Alan lancaster's Bass lines in this are spot on. The most underrated bassist of all time. RIP Nuff

The whole album is what rock music is about. A classic

Some of us were lucky enough to see Quo live in the 70s. What a fckin band! It's great to see your journey. You've got so many great songs to go!

The quo definitely needs a spot on your wall Get it up there 🎸🎸

Love your crazy reactions to Status Quo but who can't to that song Slow Train a masterpiece, for another Quo boogie song try Hold you back 🎶🎵🎸

Now you're just heard the real quo

When my quo mate Kenny Hiscox passed away this song played as we walked out the crematorium. But we all stopped and sat down with tears rolling fown our faces, this is the power of Quo and what it means th their fans. So glad you discovered the love. Rock on dude. 🤘

Great to see another Quo disciple born ! Have seen them in Australia every time they have toured since '74. Long live the QUO

Lonely Man from this album is a classic.Well worth a listen.

​​Saw the FF tour of 2014 in Manchester. Dream come true. The original quo back together.

Quo changed my life in 1978. "Backwater/Just Take Me" were played on the radio (from this album). "That is really good band"... I went to my hometown library and they had "On The Level" album. From the first notes of "Little Lady/Most Of The Time" I knew I had found my favorite band. They still are, after 47 fantastic gigs. A fan of life 💖

I wish everyone who heard Quo were as enthused. Brilliant album. Incredible to think it's 50 years old

The No. 1 rock n roll band in the land

Vintage Quo, My first concert was in Glasgow Apollo 1976 and the balcony was moving up and down like never witnessed before, then I went to see them at Dundee Caird Hall and after they were banned for 20 years because the place was totalled ;)

If you have had a bad day at work, just put this guy on RU-vid while he listens to Classic Frantic Four era Quo. He will cheer you up. Well thats a first for me, seeing someone listening to Spuds drum solo whilst aiming a machine gun around the room. Quality stuff!

Love your reactions. Keep ‘em coming! You might want to take a look at ‘Blue-eyed Lady’ from the 2013 Frantic Four reunion tour. Parfitt’s rhythm on that is just insanely relentless.

Haha, now that's a proper reaction - Quo are probably on balance my favourite band ever, certainly their 70's output, and this is my favourite album (I have the cover tattooed on my thigh). The hours I spent as a teenager flailing around my bedroom to this stuff, just as you were here. I'm gonna try to share this with with the drummer John Coghlan, because I think he'd enjoy it 🤘

Saw them live in Glasgow when they recorded the live album. It was over 3 nights and they played Slow Train on the last night, the place went insane. Massive banks of speakers and the volume just blew you apart. Always loved the Quo, that's why I seen them 35+ times. An honest reaction from a genuine Rock 'n Roll lover.

This is probably one of the best songs they ever wrote, even better when its live. If you want to see the latest and final lineup of status quo you will need to watch them this year and possibly a few gigs going into next year...after that they wont be touring anymore. The music might never die , the fans will always be there , but the musicians are reaching the stage whereby its time to call it a day for the tours. Ive had the pleasure of seeing them many many times at a lot of venues since 1974 and those memories will always stay with me forevormore. BTW the Quo Army are fantastic , they know great music when they hear it and all their concerts rock.

You are a breath of fresh air buddy.

Been waiting for you to do this one, probably my favourite of all. John Coughlan (Spud) AKA The Mad Turk on drums, the greatest shuffle player of all time.

Yes!! This is the one I've been suggesting to you for a while now! Hope you enjoy it!

I kinda reacted like this when I first played it as a teenager. Just brilliant 🤩

Great reaction Mr Rock and Roll. Drifting Away on the same LP will have your brain exploding

End of the road 84 full concert you wont regret it.

I Saw them in Ireland in 1974 and 2002 love quo great band the original quo were so special Rip Rick and Alan

Couldn’t click on this fast enough. Such a great reaction to one of my most favourite Quo songs. And yes ……. Quo were the best and most fun live bands around. I saw the original line up many times. Just awesome. Although if I remember correctly I don’t think they ever actually played slow train live in its entirety.

You just getting it ! Not many bands could see this lot off back in the day Dog of two head through to on the level Hammersmith Odeon used to bounce two feet in the air with the punters when these lads put it down.

Yesssss! The best combination on RU-vid, Status Quo and Mr. Rock and Roll!!!

Bizarrely the Quo hardly ever played slow train live... THE SAUCE definitely totally should do it... Gotta keep that quo train going boys!!! 💪💪🤠😎

i love the way you get it.... we who know get it..........

I've seen them live 4 times, they are superb.

I can tell this type of music gets you hyped and you really enjoy it aswell. If I am lucky enough Status Quo are coming to the town I live in in August this year and I may purches a ticket to go and see them again live

Saw them last night in Scarborough Open Air Theatre, still absolutely nailing it🤘

The quo are currently touring the uk and Europe. Great reactions

Seen them 3 nights ago in Glasgow, still a great live band. LET'S ROCK

I listen to the quo and acdc now and again you can hear the influences quo made with acdc

I've shared your channel on my Quo trib band's page. You deserve hundreds of new followers. ❤

You must try Little Lady / most of the time, the opening tracks from the on the level album. Stunning boogie followed by the heaviest and most powerful blues workout you will ever hear

Feel good music! I miss this Quo!

And John Coghlan is a left handed drummer

Bro, lovely big guy rock n roll... You've done it again. Awesome. Thanks. I was one of the many who requested this from you. So happy. If I could I would subscribe 10m times to help your channel. Great reaction 🎉🎉🎉❤

One of my favourite tracks ever. From the time when I had hair!

Such a great song, epic!

Saw them on Friday 31/5/24 in Glasgow they still have it 🎸🎸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Give their tune Ring Of A Change a listen from their album Blue For You. 👍 Also look for the gig titled End of The Road. Live at the Milton Keynes Bowl, It was the final show of their first final farewell tour on the 21st July 1984 infront of 42,000 Quo fans. 🤘

One of the best all time live bands,period.

From Australia - I'm 61 and have been hooked on Quo for 50 years. Check out the Swedish coverband "Big Fat Mama" for their version of Slow Train - it's spot on, and you & their Drummer could be brothers.

Ah right. This is another great example of Quo's mastery when it comes to doing long songs that fly by in no time at all, that they would end their albums with, that leaves you wanting more. There's definitely a theme going, considering you've done, 'forty-five hundred times', and, 'Bye Bye Johnny', so far. There's a few more which fit into the same category still to go, though. 'Roadhouse Blues', and, 'Mystery Song', being the ones that immediately spring to mind. The 1974, 'Quo', album continued the legacy of, 'Hello!', with the obvious other choice for consideration being the 2 opening tracks, (I say 2 as they run from one to the other), namely, 'Backwater', and, 'Just Take Me.' John Coghlan, the drummer, shone quite magnificently on this album. The solo on, 'Slow Train', only being one example. The majority of songs on this album were written and sang by their then bassist Alan Lancaster, and it kind of shows. Not only the 2 openers, but also, 'Drifting Away', and, 'Don't Think It Matters.' Francis Rossi sang 3, namely, the only single from the album, 'Break The Rules', (which ought to be given a listen, if nothing else), 'Fine Fine Fine', and, 'Slow Train.' Rick Parfitt only contributed the one song. A laid-back breather called, 'Lonely Man.' You could do the entire album as, much like their previous 2 albums, there's not a skipper among them. You've done it again as far as songs by Quo that haven't been reacted to before. Hopefully, it'll start a trend. I would highly recommend, 'Mystery Song', (album version, of course), as the next song to react to by Status Quo.

Next one has to be Backwater😊!!

The best tune from the brilliant Quo. An amazing tune

How lucky are you listening to some vintage Quo for the first time, rock on Brother😊

Oh yes this has made my day 🤘🤘 rock on

If you want to see them live they are on tour NOW!!

Check out Junior's Wailing from the Quo album Live.

I see you have a Live Aid poster there How about checking out Quo's Live Aid set? Just 3 numbers. All belters!

Thanks for all the various reaction and analysis videos you have uploaded to RU-vid. I have to go to work and have only watched a few minutes of your live stream. My comment is about the small amount of content I have seen. Taking Miyako as an example, having a classically trained background, always shines through. You can experience various rock and metal bands, going back to the 70's where a member as had extensive or some classical training. What has change for budding or experienced musician's, is the affordability of recording and editing equipment. You can literally have a professional studio in your bedroom.

Mystery Song next. Sure it'll become another new favourite! Keep rockin' Heath!

This was just a great album all round, backwater/just take me is a proper gem

Come see them in Münich-Germany on the 8th of July I'll be there with me gf, for my 27nd concert with Quo ! :)

Wow, the first reaction ever to this song! Congratulations, man! 👍

One of my favorites. Saw them do this one, in the Netherlands in the 70's, on the Pink Pop festival. One of the best concerts I've ever seen. Great fun reaction. Thanks bro. 👍👊😁💪

Amazing video 🙌 plz see Quo live! You wont regret it! /best wishes from Sweden 🇸🇪

When Quo was QU0..…no frills!!

Im seeing them Tuesday in swansea arena front row. I hate to say it but this but this looks like its the last year for the quo.

Early 70s Quo were the most fun you could ever have at a live gig.

Amazing song,amazing band❤

I knew you would love this song. It's a real head-banger. And that drum solo is a killer. Next do "Rain" and "Mystery Song" from their Blue For You album.

So why aren't they on the wall?

It's years since I heard this. I forgot it morphed into an Irish jig.

Blue Eyed Lady...now there's a song🤘

Something different from the Quo. Check out "In the army now"

Oh Yea this Album is Rhythm and Boogie Roll

Top tier Quo, I so wish they'd have played this live in it's entirety but never did A classic! that last bit after the drum solo is fire

Quo are the best band to play air guitar to .keep them coming ,love it 🎸😀🍻

Top top band live

Milton Keynes must be next!!

my favourite quosong. Wish I had got to hear it in its entirety Live. Not only the small part from the medley.

You should play the complete Quo Album…. You will love it :-))))))

First time i heard Slowtrain live i thought my ears were gonna bleed. Sweat lashing off me i thought id pi**ed myself! ✌️🎸

John Couglan drummer on Slow Train, and member of Frantic Four is still alive and kicking playing with JCsQUO

Insane isn't it. We have loved the Quo for,well for me 40 years

This is just fantastic!!! Much respect to you my friend 👍🏻 Love the Quo 🎸🎸🎸

Same record: Drifting Away. Probably the hardest song they ever wrote. Just brutal back in '74.

The real status quo, not the shit that's about now!!!!!!!!!!!!

@alanstrom2221 0 seconds ago 90% of the songs on the "QUO" album were written by Lancaster/Parfitt. RIP - Rick Parfitt RIP - Alan Lancaster

Before the QUO clock!!!

Just so you know its pronounced State us . Hi from Scotland

Love watching your reactions to the Quo. Just how we all felt back in the early 70's. Not the same band now at all though.

For live performances, I would recommend the Birmingham 1989 show. Like all bands with long careers you can now use the benefit of hindsight to divide up a band's career into different phases. In the late 80s, the synths and keys work beautifully to add a new dimension to their live performances, in my opinion. Francis' lead guitar sounds fresh and punchy I think. I would suggest 'The Power of Rock', one of their last long songs, with tempo changes, a catchy chorus and blistering solos on both guitar and piano. But make sure you choose the live version. 'The Power of Rock' - live. I would describe it as an 80s relative to the 70s juggernauts 'Forty-Five Hundred Times' and 'Slow Train'. But in my opinion, a fabulous creation at a time when the band's live shows were absolutely on fire.

John Couglan OG was the creator of this solo, one of the best drummers back in the day

Nice to see you trying to do the 'jig' Micheal Flatley would be proud of you!

John Coghlan was just brilliant at doing his drum solo!!

4500 times of the rock til you drop album 👌👌

Mad Turk and Nuff spot on and so tight.

Loving the videos... I've seen a few mentions in the comments about how Quo put 'light and shade' into their albums. May be try the track before this on the Quo album... Lonely Man as an example of this. Very different sound and the layers in the song will surely melt your brain holes 🙃

when are u starting reacting to Tommy Johannson? Guitarist Sabaton?

THE greatest boogie rock song of all time IMO. Hail!!!

Welcome my brother your in the quo family now .
