Status Quo Sound Check Brighton part1

#statusquo Status Quo Sound Check Brighton part1

[@GW-kg3dc]

How empty the rock world is without Rick,, , you try to get the sweeping shredders play 2 hours of metronome precise 12 bar blues on 11 gauge strings,,,, Rick was a beast of a rhythm guitar player !! And a great singer !!

[@ulstervillan1307]

The quintessential rock star.!

[@richardlloyd166]

Much missed

[@hey1908]

They were actually 14 gauge strings. Not many people could even finish a song on those😂

[@leesloan8216]

​@@hey1908to be more precise they were 14-56 with a wound 26G and they are heavy! I had a Tele set up with them for a long time when I was a rhythm player. Let me tell ya after a two hour gig you knew about it.

[@frankdiscussion2069]

SRV: "Hold my beer"

[@taffboyslim]

Saw their two end of the road concerts in the 80s at Selhurst Park and Milton Keynes. The last gigs with the 'proper' line-up - my calves hurt for days afterwards from bouncing up and down for two hours each night. Everyone thinks Quo's music is easy but if you've ever tried playing a Quo song like Quo play it, then you'll appreciate the amount of ballsy effort it takes to make that unique sound. I don't have may heroes but Parfitt and Rossi are two of them - they made me want to be them. Plus their harmonies are often overlooked - top, top band.

[@lenahedlund1993]

Sound 1000 times better than any Simon Cowell boy band just on the sound check

[@raymondvaughan6262]

That's because it's not mass production shite

8 days after his (Rick) heart attack, and under strict instructions not to jump around on stage

Did Rick ever jump around onstage? I don't think I ever saw him do that.

[@46Ashgrove]

Heroes since 1972, first got to see them play live two nights running in 1976, last time was 2015. 😢 Although it’s only FR remaining from the original line up, I still enjoy the band.

[@lenahedlund1993]

The best band ever❤

[@jumbo8996]

Saw these guys a few years ago. There were several big bands on the card but these boys were head and shoulders the best.

I once saw Status Quo live and it was a great performance. You can’t keep old rockers down,they still play as well as ever.

[@johnbernhardtsen3008]

I love what Francis said in an interview about "Why not play Wembley for 3-5 nights and earn the big bucks there?" he answered "Then we wouldnt be on the road!"

[@SRSR-pc8ti]

I saw them on my 16th birthday - it was amazing. I'm 57 now 🙂

[@jontaylor1652]

God bless Rick. Legend!

[@leehambleton9919]

[@TrueBlade-1889]

Reckon the new band should basically call themselves the Francis Rossi band. Gotten ridiculous. And they're re-recording old classics from the 70s ... WTAF ?!?

[@cameronrogers8212]

My fave band. Such a shame Francis changed from proper tele single coil pickups to those weird sounding white things. Such tone killers.

[@garethdawson9493]

Why would you put 3 pick ups on a tele? Just use a Strat! In my opinion, neck and bridge single coils together sounds 100x better than a middle single coil on its own.

[@tonywright8294]

Not status quo is it it’s Francis Rossi and band .it like Paul McCartney with backing musicians been called the Beatles !

[@pauljones9061]

This is awesome, and so British, one of the best rock n roll bands ever smashing out tunes and ones wearing a Woolley hat and the others wearing a north face fleece, you'd never catch Axle and Slash dressed like that! And to cap it off Roy Wood turns up, as British and as rock n roll as it ever could be!!!

[@baynesstreetblues]

Don’t Waste My Time - what an absolutely rip-roarer of a classic 12 bar boogie song from the uniformly excellent Piledriver album (arguably Quo’s best).

[@Thomas-cx6cb]

what I admired the most is their stamina in barree grabbing and the traditional rock 'n roll grip with the little finger. I've tried it myself for years but never managed in terms of strength😅

[@stephenvalente3296]

The annoying thing is my wife and I were meant to be at that concert, but our eldest daughter forgot to book a leave day off 4 months in advance (!) so she could watch our youngest boy that night. We had some words to say to her at the time given we had great seats not far from the stage!

[@themvsthemvsus]

Similar thing happened to me. I was meant to see them in 1969 but my wife (Neil Armstrong) had to go to the moon or something with a couple of friends. Needless to say…we divorced shortly after.

@@heavyheadrecords He was, but he deserves so much more than that for his work with The Move - one of the best bands of the 60s, Wizzard - one of the top bands of the glam rock era, and his solo work. I fear it will be a case of waiting till he dies before his talent actually gets recognised.
