Status Quo play an amazing performance of Down Down at botanic gardens in Belfast on 28th may 2024!

[@alfiekelly5914]

Absoultely timeless. There must be millions of guitarists who rolled out their fisrt chords to Quo. I'm one

Alan was my inspiration for my Basswork, he lived here in our beloved Sydney, and died here RIP

Old! And wise! What a guitarslinger, keep on rocking man! ♨️🪨♨️

Classic songs never die just get better with age..🎸

Brilliant..Cheers from Austria

[@royb1001]

Great version of this song. Can't wait 'til August.

[@diterkalla3725]

Niesamowite! Dopiero co niedawno oglądałem wywiad z Francisem, w którym skarżył się na niemoc w palcach uniemożliwiającą grę na gitarze.... A tu popatrz.... Dziadek Francis dalej w akcji!!! Sto lat grania dla nas Statusiaków!!!

[@deanlunn1969]

Got to admit they sound great here 🎸

[@gazmad]

Rick was the real QUO for me but he'd be looking down down at this stage with a big smile 😂🎉

[@javiquo4975]

Lots of comments about real Quo, Francis Rossi band, no one about that Rockin On on the middle of the song. A Quo classic.

[@marygaleac]

Seen them multiple times in Glasgow and of course the Live album….which I’m singing on……I’m also singing on AC/DC The Jack also recorded in Glasgow……just loved the Quo in their prime…..best live band…..but just went to to record utter rubbish to appease the commercial side…..and lost their soul……

[@laurentinorealiglesias284]

Grandioso!!!son mi banda favorita desde el principio, casi 50 años!

[@patrickthomas1273]

My claim to fame, I got drunk with quo in early 90s in Newport South Wales after their concert

[@stephenparker3291]

See you tonight in Wolverhampton at 730 status quo

[@PhilipJames-t1g]

Francis Rossi band, surely. It’s not Quo anymore.

[@tommyd5238]

It always was the Francis Rossi band !

[@stephenmcconway4894]

Completely agree with you mate 😊👍

[@vanzandt8809]

Of course it is!

[@ianheath4332]

Agreed it’s a shame

[@dirkheyer196]

@@ianheath4332 A shame like ACDC now, oh sorry, Angus Young band or Angus and his fellows contract musicians. Any problems with it? When you don't like Quo now, a simple advice.. Don't listen to them and search for an old band with original band members. L. Skynyrd for example... Gooood luck...

[@adrianr9307]

The francis rossi flying circus band. The real Quo are long gone.

[@dirkheyer196]

Good morning. It's known since sooo many years...

[@osk1n]

What do you consider the real Quo? Before Parffit? After Coghlan or Lancaster? With Jaworski or Alan Key? Maybe the band since the mid 80’s?

[@michael5089]

​@@osk1nExactly!❤👍

[@ackerjawaka4742]

The first time I saw them John Coghlan had just been sacked and Peter Kircher was on drums, going to see them in August for the first time in 42 years 😜

[@dirkheyer196]

​@ackerjawaka4742 1984 I saw them for the first time. Until now maybe 80x,the last time on 7th June 2024.The FF only one time, 2014 in Berlin. It was nice to see them.... not more..

[@stephengreen6338]

there in orange section

[@henrygaughan3644]

Riche Malone every bit as good as any rhythm guitarist and that includes Parfitt.

[@adrianland9362]

Drummer looks like he doesn’t want to babe there 😳.

[@adrianland9362]

Be there

[@JayStapley]

A pro doing his gig, mate.

[@progmeup]

Well, so did John Coghlan when he was in the band!

[@WELLSIANA62]

but does one person make it Status Quo ,,,,its one off a tribute band

[@bryandoherty6426]

In fairness that like saying AcDc is one off a tribute band

[@noizemanjj]

If they are still putting out new material it is not a tribute band. However the middle repetitive bit was a bit tedious!

[@progmeup]

Andy Bown has been playing with Quo since 1973 in the studio and 1976 live. Rhino has been in the band since 1986. Heck, even Leon has now already been in Quo for over a decade...

[@sahhull]

Most of the members have been in the band longer than the original members, yet you still dont accept them. I suggest you move along to another band and stop listening.

[@woodse9]

Oh dear

[@cliffboulton8763]

Sorry Francis, you really do need Rick (RIP)

[@sahhull]

Yawn.

[@dbriddie9525]

brilliant, however its disappointing to see "Rick" holding the guitar like Rick, strumming like Rick. coincidence? It's like a cover band would do.....

[@dirkheyer196]

I think Rick would like it. He knew him. Tell me, how many SQ cover bands you are knowing with 3 band members in the age of 71,75 and 78 years who are playing more than 30 gigs in a year?

[@progmeup]

Not a coincidence - he learned from Rick personally, after all.

[@neil1390]

This is not an amazing version of this song, boring is a better word

[@sahhull]

Id agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.

[@TDtog2112]

Not the same without Rick....sorry

[@sueperglue8847]

Rick is dead for 8 years now. Stop complaining about him not being in the band anymore. We know that. Rick can't play anymore and he won't come back! Why do you still comment about this band that you don't like anymore is something I don't get! A lot of people disagree with you anyhow since their shows still attract enough fans.

[@sahhull]

Rick is going to be dead for a long time. He's not coming back.

[@AzizSonbay08]

This change was not a good one. It's unnecessarily long and the repetition is annoying. It gives the impression of an amateur band. The well-known original of the song is better.

[@graniterhythm53]

Yep, Rossi just trashed a classic!

[@AzizSonbay08]

The sound is really good, especially the drum sound is a perfect, full sound compared to the previous ones. Everything is fine until the middle of the song. The changes in the middle were not good, they ruined the song.

[@skylineXpert]

The intro sounds a bit to unplugged compared to Glastonbury 2009.

[@osk1n]

If anybody puts their phone up in front of me at a concert it gets knocked out of their hand and trod on!

[@RobertMackenzie-yn8ig]

How to ruin a classic quo number in my opinion

[@bond207]

Love them ..seen them 1994 ..warm then up for Rod Stewart ....love there music ...what a sound ❤❤❤❤❤

[@nigeljohnston1148]

I’ll always remember seeing them in the early 80s - the excitement and anticipation was incredible and they didn’t disappoint.

[@OlafProt]

It's a weird one alright. But If Francis is enjoying himself why the fuck should he stop?! Especially if He & Rick had the conversation about carrying on. For context, bassist John Edwards and keyboardist Andy Bown are the longest serving members (despite not being original Members), except for Francis and Rick. So you know. It's all just a broom that's had its brush and pole replaced many times, but still does the same Thing. 🤷‍♂️

[@leiper72]

I watched them in Motala 4th aug.. This is an amazing version of DD, in 20204..! Love from Sweden! 🥰

[@TheAcousticBandits]

Sounds amazing! Rockin as always! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@skylineXpert]

It sounds a bit dialed back In volume

[@sicksquid3258]

Time to pack it in chaps.

[@gerardohagan2955]

I was not far behind you there. Brilliant night 🎸

[@VStrom2019]

Must have changed his pickups, that’s the first time in years that Telecaster sounded like a Telecaster

[@juanbbien]

What the hell was all that about in the middle of the song.

[@tommyd5238]

They get bored doing the same thing over again, that's why most bands do this.

[@peroduanippa]

I would say the same thing.

[@sueperglue8847]

It is a song from Whatever You Want called Rockin' On!

[@johnrice7076]

The quicker they stop this freakshow the better ruining a once great band

[@grahamclayton675]

It’s good , but it’s not status quo.. .. kinda like ac/dc just to long in the tooth anymore .. shame
