grobbler1]

Yes. 'Marguerita Time,' when Rick deliberately falls onto the drums.

[@FrozenHero2010]

Alan was in Australia and woudn't fly back, so the band used a mannequin. Jim Lea stood in for Alan on 'Marguerita Time', because Alan didn't want to be seen dead playing that song. EDIT: The mannequin was used for RAOTW.

[@hankwedelmusic9965]

There’s something happens at the end of “Rockin’ All Over The World” that’s truly magical which keeps everyone wanting to hear it to the very end The repeating guitar riff starts and, second round in, the bass drum doubles up… a subtle kick genius… Opening Live Aid with this was as great as anything that happened that day Too bad John Fogerty was a bit sniffy with them

[@pauljones9061]

I never liked Rockin or the weedy production, Alan stayed for 5 more albums, the cracks appeared on Marquerita time and Going down town tonite, and Alan was spot on. Notice none of that rubbish appeared with the Frantic four reunion.

[@sueperglue8847]

Alan himself wrote some pretty crap songs as well for the later albums.

[@brucelinton6881]

those two songs werent FF,,,,they were from Back To Back, which had Pete Kirscherr on drums

[@alanstrom2221]

I'm fairly certain Fogerty would've been jealous and envious of STATUS QUO'S superior version. People will ignore and avoid people that they feel threatened by. The same applies to American Record Companies and Radio Stations ignoring Status Quo because QUO were better than all the American Bands. American Bands paled into insignificance compared to the might n power of Status Quo.

[@libertyordeaf]

I'm fairly certain Fogerty wouldn't have cared less because the Status Quo version would have made him a shitload of money, given how often it has been used.

[@marknieuweboer8099]

Of course Fogerty cared - or he would have behaved friendlier. Apparently he couldn't stand the thought that the song fit Status Quo, the ultimate party band, better than him.

[@nik67502]

I preferred their earlier period. This was too poppy for me.

[@michaelohagan6546]

same and i think whatever u want is my least fave of Quo

[@alanstrom2221]

@@sueperglue8847 WYWant is one of their better albums. The summer of '79 was spent smoking a lot of Durbin's Poison and rockin' to the mighty QUO after 2 mediocre Disco albums in '77 & '78.

[@alanstrom2221]

Of course '79 was exploding with the massive New Wave/Post-Punk artists too. Great to be 18 in 1979.
