Bob Young on harmonica. Bob was Status Quo's Roadie and unofficial member of the band, he played the harmonica on several of their recordings. Bob was also a writer and co-writer of Status Quo's material, he was involved in the writing of :- In My Chair, Gerdundula, Mean Girl, Paper Plane, Break the Rules, Mystery Song, Living on an Island, Caroline, Down Down, Roll Over Lay Down and Don't Waste My Time.
Look up the Young and Moody Band - Micky Moody on lead guitar and Cozy Powell on drums! Amazing performance of “Don’t do that” featuring the unlikely pairing of Lemmy on bass and the Nolan Sisters on backing vocals!
ALAN CHARLES LANCASTER otherwise known as NUFF, has passed away in Sydney, his home for 45 years. The founding member and the backbone of STATUS QUO had been suffering from Multiple Sclerosis for many years. Alan battled on bravely, performing at QUO's Reunion gigs in 2013 and 2014. Even though he had MS, Alan's performance and his vocals were the strongest of the three. My favourite member of QUO is Alan Lancaster. I had the pleasure of having a beer and a smoke with Alan at a Sydney pub gig, in Five Dock, when he had The Lancaster Bombers and The Lancaster/Brewster Bands in the late 80's. We had a longer chat at The Lewisham Hotel as well. These were dirty, grungy hotels, though this didn't phase the great man of the people. Alan was the most beautifil man, very humble, down to earth and a great guy to talk with and have a laugh. Vale Alan ( Nuff ) Lancaster RIP mate, you were one of the greatest Rockers of all time.
You're right except there's nothing simple about QUO I like to think of myself as a life long musician but I can't quite crack this amazing code. Long may they rock 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Ahh! The Original Quo line-up. Frank Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Alan Lancaster and John Coghlan on Drums. Nobody gives these guys the credit for their longevity. Purple just had their 50th anniversary, yet I think this lot have been around just as long... if not longer. Always had a soft spot for the Quo since I was 7. That's (God help me) 50 years ago too! Good old school 12 bar chug. Love it. Thanks for this makellys
Rubbish, what is this underrated or 'credit' that social media puts out. Of course they got credit, they were huge in the 70s, started out '67 or '68 with Pictures of Matchstick Men. Can't go wrong with Quo. Credit, well money in the bank.
some exceptions, hold you back, again and again, whatever you want, Dear John and just before 2000 I also liked 20 wild horses. But in fact it stopped immediatly after wild side of life
@@KingpinTBM yeah ok I will admit most of them are great bands but personally I can't stand Pink Floyd and never bothered to listen to Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath
@@grahamturner7759 I myself have never listened to Black Sabbath or Pink Floyd but they're still great and I acknowledge what they did for rock music, and I'm gonna pretend you didn't say you never listened to Zeppelin.
The early days of Status Quo are brilliant. The had to be a succes, and indeed they did! The LP "Ma Kelly's greasy spoon" is in songs and name of the album a way of making music that will never be copied! Just love it!
What's incredible is that they are playing live and you see no difference with the record. They are great musicians that do not cheat, they really can play what you hear.
Mine too Sally! I remember my mate and I singing this at work whilst carrying a 30 foot long 4-inch wide pipe on our shoulders to get welded...amazing time. Think I was about 19 or 20?
Its Funny,but looking at Roy Lynes...(Great musician) i have often thought that if anyone didn`t know,he could actually have been mistaken for Andy Bown,in his much younger days.....Just my take on it...
Remember buying this on a secondhand scratched 45 in about 1975 when I was getting into them. I played the scratched single that much, I still hear the scratches even on a CD version! They're ingrained into my brain.
Heard Down The Dustpipe th first-time back in 1970. Been a massive Quo fan after all these years and now my grandkids love quo. Sad day when Rick passed away.
Emma jb: I was wondering how far down I'd have scroll down before I got to the obligatory and ridiculous "underrated" comment🙄. And you didn't disappoint.
This take's you back. Listen to this as a little kid in Sweden... My favorite band.. And now.. almost 50 years later listening to this. Still the same three chord sound. Still so beautiful basic. Pure Rock' roll
Now this is the true quo, followed them since 1971 R I P Rick and thanks mate for some truly great memories of all the venues I visited following status quo, the halcyon days of the seventies when the Rick, Francis, Allan, John where at there rocking BEST🎸🎸🎸🎸🎤
I like that song very much♡ Quo always seems totally eased and kind during her appearances. They have apparently understood themselves by each other also well. No evil looks or gestures. RIP. Rick! Thank all of you that you have accompanied me with your music for so many years. 🎵🎸🎤
My dear Uncle introduced me to the Status Quo many a year ago. So happy he did. God rest "Kipper". The music and memories are forever. And an RIP for Rick. Such a loss.

19.6.70, played in my Dad's barn in Mid Wales. They turned up in the afternoon and I played football with them before Mum did tea. This song was in the charts so cost the organisers a few extra quid. They were double booked that night and drove out as people were still coming in.
What a band. Rossi Parfitt Lancaster Coghlan Bob Young (harmonica) Andy Bown (keyboards) **Tom Parker on keyboard for the Quo album in 1974 The best line up from 1968 through to the late 70's.

Best songs ever Rossi/young
Watching this brings tears to my eyes. They were so young, but then again, so was I. At 67 I'm still loving this.
Me too Phil at 65yrs old, absolutely the best band ever ❤

RIP mate, you were one of the greatest Rockers of all time.
Thank you for this comment.
Agree - always liked Alan's vocals on their early stuff.
I always thought he was Alan bomber Lancaster
Agree ! He was my favorite member of the band, having said that the original 4 man band were the best !!!
You were priveleged, my friend.
I hadn't heard that he had passed.
How can anyone not like a bit of simple foot tappin' head noddin' boogie like this? Just brilliant!
This is one of the better Status songs.
Good music with great beat, old rock n roll style like chuck berry, great stuff!
yes it does not need to be complicated 👍
You're right except there's nothing simple about QUO
I like to think of myself as a life long musician but I can't quite crack this amazing code.

John Coghlan on drums...........so underrated......
Quo from 70-75 were simply amazing.
Saw them live at Manchester Kings Hall, 1974. The blew the place apart. Best gig I ever went to.
Too true. My favourite band when I discovered rock…always felt they went a little too pop for me
My god they were so young ! i was a teen head banging to their music every chance i could ,rock and roll never ages,i am still doing it at 71
I reckon they are 20 to 21 years old here.
@@doggod07 considering they were born '46 - '49 you're about right
I LOVED 1970, I wish I could go back....
Love how the harmonica player steps back after his solo like, "Yep, that was badass and you know it."
People forget early Quo was brilliant !!!
R.I.P RICK !!
Rite. No
Yes, yes, yes!!! The older songs are pure Quo! LG
Absolute Gold bro 👍
Nothing's in vain !
Neither was his contribution to the Mighty Quo . Brill !
True Quo fans never forget

Yeah, they lost me at Rockin All Over The World too...
@@philturner1242 And in fact Rocking all over the world was not a very good cover from a great John Fogerty song
Probably my favourite Quo song and I still believe one of the best bands England ever produced
England has produced far greater bands lol Beatles,Stones,Zeppelin,Kinks,Queen,The Who,Cream,Pink Floyd, The Clash, Black Sabbath etc....

Is right mate
My all-time favourite Quo song. Reminds me of the best years of my life.
Needs to be played at 5 AM in a lorry as day is dawning in mid summer. Superb!
Written by my mate Carl Groszmann from Millmerran Qld Aus.....RIP.

Remember rocking to this in my bedroom with my tennis racket happy days
The only true quo lineup .
Great track, always a favorite. Bless you Rick Parfitt for the joy you brought us fans.
I agree with you 💯 👍
Sleep well Rick
John Coghlan's drumming: It doesn't get any better. EVER!!!
What's incredible is that they are playing live and you see no difference with the record. They are great musicians that do not cheat, they really can play what you hear.
It's not too challenging to be fair ...

I'm the same with a Steve Hillage album, there was a scratch on the vinyl that I still hear now on the CD 😀
So long Rick,you lived your dream and will be remembered as a legend in the Quo army.
Spud keeping it all together........under rated drummer
Bloody good times back then!
One of their best in my opinion. the start of great things. for the Quo.
Heard Down The Dustpipe th first-time back in 1970. Been a massive Quo fan after all these years and now my grandkids love quo. Sad day when Rick passed away.
I remember status quo from 1967 it was hard to play like them
It's just incredible harmonica solo! 1:09
The old songs are the best! But the listeners seem to have been glued.
I think Quo are incredibly underrated. SO MANY FANTASTIC SONGS.
Emma jb: I was wondering how far down I'd have scroll down before I got to the obligatory and ridiculous "underrated" comment🙄. And you didn't disappoint.
In the 70s....since 1990 all.they did was Medleys and album fillers
Not underrated in the UK, we loved them here.
Coughlan playing the shuffle. Brilliant!
Classic Quo! Saw them do this at The Marquee after the release of Dog of Two Head. Then with Piledriver they really exploded.
What a song, and to quote Francis Rossi, he could've been serving Ice cream all over London!
RIP Rick Parfitt, Thankyou for the music!
Danced many evenings at the youth club to this some of the best years of my life.❤
Real music right here
Hi vor everRock n Roll i love this Band since i was zwelf

Great Band.
Rick's harmony is sooo nice on this.

Absolutely loved this song as a kid. Love the hair!!
My cousin Carl Groszmann wrote this song.
seen em live in Germany twice. Sound the same as on records. amazing.
Good old memories
Early Quo - love it!
Sad that no-one has mentioned the original keyboard player - Roy Lynes - is playing on this video
Good old Ricky, no one rocked and lived the lifestyle like him.
placid renegade . er yeah they did. thats why theyre dead. cocaine. im suprised actually that eric clapton is still with us.
placid renegade . no but theyre all dead cos they snorted or injected drugs in themselves.

@@tinajaneoxnam8132 This kind of rock never dies, it just gets better and better. Hope you're doing well, greetings from England :)
My favourite tune by quo is forty five hundred times
I might play it now after I've listened to down the dust pipe
My introduction to Quo at the age of 9. Loved them ever since
Wow that's fantastic too hear and see happy happy days classic always love this song it's fantastic too hear love it 👍👍👍💎❤️☀️🍷
i do, im glad young people like this music
Still have the original vinyl single I bought when I was still a nipper back at school.
It never gets old!
Now this is the true quo, followed them since 1971 R I P Rick and thanks mate for some truly great memories of all the venues I visited following status quo, the halcyon days of the seventies when the Rick, Francis, Allan, John where at there rocking BEST🎸🎸🎸🎸🎤

Total classic tune I don't do the dust and don't agree with that stuff but I still love the song and the band long live quo x
I like that song very much♡ Quo always seems totally eased and kind during her appearances. They have apparently understood themselves by each other also well. No evil looks or gestures.
RIP. Rick! Thank all of you that you have accompanied me with your music for so many years. 🎵🎸🎤
Great song with great lyrics ❤
Rick and Francis the best of the 70s R.i.p Rick
Is it only 53 years since i saw them play this at The Park Hall Hotel , Wolverhampton ?😄😄
Status Quo at their best.
Favourite Quo track. If you can't dance to this, you can't dance to anything. Brilliant
ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG.
My favorite Band ever!!!!
But not the same without Rick😥
We miss You All over the World!!!!
RIP Rick💗💗💗
How is it possible that an audience can remain immobile with the Quo playing Live???
I think a few defibrillators are need to bring that crowd back to life!....where was this gig?...(maybe the morgue)?..
great guitar band so raw
Im 51 yrs old and I think you think some very good things
danced to this in the 70s magic
Stomp rock from the Quo, nobody played the shuffle like them at their peak
Love this.
brilliant
My Dad Milky, my Uncle Rocky and my awesome stepmum Annette love this song and taught me to sing it 😄
Great stuff from a top band (especially LIVE) who have not always been appreciated (by some).
lovely, saw them live on the last time they toured, Superb
I love the mouth organ and the fiddle on Rye Coder songs too.
Loved the early stuff ❤🎸🥁🎹
luv this song just brill like quo
My dear Uncle introduced me to the Status Quo many a year ago. So happy he did.
God rest "Kipper". The music and memories are forever.
And an RIP for Rick. Such a loss.
Bob Young the fifth unofficial member on harmonica here. He wrote Caroline, Down Down, Mystery Song, Mean Girl and Paper Plane, not a bad CV.
Thank you for the education
Yep, but he co wrote them with Rick and Francis.
There were 6 on stage. All members but for harmonica player?

Get well Soon Rick..Legend,along with Francis. Great song...School Days.
Very tight sound, nice!
