Saw their two end of the road concerts in the 80s at Selhurst Park and Milton Keynes. The last gigs with the 'proper' line-up - my calves hurt for days afterwards from bouncing up and down for two hours each night. Everyone thinks Quo's music is easy but if you've ever tried playing a Quo song like Quo play it, then you'll appreciate the amount of ballsy effort it takes to make that unique sound. I don't have may heroes but Parfitt and Rossi are two of them - they made me want to be them. Plus their harmonies are often overlooked - top, top band.
How empty the rock world is without Rick,, , you try to get the sweeping shredders play 2 hours of metronome precise 12 bar blues on 11 gauge strings,,,, Rick was a beast of a rhythm guitar player !! And a great singer !!
@@hey1908to be more precise they were 14-56 with a wound 26G and they are heavy! I had a Tele set up with them for a long time when I was a rhythm player. Let me tell ya after a two hour gig you knew about it.
I adore these guys - they brought so much joy to my life. I’ve been once at their concert long time ago in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. It was in concert hall with perfect acoustic. They blew me away in seconds…
I love what Francis said in an interview about "Why not play Wembley for 3-5 nights and earn the big bucks there?" he answered "Then we wouldnt be on the road!"
Heroes since 1972, first got to see them play live two nights running in 1976, last time was 2015. 😢 Although it’s only FR remaining from the original line up, I still enjoy the band.
This is awesome, and so British, one of the best rock n roll bands ever smashing out tunes and ones wearing a Woolley hat and the others wearing a north face fleece, you'd never catch Axle and Slash dressed like that! And to cap it off Roy Wood turns up, as British and as rock n roll as it ever could be!!!
"This is mic number one isn't this a lot of fun! .........where did you come from?!"🤣🤣💜👍✌️ I've seen Quo live more than any other band why? Because they're tight, good, old fashioned rock and rollers, who always give a great show✌️👍💜😊
Thank's 🙏you save my day😂 Fantastic time , Rick funny & Francis played like no one else.🍺from🇩🇪,love England,we were many Times there for Quo, football, Sightseeing & Pub's , always a pleasure 👍
what I admired the most is their stamina in barree grabbing and the traditional rock 'n roll grip with the little finger. I've tried it myself for years but never managed in terms of strength😅
Don’t Waste My Time - what an absolutely rip-roarer of a classic 12 bar boogie song from the uniformly excellent Piledriver album (arguably Quo’s best).
looks like this was during the making of the Film Hello, you can see the director/film maker Alan G Parker at the front...( the big guy in the green jacket and beanie)
Yes!!!, and The Falcons (1963), Gerry Levene and The Avengers (1964), Mike Sheridan and The Nightriders (1964-65), Mike Sheridan´s Lot (1965), Rock Brigade (1979), The Rockers (1983), Doctor and the Medics with Roy Wood (1986), Roy Wood´s Army (1988), Roy Wood Big Band (90´s +...), Roy Wood Rock & Roll Band (this group is the group that Wood was playing in at the same time as this Status Quo video)... etc etc etc.. great great great Roy Wood..👍
@@heavyheadrecords He was, but he deserves so much more than that for his work with The Move - one of the best bands of the 60s, Wizzard - one of the top bands of the glam rock era, and his solo work. I fear it will be a case of waiting till he dies before his talent actually gets recognised.
The annoying thing is my wife and I were meant to be at that concert, but our eldest daughter forgot to book a leave day off 4 months in advance (!) so she could watch our youngest boy that night. We had some words to say to her at the time given we had great seats not far from the stage!
Similar thing happened to me. I was meant to see them in 1969 but my wife (Neil Armstrong) had to go to the moon or something with a couple of friends. Needless to say…we divorced shortly after.
Why would you put 3 pick ups on a tele? Just use a Strat! In my opinion, neck and bridge single coils together sounds 100x better than a middle single coil on its own.
KDYŽ JSEM PŘED 45 LETY ZASLECHL Z REPRÁKŮ DUNĚT BYE BYE JOHNY, MĚL JSEM JASNO. VÍC UŽ JSEM OD ROCKU NEČEKAL. ALE PO ČASE MI ROCKOVÝ BŮH UKÁZAL SVOU TVÁŘ A PROMLUVIL NA MNE : JAKO CAROLINE .....
obviously i know its from brighton as the title suggests and as a native i know that venue like a second home, but what was this filmed for? ive never seen the footage before!
glasgow live album , even after alan and john left they were still ok but not quite the quo i knew ,rick bombastit rhthym and rossi good guitar as anyone else i,ve ever heard , great lyricist as well , but a bit of a knob
Reckon the new band should basically call themselves the Francis Rossi band. Gotten ridiculous. And they're re-recording old classics from the 70s ... WTAF ?!?
