The Alan story: there is much more behind than these two sentences....Andrew Bown knows that very well!! It was a sad part of the Quo history - latest when Alan was kicked out, the band was over! After that: it was a SQ tribute band in many ways - e.g. personal changes etc - the gold dust has flown away....it was over and out - partly embarrassing!
Some of the albums written after Alan Lancaster left were just embarrassing pop songs. Interesting statistic: Quo had 21 top 10 singles. 17 of them were with Alan Lancaster in the band, and only 4 after Alan left the band (and 3 of them were cover songs). That says it all. Quo were never the same again (apart from the Frantic Four reunion).
@@andyhinds542 There was What You're Proposing in 1982 (great song) just before John Coghlan left, but you're right, the pop music was beginning to set in during the 80's.
@@andyhinds5422 good albums , Just Supposin and Never too Late, after John left lukewarm 1982 and Back to Back ,good singles , filler album tracks ! After that bloody hell , tribute band to be honest, all the Anniversary Waltz stuff is embarrassing!
I think I may have bought this on iTunes . Status Quo Live released in 2013. Tracks recorded at the Horden pavilion in Melbourne from the mid 1970’s . I’m sure there’s many others .
@@wingchun-simplekungfu7584 Apparently is got a real deep 'crunching' sound to Ricks guitar...when I first read about it in the old music papers, the writer said something like 'obviously I cant tell you where I got it, but that reminds me, I must pay Camden market a visit again soon'....that'll do me!...over to Camden Market I went!!..first stall I went to a guy down the end of it called over and asked me what I was after I called back 'you got any bootlegs mate?'...he looked like he'd just had a death threat and said. 'er, er, nooooooooo mate sorry' I wonder if its the same one, I didn't know Itunes did things like that, sadly I don't use the apple platform for anythiung
@@Lloyd1885 if you know someone who has iTunes on their apple , see if you can just hear a grab from the album. There’s live stuff from Australia , Japan , all over the place. Must be legit though . Otherwise iTunes wouldn’t be allowed to sell it .
Unfortunately Andy is mixed up and Alan doesn’t correct him. Colin Johnson was still managing the band in 85. David Walker didn’t take over until 88 or 89
On top of this the opening band was The Band of the Coldstream Guards. Quo were on second. I imagine it was felt to just do the interviews and key them speak and do any editing or corrections at the production stage.
The questions were only intended to be heard by the interviewee and the production crew working on Hello Quo film. It just so happens that these raw interview takes are now being shared on RU-vid so thank you as I would never have to expected this.
If the label was owed two more albums why didn't they just release a double album greatest hits? If the quality of bootlegs were so bad then why did they put dreadful ones on re-issues, such as the 'Live' boxset?
The Sydney Hordern Pavilion recording, on the Live boxset, isn't a bootleg. It's a soundboard recording that Mal Kingsnorth captured during his time with the band. It obviously hadn't been looked after in the past 40 odd years, and was only a cassette. The other deluxes, however, should not have included any bootleg recordings and instead should've included the countless Alt Takes / Outtakes that are sat in the vaults.
@@UnofficialStatusQuo It certainly doesn't sound like a soundboard recording. Also the 'Live' boxset seemed like a bit of a cash grab. Surely they could have given us the Kursaal show or a combination of the other two nights at the Glasgow Apollo.
@ianscholes3049 I don't think any of the 4 shows recorded in 1975 exist anymore. There's a monitor mix of Stoke-On-Trent, but that has 1 full track and bits of others. In regards to the Apollo recordings, keep your eyes out for something in the near(ish) future. The original release was a combination of all 3 nights, regardless of what Rossi may have stated in past interviews. Both Jackie Lyntons intro and Is There A Better way come from the 2nd Night
@@josephbuckley5961Sorry, it's too simple what you wrote about. It's a business. The band has not sooo influence. Management and Record companies have it. Cream of the crop should came out as a single. But the record company said, the song is too fast. Some came not on albums. Better times, heavy Daze, Lucinda. Can you explain me that? When I am reading all this comments, many experts from the show business...
@@dirkheyer196 then status quo wasn't run properly acdc done the same but Malcolm young made them into millionaires. Poor business if you call it "business" rossi on too much coke like I said dead and simple. Mans a clown !!! You really think that rossi was the face when I've see loads of rick parffits doubles ? Lol
