ONE OF THE BEST!! | Status Quo - Down Down | Live at Download 2014 | REACTION 

You guys are fantastic! Please consider supporting me and/or my band down below, HIT SUBSCRIBE, and as usual STAY ROCKIN!!!

They were the best live rock act in the mid 70’s. Absolutely untouchable!

Their only UK number one from 1974. Proper pounder of a song live. Let's not forget that Rick and Francis are almost 70 performing this show at Donington

Ok here is why the Us, missed out on Quo, they toured the States several times as a support band, released records under Capitol, in75,76,77 but your radio never played their records even though they did go down well. The record company didn't push them they were told by one promoter' if you pay off my mortgage' I will make it happen ' Quo's manager at the time, band included decided 'sod that' we're selling albums by the bucket load why the hell should we slog our guts out to pay off some two bit record promoter to play our records- from then on they only did Europe Britain and other countries where the records sold their attitude was 'if it goes it goes' The fans of good music missed out because they were not seen as being 'profitable by their record company promoters and your FM radio thought they were too loud! How time changes respective, when people like you are asking why they didn't make it- unfortunately you left it far too late both Rick and Alan have gone, there is only Francis and John Coghlan left of the original band left. Francis has carried on- doing a series of tours talking about his career with and with out Quo, John had his own band Coghlan's Quo- Francis has still continued to tour with 'Quo' with out Rick with Ritchie Malone standing in his place- and 24 sees them back on the road- with Andy Bown- Keyboards, John Rhino Edwards- Bass guitars and vocals and Leon Cave Drums.

This is great but honestly you need to see any footage that is available of this band from the 1970’s, with the two guitarists and the original drummer and bass player. There is a reason they were nicknamed the Frantic Four by fans. If you can have a listen to the live double album recorded at the Glasgow Apollo from around 1977 called Live. It is honestly the livest album ever recorded.🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 They are huge in Britain and most of Europe, they sold out arena tours throughout the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, 2000’s 2010’s etc on the strength of their album content from 1971 through to 77 and their high energy fun live show. The Quo fans truly love this band, and I mean literally love them. I wish you success with your band purely on the strength of you getting the Quo. Rick Parfitt, the blonde guy is one of the best rhythm guitarists in rock.

Imagine growing up in the States over the last 50 years WITHOUT Status Quo! Now imagine growing up in the UK over the same 50 years waiting for every new Quo song, album and tour. Glad you've started your Quo journey, you've played about half a dozen songs - you've got some fantastic music ahead of you!!

The greatest rock & roll band the UK has ever produced. RIP Rick Parfitt. No Quo without you man. 💔 🙋‍♂

You MUST MUST MUST try Roadhouse Medley live. I promise you it will blow your socks off.

I am the most Lucky guy in the world, my two favorites together. Mr Rock and Roll and Status Quo. The perfect combination!

Love this guy... he was born 30 years too late!

Whatever You Want from this gig should be next. It's become a standard, crowd always go nuts..

Seen the Quo live on numerous occasions down through the years since 1976. Never let you down , heads down no nonsense Boogie !!👍🏻

Always have been, & always will be.... the essence of Rock & Roll. The Quo.

What's amazing about this whole performance, is that, apart from the drummer, the rest of the band are in their 60's! How many bands do you know who can maintain that energy throughout a 90 minute set!

You gotta watch them live from 1984 end of the road tour next!

Thank you so much for continuing to play the mighty Status Quo!!! 😀👍🏻

Blue Eyed Lady has one of the best intros to a song ever!

I'm 57, it was the group of my youth and it marked my style of music forever. I love your crazy videos enjoying one of the best bands in history. Greetings

Every Christmas this was the concert we went to to get Christmas started, here in Birmingham UK.. rest in peace Rick we still love you... thanks for reacting

I love Status Quo they get your head moving every time,
