Awesome. If you read their autobiog - they were completley smacked off their tits when doing this!
Which makes the performance all the more amazing! I think Francis Rossi described the moment as being idolized (for helping with Live Aid) for being at his (and the bands best) yet in truth being at their worst.
The band didn't really exist at the time, Alan Lancaster flew in from Australia to play speially.
Whoever doubts this stunning performance from the Quo, should rather go and listen to Robbie Williams, and leave the serious listening to the rest of us. EXCELLENT contribution, FryskeRocker - thank you.
bladerzuiger lik me ballen achterstevoren .... of je bent gay of dom of niet goed bij je hoofd dit is een klasieker muzieksmaak verschilt maar dit is gewoon mooi... lik me ballen toch maar niet :$
Status Quo are still going strong.Their new cd is the best yhey've done for years. Unfortunately the U.S. have naver really got Quo,but they are legends in the rest of the world.
Well, you know, Rock 'n' Roll is based on the blues structure, which is always made of 3 chords, so in a way, you could actualy say that there is always a similarity in their songs. They also wrote a song called "searching for the fourth chord", so they're making fun of themselves in a way. But who cares if it's always three chords as long as it's the right ones xO
I have t5o say anyone who knows anything about the symantics of musical chords would realise that quo use alot more than three chords in their music ,eg, whatever you want has at least 9 chords inthere scale if you listen to the different riff changes carefully.The biggest percentage of their music hasn more than "3chords"based in them,its not so different from any other rock blues based band,they just stick to a successful "straight from the hip" formula that works,thats all I,m saying..
Theese guys really are (and ere) under apreciated, they rocked my life so far, what I dont get is that they did Rockin all over the world then Caroline, I think it should be the other way, I hope I get to hear there new album woo
I think it was because they were opening. If they had been in the middle of the lineup I think Caroline would have been first, but of the two Rockin all over the world is much better for opening a show.
2 great songs, and trust me when u here rockin all over the world live in the actual place its the best song u can ever hear, trust me I know, i saw them live
Just out of curiosity wen did fransis start taking over from Burt on vocals. My theory is, Rossi a afukin better singer lmao, and he's alot better naw than he ever was b4!
You know, I'd like to dispute this but I can't. I sang "Pictures of Matchstick Men" on karaoke and really, I thought it'd be at least cute. Unfortunately not though :| ah well!
Does it matter what 300 million think in among 6 billion? Not so much..rock belonga every cell alive, not just unka sam

Well actually Springsteen is a big fan of Fogerty
so when he played some ccr songs allongside fogerty, i think springsteen must have had the time of his life.
also he is on john's new album, doin a duet from the everly brothers./

This is good, but type in "Springsteen rockin all," and watch and hear Bruce play it in 1993 in a Stadium in Stockholm, Sweden.
For me, that's the ultimate complement - to John Fogarty in this case - to have Bruce Springsteen cover your song.
ernie19081975 2 years ago
I wonder how the song would have sounded if John Fogarty hadn't written it and therefore it didn't exist?

It's not a stupid comment! Quo are one of the few bands who never learnt the fourth chord...and still made a good career out of it ;-).
