Status Quo - Little Blue Eyed Lady

Another classic from The Frantic Four. Rick Parfitt is some boy on that guitar.

[@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 ❤

[@user-rm9pz4nu8f]

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!

[@bettybarr9504]

Mesmerising

[@wanderer1955]

The government should pass a law saying rock stars of this calibre are forbidden to get old.

[@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.

[@ZlatkoRadovic]

RIP ALAN and RICK You were great

[@richardhayward2899]

Err, yeah - that's just proper rock n roll! A fantastic performance, I absolutely love this.

[@regularnimnule9715]

I was lucky enough to see them in the late 70's and they were phenomenal live. Totally kicking asses here also. RIP Alan and Rick. In their prime they were peerless.

[@user-nn1nl1cs2b]

I lucky to see them play in a little village close to where I use to live. Got better and better

[@borderstorm1]

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.

Between 1970- 1976, whilst all the prog rock musos were looking down their noses, the Quo were just ripping it up and us proles loved it.

[@highdownmartin]

[@frans4136]

Four old men, and nobody can do it better.

[@petersund4914]

How does Alan keep up? - How does Rick hold on to the 100% correct rythem? Ans WHO really cares???

[@ep9421]

You forgot about the other old men still rocking. Think they are called "The Rolling Stones "

[@frans4136]

You're right. But in the first place I'm a Status Quo fan, although I like the Stones too.

[@denlistige9392]

Oh my god... This is pure rock and roll. Rest in peace Rick Parfitt. The best ever. Thank you.

[@erikpeirs9333]

That's the Quo like i remember, when i was young : Francis Rossi (founder), Alan Lancaster (founder), Rick Parfitt R.I.P., John Cochlan !

[@EmmaPeelman]

Coghlan

[@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]

Totally agree with this.

[@stephanspeckenbach2557]

Rossi, Parfitt, Lancaster and Coghlan. The one and only Status Quo!

[@dennism5731]

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.

[@valrenshaw2451]

Nothing has changed! They are brilliant when together. Am glad I saw them the Frantic Four. God bless you Rick xxx

[@andrewbuchinger2088]

Doesn't get better than this.... The original and definitely the best

[@garrygreen3210]

Rick ... legend on this. RIP, and thanks for the memories.

[@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!

[@kevinkelly4374]

[@bobgibb2781]

[@profmoriarty6697]

I was at one of the reunion concerts in 2013 in Manchester and again the following year and also the final one in Dublin in 2014. They were ferocious - and fantastic. By far their best line up and one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen.

[@alanstrom2221]

I must say, they do tighten up as they go. Great performance. My fave part is where Alan is watching Francis playing his Lead part. Awesome. Fave member has always been NUFF, do I need to explain why? I think it is obvious to a blind Bat. RIP Alan you were the Backbone of the Band.

I think you're right ! The latest version of Quo may well be competent musicians, but for sheer rock 'n roll sound there's nothing like the FF.

[@aussierhino471]

If that solo was anything to go by - yep! He ripped it.

[@shaunkelly9860]

He played better on the reunion tours than he has for 30 years. He can't be arsed half the time with panto Quo, it's going through the motions, with this band he HAD to play with some guts, or he would have been shown up. Horrible tone from those lace sensor pickups he put in the green Telecaster, but he certainly played better than normal.

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
