- The mighty Quo live in 1970 on a TV show called Doing Their Thing.
An early live clip of the band looking like a bunch of bad-asses. Spud in particular looks like he's ready to punch somebody - presumably Rossi for noodling away endlessly. Great stuff. - Hudba
I've got tinnitus and spondulytis from head banging to the Quo in my younger years but it was worth it.
i am 69 years old and until last week only knew these guys as a one hit wonder. (matchstick men)....since then have been watching and listening a LOT to them....f ing awesome....this tune blew me away .... hooked up the computer to a stereo with 6 quality speakers and almost went full volume...shook the whole house....hope my neighbors liked it.....
I’m 67, check out ‘Dust to Gold’.
ha ha where you been hiding, one hit wonder!, spent more weeks in UK charts than all but a very few other rock bands ever!
You missed a load !!
Dude l m 10 yrs younger & was
a Quo nut during their heyday,
but l never saw any of this
early footage.
Status Quo des grands parmi les plus grands groupes de rock des années 70 J'aime beaucoup, j'ai toujours autant de plaisir à les écouter
Almost 10 minutes playing a shuffle. That's gotta be some sort of a world drumming record. 🙂
Their drummer was a machine!
The lead guitar by Francis Rossi just brilliant so under rated is his guitar work, 👍🎸🇬🇧👍
Couglan is fantastic.To keep that shuffle up that long takes some doing!
Like a machine
Best ever band.
buenisimo
Spud is a Left-Handed person that plays Drums Right-Handed, in fact so is Ringo Starr.
For fuck sake it’s COGHLAN, is that so difficult?😖🤬
Couglan could do a great shuffle and keep it going the whole concert, what a drummer 🤘🤘
COGHLAN MATE…..COGHLAN

🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, ya don't really hear a whole lot about him, but he's an animal on the kit. Very underrated and very underrecognized.
That's how the pros are supposed to do it. The audience half past dead, but we gonna rock it out anyway!!🎵🎶🎸
The crowd is actually told to be calm because this show is being taped, less interference. The same thing with DEEP PURPLE CHILD IN TIME crowd say quiet
For those who play guitar,bass or drums you know how hard it is to play at this pace! Johns drumming phenomenal . The endurance of his playing among his bandmates was outstanding. people in the crowd must of been on 714s, no reactions.
I know. I was rockin' out listening to this.
@@liberalslayer9831 🤘
Incredible shuffle drummer!!!
This is there best period with the original and best line up.People should check out there early stuff,so good
Ladies and Gentlemen..... THE REAL STATUS QUO
ORIGINAL!!!
Great drummer. The best musician of this band
Seems like John Bonham.
Not at all but keeps the rythim very good
Best drummer in the band!
I was 14 and in secondary school when this was filmed.... I'm retired now, that shows how old this is. R.I.P. Rick & Allan, sorely missed.
The one and only Quo.
Francis is a great lead, but in my opinion he has never had the same power behind than with
Rick, Alan and John. Never the same without them three. Although thought Pete kircher done good job on drums. RIP Rick, Alan.
Same for me.....got into Quo after hearing Paper Plane on John Peel show and buying Piledriver.
Love that album Phil... First album I ever bought,
Love the Quo , was 7 in 1970 , how long was 45 hundred times 😀and I wish I was retired ☺️
What a performance by the one and only John Coghlan!!!!
Breaks a stick at 9:12 (flies away behind him) and replaces it smooth as you like. What a man!
And another at 9:17! You wouldn't want to be sitting behind him!
The best Quo line-up. ...it's a shame about the 80's crap they did and everything after. ..
Yeah this lineup of the mighty Quo has now gone and the power has gone away from the songs 🎵 😐
They were _awesome_ for about 10 years, but their new material petered out rapidly after 1980, and it took until their "Franatic Four" reunion to rediscover their mojo. Now Rick is gone and they will never be the same again. :(
Reminds me Queen. Earlier material was proper rock. Later they became an embarrassing commercial band.
The pioneers of true rock
My sentiments exactly.
Kick ass performance by the lads. Ricks singing is so good here, and his crunchy rhythm tone has some balls, Johns really playing those drums, its hard to do that with that kind of intensity for nearly 10 minutes, awesome stuff, the early Quo is the real Quo, huge fan of 1970 to 79 era. Piledriver, Hello, Quo, On the Level, Blue for You and Live! are all solid and killer albums. R.i.p Rick Parfitt
They really were a fabulous band during that period
Keep in mind that it wasn't just the 10 minute version for John. In them days the song varied from 25 - 30 ish minutes o0f live performance.
Sweat hog no sticks, had to be there show is one of the few that could keep it Rollin like this for 10 mins. Maybe buddy miles?
RIP,❤ ALAN LANCASTER E RITCHIE PARFITT. ❤
Cant believe how rossi never gets mentioned more as a great guitarist, so underrated its criminal
serious?
Rossi is good but in the 80s he got sloppy for me. I guess coke is a thing tbh. It fucks your mind and like Alan said makes you feel invincible at some stage in ya life. Rossi killed this band off.
@@josephbuckley5961 I think you are wrong here, just my opinion to say. Rossi maybe was sloppy in the 80s (and a master in others), but we still have all the 60s and 70s and up even today (guess you don´t know about that) there... But if you want to stay in the 80 and listen to Alan, feel welcome.
King of the one string solo/riff, arguably.
At Live Aid Rossi was the rhythm guitarist and Parfitt was the lead.
The Audience stayed perfectly still. !!!!
I know ?
Still, they were in awe and spellbound. People were rather introverted but what happened inside was powerful.
What the fuck were they on in those days?
First band me and my mate ever saw. October 3rd, 1973, at Sheffield City Hall. My ears are still ringing. Reyt band.
just briliant, early 70s Quo were magnifcent.
Unbeatable!
I know the drummer is looking around thinking, are we done yet, I can't feel my hands.
Look for one of his drum solos. Totally awesome
John Coghlin is a legend
👍😂😂
R.I.P PARFITT!!
John Coghlan is super
This shows how perceptions of appreciations have vastly changed, audiences then were morally and socially restricted, that doesn't mean they weren't appreciating thus performance. Now fast forward to 2023....the audience would be on their feet head banging and air guitaring all over the place...great performance.
L
In the years 1970-1973, Status Quo was truly shining... I love this tune!
I thought they were great up until the live album,but yeah this stuff is great
@@colinrgage I love the live album.
john coughlan seriously under-rated drummer. The man was a human metronome! Seriously, quo really were a great outfit in the early 70's. You gotta try ignore what they are now and remember them this way
Omg I didn't know Rick was such an amazing singer!!!!!!!
check out..are you growing tired of my love....his voice is amazing on that..slow ballad song
It's just too easy to forget how damn good they were in those days. Fantastic stuff!!
THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!
I agree. This one of the best Quo songs.
Ah the memories... I spent hours doing air guitar to this tune when I was 17
Ma kellys greasy spoon great album
I was 17 years old and I need the complete Dance Floor. Is it really me, Gotta Go Home. More than 50 years ago. I like them, Rick is already gone. Olli
People never widely talked about it but Rick Had a great set of pipes
And a powerhouse rhythm guitarist.
And sang well too lolz
Incredible time keeping by John on drums, you gotta get into the zone to do this. Try it yourself and you know what I mean. Brilliant Quo piece.
Status Quo's style was in those days ahead of current time. This is pure Rock'n Roll.
Not a hippie band, great Rock band. The Style they perform they gig remains me a lot of The Ramones.
Good Rock and Roll band!!!
yeah its kind of punk attitude! we dont care about people listening or playing fine song for a tv audience - we just do what we do. simple and mean.
Timeless Talent
Two favourite bands, Ramones and Quo, thought I was alone, hope you are still alive, ha ha
Still a hippie band, thank God. John Coghlan bursting with power. Really great, a rare tune with tremendous energy.
There were loads of British bands around 1969/70 doing this sort of stuff. Frankly there were much better bands around.
You now realise how great this music really is. After listening too the dross we've been listening to this week at major festivals . Timeless classic. ✌️✌️✌️
Glad the 2 Black Lads were there...at least they looked like they were alive !!!!!
I had the same thought :)
I don't think you where allowed to move from your seat back then.
Fantastic! A lot of what you hear on this song ended up in their live versions of 45 Hundred Times and Roadhouse Blues.
The transition from Psych Matchstick Men to UK Boogie Gods! Fantastic clip!!!
Rock and roll trance
I used to call it Freakno Groove. Seemed apropos at the time 🤷♂️ 🤩 🔊
Wish I'd seen them in this era ...fantastic..RIP Rick ..missed so badly ...x
I did Sharon.In Liverpool Empire many moons ago.Brilliant.Jim.
Alas i lived down down on an island south island new zealand
I did quite a few times. One of the best love bands around then.
I’m glad to say I saw them twice, once at the Red Lion in Leytonstone in 1971 and again in 1973 at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester. Brilliant both times.
That riff is going to be in my head for weeks
I first watched this a month ago. I keep coming back to it. It's one of the best live performances I have seen. I can't get it out of my head. All I keep thinking is what would have been the reaction if they had played at Woodstock and closed with this. It would have been legendary.
One of the best Quo songs. Far far... underestimated by a lot of people.
Haha - the best thing about this endless guitar noodling is the attitude of the whole band.
WOW, I've been a Quo fan since the 70's and I can honestly say that this is the first time I have ever heard this Quo tune. OMFG, Couglan was out on his feet at the end of that, amazing live performance.
A fan since the 70’s should at least get the name right……..it’s COGHLAN mate
@@redrheino Oooerrr, missus
Wonderful status quo, driving them chords home, brilliant band,
I love that rumble of Rick's guitar and the constant crashing on John's ride cymbal. This is exactly how I want to see and hear Status Quo...
It drives me crazy, the mind-blowing songs and jams and musicianship in the early years before rock audiences became educated and aware of just what they were experiencing. What an incredible jam by the the Frantic Four, plus 1. One of the best jams in rock history. And the boys were 21 years old.
Love the way all of the members here are deep into the music, literally heads down playing beautifully! In tune with each other! Rick’s voice is brilliant!!
They are all stoned. That's why the heads are down
@@MrLinki1212I was just about to say this!
Very good quality for 1970 to be honest.
BBC had clips this good quality by then, but were skinflints with the video tape and wiped most stuff or transferred it to awful quality B&W film. Not much first generation quality material left from 1970 itself, except some In Concert and a few not-so-live TOTP episodes.
There was good quality long before this, it was just more expensive then plus as the other reply mentioned a lot of original footage was wiped and/or transferred to inferior quality media.
this is a great song......not in the army now!!
Just listen Status Quo "In my Chair" Great!!!
The audience is like
"Ey, what happened to Matchstick Men?"
the one and only Francis Rossi.....Status Quo, one of my all-time favourite bands..The Best Live Performances in Rock Music History...Legends..
Erm, Its Rick Parfitt thats singing you idiot
@@jamesmccabe1702 but it is Rossi who geven the gitar silo's,
For fellow nostalgia TV and Quo heads ……. “Doing Their Thing was a short lived ITV series. It ran between July and September 1970. The format was a group playing a set of their current and older songs for 25 mins. The show featured groups including Marmalade, Mungo Jerry & Status Quo.”
Status Quo. The original Shoe Gazers.
I know , good point! Are they pre- emo?
That was a marathon!
They never stop running these guys even when in heaven it's in the soul. 🤘
Das ist das geilste,was ich je auf You Tube gesehen Hab!!!Wie geil waren Status Quo eigentlich mal?Ich geh komplett kaputt!!!!
It's sounding like they were on Woodstock : The best quo ever !!
Boy oh boy.. I wish those days were back again. The greatest rock group ever.
Absolute legends! great to listen to their music no matter how many times you do.
The chord change was scary. Great stuff, thank you.

Never seen or ever heard this track thanks for uploading
Fantastic. This is how you get success, by working hard and playing and wriring your own stuff.
Not by appearing on a shallow overhyped X Factor game show.
Damn right. May the gods smile on you all day long.
BM
I can still listen to this for 100 years, hel yeah
For me the greatest Band on this time, Teenager Years and yet to

This is real Status Quo👍
Quo at their best, let`s rock!
They were fantastic in them days didn't get to see them till 78 and many times after even went over to Belgium for one of there gigs 👍

Status ouo szkoda stary skład się sypie 😭Ricky teraz Alan) niech żyje 💪Francis i john 👍
i've bin a quo fan since down down, but this is 1st time i have heard this. love it. wish they done it at there gigs
I have seen them three times here in Sweden. First time was on Gröna Lund in Stockholm. I was lucky enough to find a pole that i could take a steady grip around and that was just a few meter from stage. When they entered the stage
Francis Rossi asked "are you alright" yeah, guess three times.
Damn. I’m today’s years old on this song.
when quo were a mean-ass rock band and men were men.........
harryur
This era was so much better than their later material
Like how the crowd are getting into it !!!!!
Damn this is good music I only have heard of them mentioned by other bands but never checked them out so better than 99.9% of what's around now
Stell Dir vor, 10 Minuten lang nur E-Dur und das kommt dabei heraus...was für ein grandioser musikalischer Marathon...!
BEST STATUS OUE EVER!!!!!!
I love the long length ass kickin songs, thanks to youtube and uploaders for this great song!
So true! Cant find it on iTunes 😢😢... is it on an album (live album)? This version I mean? Would appreciate a hint.
Such a nice well behaved audiance , LOL .First heard Quo doing , going down the dustpipe , The first album I bought was ma kellys greasy spoon . Still got their albums , just listen to them on CD with earphones on , Brilliant . Thanks for posting .
No one dances? This rocks and no one moves!
I can listen to this on loop for the next 100 years .
What a superb song !!
Хотя это выглядит просто, но это круто и это вставляет! Молодцы!
Да, и таких уже не будет ,умных хулиганов...
Just imagine 1970 with this tune phew , i was only eleven but great
Saw them in the early 70s at Stockton on Tees ABC. They played to a packed house and were brilliant. Good memories, great band. RIP Rick Parfitt.
That was a turning point for Quo when they had dropped that smooth and poppy look, put up rough image of bad boys and begun making boogie.. Those times were great

@@terrykeeley2869 👍👍👍
was 2 year old then, & was starting to be a Quo fan,!!! / bring back the 70s,!!!

Oh! How I miss QUO!!! This ism how, as a 79 year old I will apways remember and love them. OK Rossi does go on but there is a longer version. Seek it out.
Without words! ♡👍
Do you like Status Quo? I absolutely love them, especially their early performances. If you really want to listen to some rock 'n' roll, Status Quo should be your go-to. They've been delivering top-quality music for years. This video is a recording from 1970 when the band was at the peak of their blues-rock sound. It is a magnificent feeling to watch what these exceptional guys almost pushing 80 have been performed in their youth. Especially John Coghlan, who's now 77 years old, is putting on an incredible show. His drumming seems like a machine with arms working separately from his body. Maintaining that rhythm flawlessly for 10 minutes at this speed must be quite challenging and tiring, but Coghlan manages it. Alan Lancaster, with his baby face, is as wonderful as ever; watching him is such a pleasure. His performance in 'Roadhouse Blues' was incredibly impressive. Unfortunately, he lost his battle with multiple sclerosis at the age of 72 in 2021, leaving a significant void not only in the British music world but in the global music scene.
I must mention that the British undeniably had a significant influence in the rock music genre, and I have enormous respect for this rich cultural heritage. In this video, Rick Parfitt looks so young that it's hard to believe he's no longer with us. But the demon of alcohol took him too, and he left us at the age of 68 in 2016. His performance here is nothing short of amazing! In the video, you'll mainly see three long-haired blond heads leaning forward and Coghlan playing the drums like crazy. There are five things that caught my attention in this video: John Coghlan's determination towards the end, where he breaks his drumsticks twice due to his powerful strikes, his intense glares (sometimes they're quite intimidating), Francis Rossi hardly lifting his head except for one moment during the performance, Roy Lynes calmly playing the organ, and the audience sitting like sticks with very little movement in this lively music, except for a few sporadic bursts. That's the profile of people in the '70s, never letting go of their seriousness. The recurring main theme in the background and guitar and organ solos will leave you breathless. It's almost like a time when we feel the sorrow and regret that those days are gone and won't come back. The legendary musicians and music of that era are truly 'amazing' in my opinion!
Great performance
What can I say.
So much drive
The crowd look absolutele riveted!
Keyboardist before he left, icing on the Quo, beyond bad, thanks for sharing,
