Status Quo-Caroline [New Sound](Hammersmith 29/03/14)

[@12barmac]

I reckon that's the greatest recording of Caroline live I have ever heard........... and I was there that day......... AWESOME........ Frantic Four...........

[@ep9421]

You can't beat the Quo live album from the 70's. That's one hell of an album

[@joe22589]

The proper drumming of John Coghlan really makes the difference to all other line-ups since 1981

[@youbfit2]

Dont forget the other half on the bass!

[@eddieingalls534]

As a kid I did always think Parfitt and Rossi were Quo. But as you age, your realise it was Coghlan and Lancaster who were the soul of the band.

[@joe22589]

@@eddieingalls534 they were a proper touring band and all 4 members had their equal share.

[@eduardoAlvarez-rf6tr]

I think the difference is Alan, sounds better with him.

[@uffestalhandske89]

He is the drummer.. n

[@RonMcKenzie-bw7iq]

Awesome. Look at Rick's bridge on the F chord at 1:01. His hand must have been huge. Further up the fretboard the bridge is obviously narrower but the song which is the key of F takes a heck of a lot of flexibility and stretching because he goes up to Bb and C without breaking stride. And then back down to F which is the widest part of the neck of a guitar. The reason why a lot of guitarist beginning guitar try to avoid the key of F if possible. Speaking from experience for over 50 years in bands in London and Scotland. And it takes me all my time to truly trying to emulate Rick's virtuosity. What a monster. Awesome. RIP Rick. Sadly missed. Francis Rossi also has that natural bridge but he takes the solo parts allowing him to drop out of the driving rhythm force which Rick provides all the way through. Never lets up.

[@swanman1984.]

Best quo the 4 originals, glad they got back together before we lost rick and alan

[@anthoniodegravio3525]

These rock veterans are awesome! They are even better than in the early seventies! This is the real Quo! Where have you been all the years? Keep on rockin !

[@ep9421]

No way, saw the original 4 plus Andy Bown and Bob Young numerous times in the 70's and they were the greatest live band

[@papadehmer1893]

I just found these guys and i am loving it real rock an roll!!!

[@dennism5731]

I don’t know anything about the technicalities of singing, drumming, base or guitar, but fuck me, when this lineup play who needs to. Heavy Quo, the only Quo.

[@mariosurin]

Ich hätte nie geglaubt dass die Status Quo noch mal zu meinen Star's würden in meinem Alter von 72 Jahren . Hier unter den Palmen in Thailand in einem kleinen schönem Haus in Frieden mit der Welt zu leben und solche Musik rein ziehen ........ was gibt es schöneres !

[@impact1]

Best intro of a rock song ever. Rick's talent is unmatched. By far the best ever UK rock band. The Frantic Four. The one and only true QUO line up. Period. The magic they produce(d) on stage. Nothing comes even close.

[@ryanwakley1640]

If you think they're the best UK band, you really do need to listen to more bands

[@branners_s]

@@ryanwakley1640 there’s no denying they are the best Uk rock band…..when the guitarist of Judas Priest comes out and says Quo were next level and impossible to come close during there prime it speaks for itself

[@ryanwakley1640]

@@branners_s it's "their" not "there", so one man's opinion takes precedent over record sales, longevity, tours, quality songs, everything. Quo's most famous song is a cover, what does that tell you about the rest of their output

[@branners_s]

@@ryanwakley1640 no one cares…you clearly don’t know much about the band. There most famous song is Down Down which charted No.1 as for longevity sales and all that jazz Quo pretty much takes the cake for it. They have had over 60 chart hits in the UK, more than any other rock band 22 of which hit top 10 they’ve appeared on TOTP more times than any band releasing over 100 singles and 33 albums many best sellers and having 25 top 10 UK albums including Backbone. Not to mention opening Live Aid. As you have said it’s opinion but fact is Quo are and were giants in the industry and have proven it time and time again! Need I go on though

[@ryanwakley1640]

@@branners_s it's their! Most of THEIR success has been over here, on the international stage, many people will name more successful therefore better bands than them, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Maiden, Beatles, Stones, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest have had considerable more impact, Quo are/were great but there have been better bands, need I go on

[@kevinjames7012]

amen to that. This is QUO. Any other line up is just BS. The drummin g of John. The voice of Alan. The frantic Four are unmatched. Absolutely fucking brilliant rock band. Nothing comes close.

[@johanstaelens5194]

Far out ! Quo with balls !

[@carlwill981]

I first saw Quo in the 90's when I was a teenager and would listen mainly to their 70's album's. I saw them in concert about 30 times before this but I was now going to see QUO and I was not disappointed

[@pizza300]

Great band.....the only real Quo. Rock&roll forever.

[@brendanjones528]

Undoubtedly the best Quo there ever was. The current version is, and it sucks to say it, Quo-lite, or almost a cover band. This here is the real deal. Rockin Rick Parfitt, Francis, Alan Lancaster and the Spud John Coghlan. So glad they did this, damn shame the shows never made it to Australian shores, i would have loved to have been there, I've been listening to them since i was 7, I'm now 40. In my opinion, the best Quo was from 1970 to 1981....and if i was to be even more of a critic I'd narrow it down to 72 to 76. Miss you Rick 🤘🎸

[@micawber0245]
