The Frantic Four In My Chair

Francis Rossi, Alan Lanchaster, John Coghlan, Rick parfitt. The Frantic Four Status Quo First Members Playing Again

[@alanstrom2221]

ALAN CHARLES LANCASTER otherwise known as NUFF, has passed away in Sydney, his home for 45 years. The founding member and the backbone of STATUS QUO had been suffering from Multiple Sclerosis for many years. Alan battled on bravely, performing at QUO's Reunion gigs in 2013 and 2014. Even though he had MS, Alan's performance and his vocals were the strongest of the three. My favourite member of QUO is Alan Lancaster. I had the pleasure of having a beer and a smoke with Alan at a Sydney pub gig, in Five Dock, when he had The Lancaster Bombers and The Lancaster/Brewster Bands in the late 80's. We had a longer chat at The Lewisham Hotel as well. These were dirty, grungy hotels, though this didn't phase the great man of the people. Alan was the most beautifil man, very humble, down to earth and a great guy to talk with and have a laugh. Vale Alan ( Nuff ) Lancaster RIP mate, you were one of the greatest Rockers of all time.

danke sehr

What a fantastic and beautiful experience. Yes. He was a genuine man. I only met him briefly once when I waited outside the motel the guys were staying at in Adelaide in the 70’s . Genuine & friendly. 🙏👍🏻

[@jamesb1647]

This is how Status Quo was, has been again and always should be! The chemistry on stage, the sound - it’s roots, it’s origins it’s home!

[@BassGuitarInstrumental]

Fantastic that they got it together before it was too late - makes me smile to see it everytime.

[@ideyboo]

And me, by far the original and the best line up. Top British boogie band, the Yanks didn't understand a good time. My favourite Quo track too, well pleased they included it in the reunion tour.

[@colinrgage]

For those who forgot or didn't realise yes the Quo were once this fuckin good

[@nuuky]

Now thats the real Quo .

[@Wayland444]

This is brilliant. After falling out and not speaking to each other for years they were assembled for this documentary for one last time. RIP Rick.

[@micknordstrom2591]

John is an amazing drummer!

[@alanstrom2221]

Some people may already know that John is Left-Handed and plays Drums Right-handed He is a Swing/Shuffle Drummer and very few people can incorporate this into a Hard Rock Band's music.

[@metafis]

Spot on, amazing, suddenly the old quo sound....after all this time...I can die happy now :)

[@metafis]

omg, they sound like they did when they first recorded this song...wonderful..thanks

[@gitbas]

I'm a (early) Quo fan since 1970 and this is real magic to watch! Great to see Alan and John again. It sounds fantastic and look at the smiles on their faces! Good luck guy's with the coming tour, I will be there!

[@cdfgaz]

The best rock band EVER! Love them to bits

[@ryanwakley1640]

Bahaha!

[@wilfriedneumann9637]

Ich auch

[@williamwallace5857]

Don't exaggerate.

[@mikehunt7693]

I was there...the real Quo for the very last time [Manchester]....treasured memories.

[@CaroleRogersCSL]

Beautiful seeing the lads together. So glad they did this.

[@Rockingsue]

I've been a loyal Status Quo Fan since 1975. Every Day I wish Rick and Alan would come back from Heaven to make great Rock with their Bandmembers again!

[@matty2457]

So sad Rick and Alan now gone. RIP

One of my favourites, love the lyrics

[@julieglover6484]

Rest in peace Alan Lancaster 💔 xxx

[@jlennon48]

[@stevekenney2804]

First single i ever bought.

[@sail1948]

The greatest rock band to come out of the UK...Ever!!!!

[@kevingeorge4573]

The magic of the 4 of them together, fab! .....

[@paulmichaelconnell495]

RIP Alan Lancaster

[@pariscortez3020]

Status Quo - the greatest band ever! Rick Parfitt the Legend of Status Quo! RIP

[@gerardvanleeuwen9456]

Sounds wonderfull, so lucky to be at their 2013 reunion tour !!

[@renault160]

come on guys this is just the best

[@sidscrote7570]

First record i ever bought, memories or what !!

[@kieranhyre6773]

my teeth where laughing now we couldn't stop smiling ☺

[@mehfeld]

Ich kann das noch gar nicht glauben...einfach nur Geil...Die alte Truppe....das erste mal live gesehen 1978n in Hannover Eilenridenhalle..........es war Klasse

[@jhstudio64]

Very best version ever.

[@mutterschied]

Watering mouth! Boy oh boy! The damnedest, purest, steadiest and most faithfull rock band: The UNMISTAKABLE ones!!

[@sidscrote2006]

Oh! memories, first record I ever bought.

[@oliversowden4999]

Bring a tear to a glass eye this

[@tonybambrough1543]

When you look at Alan Lancaster he looks ancient, but I still rate him as one of the best Bass guitarists I've ever heard, and he sings vocals on Roadhouse Blues which is brilliant

[@swinetrek]

He suffers from MS. He did a great job.

[@7colliemac]

.. & Backwater..

[@stephenanstee695]

I'm glad the four of them had one last hurrah before it was too late, however old differences resurfaced which was a shame. Rossi looks so uncomfortable in this. RIP Rick

[@malcolmcooke5561]

Saw them around 10 times at Newcastle City Hall, from 72 to 82..brilliant always.

[@alandonkin]

That was great. When I saw them back in 1973, Alan Lancaster had long, black hair, a biker jacket and he looked like the kind of guy whose bike you didn't want to knock over! This clip is smashing. They all look like they are still having fun with it.

[@swinetrek]

LOL! He's 5'3" and a lovely guy to chat to.

[@alandonkin]

@@swinetrek I can believe it. In these clips he comes across like yer favourite eccentric uncle! He looks like he is really enjoying himself.

[@barnabarinludocratique6262]

Alan's hairs never been black.

[@charcoal1962]

Ahhhh, what can you say, just fantastic - to see as well as hear. Roll on the tour!!

[@kenabell4978]

This is how this band was great, not playing that crap they ended up doing!

[@desmondbuckley5341]

The real quo Rick Parfitt looked so happy

[@michelineforestas2958]

Super ,une que j'aime beaucoup ,avec le groupe au complet ❤❤❤

[@beanolabub]

Awesome rhythm section! Awesome Quo.

[@pinanti]

This is very cool, the real thing

[@kelvinmarshall9108]

Love looking at the practice sessions ..

[@lousysound]

the love of my life....the quo...super clips...thanks for sharing xx

[@mrwoodpecker44]

The one, the only, the original, THE BEST!!!!

[@richardgrant3099]

takes me back to the glasgow apollo when they recorded the live double album with the stones mobile recording unit up the lane they were so loud then and were the loudest band to ever play the apollo that was first time i ever went to see them

[@MrHammoreds]

+Richard Grant If you were there, I envy you. The live album is a heavy rock classic. Sadly, probably the last classic that they made.

[@peterlyall5126]

I got the double live album that came out in 1976..What I wanted to know is if you can tell me Who's voice that can heard yelling out "Would you welcome the magnifcent Staaatus Quooooo" ok some thing like that..Just wanted to know thats all>

[@barriejackson965]

Peter Lyall + I believe the announcement is by Jackie Lynton, I'm not sure what his connection with the Quo is,I've always wondered. On KZbin somewhere he sings a slow version of "Caroline".

[@robertmiddlemiss6807]

@@barriejackson965 He went on to write Rockers Rollin' with Rick for the next album as well.

[@mrcrazyjonpresents4312]

RIP Alan Lancaster Another light goes out of the fantastic four

[@PatrickBorgAuteurCompositeur]

....StatusQuo les vrais, c'est super bon, bravooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AFCDONUNDER]

It's amazing how Alan and John have instantly brought the best out of Rick and Francis........ Bloody Fantastic........ (Rhino.... listen and learn.....)

[@swinetrek]

They were crap without them.

[@kimmohamalainen3390]

The best rock'n roll band ever !!!!

[@ruiseartalcorn]

Awesome!!! :)

[@boxerdog4581]

[@pernillan2737]

[@loredanamazzoni3231]

Super star!!!!

[@oldcar555]

Fantastic

[@garetheves7118]

In my chair the song that got into Quo in the 70s loved the bluesy feel to it

[@florianstark4991]

One of the best rock n´roll band ever!!!

[@plasticbob556]

Great tune great band rogue mouse

[@wingchun-simplekungfu7584]

Bit of history worth saving for ever

[@stevekenney2804]

First record I ever bought. January 1971.

[@stevemann3080]

HAD TO WATCH IT THRICE ... 🎧🎧🎧 🤘🤘🤘

[@kas29015]

I saw them first time just after picture of marchstick men, in the days of the best line up, saw them a few times, met john, francis and ricky at the roundhouse, london, they were so lovely, i preferred it in those days with that line up, seen them since with the last line up before rick had to leave

[@tonywright8294]

Rock in peace

[@billmoffat5576]

Best track they ever did bar none

[@EndTimes1967two]

Thank You....

[@paulfitz5465]

aah!!what can you say?lovely slow hand hard blues!!don't do it like that anymore!!Wonderful stuff!!

[@johngibb4779]

Great

[@kaiulrich6185]

R.I.P. Rick and Allan. When I was a kid, I made myself a guitar out of cardboard, and all I wanted was to be the rhythm guitar player in Status Quo.

[@MrTrueblue1873]

saw them do this at the Glasgow Apollo.....pure brill.... the real quo....

[@forextc]

Having seen these guys live a few times, the closer they play to 'back in the day' be it set list or personnel, the better they are. Awesome!

[@derekinamerica]

considering its just a jam session they really are very good,..I hope the whole event is recorded including the rehearsals, history in the making. The simpler sound is the only way to listen to Quo, 3 guitars and a drummer!! I have not bought a studio Album of Quo since 'on the level' way back when, always going for the live concert stuff since them......this is raw Quo!....massive thumbs up!!!!

[@luchoterron3738]

GOOD BYE ALAN LANCASTER...LEGEND 🇲🇽

[@45ltr]

its all in the knowing that it is THE frantic 4 that are playing

[@drrock57]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this line up!!! Just to see them back together for this is gr8, today's line up is gr8 too, I think the new and old line up should something now that would be tucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[@garfield2279]

TOOOOOOOOOOOOO fuckin right geeeez,im back at Hammersmith for the first time in 20 years to see THE Quo.Ive been counting the days since i got the tickets.

[@Keepingitrespectfulmostly.]

For me, you only get the best of Quo with the frantic four.

[@45ltr]

[@Lloyd1885]

Nuff, you have never been away mate..but welcome home.

[@nigel190263]

[@killerincognito]

[@gailal]

Nice raw veraion !

[@bettywhite3254]

now thats a band

[@johnforster9631]

Quo at there best😁

[@jasonl5967]

Francis didn't want to rejoin up with Alan and John, but Rick talked him around and he agreed to take part, Francis and Rick went on TV to do a interview which was quite comical in a way because when Francis was talking Rick sat there and showed a interest and listened, when it was Rick's turn, Francis turned his head away and sat there like he wanted to go, as soon as the interview was over, they went in to separate dressing rooms and left the building through separate doors. they didn't speak to each other after the interview that day.

[@leiper72]

Still doing a second year of that reunion in 2014.. so it had to be sometihong, and then failing... Alan and Rossi is no good together anymore..

[@russebert5230]

Crap absolute crap

[@pauljones9061]

😢Rick' had no sway over the reunion, Rossi hated it. All down to the management.

[@basklein1965]

And I like it, I like it ..........lalalalala

[@nigelbassett1338]

Thank god people recognise the real quo instead of their now modern crap

[@ColtraneTaylor]

Somehow the very sight of that bass player makes me angry.

Oh dear!

[@kevansimister3967]

Agree although there was no real bonding but far to often someone drops off steps
