[@taslad5157]

Along with Free, Family, Tull and Atomic Rooster

[@DaveSuich]

This is Quo when they were cooool

[@FedericoDLP]

I had totally forgotten this song. It's good.

[@jamescourt4703]

One of the finest rock n blues band of our generation. This band always deliver, never dissapoint

[@kevinmoore7255]

Have heard this one in a while, pure gold Quo!

[@terryblackman6217]

Absolutely fantastic. Real music.

[@alanbloomy]

Francis Rossi the most underrated guitarist ever

[@QuoPaperPlane]

It's that 'underated' thing again. It is what it is😖

[@FrozenHero2010]

​@@QuoPaperPlaneIf you find out, please do share with me. I've been trying to find out what it is, too.

[@peterfritzsche220]

in that time I started to listen to Rockmusic .....fantastic memories !

[@mick62mick]

Always the greatest band ever!!

[@davidprice7162]

They’re middling to OK, but not even Status Quo think Status Quo are the greatest band ever.

[@stevekenney2804]

First record i bought. Early '71. Seems 3 weeks ago.

[@oldcrow-iw3kc]

Saw Quo supporting Hawkwind in 71 . Brought ""Dog of two head and" ln search of space" the next day . Great music and bands around in the early 70's .

[@aldo5428]

B side Gerdundula awesome track also, so grateful to have been around in the sixties and seventies, in the charts around the same time Voodoo Chile, Black Night, Woodstock, Ride a White Swan, I Hear You Knocking, Whole Lotta Love, Paranoid, When I’m Dead and Gone, happy days never see their like again 😢✌️🤘…

[@dazzlingdavedainty]

I like your thinking. Couldn't agree more.love Gerundula az well...mean girl is a great track from the quo as well

[@DaveSuich]

Hey this is when The Quo were really cooool

[@robertmac9057]

There was certainly lots of great rock songs getting in the UK charts in 1970, All Right Now, Love Like a Man and The Witch's Promise as well.

[@aldo5428]

@ you’re right Robert, we were spoiled and was lucky to see Free, TYA and Tull as well as many others live in Greens in Glasgow, fantastic venue for gigs, great memories..

[@robertmac9057]

@@aldo5428 Absolutely, the British rock scene was on fire in the late 60s and into the 70s, so many great bands.

[@flammaferus2998]

Cool young Status Quo.

[@raymondnijenhuis4124]

Live vocals on Top of The Pops; how cool is that!

[@michaelgaskell7408]

I bought this single on release,and always thought it one of their best,(great B-side too.) Still have it, been played a thousand times and still in pristine condition,also in picture sleeve.As I've said,one of their best.

[@timetraveller9321]

I was only 5 ,rocking all over the world, well in the living room with my action man, general Custer figurine, my stingray model, and the man from uncle radio set, great days I really, genuinely, deeply, sadly miss, the world seemed a better place, the 60,s, 70,s and 80,s were the best music years, so many super groups from the Beatles, the searchers, black sabbath, deep purple, quo, the sweet, sparks even abba, where did it all go wrong, oh yeah, rap and house music, and techno, ruined the following years for me utter garbage, it’s funny, we can sing along and whistle along to these songs from 50 plus years ago yet I cannot name any decent music to sing a long to after this time period, loved the up,old, please can we have some more? Many thanks for your time and effort all the best from Norman in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@mrmr314]

I actually watched Alan Lancaster dozens of times in Sydney when he was with the Party Boys, and I didn't even know he was the famous Status Quo bassist! What an idiot. SQ were the first band I saw live. At the Hordern Pavilion when I was a kid.

[@stephensmith4480]

Yep Quo were also my first live band, at The Liverpool Empire. Seems like it was only yesterday 🎸🎸

[@rogersmith4983]

I saw them at the palace in St Kilda early 2000,s

[@IanGee-007]

How could you not know he was one of the Quo originals? 😄

[@ivanrainbird2416]

this is actually a very good piece of boogie rossi voice is amazing and laid back

[@michaelboyle5563]

Still got the original single in the loft, at that time Quo were a seriously classy blues rock band, they were in the ring with Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac and Canned Heat. Francis Rossi sounds like a blues singer on this and many of the songs on Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon and the brilliant Dog Of Two Head. Brilliant live band as well.

[@Tawny6702]

Never been much of Quo fan but this is pretty cool!

[@terrydonegan1622]

Great drumming technique

[@nigelhaines7900]

And he smiles haha

[@williamfindlay8831]

Coolest drummer EVER

[@daniel-m]

Et Francis Rossi avait déjà sa télécaster repeinte chaque année avec du vernis pour clôture de jardin ... anglais :o) Merci de partager cela !

[@melmortimer1545]

Great track ..I luv it ..❤.. Melanie 35....

[@firstlast5350]

Neat bit of 12 bar.

[@WayneChurch-we5bd]

My first time hearing this. The only song I knew them for was Matchstick Men.

Легендарная банда. 👊

[@kelvinjohnwaltho]

facial fuzz quo ive never seen all 4 of them with facial fuzz god knows how but i missed this period!!!!!!!!!

[@wingchun-simplekungfu7584]

Despite being a mime , it’s still a classic 😊

[@lukasmarzell5598]

I think they played it live, the cables were for decoration? Nope, if you listen to the original its like stuck slow, this here is faster, more power and live vocals, Status quo always were a more live than miming band. Great song, their early heavy boogie stuff, best time.

[@fredsshed266]

The drums are certainly not live. The fills and crashes at the end are not played

[@michaelsandford1015]

Classic

[@davidprice7162]

He’s by no means a great singer, he doesn’t have a powerful or distinctive voice, or a great range or anything. But there’s just some about his singing that WORKS on this song.

[@biffabacon1203]

From psychedelic to blues then 3 chord rock ..guess they eventually found the money pot I'm not Quo fan but i do enjoy some of their music.

[@alfching2499]

Red Lion Leytonstone Friday Nights,Anyone remember when these appeared there as they was here

Abgefilmt, dadurch gespiegelt.

[@steventhomas4642]

Its not live and its not Top of the pops,still good though 😊

[@jayrox40]

Wrong! It is top of the pops, the clip was re used for a foreign pop show, this is how many wiped totp performances survive.

[@steventhomas4642]

Fair enough😊​@@jayrox40

[@wataboutya9310]

That was great!

[@philipbrougham6360]

​@@jayrox40BBC thought they would save some pennies re using tape ,now have to pay to get back copies they sent to other countries who kept theirs ....just like the original Doctor Who episodes ..

[@billkingston4402]

It's not the studio version, so they recorded the song for the program, but wait for it, they mine to the re re recording

[@DaveSuich]

My newest comment is not in new huh?

[@michaelsandford1015]

I don't like when they mine

[@steevenfrost]

Not Top OF The Pops🤔🤔🤔.Good song though.

[@colin-carolmitch1817]

Was Rossi stoned, look at those mince pies.

[@davidglow3]

He was a serious Coke addict at this time.

[@colinmitchell9212]

Not that early, 70's it was weed, booze and the odd of hit of speed, coke (toot) was very 80's.

[@forestdad]

Does it matter?

[@rockerrob61]

He does say in the song, his mince pies were half open. 😁

They’re not that out of it they all have freshly washed hair 😂
