Status Quo at the Night of the Proms - Whatever you want.avi

Status Quo playing Whatever you want at a "Night of the Proms" show.
They seem to enjoy themselves quite much, and so do the orchestra and crowd :)

[@fearlesscaution4950]

There is not a person alive today who doesn’t smile their arse clean off at this. RIP Rick, and thanks for leaving us with something this goddamn awesome.

Still can't believe Rick & Alan have passed away... ☹️

There isn't a musician or an audience member in that arena that will ever forget this performance......Just brilliant..

[@urbanbader4113]

Yep 💯👍🏽 but fantastic owe only 4 grips on guitar EADG

[@martintob7908]

I have regrets about this band. My son aged about 8 playing air guitar ( he's 52 now and still playing the guitar). I live in Cognac ( yeh that place), and some years ago they headed the bill on Cognac Blues Passion - the audience in a small amphitheatre was only a few thousand- but they played for 2 hours non-stop, and I was totally exhausted at the end. So now, hearing this, with this intro, makes me cry (I'm only 80 years old), the pleasure is indescribable . In a way,(this is going to cause trouble), it reminds me of the big orchestras playing instrumental versions of Beatles songs back in the day. Thank you Quo, for more than 40 years of pleasure 😂😂😂😂

[@edwardcharlesworth5192]

The music snobs still rattle on about Quo's so called limited music ability but my ears know what they like. Always were and always will be one of the best rock bands ever. GO QUO!!!

[@landroveraddict2457]

They weren't the most talented musicians or even songwriters. No band could rock a stadium like Quo, just the best live band on the planet. RIP Alan and Rick.

[@kenmarriott6816]

With over 60 (correct) chart hits, more than any other band, who cares what music snobs say. Terrific group

The orchestra are playing out of their skins having the time of their lives proving that rock n roll and opera do mix,when it is by genuine musically gifted people and that it transcends all generations. RIP Rick.😄😁🥂🍾👍🍺

That's what you want from a concert - and a gig. Brilliant. No idea what the Conductor made of it, but the violins and double bass players were getting down and dirty.

[@alejandrodear69]

This performance is gorgeous. I never saw an orchestra swing like this

[@petergowers4109]

As someone who remembers the original release I can only say I wish I had been there for this. B**dy wonderful performance by all!!

Now just try and follow that performance. Mind blowing in it's brilliance.

[@garylove5475]

Oh my good God. What a ball. Quo at the proms and there was not one soul there who did not absolutely rock that. The orchestra adored it, the band adored it and I loved it. Over the years Quo have been loved, derided , but they have stood the test of time. Played Piledriver a few weeks back and it sure did take me back . Joyous music and they have brought pleasure to the masses over five plus decades. I love Quo and God bless Rick . RIP

I don’t know their names, but can remember in the 80s the pianist had dark hair and mustache and ice cold look, like he was angry all the time. And now almost unrecognizable. White hair white mustache and not so angry look. I think we all going to soften up with age!
