Status Quo - Little Blue Eyed Lady

Yes sane with me.

[@philiphaley5414]

51 tears later. STILL my favourite Quo song, Rossi's best solo work, Nuff's booming bass, Rick in real rock mode, and Spud well away.

[@CB-xr1eg]

Brilliant solo, I keep going back just to listen to the solo!

[@jean-yvesguiot9615]

For me too ! Great song ! So pleasant to see them again (Alan and John back). Emotion l !

[@spritbong5285]

The real deal not Panto Quo.

[@Lemmy62Fin]

Finally we got to hear how this song and its manificient solo goes till the end. In the album Hello it faded away. And this is a masterclass example how a rhythmguitar and a sologuitar work together and the engine room (bass and drums) makes a solid living fundament. My all time favorite Quo song.

[@spritbong5285]

What ! you can hear the Bass and Drums ! Oh I, it's Quo, not Rossi's piss take.

[@philipwoolley698]

Name me another band that are as together as this. Amazing live performance the like of which we'll never see again. Long live the real Status Quo ❤

FFS Quo killing it like the old days. How anyone can say the post 1980 stuff is better is beyond me. No one could live with the Frantic Four from 1970 to 78. So glad they saw sense and did the reunion tours - got to take my boy to see the best live band that ever took to a stage.

[@sheilaburrowes9081]

You're fighting a strawman. Nobody has ever said that they made better music after the FF but plenty of people have said that they still made good music after the FF, which is true.

[@johanstaelens5194]

The glorious Blues & Rock of the 60's, 70's will NEVER be beaten for every genre of music. Those of us who lived it knew it was a special era.

[@AndrewMoseley-h1n]

Totally kick ass song

[@deanf6573]

It doesn’t get better than that. Quo, the proper Quo, clicked spectacularly in that performance, producing the most splendid sound that modern Quo cannot come close to. Music is about soul, feeling. This is demonstrated quite clearly here. This is the Status Quo that are nigh on untouchable when live.

[@Andy-hb8kl]

Spot on.

[@richardhayward2899]

In my humble opinion this is the finest rock and roll song I have ever heard live. Four old- timers showing how to do it. Perfection! Thank God Rick was still here to really enhance it.

[@henryoosthui3495]

Rossi is the best ever

[@PhilipLawson-w1f]

I can't get enough of that sweet spot at 2:23 when the band explodes from the song structure into the solo and you can hear them all going hell for leather. The mighty Quo at their most breathtaking. This guitar solo alone puts Rossi up there with the greatest. Sublime!

[@Foxswoop]

Now this is how rock'n'roll should be played. No frills, just a tight driving backbeat and some sensational guitar work. Can someone please show this to all the wannabes out there who claim they are rock??????

[@ideyboo]

Absobloodylutely right. The best, tightest boogie woogie rock outfit there's ever been and the best line up too, Quo as they should be. Mr Rossi has his faults and internal feuds and politics fucked up a fantastic band which has never been surpassed but.....he is one hell of a guitar player!

And that should be how Quo should be, if I was any other member of the plastic quo I’d take a big breath, look in the mirror and say “ nah I can’t compete with that “ after the frantic four everything else is a karaoke / tribute band fed by Rossi’s massive ego, come on Quo fans deep inside you know it’s the truth putting aside your loyalty, there’s no escaping reality, there was, is, and always will be ONE STATUS QUO.

Ricky J .P. belated deepest sympathy on the loss of pa pa Ricky, I hope the twins are are coping ok as they are growing up. I was 11 years old in 1968 when I followed the quo and no other band interested me at all, I think it was ricky's shear drive and determination coming through his playing that encapsulated the sound thrown forward by quo. I was very fortunate I was a DJ in the late seventies I had a promo copy three weeks before release of what ever you want and when I played it for the first time and heard Ricky's intro I was blown away and to this day that intro always brings tears to my eyes when I ever hear it. It's just ageless, I am so so thankful I have years of happy memories of Ricky and honoured to have been able to promote qou's singles and albums up to 1980. I go to see John couglan's quo when ever I can when they are up in North Wales. Best wishes to you and the family J. P. Thoughts with you all at Christmas. Mike xx
