Roadhouse Blues - Status Quo - Frantic Four

[@ep9421]

RIP ALAN LANCASTER 🙏 😢 Will be missed but never forgotten. Thanks for the memories

[@richardhullah729]

The 'Real' Status Quo will always be best remembered for the solid driving bass of Alan Lancaster. It was great to see the original four back together on the reunion tours of 2013 and 2014. Without Alan (and John) they were never the same.

[@tonyball3638]

Couldn't of put it better myself no disrespect to the new members but the original Quo were something else

[@patmcardle2769]

These days its just Rossi and his cover band .....

[@doughall5559]

Love the quo version of this song Rick and Alan's memory lives on while there is you tube.

[@bozzbee13]

This was the Quo line up of my youth, head down no nonsense boogie..When all four of them were in the groove it was an unstoppable train, a train driven by the rhythm section...Quo oooooh😁😎

[@GrandslamTim1]

These 4 guys were the first live band i ever saw back in 1972/3 - The Hello Tour. I still remember it so well now - Thank you Status Quo

[@bastin.7948]

RIP lovely Alan! The voice at 2:42 gives me goosebumps, the sound made by these four sounded incredible. No one can reproduce this magic again.

This is the Quo I fell in love with back in 1973. Lancaster and Coghlan should never have left . All 4 are so right together. Magic!!

[@IMG-Photography]

The nearest thing in a group with a 25% split that you will ever see. 3 different lead vocals, songs written and co-written by 3 of the group (mainly) and all driven along by great shuffle drums

1977 - Sheffield City Hall - when they were still a rock band and WAY before the descent into cabaret. The balconies were bouncing!!

[@petemanning4672]

Quo have always been a "pop" band - POPular - that's what it stands for...the difference is that in the 70's - Rock music was the POPular music of the time. Quo have always done "light" music (the awful Joanne for a start) .

[@gecbimiro2268]

With Rick Parfitt🖤

[@Driver2616]

Pity that it seemed to escape Francis Rossi’s attention that musically, this is (was - RIP Rick) the best lineup of the band. I know that they made a far better living in latter years, after the departure of Nuff and Spud, with the other guys and that’s fair enough. I suppose they couldn’t keep playing the same hard/heavy boogie blues rock for 50 years. They had to diversify and progress into what became known as “Quo Lite”. But again, this is certainly the best incarnation of the band.

[@malcpaul996]

I was the biggest Quo fan of all time, but Quo Lite was a housewife group. Such a shame but hey, Rossi and Parfitt went where the money was I guess. Shame because the music was too diluted for hardcore fans.

[@pauljones9061]

Francis always wanted thing's his way, ie the rubbish they have produced since 1981, you now have Rhino singing Rick's songs, embarrassing.

[@sheilaburrowes9081]

@@pauljones9061 Rhino doesn't have a bad voice; he just has a terrible voice _for Quo_ where a cleaner sound is wanted (tho Roadhouse is a bad example). He and Bown actually have good voices for certain specific types of hard rock, like the kinds they play in their own bands.

[@ddelaney712]

Gonna give Alan and Quo some kudos for this. Blues is what I call knuckle dragging music for knuckle heads like me. Nothing fancy, willing to get down and get dirty. A far cry from electric and the like. I'm not slagging any music, just how it really makes me feel. Blues is all about emotions and feelings. Electric music put together. Not with feeling, like blues, but with craft. The guys did good on this. Nice one guys. Thank you.

[@McCaff62]

This is why Ma kellys/and Dog of 2 head are awesome albums, rock/blues .

Could be right ..don't think Fran was to keen on the reunion , when you hear him chatting ...

[@jamesb1647]

Francis definitely didn’t like this reunion you can tell, he just couldn’t bully rick as Rick was a joint frontman. Francis said he was seen as number 1 by the others...but I don’t think so
