Saw Status Quo back in 1977 in Manchester....it was when they released "Rockin all over the World." Great Concert.....my ears were ringing for about 3 days afterwards!!! RIP Rick.......a Great Musician,and Person.
As always,another brilliant rendition of a wicked track to begin a gig with! It would be my wish that the whole rock family world wide attend at least one QUO SHOW! Love the Quo since Randwick Racecourse 1973 Sydney!
I´v seen them twice in Stockholm and I loved them since my teen in the mid 70-th. Fabolous band and Rossi keep the group going in a great manner despite the sad loss of Rick Parfit.
I have been a life long Quo fan since 1968....I've seen them in various guises and in many years, and although Rossi still has it, his voice is distinctive, and I will always support them, I now prefer watching the tribute bands such as State of Quo and Dog of Two Head. They play from the era that I most enjoyed and capture the sound accurately. RIP Alan & Rick....
Oh yezzzzzz fans make Birmingham great again, this is a very good point for a start, the music is ok and the audience just puuuurrfect, big loving hug back all fans, keep up be strong never let any evil dare to harm you guys, God Bless awesome people of Birmingham
Even though they always start with Caroline its still great to hear it bought to life one more time! Hats off to Mr Rossi. He'll be playing this as he goes to heaven. God Bless the Quo may their music never fade. Xxxxx
Whereas they didn't write or play Stairway to Heaven, when Quo goes they'll be playing their music when they go through that golden gate. When there's a thunderstorm it'll be them playing this or Down Down at full blast.
Francis Rossi used to play in a group called Status Quo, along with Rick Parfitt, Alan Lancaster, John Coghlan. The frantic four. They were by far the best STATUS QUO.
I agree and I don't think the other members would contradict that. They are cool, and their role was to help Rick and Francis, and Andy Bown, to keep rocking.
Not so much Status Quo as the Francis Rossi Band. Spud has his own version as "John Coghlan's Quo" too. R.I.P. Rick Parfitt and Alan Lancaster, you are both sadly missed.
i'm not a Quo fan, Queen are my passion but i've never understood why the Quo got so much stick and negative comments from so many? they were good honest rock musicians and fun guys, and also great pals with Queen, i loved the short clip of rick and francis outside a gig back door talking about Queen and rick says "yeh i saw them on top of the pops with killer queen or whatever it was and i thought they had potential, the ugly one that sings, whats his name"? 🤣🤣🤣
@@dietmarbarkowski7266 yep, prior to that, he was in the herd with Peter Frampton, & was on the QUO live 2 lp set in the 70s, I was referring to no Rick, John, or Alan.just isn't the same feel
@@bbb8997 I agree, for me the best Line Up where the Frantic Four & Alan. But sadly this is impossible now, so I'm thankful that the recent Band with Francis, Alan & Co is keeping this great Music alive...
@@dietmarbarkowski7266 it's like a lot of older bands, members have retired or passed on. I believe Mike Rossi would be better off to bill the band as a status quo tribute band
That's like saying Angus Young and Phil Rudd and hired hands aren't AC/DC. Or Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and hired hands are not the Rolling Stones They are still the QUO
i think its time to change. always the same intro: drone, always caroline to start, always the same jokes, etc. as a decadelong fan im sad i have to say: forget it, sorry
