[garethtm1]

I was in the cage for the filming of this and Quo were great sports, chatting and posing for pics in the dressing room afterwards. They even gave me some of their sandwiches!

[SuperRockH]

Happy Birthday Sam Botta imdb, congratulations on "Live Fearless with Sam Botta" Produced by Movie Tech Studios Hollywood

[georgesmoulin]

Quo on Tiswas - a conjunction of great things.

[TheBengiebob]

brill..and the lads took it in great spirit....quoooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooo

[cc75frenchygirl]

they were actually singing though but just had the guitar track right?

[mies766]

hahaha, this is real funny. Never heard of 'Tiswas' but i like it!

[mies766]

hahaha, this real funny. Never seen it or ever heard of tiswas, but it looks funny to me,

A Dutchman

[Nikodemus091]

sehr gemein aber lustig

[Dillboy]

Tiswas was the best show to grow up with, it made my Saturday mornings very happy!

[leiken26]

Just a classic tv Moment. Quo are the best

[ebbarosa]

Ha,ha,ha, so funny:)) How many big "rock groups" doing somethings like this!!!

They have agood sens of humor!!!!

Alvays best !! I love them:))

[renegadefm]

Gurdundula kinda seemed perfect for that kind of thing didn't it?

I couldn't imagine them playing a fast song and having buckets of water and pies thrown at them.

Although it would have been better in another way if they could have used the show to promote something from their new album at the time, I don't want to hurt you anymore seems quite suitable lyrically.....hehe!!

[cc75frenchygirl]

what's the name of the song? I can't stop watching this. I mean it gets funnier every time i watch it! i love francis

[diffendar]

It is called Gerdundula, from the album Dog of two head, 1971.

[music4uguru]

i guess the most important part is that their all 60+ and so am i and we are all still20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jenj555]

I was in the cage too! Right at the front in the middle. They had to use a pre-recorded backing track with all that water about - the amps were dummies & were completely hollow!

[cc75frenchygirl]

were you the girl in the yellow shirt?

[rockerstar101]

yeah i spoke to rhino about that, he said that they didn't fancy being electricuted so they used a backing track. he said it was great fun to be part of though

[Sinjerou]

Does the main singer say to Chris 'I'll kill you' at 1:01 or is it a lyric i've misinterpreted.

[cc75frenchygirl]

he does say that. funny. i love when francis gets the pies on his face, but why would they throw water on the guitars? didnt they break?

[Sinjerou]

Good to know i'm not laughing at something i've completley got wrong and thats what i was thinking why didn't the guitars break, the pies in the face were funny i love the Phantom

[rockerstar101]

yeah he says it, the band have a long history with Chris, they used to get drunk & party together and chris has been known to attend Quo gigs

[Dafsel02]

This is realy amazing X")

QUO!

[yawroc]

Truly the best British rockers ever Quo, Ya so funny lol!!!!!

[shynyanga]

how did i miss this?good ol quo,game for a laugh.best band in world in my eyes.thanks for posting.

[QuoRockerChez]

haha! this is ace!

i hate the song :/... but you cant have everything!

it looked like rick was getting abit pissed off wen they threw water at him lol! but as usuall they were so entertaining and didnt go all boring and arsey.

rock on quo we love you :)

[EzPz8]

how can you not like this song? better than using the same chords in every other song TUT on you!

[simonredted]

The vocals are live but the music is pre recorded.

Legendary :D

rofl

[statuswhoch]

great vid rock on guys

[Factnotfictionpeople]

Chances are, they were doing a live voice track over the recording of the rest of it (pretty obvious I'd say!) but it looks like everybody had a good time. Oh for those pre-Health and safety days............

[CCC119]

lmao i'm just wondering with all that water and all that electricity if they get a lil jolt from it

[2206411411]

Either they used ultrapure water (doesn't conduct) or the stagehands were geniuses. Possibly both. I am very, very impressed Quo continued even with the Phantom Flan Flinger. How many bands today could handle it?

[CCC119]

lol so true lmao i don't think i could have ... they must have an awesome sense of humor and much much tolerance lol

[BMXBOBO]

there not really playing there dummy equipment and guitars are just copys! go quo woooo

[CCC119]

lol i was wonderin about that cuz i'd be pretty upset if they were throwing water and stuff on my guitars and such lol

[Factnotfictionpeople]

And the live vocals into live mikes? :-)

[BMXBOBO]

good point there real mics hmmm maybe water proof lol

[loudieuk]

They were on TISWAS loads 30 years ago and it was exactly the same as this.

[loudieuk]

Anyone moaning obviously cant remember TISWAS in all its glory.

The whole point is its supposed to be stupid.

[sadface1991]

What the F**k !

i've never seen them performence like this, think its awful ! :/

[szymondworski]

what is that?!

[2206411411]

Tiswas was an all-live early Saturday morning show for kids, with a great many kids present. It was extremely unpredictable, daring and slapstick. Oh, and Iron Maiden also went on there. They got slimed. It's not that different from today. Today, bands aim music at young kids as well as more mature listeners. Back then, kids watched Tiswas and everyone else was either Old Grey Whistle Test or Top of the Pops. If you wanted the kids, you wanted Tiswas and you wanted "childish" humour.

[hwajones]

this is pathetic, im a quo fan but this is a joke, wise up guys, do you need publicity this bad??

[plecman]

Do you know what Tiswas was all about?? No..there having a laugh!! as for pathetic..it`s not as pathetic as your comments..Keep On Rockin` lads we love ya.

[bstard42]

Great video. I missed this when it was on TV. Status Quo are the best. I can't belive how bald poor Francis looks when the water gets thrown over him!

[KHOUVNJR]

LhovethisSong

[chaeppeli]

This is all fake equipment, haha :D Amplifiers are like 10 cm thin.. and I don't recognise any of Quo-like guitars..

Quo are great!

[danthediesel]

Didn't one of the band say "I'll kill ya " to CT when he threw water over the equipment?

[timechannel]

Yeh Fran says

[gilljoy]

big L.O.L! WAT A GREAT POST!

[timechannel]

was Rick saying "Chill out Fran please" haha

[MelieStar]

Whoa - do you still want to be a rock star after seeing this? ;-) Rossi even sounds & looks a bit scared when singing "The one I left behind"

[gazmufc09]

absolutley ace quo = great sports you wouldn't see anyone else do that

[XXXXLBill]

ain't that the truth

[RedDragon30000]

What's the name of the song Status Quo are playing? or is it just a one off?

[rickyguitar123456]

it´s Gerdundula from the Dog of two Head album

[XXXXLBill]

Gerdundula, look for "XS all areas" album, and a few others

[markhorneyuk]

Brillient, pure brillient, I couldn't stop laughing, it's not everyday you get to see one of your favorite rock bands get slapped in the face with a custard pie.

[warriorvermin]

19Rachel94 - Tiswas Reunited will be out on DVD June 25 I believe.

[Triumphrob]

Fantastic, Quo are a funny bunch!!

[Jeanzqueen]

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!

[timechannel]

Haha Fran is not enjoying this is he !! - could mess up his hairstyle . Should've played "Dirty Water" would have been more appropriate!!!!!!!!

[19Rachael94]

does any1 know if it will be on again coz i missed it :(

?????

[mccartneysmistress]

I was in The Cage!! You can see me in the left hand corner of the Cage in a green top!!! Look carefully. You see me quite well from 2 minutes 23 seconds onwards!!

Quo were great to talk to inbetween filming and even threw water over us. Rick said we weren't as messy as they used to get!!! Great fun being in The Cage!!!

[SpikeMatthews]

It was funny then, and it's even funnier now.

If ye tried to flan Pete Doherty, he'd probably try & snort it...

[AdamHollandPVFC]

Brilliant!!!!

[warriorvermin]

Sheer brilliance. Such good sports. Can't see todays "stars" subjecting themselves to that.

[wahey1]

LMAO!! great stuff

[raglan67]

top class

[nortofacto]

That's BRILLIANT!!! Go QUO!!! Tiswas ruled!

[allyplumb]

[quoling]
