Status Quo - Don’t Waste My Time (Live Aid 1985) 

with reason.

today overrated....

You mean NOBODY else could have done it? What about all those other years when......oh, forget it.

We'd be in hell without the Quo I love them so much. The opening part of the gig has to be one of music's best ever set. The whole of the band deserves a knighthood. And NOW not next year. I am just so glad that I'm still alive to be able to see and hear it. Thank you Francis Rick and ,Alan I will love you all forever.

Slade could to the job and better!

@@macca63 Yes, sweetheart. Don't you have homework to do?

Slade a great singles band, Quo an albums band role roles reversed.

i agree i last saw quo in perth supported by aussie band screaming jets brilliant concert i would have went twice low priced shows when your that good its not about the money they love performing.

​@macca63 why weren't they asked?

👍😊💙🇮🇪🇬🇧

ikr

Agreed 👍

Correct my friend, infact I struggle to think of another band that could do it like this in this way 😊

Yes it's an iconic moment in British Rock history, it captured everything about that day. Rest in peace Rick and Alan ❤

Well. They didn't want to play. At the time the band was done. Coghlan left a few years before and at the time (1985) Rossi and Alan were not getting along. Also between Rick and Francis things were not good at the time. Drugs and booze were all around. It was Bob Geldof that convinced them they had to be there. Quo hadn't played together for over a year and didn't have much time to do rehearsals. They just got on stage and played. On stage, looking at the audience and all the cameras, it was when they started to realise how big the event Live Aid was and afterwards how good it was they were the first band on stage that day (publicitywise).

And he was here playing with 'The Bombers' at that time as well!

There's an interview with Bob where he lines out why Quo had to be brought back on stage: 'Whoever would withstand the pressure by opening the worlds' biggest concert? Only Quo can do, so they had to be re-activated!' Quo went on stage, fully loaded as ever, but totally unrehearsed.

They rehearsed on the Friday and called it a sound check , quality

@@patricioangueta8332 I just don't understand these comments, numbers and funny letters.

thats what started them off they are a true working band

Too bloody right mate seen them may times over the years first with the original line up, then the Francis and rick years then again on the reunion tour

check out francis Rossi live at st lukes and king of the doghouse another is status quo backbone done a while ago takes a few listens sounds different but i like it check it out.

i never knew that Mr. Andrew, you're a man of even more talents.....😀

No, Queen was on top!!!

@@janfoss2856 No, Queen is very overrated, Quo is better

@@Erick--__-- I dig both of them.

@@Erick--__-- nah queen better

@@provoda1216 nah quo is better

Up there with the best ? You can't have heard the best in that case.

@@spanishpeaches2930 Best at what he does in the pop genre. Not making comparisons with a Spanish guitarist.

@@justaroundthecorner2883 I'm not talking about classical guitar. I could name thirty guitarists ( including my best mate) off the top of my head...and many more.. who would spank his backside when it comes to playing the electric guitar.

@@spanishpeaches2930 Thank for replying: your right of course there are some great players out there. His lead break in Blue eyed lady is impressive. He's earned his spurs as a player, still working on mine.

@@justaroundthecorner2883 All I would say about him is that he is the perfect fit for Quo, who were magnificent in the Seventies, but pretty rubbish from then on.

Yes.. the best of times, totally agree 💯

should

Well, they were fairly reserved when they opened LIVE AID. I have to agree with you that Francis played every note perfectly. He normally misses a note here and there or bends a note or two. Sad, that was Alan's last gig with the boys.

Well, they did the Reunion gigs in 2013 / 2014. My apologies.

​@@alanstrom2221 RIP Rick and alan

It was by far the best of the three songs they did that day.

@@sueperglue8847 Obviously you ain't no SQ-fan!

Cables still were more reliable back then. Shows their professionalism.
