Me too! Although so many people included Quo said they were better the second year for the final part of the tour; personally, they were far better the first year of The Frantic Four Tour. It was raw, it was just pure, raw Rock N' Roll!
None of them really got the recognition they so deserve(d), great playing by them all... Saw them in Manchester on this tour .... grown men with tears in their eyes as they never expected to see the line up again...
Stunning live version of a classic QUO song. By far the best ever UK rock band. The Frantic Four. The one and only true QUO line up. Period. The magic they produce(d) on stage. Nothing comes even close.
When the album came out they toured the states and came to Detroit. Four guys dressed like blue collar guys, no flash just loud 4/4 timed barre chord rock. I was completely hooked. RIP Rick.
Ich kann mich erinnern, ich war 15 Jahre alt, es war 1979 Status quo in Bremen. Irgendwann während des Konzertes völlige Ruhe, ich schrie Down Down, Rick zeigte mit dem Finger auf mich, und sagte Down Down . Das freut mich noch heute.
Superb live band. We,ve lost Rick, gained Richie but we can never forget what a truly great guitarist that Francis is.. Right up there with the best...
.Quo,s timing and ability to play off each other is awesome, not to mention the fast tempo of the song, as a musician I know it's very rare to have this kind of synchronicity between 4 musicians. That's why they have lasted so long. The bass and drums' fills and sync is incredible.. This is real rock n roll ..no gimmicks or tricks
Understand what you’re saying Sean. They were belittled by so called “proper “ musicians who have no idea how to appreciate the intricacies you so eloquently pointed out. Plus these people haven’t a clue how to fucking Rock ‘n’ roll!!!!
Underrated, my arse they were never underrated. Quo was one of the best live bands to see. No other band could have opened Band Aid like Quo did. Some other fool said the same thing about two time Grammy Award Winner Rickie Lee Jones. The word Underrated is overused. Only a handful of bands have lasted 50 plus years and Quo is one of them.
@@ep9421 '" No other band could have opened Band Aid like Quo did. " Even if they didn't remember doing it!😎 Only ever saw them twice back in the 70s. Once at a Granada cinema in East London when I nearly fell off the balcony, and once at the old Empire Pool in Wembley. That gig was fkn amazing. The first 6 rows of seats were wrecked by all the nutters jumping around with their cardboard guitars! Two van loads of us went from South East London, fuck knows how we got home in one piece we were a bit the worse for wear to say the least, and deaf for 2 days afterwards.

I don't think it was his kind of music.😨😀
Go to a Quo gig even today and the front row is like a school outing. Theres loads of kids... The band have no issues litting the little ones can sit the stage side of the barriers as long as they behave.
I don't care what anyone says about the quo, yes simple riff tunes but they absolutely rocked the world end of discussion....in 40/50 years they still filled stadiums and made what I call a show for them which they did every time...lost rick but you guys kept going...I'll leave it with Rick parfitts statement and he said, "if we can make the world a little better with rock n roll then so be it"..said this in 1991...nice one status quo, you did exactly what it said on the tin, rock n roll👍
He was absolutely fantastic. The drummer of most groups, never seem to get recognition. TBH drumming is the most physically demanding instrument. He did himself proud.
I LOVE THEM. MY GOD THEY ARE TERRIFIC. LONG LIVE ROCK AN' ROLL. Greetings to you all from Argentina and in the old new day of the year,let celebrate with joy and rock everybody. Music releaves pain and make us to transport to another level !! Music is a remedy dear friends. CHEERS TO YOU all and LET 's rockkk . ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That were good times. They were better than we thought. So good that they will never come back, because they were unique and we were there. Thank you guys. Greetings from Lisbon. Rock all over the World forever. Voo da Águia= Eagle flight.
I was lucky enough to see three of the best live bands Slade,Queen ,and of course Status Quo just so glad I grew up in the Era's for music the 60s and 70s and this band was one of the best parts of that.
The kids aren’t in the room MrMotor, they checked out in the mid-80s, they know how it’s done, and it doesn’t need a guitar but an E pill, a sequencer or later a computer and someone who knows how to make beautiful tones and wicked beats that are played in loops…done. No guitar heroes needed.
@@mebeasensei Raves have been around since the late 60,s and evolve . I know the game . This era is exactly like i said , PURE SKILL . Get your sequencer dude to actually play the same thing on 2 different nights , yeh good luck with that unless pre-recorded .cheers
@@MrMotorNerd ..the kids don't care about lil ol me... Skill and hero worship...they haven't for 30 years..They want sound..and beautiful sound. It's like wearing a cool piece of kit..doesn't matter whether you made it or not. You chose to wear it. Look at the top 100 songs of 2020. Almost all made on computers with loops.
@@mebeasensei Good music is good music . I'm not a hater . Just pointing out a great example of analog RnR . Sure it's a song and not 8 hours nonstop but Great bands play 2 hour sets . That's insane craftsmanship
No disrespect to the other musicians who have played with Rossi and Parfitt over the years but this is the real Status Quo and always will be. Spud and Lancaster the best rhythm section, you can tell the difference.
Did 7 of the Frantic Four shows, including the first in Manchester and this final one in Dublin. My only regret is not getting to more of them! Unforgettable nights. RIP Rick.
Down down, prices are down at Coles Supermarkets. The original and best line up of the band - the frantic four when they reunited. They could still perform as good as they ever did. It will never happen again now that Rick and Alan have passed away.
This band will ALWAYS be my first ever music love! The first single I ever bought was Caroline in 1973 and the first ever rock concert I went to was Status Quo in my home town at the Brighton Centre in December 1977 as a 17-year-old. Thanks to the original band at the time, Francis, Rick, Alan and John for those great great memories and music. I bought all of their albums while I was living at home and they were my neighbour's' favourite band ... whether they liked it or not! 🤣🤣🤣
Saw them on that tour November Cardiff. Agree with everything you say, the one and only Quo. Simply one of the best rock bands this country ever produced!
1977 in National Stadium Dublin , best gig I was at for enjoyment. Rocking all over the World was huge at the time, they came on stage and just launched into it , place went bonkers.
Saw these guys three nights in a row at the Apollo in Glasgow in the seventies when they did their live album,will never forget the atmosphere and great songs with forty five hundred times one night lasting over twenty minutes,simply superb.
Saw them on their 1st trip to Australia, 1973. Amazing gig, played a mini festival with Slade (headlining) Caravan, Lindisfarne and a brilliant Aussie blues band, ,Blackfeather. Weirdest line up, but I remember an amazing day. Don Powell on drums for Slade knocked off a bottle of scotch during their 1 hour on stage, blew me away. Great days!
Listen to how good the sound on this video is. You can’t get any better than the original lineup of the band. It will never happen again now that two of those band members have passed away!
I was introduced to these guys when I was 13,some 49 years ago,since that day they ve been my favourite band of all time. I m not going to repeat all that’s been said,except to add that they came in for their fare share of unjust criticism over the years,when I was younger I could never understand why they never fought back,now I m older I realise they did nt need to,their music said it all👍👍😀😀 Thank you guys,rip Rick,the most talented guitar player who never got the recognition he deserved.👍👍😀
Magnifique !!! Comment se lasser de ces morceaux inoubliables ? Toute ma jeunesse !!!! Rien a voir avec ces petits groupes qui se prennent pour des stars.
if you want to knows how attractive the band, see how come their audience enjoy the show. Status Quo always gain the hearts of their fans, their audiences as long as the showtime rolls...amazing
So true Abah, I only went to see them back in the nineties cos my brother needed a lift to the NEC Birmingham. It was a fucking fantastic gig and he evn bought me a beer for taking him 🍺
One of the best live bands ever...no gimmicks no computers just three guitars and a dream set... British Rock at its very best....
Agreed my friend
Yes No BS!!!
Totally agree with both of you 👌🤘🤘
I was grown on listening this great band 👍👍
yes ..
Standlake raceway
R.I.P. Rick and Alan, we miss you. Thanks for the memories.
Only the true Fans appreciate this Love it!!!!
Still as tight as they were back in '75. Incredible.
R.I.P ALAN LANCASTER, ANOTHER GREAT TAKEN FROM US. REST IN PEACE ALAN
Thank you Alan&Rick
We”ll never forget you.
You’re music was a important part of my life
Me too
Thanks för zur f....g Herz Music
Rip Alan ans Rick
What a difference a drummer makes.
JC the man
I reckon.Is that "spud"?
So glad i seen them twice in this line up, true British legends and world top class rockstars.
So underrated....

Saw them 1978, first row. One of the most amazing concerts I ever attended.
First time hearing them! OMG!! These guys are phenomenal!! They should be in the rock n roll hall of fame!!
I'm so glad I was alive with these guys..and Lizzie...and Skynyrd
I was glad i was the last generation to enjoy quo with parfitt❤️ i'm 26 now. My first quo gig was when i turned 10
@@LisaFransenFVD brilliant!
You and me both
None of them really got the recognition they so deserve(d), great playing by them all... Saw them in Manchester on this tour .... grown men with tears in their eyes as they never expected to see the line up again...
the world is a much poorer place without Rick Parfitt in it. Rest in peace Rick.
RIP Alan frantic four getting light on ground now. Keep rocking

The best ever UK rock band? I love them but let’s see, Zeppelin, the Stones, the Who, Queen, Sabbath, the Clash, Dire Straits… The list goes on…
I have always loved the Quo and I lover their crowds.
When the album came out they toured the states and came to Detroit. Four guys dressed like blue collar guys, no flash just loud 4/4 timed barre chord rock. I was completely hooked. RIP Rick.

das waren noch Zeiten!!!
Erinnerungen an meine Jugendzeit ,die besten Songs STATUS QUO , das ist perfekt gespielte Musik, ich höre immer wieder gerne Quo Lieder.
Love the shirt saying „Hauptstadt Rocker“
The original! The Kings of foot stomping boogie rock. It can't get any better than this.
RIP Parfitt & Lancaster! Thanks for all the good times!
OMG, WHST CAN I SAY F****** BRILLIANT, THE ONE AND ONLY QUO, MISS YOU GUYS. 🥰😍🥰😍
The real Quo. The Mad Turk on drums and wee Alan on bass were the real deal.
Someone else said it all....Masterclass.
Superb live band. We,ve lost Rick, gained Richie but we can never forget what a truly great guitarist that Francis is.. Right up there with the best...
This is the Quo we all love
Quo will live on. RIP Rick. Never forgotten. 4 original members rocking it.
Roy Lynes means nothing to you?
All fell apart after Jess Jaworski left.
BRILLIANT , takes me back to 1975 and i was still at school ❤
This is the only status quo and always will be RIP rick and Alan
First heard this 74 or75aaas a kid and loved it. Still love it

I saw them in 1974 at deMontford Hall in Leicestershire soon after the Quo "album was released. Backwater" was always my all time favourite track!
Great to see so many young faces in the crowd.
Rock and roll will never die.
Go to a Quo gig even today and the front row is like a school outing. Theres loads of kids... The band have no issues litting the little ones can sit the stage side of the barriers as long as they behave.
Our Youth we're Beautiful and Full of Laughing and These Guys the Music to All of,Thanks For Good Shapes and Stay Tune ,R.I.P. Rick.......
We were beautiful. Had the best music. Were politically incorrect and life was good.
They are a bunch of old geezers who are professionals. And God bless them.
Music to my 50 plus years ears..
There be nobody else ever like Quo..
So glad I got to see them live..
And my 60 plus ears too, mate
!
Yeah ! These guys are so great they should have been bigger than elvis

if ever good old head banging rock and roll has an anthem, this must be it. Absolutely nails it.
So glad i was there for this . R.I.P Alan and Rick real legends
What a joy to see Coghlan on drums, pure magic.
He was absolutely fantastic. The drummer of most groups, never seem to get recognition. TBH drumming is the most physically demanding instrument. He did himself proud.
Legend!
My fav Band and my first Vinyl ( Live 75 ). I was 8 Years old then. Unfortunately I never saw them live.

Je les ai vu sur scène il y a plus de 40 ans de ça le concert était super aujourd'hui j'ai 64 ans que le temps passe vite
If you didn't get shivers up your spine when Mr R starts strumming you're no Quo fan.
Phenomenal performance.
Goes without saying !!
Or probably dead

Good solid Rock & Roll. If a band opens a legendary concert like Live Aid ( 1985 ), then you know it has achieved success.
Absolutely loved this. I didn't know the original 4 played together so recently .... RIP Rick, love you to bits! xx
A..fkn..men...fantastic
The original Quo sublime, pure 12 gold bars 😍
THE ONE AND ONLY STATUS QUO,
No disrespect to the other musicians who have played with Rossi and Parfitt over the years but this is the real Status Quo and always will be. Spud and Lancaster the best rhythm section, you can tell the difference.
Yes Sir!
shame parfitt and rossi treated them like shit really
Rick wanted it to go on...
It was Francis who wanted it to stop after Dublin.
Rhino is an Ace bass player imho
Roger yes, but the drummer doesn’t even play his original parts correctly, and that’s annoying and ruined the originality of the performance.
Did 7 of the Frantic Four shows, including the first in Manchester and this final one in Dublin. My only regret is not getting to more of them! Unforgettable nights. RIP Rick.
Wish I’d been to as many as you. Dead jealous!
Wow this song just took me on a journey right back to the 70,s when i was a young teenager listening to them , Thanks Quo for really good memories .
And the bell bottom trousers yeeeeehaaaaa
Down down, prices are down at Coles Supermarkets. The original and best line up of the band - the frantic four when they reunited. They could still perform as good as they ever did. It will never happen again now that Rick and Alan have passed away.
Brilliant - one that even Chuck Berry would be proud to own.
Im 61yrs and been followimg them since " Dog of Two Heads" !
I STILL love them as much as i did then! They are AMAZING!
R.I.P. Rick🙏😇
Class
if this song doesnt ROCK you, you probably smell, because you re dead man. what a killer riff
Meine Lieblings Band , Das ist perfekt gespielte Musik, 🙋♂️❤💪

Far better than they ever got credit for. This song is the perfect rock song

No distortion? You're joking?
Plenty of no over the top distortion 😷💀
@@drdre4397 it's gain not distortion.
@@drdre4397 you dont know the difference between gain and distortion?
It is overdrive, plenty of. But it's okay.

I was there, thought the balcony was coming down a couple of times!
I was there too. They had the top balcony bouncing up and down almost 3 ft. This is the QUO. RIP Rick.
So you were one of them that Rossi thought would collapse the balcony with the bouncing!
Tears in me eyes..... such good memories ....
