Alan Lancaster was living in Australia by this time and didn't always come up for TV promos.

Alan Lancaster had a fall out with Rossi and Parfitt and left the band - soon to be followed by the great John Coghlan so ending the classic Quo line up.

@nik1969100 JC left the band before AL.

[Freakster1970]

I had a concert poster of these guy's in 75 or 76 on my bedroom wall had no idea who they were but I liked the name and poster ?

Looks a bit weird though without a bass player. It's not the only video where Alan is missing. The original "Rockin'All Over The World" vid is another one. In that one Lancaster is replaced by a lifesize puppet. There's also "A Mess Of Blues" without Alan and a Top Of The Pops performance where Quo do Marguerita Time (a song which Alan hated) with Jim Flea from Slade on bass.

Is that Gilbert o Sullivan on the keyboards?

[aldeboarn]

Its Alan Ldressed as a keyboard player....

[mepartoooo]

where's alan?

[rockerstar101]

I think (don't hold me to this), this is around the time when Alan and Francis started having the arguments. Alan didn't see this song as a Quo song, Alan prefered the 'Matcho' Quo songs like Rain, Big fat mama, Roll over lay down etc.
