Possibly one of the greatest UK rock bands of all time! If not in the world. BYE BYE JOHNNY! BYE BYE JOHNNY BE GOODE!

[@alanstrom2221]

Lancaster spoke very nicely, though you wouldn't wanna fight him. RIP Alan Charles Lancaster

[@boxerdog458]

[@mrargyllsox4117]

Glasgow's Apollo at that time are magnificent memories..Quo were the best.

[@olragblues]

the original and best line up shit hot!

[@namaste929]

pour moi c est la meilleur epoque !

[@fanelo]

They always show so much passion on stage!!!!

[@pigginmanda]

Seen Quo 13 times now and every show is FANTASTIC!!!!! Brilliant live band..loads of fun ...i love em :)

[@impact1]

Greatest band ever in this line up. Classic Quo. Alan gave Qua that rougher edge. Rick is the Best rhythm guitarist ever. Saw them in november in amsterdam...awesome. Still this was easily THE best line up. CLASSIC !

[@HAVIR-qs2wu]

YES.YES.

[@cc75frenchygirl]

i was on the left top side of the stage. my dad is friends with the boss of the recording company of status quo or something, so we get free tickets, and thats the guest section. i went to see them dec 13th last year. they played on the 14th too?? their songs just never get annoying like most songs now a days..

[@3puddycat]

Many bad things have been said about the quo over the years but lets not forget that quo were not a heavy rock band they were a rock boogie band and in the 1st half of the 70's there was no other band that could touch the energy they created in there live shows, and if any wants to listern to a brillant rock album check out piledriver the best album they ever recorded ever track a classic best rock album of the 70's

[@AC-ny1di]

piledriver WILL DO MISSED THAT ONE THANKS

[@vdsc2007]

Rock and Roll can't never die!

[@tropicoutopico1]

Teatro Monumental in Madrid 1975. Amazing. it was my first international concert and I will never forget how Status Quo played so good and tight !!!

[@GuitarGuy5000000000]

Classic blues rock and roll! Long Live Quo!

[@Champion04]

Status Quo was best on the 70s, with Alan Lancaster and John Coghlan. Then they played rock'n'roll. Now they play schlagermusic >.>

[@bigraymie]

Thanx craggers, that brough back excellent memories... Ahh my misspent youth :)

[@PomyCollingwood]

Status fuckin' Quo is a great band. They're very good live & they just relentless... they have the same neverending buzz like Motorhead. The same un-compromisin' Rock N Roll attitude... like a train rumblin' on the track. Very good. I lis'n to 'Quo for a long long time and can't get enough of it. In this video is funy that the bass guitarist was singin' nowadays (and actually classic Quo songs as well) Rossi / Parfitt sings... Good job, well done, long live Status Quo! POMY COLLINGWOOD

[@Variablequo]

Status Quo..... in qualsiasi salsa tu li senta saranno sempre i Number One....!

[@TubeMobo]

Perfect rock'n'roll!!!

[@poolying67]

Sheer class! We need Quo in Italy!!

[@chrisb1953]

I saw Status Quo about the same time ie. 1975 at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney. Lancaster married an Aussie girl shortly after and left the band. I saw Quo for the 2nd time in late 2006 at the same location. They played with Deep Purple in a 2 for 1 concert. DP were good but Quo eclipsed them with a slick professional performance demonstrating that they have lost nothing, except some hair, in 30 years.

[@ultrockexperience]

I was at that gig as well ‘ my ears are still ringing 🤟🤟🤟 I have a bootleg of the Newcastle show

[@keenids]

Unity, energy, a real band

[@johnnybgoode2007]

Love how when they're ripping it up, they're all in a circle.

[@surfingferdi]

they rock every generation the best part of the video are those guys in the beginning that punch the mic in the face of the singer and then fell of the stage

[@impact1]

Its the easy way out for all concerned to be stubborn and not to reunite. It says a lot more about your character if you are willing to set your stubborness aside and to give at the least the people /fans that made you a multi millionaire what they would love to see: the frantic four ,with andy bown of course also there, reunited. Greatest band ever by the way. A unique sound. No match on these guys.

[@alanstrom2221]

The original line-up included ROY LYNES on Keyboards from 1965 - 1970 Roy Alan Lynes (born 25 October 1943, Redhill, Surrey)[1] was the keyboardist and occasional singer with Status Quo (originally The Spectres then Traffic Jam). He joined the band in 1964/1965, two years after its foundation. He appeared on Quo's first three albums - Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Status Quo, Spare Parts and Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon - and wrote "To Be Free",[5] the b-side of the second Quo single, "Black Veils of Melancholy".[6][7] The track "Umleitung" was a co-composition with bassist Alan Lancaster, but was not released until the first album after Lynes' departure, 1971's Dog of Two Head. Lynes left the band in 1970. Always check the facts before entering comments on You Tube. Vale Alan " Nuff " Lancaster

[@AXMAM]

this is the real quo that i cant get enough of still be at wembely xmas though find another live band to make you go home feeling half your age plus (-:

[@DeeDonner]

These guys hit the States hard and often in 1975-1977 - great shows! Then - poof- nothing

[@alunpalmer7337]

They never sold very many records in the US, whereas I read somewhere that they sold 28 million albums back home in England. It was hilarious when Geldof picked them to open Live Aid. The US DJ was deeply embarassed not to have previously heard any band who were that good.

[@jaydip02]

hey same here every Dec i am there !!! love the band to death i had forth row tickets last Dec the 14th , what a band eh !!!! keep on rockin

[@TheJetfighter666]

Dog of Two Head to- Rockin' All Over The World is Quo at their best.. After that it's hit or miss, mostly miss!

[@namaste929]

j adore les 70th

[@cc75frenchygirl]

Status Quo is the best! Every year I got to see them in Wembley Arena. wish i could every month! ;P i want to get front row seats, and i think they should make a contest and the person who wins gets 2 front row seats. who was the guy that got thrown of stage in the beginning?

[@wullieready]

JUST CLASS' IM FAMOUS AND DIPPED INTO THE DARKSIDE OF ROCK OTHERWISE ID SING IN CHURCH. LOVE IT.GOD WONT KILL US FOR LOVING OUR MUSIC. WHAT MAKES US HAPPY IS THE MAIN THING THATS IT

[@fubwat]

aww bless, Snuff was in 2 minds as to whether to restart the song or play a drum solo on the head of the guy who moved the mic with his bass

[@gastonsayago5342]

que bueno que Volvio Alan Lancaster!!!!

[@squeakyadam]

classic quo - for all the criticism - three chords etc - noone can sound like that

[@craggers]

Got it on vinyl already ;)

[@Urankar3]

AWESOME!!!!

[@deco6291]

Fucking best band ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@wkdwoman]

excellent vintage quo

[@rizzlaxl]

you rock !

[@streatleyred]

@jaffax1 2 right mate.. this is the real quo.. not the girl band that they. call quo 2 day

[@nino910]

Well, then save the date: March '13, the original Line Up back together for some touring and probably a new album!

[@godfreys4321]

top quality guitar boogie

[@AnthonyJ69]

Yes indeed - THAT'S why I learned to play guitar....!

[@hibeeOz]

Classic line up....classic sound Todays Quo still going but sound has become cabaret quo They need another On The Level after last effort Heavy Traffic was 7/10

[@VamboMarbleye1956]

love it how the other three don't but an eye when lancaster gets the mic knoed down .

[@johnnybgoode2007]

Parfitt and Rossi headbanging in sync looks extra cool.

[@jessedan2]

what a party band

[@craggers]

@PurpleInTheDeep Have to say, it's well documented and admitted by the guys themselves, Quo were HEAVILY into drugs from the early 70's onwards. Weed till '75, speed from '76 then coke massively from the late 70's till the very early 90's. Weed and Speed bought about their best music lol.

[@GuitarGuy5000000000]

@changethismf That must have been something to have seen them on American Soil. Wish they'd come to this side of the pond again one day!

[@mainmanmuso]

nice to see a the headbanging!

[@robert321ish]

brilliant

[@45Seabee]

R-O-C-K-I-N !!!!!!!!

[@nwjh1957]

Col Joye once went after a guy on stage with his guitar, and as it was solid wood and an old one, it would have brained him if he'd connected! Alan lives in Sydney these days, BTW.

[@kestaspiepalius6410]

super

[@zonnyzunny]

A time when Francis played with feel rather than nowadays where he overbends the strings. Shouldn't have changed the pick ups on his Telecaster. Brilliant player in his heyday.

[@dennism5731]

Beyond great - by far the best rock and roll band in the land until Spud had enough of the drugs Rossi and Parfitt were on.

[@ChristiaanHarkink]

This is definatly good shit

[@notlobian4ever]

Surely at worst it'd be that they did this 20 years ago (actually 35) and now they sound similar after so much time? You no like? You don't watch. :D

[@TheJosephandrea]

Grandissimo Alan Lancaster.

[@12quo]

@DanishThrasher Yeah, the definatly did, I've read their autobio. But the Stones were probably hooked on it for most their lives. Its just really tradition, not a good one, but I don't really care, as long as their brillant like Quo and The Stones.

[@HampshireHog63]

Wonder what Alan said to that fan?

[@MrPoorboy1958]

@bunniman1908 spot on bunniman!!! Maybe some Rose Tattoo?? Something to mull over - Quo and Acca Dacca (circa Bon) doin a 'duet'. Shit, I wonder how 'Baby, Please Don't Go' would have sounded?? Woulda been a smash I reckon!!

[@bagueroso]

DYNAMITE!!

[@omarlanderos0]

como se extraña a alan lancaster el grupo cambio desde su salida

[@ianinvancouverbc]

wasn't that Les Battersby jumping up on stage ?

[@TheTomppa72]

@btj1960 Yeah, that's the best version ever....after Stones '72 version ...D

[@Freakster1970]

Was that Bob Young that got a sore head at the start? ;)

[@5103jerry]

them boys is bad!

[@paranoidnutter]

saw them pub south london, black prince bexley, about 72, they were great, about 150 people, they blew the roof off, never a band for big stadiums in my view, everyone to their own, after about 78 they got boring

[@peterkawasaki5263]

They were cracking then

[@desann44]

c'est une sorte de reprise de Johnny be good mémé riff même solo^^

[@kaschak75]

Putisimisima Rock N Roll.....

[@ktgotham]

haha status quo with hair takes some getting used to

[@itopcho]

aint this Johny B Goode?

[@nikolayyanev9148]

That is Chuck Berry's song called Bye Bye Johnny and yes it is about Johny Be Goode

[@oldaxeman]

Nice and heavy, but why not listen to ex Quo drummer Pete Kircher singing this song in 1964 with his then band, 'Neil Landon and the Burnettes'

[@harleyrrab]

Quo were better in the early days,with Lancaster and coghlan .

[@MrJonesy001]

What are you all talking about!!? get with it!!

[@ChristiaanHarkink]

lol beginning

[@Baboonass]

@btj1960 HAHAHA! Well said! :D

[@rizzlaxl]

man what a hassel those guitar cords used to be.

[@kooodeal]

Guitar hero stuff ..

[@streatleyred]

@MrFulhamDan the real quo died 84.. there a pop band now,, not a rock an roll band

[@5103jerry]

that look like limmee on drums

[@SteveAmplifire]

I loved Quo back in the day but come pretend that all this is real - listen to the bass from say 3:05 - its over-dubbed and it is in the wrong key. Now that's wrong!! If you are going to over-dub a live recording you have all the time in the world to get it right and don't forget that Quo were relegated to support band on Slade tours - now there was a band that could rrrrrrrrrawk & rrrrrrrroll!!!!

[@dioXxXtyler]

lol there fighting those two guys in the begging

[@thanosvakaloudis2137]

RNR...

[@theslice2]

@DougPatton1 Slicey ? slicey ? thats no good..... its a bit like putting a y on the end of Idiot..... see what I mean I take it you mean that Pictures of etc is a good example of how Quo simply do not rock...... well I saw them live last year and there was a lot of people there that would disagree with you.... I personally think their music turned to shit around 1975 but for old fellas they still rock in a light hearted zimmer framey sort of way

[@gnerco]

Saw them 3 times in their original lineup - Alan always underated as singer - but clearly as good as Francis.......................Not arf.

[@StewartNicolasBILLYCONNOLLY]

So...what's the problem with that? Quo found what they were best at and stuck with it! where's the problem in that?

[@theslice2]

@DougPatton1 and your about as funny as a dose of the clap

[@sapparro]

i agree i saw him spank a bloke at southend on sea who got on stage he never got back up there

[@FryskeRocker]

i must be a real stupid person, i always taught it was rick singing this song, Instead it's Lancaster.. damn :p

[@fishypaw]

... and a few nasal membranes, lol ;OP

[@GinsbergK]

You forgot Alcohol. Cheers.

[@Syze1]

Quo were fucked up by the direction Francis wanted to go in........his need for "speed" and anything else white and his love of country music. Rick didn't have too much input into the split, He was devastated when Francis wanted to call it a day in 84. Drummers come and go as do bass players and the sound of the band rarely changes to be honest. Anyone think AC/DC sounded shit with Simon Wright on drums instead of Phil Rudd?.....No is the answer. Change the singer and it's a different ball game

[@anathoros]

drummer looks like lemmy
