i saw them to in 75,,after 77,,the quo was over,,when John Coghlan left the band,,do you see who is the founder of stage diving,,,not metallica it was quo,,
The KEY to their sucess might be: after 35 years ,we should know exactly what we gonna get and get boared right before it even starts...but we just never do!
Saw the original lineup at Deeside Leisure Center (Chester), NEC and Blackpool. Last concert was small - like being in your front room. Superb. Not arf.
Been jammin' to the Qou since 1973.The best live act i've ever seen. and yes they still kick ass!!! I only wish they would come back to the states. These younger folks don't have a clue on what they missed out on. Quo 4 ever
Got a dad (circa 1960) that doesn't let me forget this fact but there are SOME people born after 1970 (even as late as '86 ;)) that know more than WYW and ROTW!
To minnigaffman01.. Drummer left in 1981, he said 'it wasn't fun anymore..' Bassist left three years later,'tho he joined them as a one-off to do Live Aid. He thought they had abandoned their rocky side and you know what..? He was right..! 70's Quo... brilliant rock n boogie. .... 80's Quo and beyond. No Bollocks and no Soul..!
U R "55" and I am also "55" M8...and I was there to see them all round London and THe South in the early Mid-1970's when they were "pauing their dues".
One concert at The Croydon Greyhound all-standing 3,000 capacity saw then do 5 encores ( including a "Johnny Be Goode" 7 part medley!).
I would pay any price to get there,I would travel round the world, just to see the frantic four once, as im 17 and couldn't see them in the 70's unfortunately!but I love them!
Thats real stuff, status quo, small stage, crowd almost sharing the stage... them..ualllll. I dont remember another band that the members play all the time so close feeling each other playing . amazing.
First saw Quo in 1972, not my favourite band but a good night was always had at one of their concerts. Always had a soft spot for them, never took themselves seriously like some bands, they know Rock'n'Roll is all about having a good time, just delivered raunchy R&B with a smile.
I love the fact that (almost) no two Quo songs are in the same style and even the same song gets played with over time. They're very experimental, which is great but makes it hard to like everything they've done. I like this version of Caroline the best, I think.
This song is off of hello !!! But I just have to say Quo Heads ... On the Level just plain kicks ass !!! Shit Man , The back in the day Quo rocked hard ...
i had seen them in 1975 being 14, my first concert ever, it was great, we were in the first row. there was a strange smell (fog-machine?) which i never ever smelled again...some things never change like these men
Saw Quo live in The Apollo Glasgow around 1980or 81. We were at the front of the circle balcony and I swear it was boncing up and down when we were all rocking to this song. Happy days!
I would have been there - saw them every opportunity at that time. Yes, the circle did bounce when Quo were on. I was in there once and there were actual chunks of plaster dropping on us from the legendary upper circle. Met Rick and Pete Kercher either 80 or 81 in the Holiday Inn one night - couldn't get nicer more down to earth blokes.
My sisters ex-husbands brother in law has a son who once went out with Girl called Mandy and her brother married a Girl from Germany (who later divorced him) but she had an Auntie who new a Girl called Julie and the funny thing about it is, Julie's Brother was called Caroline!
That's stretching reality a bit too far. You obviously talk bollocks. However, on the off chance that you should be right, lets wish our birds wake us up with a nice cup of tea in the morning.
Max love to the quo, and anyone else who knows how to have fun.
StatusQuo 2 me is (was) a steamin' Parfitt/Lancaster/Coghlan-train on rampage & there were many brilliant things 2 cum IF Rossi hadn't decided he's Mr.Quo!
i love status quo but when lancaster left that was that 4me like just look at them now with that ulgy fucker rinho he is more like the quo than liverpool will win the leg
Very nice! It's very rare to see them play with Alan Lancaster, the former bassist. They're much better when he played in the group. When he didn't play in Status Quo anymore played the group schlagermusic..
F*cking awesome!!!! My first ever concert was Quo at the Glasgow Apollo in 1975 (the greatest venue in the universe ever!!)Keep the classic Quo vids coming!!!!!
Blimey this takes me back. Saw them 4 times between 72 and 76 in me denims, still got 5 albums, great band then, shame they went a bit too poppy for me, still they needed the money for the snorty stuff
i think that, if Status Quo hadnt persisted (with stuff like: In the army now), they would've cemented some kind of iconic position within england's rock hierarchy. As it is: bands are bloody well influenced by them, but as hell are sure not to ever, ever admit to that.
