[@mikehurley5052]

Very underrated guitarist, been loving quo for 50 years.

[@ste123456754]

Weres the time gone feel so bloody old😢

[@burgeysg8714]

Underatted?

[@trevorchambers1812]

More than 50 sodding years and it sounds as fresh now as it did on Ma Kelly.....Long Live Rossi!

[@walrtbstudios5430]

It’s the blues. It doesn’t get old.

[@jamesjohnson77]

Constantly amazed at how good Rossi’s voice still sounds, hasn’t changed at all. I hope this gets a release for those not able to attend the shows.

[@andrew-gregor]

He‘s been taking good care of his health for at least 20 years now

[@soloperformer5598]

It's on a number of Status Quo albums.

[@davidhaspell6417]

I hear being released on vinyl

[@Andy-hb8kl]

Erm, it;s defo a couple of tones ,lower!!

[@GeorgeStanley-l8e]

Since a child I have always enjoyed status quo

[@Sven_E07]

Wow, what a guitar sound! And playing! The early blues rock Quo stuff was the best.

[@markhill9275]

Fender Acoustasonic

[@Hickalum]

The most truly awful guitar sound I’ve ever heard.

[@emmapeel5303]

Francis, you were my greatest love since I was 14. 😍"Ma Kelly´s" was my first album, and I still love it.

[@vano758]

Dammit!!! Still alive and kicking! Awesome. Sharing this on my Facebook immediately!

[@thesmallnotesduo]

One of four LEGENDS.

[@Mick_Aus]

Francis Rossi is like an old bottle of wine, he just keeps getting better with age.... greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 ... 🤘

[@sylvia8756]

Hello from CH

[@Vicdavies151]

Heard this song 1970 at kursaal ballroom in Southend at age 14 loved quo ever since

[@woodfreak814]

Have always been a massive Quo fan and also Blues. Francis ain't just twelve bar player. Great to hear him play and sing so well. FFS he must be older than me at 73.

[@Eriiicksonn]

He will turn 75 in 2024

[@peterlittle6665]

Was so lucky to see this gig last year.What an amazing night

[@ferraridinoman]

Loved old Rossi from the "Pictures of Matchtick Men days!! (Keep going young Francis!! x)

[@stephenwhite2674]

Went to see the show last night in Yeovil, It was Fantastic, Will be going again and again.....

[@wildnfrantic1015]

Saw Francis at Dorking yesterday evening, and though initially hesitant about seeing him, it was a fantastic evening and restored my faith in him, - hopefully he'll return with more Tunes and Chat as this felt such a natural environment for him and he really seems to enjoy it. Hats off to Andy Brook, too, as he really complimented and fitted in well with the songs

[@louiserawle8999]

Brilliant..Go Francis Rossi.You Rock.❤❤❤❤❤

[@bricemace914]

listening to radio 4 'Ice cream scoop' with Rossi explaining how they were icecream sellers from vans and how they came up with the chimes, very technical, bouncing the chimes off the road, amazing, just had to listen to his music

[@BARROOMBOOGIE]

Just amazing , nobody does it better , still sounds fresh

[@hgn2321]

Everything Aquostic was not. Love it! More pls ❤

[@paolopannuzzo1194]

W! Status Quo forever!

[@eniotnazerep8653]

Quo quo quo Status Quo, juste superbe, Francis Rossi is Magic!

[@thetruth156real3]

Francis Rossi, the only rock star I know who’s embarrassed by how much esteem he’s held in. I grew up listening to the old stuff and I was twelve when Rocking all over the world came out, the last single I bought by Quo, I moved on to Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Free but even now when I hear a Quo song I can’t believe that I know all the words off by heart, they must have been a big influence on me, more then even I thought?👍👍

[@patrickmcdonald2239]

This is just the business Francis Rossi still sounding great timeless, and the Acoustisonic sounds cool 😊

[@Bigsmig1]

Francis Rossi can just about do anything with a guitar , brilliant just doesn't do him justice,,,, loved this

[@silentzero7]

I think he is a bit underrated guitarist, great musician.

[@Saxondog]

Always liked this one along with Down the Dustpipe. Rossi can play a pretty good lead guitar as well 😊

[@zeus-bx9xw]

1976 Carlaw park, auckland, first overseas band me and my wife saw...yip we still together...

[@theSunblessed]

So talented

[@alimanhagler4510]

Super super super ❤❤❤❤ thanks you

[@6666steved]

I bought a Fender Acoustasonic when they first came out. One hell of a guitar. Nice to see three of them on stage here.

[@toppertruthio]

Come on francis ....We want a blues album .....id buy it

[@jonathanpardoe8722]

My first love was Quo back in 72 , through all the punk, glam, reality, new wave and boybands , there has always been Quo, like the queen herself , a "Constant" in our lives and no sign of the Quo era ending . I loved the "Spoon" album for the "Juniors Wailing " classic but still enjoyed this just the same .

[@shelaghkeen7960]

Looking forward to his concert in September (Guildford) , We have been to many Status Quo concerts over the last 40 +years!

[@michelbonnet3787]

Just back in my young years... 🤩

[@GpoppaJohn]

Absolute legend. I could listen to Francis all night long.

[@EvaLudwig-yf7zm]

Same here. Francis Rossi's voice is still so strong. I love that man.

[@redlabel3977]

Great band , where does time go 🖤

[@philippaine]

Why has he not been knighted?

[@rjsegedin7116]

No knighthood but he and Rick Parfitt were both awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire) in the Queen's 2010 New Year Honours.

[@guickdotto4552]

Cos he's not a useless Tory backbencher.

[@georgekirkwood7976]

An Officer of the Order of the British Empire, his correct title.

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Because he never found the fourth chord

[@terencebarrett2897]

Absolutely brilliant and real natural talent

[@MatthewNorthMusic]

This is absolutely superb. The Essence of Quo and for me why I wanted to play the guitar. Last Friday in Plymouth was fantastic.

[@muttlee9195]

Horses for courses

[@josephking1947]

What a brilliant blues man and song writer Francis Rossi is, I missed the opportunity of meeting the him in my youth, one of life's regrets.

[@YukaHotta0529]

Super cool💚

[@henryfrost8542]

Brilliant 🎸🎸🎸

[@nelsonsouthsider3005]

Yes his voice is brilliant great great artist

[@oskarkunz13]

Hello Francis, wonderful these concerts in the red armchairs. When can we visit them in Switzerland, will there be one. The songs, the guitars and the unbelievable sound are brilliant, as always, for what feels like 50 years. Kind regards, Osi

[@IanMcGarr]

Now this is proper acoustic. I'd buy a full album of this kinda stuff. Aquostic was good for what it was but didn't have enough guitar.

[@bm3738]

Sorry to me aquostic sucked big time imo

[@TheThejpmshow]

I just love Francis’ face when he’s in the midst of a solo / fill A man totally in tune (no pun intended) with his instrument

Yeah! And Andy Brook is a great sideman;->

[@markhandley7665]

i have seen him so many times and the first two albums i bought were status quo such a legend great seeing him perform acoustic

[@ROCKHITS572]

superb good on Rossi as its always been keep on rocking Francis 👍👍👍👍😉

[@connorwhite8288]

Absolutely brilliant Francis

[@billwilkinson4012]

Always maintained Rossi was good guitarist. Love this jam.

[@davidhaspell6417]

Fantastic! Frank has found someone to sing Rick's harmony parts!

[@juanpabloberger5552]

Francis ros🎸 espetacular 🎸

[@stevecronin1566StevieC]

These guys are perfect..they just feel it .. amazing!

[@RonMcKenzie-bw7iq]

Awesome. A true legend and what a legacy he will leave. In about at least 30 years time. Lotta rocking left in this grand master. The other guy a real talent as well. If anyone can help with his name. By the way Rick Parfitt is sadly missed. Legends. They will hook up again one day, I am sure. Excuse me if I have a little cry.

[@wirelessboogie]

This is what the acoustic albums should have been recorded like. Great!

[@wirelessboogie]

@Snakedriver no, I mean they should have been recorded this way, plain and bluesy, without orchestra, harmonica, back vocalists and stuff

[@ParaBellum2024]

@@wirelessboogie They could probably remaster them to remove the superfluous instrumentation.

[@bm3738]

​@@wirelessboogie totally agree

I really did not like aquostic just my opinion

I always loved his voice and playing. My first LP was Dog of Two Head, trying to learn Paper Plane .....lol

He must be good because Brian May said he would love to be in Quo and shared lead guitar with him doing "Raining in my heart" and the Beach boys were happy to play with them, 3 chords, don't you believe it !!!

Francis has changed a few of the lyrics, but that's cool, it's his song. In this LIVE version Francis sings "Well, I lost my money" whereas, it is.......... There's one or two more he changes as well. Poetic license.

For non-commercial use only. As a Guitarist, Francis has always been very close to being #1 QUO fans will say that Francis and Rick are the 2 best Guitarists of all time, and I would agree. As an obsessed QUO fan, I regard " Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon " and " Dog of Two Head" as a Watershed period for them. I was 9 yrs old in 1970 when I heard " Down The Dustpipe" and my brain screamed " What the fuck is that?" My life changed forever and the better. Long live THE QUO!!!!!!!!!
