Status Quo - Stafford Bingley Hall, 9th January 1977 (AI Enhanced / Remastered) 

0:00 Is There A Better Way 3:54 Roll Over Lay Down 9:18 Don't Waste My Time

I am 61. Hearing and watching this - I am 16. Thank you.

There weren’t any smart phones in the air in those days. We were there for the music and the atmosphere. No time to be fiddling with gadgets 😂

I first saw Quo in 1975 and again in 1977 at Festival Hall Brisbane Queensland. I also saw Queen in 1977 and without doubt Quo were a much better live band. Queen was stunning but Quo live were the best live band I have ever seen. I have seen about 50 other acts in my life including Powderfinger with my now deceased son and all paled when compared. My then 12 year old son in the 1990's was stunned by the force of playing by Quo and loved them also. Rest in Peace my son.

The Quo I fell in love with. RIP Rick and Alan.

Fuck me they were a good bloody band 🤩

Priceless , this is when they were a premier rock n roll band , loud and heavy .

The very reason i steered well clear of Quo -Lite !

That clapping under Don't waste my time is marvelous, everyone hands in the room clapped! Today more cameras up than clapping..

This is the Quo of my youth, seeing them in the mid/late 70's before it all went downhill. The best band to grace the Apollo Glasgow that I saw, including the original ACDC.

Wow, no band before or since has generated the power that these 4 guys were able to. Loud, tight, and fucking fantastic, best live band I ever saw.

As a prog rock fan it's nice to be reminded just how much I love Status Quo too.

Live from the "cowshed", the Quo of my youth. Great to see and a great reminder of what gigs were like with a hungry young audience. Too much saturation and accessibility has made people bored of live music. I never used to hear conversations going on back then. Now it's sometimes a struggle to find a section of the crowd that don't think their own conversation is more important than what is going on onstage.

Wow wish I'd seen them in their prime. Drums so powerful and the guitars boom. How people don't like Quo is beyond me. The no1 pure 12 bar boogie band of all time.

Great times.great band. Today's music is shite.

I was there. Loudest concert I ever went to.

These NEED to be on DVD!!

I was there queued for ages to get in .This was the start of my tinnitus and still have it now to this day. I am 70 years old and i still listen to quo.

A friend of mine asked me in 1975, how come I, a musician, liked Status Quo? I mean, he said, it’s so simple! I answered, can you make that many people happy at one time? No? Thanks, that’s why I’ve always loved this band! Because they make me feel good!

Best boogie rock band, period. Hard, dynamic, melodic, great vocals and the energy is just so infectious. The frantic four, that's Status Quo too me. Great!!!

Quo right at the top of their game. I think Roll Over was rarely off my turntable. So blessed I saw them so many times over this period. Every gig was on another level in terms of audience and performance. Many happy memories...

I was there, my first Quo gig, never ever forget it.

Roll Over Lay Down is class.

Blimey I was there! Only just found this. The next day I was doing my mock physics exam in a school gym, my ears were still ringing. Fantastic!

I remember watching this live on TV with my best mate, Pip. We were HUGE Quo fans and this being on live TV was unbelievable!! Up there with Queen's Christmas live from Hammersmith. A very different, and not necessarily a worse time!

SQ...greatest rock band...greater than Stones...

I was there remembering it well. what a night deaf for three days and a squeaky voice from shouting.

Incredible footage! I’d previously seen a poor-quality copy, but this is absolutely sublime. We need more live footage of the Quo in their prime, i.e. pre-‘82.

Mr Rossi playing solos just as when they were first recorded, an absolute legend! ✌️

Still got me ticket stub. Rocked away with a young lady called Jennifer on my shoulders for 4500 times wonderful memories.

One of the all time great live bands.

For years I've been waiting to see a concert on RU-vid that I'd actually been to. The wait is over. I was there!

So much prefer Rossi's guitar tone here, pure Telecaster. Not the overdriven fuzz he uses now. Great footage, thanks for uploading.

Never has been or will ever will be a better rock-'n'-roll band!!

Now ….that is Quo!! Absolutely bloody fantastic!!!

Greetings from germany. Those were the days. I would have payed 1 million Deutsche Mark if i could have seen such a live performance back in the late 1970s when i hit the world of QUO after they released the "Whatever you want" album. These are the things i like RU-vid for! Great. Quo will perform in Wolfsburg (Capitol of Volkswagen) in late june 2024. I'll be there and probably will see "them" there for my very last time. But their great times in the 1970s and their wild and heavy rocking performance will never be forgotten!

Brilliant , they were untouchable around here,a massive band in many parts of the World, just makes it a bit sad that it ended up as it is now. Quo Live in the car tomorrow

Absolutely great to see the frantic four in 1977, I also saw them on Dec 9th 1977 at Granby Halls, Leicester with my dad!!, rocking all over the world tour and wow was it loud, love the original Quo, Great memories.

happy to see this video. 4 great musicians, perhaps the best band in 70ths with Led Zep.I'm 69 and I have the same pleasure than yough time.Rick end Alan playing for God dancing.

Great to watch and hear. Nothing better than vintage 70s Quo first thing Saturday morning! Frantic Four! Thank you posting this, I really look forward to seeing more footage like this 🤘

That's the Quo I loved, never beaten, amazing just gutted I was only 12 around this time no way I could get to see them 😪

my 2nd quo concert ,they were brilliant .proper quo

I was there !!!! my first major concert at the "cow shed" Stafford, awesome.

the best live band ever, the best audiences ever...always left the shows...soaked, aching and deaf. QUO O O OHHHH !

Wow!! I was at this show, this was Quo in their prime.!!!!

I never saw the Quo of this era, I feel like I've totally missed out. Whitley Bay in about 85 or 86 is where it all began for me. I was tasked with taking my younger brother(passed away 2006 age 32), not really having listened to Status Quo before. My mind was blown; they started with Whatever You Want and I just remember the whole crowd bouncing up and down to that classic beat. I had tickets once again with my brother to see them in Edinburgh late Dec 06. He passed just 2 weeks before. My family talked me out of cancelling telling me to take my son and enjoy a band who my brother loved as much as me. Memories are the fabric of our lives, I urge everyone to make them today and don't wait until tomorrow. 🎸

Wow just fk wow this band will forever be the best rock n roll band in my ❤

How I like to remember the greatest rock n roll band.

For the record, over the last four weeks, you have produced (and given to the world) several videos! While all of the videos merit appreciative comment, events in this film occurred during my first year of college. That is truly 'taking me back'. Had I then known of SQ, I would have been an avid fan. All the more, those who were there, as well as those responsible for this video, have forgotten more about Quo's music than I will ever know. For more than I can say, "Mega-thanks!"

I must ve seen them that year in Nurnberg, Germany. This is just like it was.. Loud and raw.. Nothing beat them then. They were on top of their game... My ears rang for days after...

Regardless of whether you like or dislike Quo nobody can argue the fact they had the best fans of any band. Their concerts were just sheer joy. Compare this to watching a 25 minute Jimmy Page guitar solo......This is a master class on entertainment.

Love it. Great work in enhancing the video. Absolutely tragic that the rest has gone. We were right at the front between Rick and Francis. A great night.

Oh WOW my very first ever concert i went to when i was just 16 y.o what a great day this was. Then the last time i ever saw them was ''End of the Road'' tour when i saw them at their final show 21st July 1984 at the Milton Keynes Bowl. Was just as amazing than when i saw them at Bingley Hall Stafford. Great band

I love this Status Quo, the real Quo not the sham band calling themselves Status Quo today.

I was there that night , brilliant show as always , rock n roll 🤘🤘

I took my dad to see Quo here - he wore a suit! Everyone thought he was security 😂 Thanks for posting this - saw Quo many times those were the days! 👍

Seen Quo as a young lad in 1973, 74, 75 and 76 here in Australia, they blew every venue to kingdom come, they were at their peak in those years, so sad by 1978 they started turning to shit.

Bingley Hall? That's a laugh. As somebody already pointed out, it was no posh Hall, just a massive cow shed with phenomenal acoustics. Was at this gig and arrived about 3 hours before the doors opened. Attire was faded and ripped blue jeans, white tee shirt and faded blue denim waistcoat (what else?) With tatty plimsolls on ya feet! None of your posh trainers in them days. It was about 2 degrees above freezing but hail and wind chill took it well below zero. But of course, it was all worth it. Quo were THE band to see live and to see 8000 nutcases doing a jig to 45 Hundred Times will live in my memory forever! PS this gig was a Sunday evening and next day at work, my ears were still ringing! I'm 68 now and wear two hearing aids but I don't regret it!

Frantic four at there peak can’t wait to watch 💪👌

Later this year they embarked on the Rocking all over the world tour. Which was to be my first gig in Manchester. New back line new set. Been hooked ever since.❣

I was there, we walked from the railway station and queued for 2 hrs to get in and it was bloody freezing, but worth it.

Wow. That’s insanely good. Thanks for posting this. Great memories. Went to see them on same tour at Bridlington Spa Theatre. The best live band ever. Probably the loudest too. Just phenomenal. Ears rang and neck hurt for days after. Lol.!! Love Don’t waste my time on this. Thx.

Astounding performance! The audience is a super as the band! Such joy! Thank you for posting!

Always nice to see upgrades of 70s Quo. In 1976 on New Zealand TV, I saw Quo playing Roadhouse Blues from the Marquee 72 show. All we see of that is Paper Plane and Don't waste my time. There was also footage of Bye Bye Johnny from 72. Hopefully it will surface again before I leave this wirld

brilliant, you can hear the roar energy coming through, yes we want more film of them in the 70;s not like this crap they are playing now,

They sound AWESOME.

I was there for this gig, it was a Daily Mirror pop awards concert and i believe Nutz supported them, this or perhaps Budgie, this among with Cardiff castle are amongst my favorite Quo gigs, ( out of 200 plus )

Status Quo. The one and only...

Wicked. Finally we can actually see them in this video! Thanks for your great work enhancing/restoring.

This is going to be amazing....🎸🥁🎵🙌

Fantastic footage....thanks for the upload

Brilliant clip, thanks. Love the Quo fans at the end singing `You`ll never rock alone`. Yup, we were the best followers of any band ever!

There will never be another one not like Quo, found em when I was 11 in 73 loved em till 77 my first love, fantastic band.

This is a band on fucking fire

A very good video with three of Quos best songs. This is really my kind of music. Love it!❤😊🇸🇪

No phones! Brilliant!

absolutely fanbloodytastic .. thank you for sharing that 👍

Me gustan mucho los status quo son lo mejor del rock en el mundo. Ojalá vengan a Guadalajara Jal México.

❤Happy Birthday John Coghlan ❤

Sad that 'Spud' had to leave !

Is there more footage? Its so powerful they hitn their prime, rockin the hall with the great boogie sound, is there a better way is a punk pro song, fast, heavy, amazing.... the rest of this great show isn't unearthed, hope they do it sooner or later.

Absolute Gold. Thank you 🙏

This band has awesome fans!

I hope a complete live recording of the Frantic Four in the 70's or Never too late tour

The way Francis long strides in a circle with a bouncy step and small stomp when he doing the first solo in DWMT is great. Never seen anyone do that before. And of course, the guitar sound is great, of course !

I was there, Daily mirror rock and pop awards, we queued for hours to get in and it was bloody freezing.

Best band this country ever produced. Don't waste my time....amazing get down and boogie.

Absolutely Great !

So the whole gig was recorded and 3 tracks selected for TV. Please God is the full gig out there???💜💜💜💜💜🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🙏🙏🙏🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Totaly amazing clip, it really dosent get much better than this!!!

This is the reeeeaaaaal Status Quo, not the band who is currently touring... Two different worlds... they were brilliant those days... sold out large halls... not 2000 seaters as today...

STATUS QUO at his Best..... but the fucking Videoeffect destroyed a lott of Fun to watch it.....Hope we can see someday the complete Concert in all it's Glory.... Without these disturbing Videoeffects....

Loving this

Now that's the Quo I grew up with, brilliant.

Please God tell us the entire concert exists somewhere. They always sounded better in this lineup in front of those hodge-podge amp stacks.

This is great. I hasn't realised there was a bit of Big Cat Mama at the end or if forgotten about it. Thanks

Fantastic !! ♫

Wish I was there, great days

Even on my stone-age phone this sounds good.

Fuck yes dude! thanks a fucking ton(pardon my French!) but this was just so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
