FFS Quo killing it like the old days. How anyone can say the post 1980 stuff is better is beyond me. No one could live with the Frantic Four from 1970 to 78. So glad they saw sense and did the reunion tours - got to take my boy to see the best live band that ever took to a stage.
It doesn’t get better than that. Quo, the proper Quo, clicked spectacularly in that performance, producing the most splendid sound that modern Quo cannot come close to. Music is about soul, feeling. This is demonstrated quite clearly here. This is the Status Quo that are nigh on untouchable when live.
I was lucky enough to see them in the late 70's and they were phenomenal live. Totally kicking asses here also. RIP Alan and Rick. In their prime they were peerless.
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.
In my humble opinion this is the finest rock and roll song I have ever heard live. Four old- timers showing how to do it. Perfection! Thank God Rick was still here to really enhance it.
I must say, they do tighten up as they go. Great performance. My fave part is where Alan is watching Francis playing his Lead part. Awesome. Fave member has always been NUFF, do I need to explain why? I think it is obvious to a blind Bat. RIP Alan you were the Backbone of the Band.
Truly Truly blessed to be a old school Quo fan and then to hear this song done again by the same band members of old, all i can say is, THANK YOU STATUS QUO, From me to you guys, you are and always will be the Greatest rock band in the world. Chook.
I was at one of the reunion concerts in 2013 in Manchester and again the following year and also the final one in Dublin in 2014. They were ferocious - and fantastic. By far their best line up and one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen.
Quo są i będą w tym składzie niepowtarzalni!! Mistrzowie rock'n'rolla. RiP Alan i Rick.... Ja nadal jeszcze żyję i cieszę się z tego co stworzyliście!!!! Pozdrowienia z Polski!!!
NOW THATS ROCK!!!! Wow what an electric performance the energy the drive got my heart pumping and turned it up to max inctedible!!!!!!! Quo are the rock grandfathers !!!!!
This is as pure of kickass rock as you’ll ever hear anywhere. Bang your head and enjoy. It doesn’t get any better than this. These guys are tearing it up!!!!!!
I saw the Frantic Four reunion concert & the newer version of the band one week later, in Australia. I loved both line-ups equally. The emotion of the re-union & seeing Nuff again was wonderful. The concerts in Australia were certainly played at a more manic pace & Rhinos stagecraft is amazing. Rossi wrote most of the top ten singles, writes most of the melodies & is both a single note player & rhythm player. His voice & guitar playing is crisp & he is the identifying sound of Quo. For both lineups it very much felt like a Quo concert
We were two nights in Hammersmith, best Event of my life 🥰This was STATUS QUO without Poprock-Country shit👍 FF-forever,perfect 💕I miss the old Times, Rick i love you. Cheers from Dortmund ♠️💛♠️
Now this is how rock'n'roll should be played. No frills, just a tight driving backbeat and some sensational guitar work. Can someone please show this to all the wannabes out there who claim they are rock??????
Absobloodylutely right. The best, tightest boogie woogie rock outfit there's ever been and the best line up too, Quo as they should be. Mr Rossi has his faults and internal feuds and politics fucked up a fantastic band which has never been surpassed but.....he is one hell of a guitar player!
Por eso STATUS QUO, es el mejor grupo de rock a nivel mundial, esas rolas tan chimgonas, los solos del maestro Francis Rossi es un deleite escucharlo y siempre con el mismo potencial
in all of its orchestration and manifestation, this performance is absolutely the most beautiful declaration of rock and roll, that there has ever been, and will ever be. these guys are a part of my soul. amen. (forever 2017)
Not many bands could do this type of rock n roll ...they are a well oiled machine who never never fail to impress me they gave been in my blood since 1974
At 2: 23 al shouts eh rossi, this song is amazing, look at parfitts guitarplaying, he beats the guitar like hell, good pumping, extra strong boogie rock, absolutely great. Long live the FF, rib al and rick
Ricky J .P. belated deepest sympathy on the loss of pa pa Ricky, I hope the twins are are coping ok as they are growing up. I was 11 years old in 1968 when I followed the quo and no other band interested me at all, I think it was ricky's shear drive and determination coming through his playing that encapsulated the sound thrown forward by quo. I was very fortunate I was a DJ in the late seventies I had a promo copy three weeks before release of what ever you want and when I played it for the first time and heard Ricky's intro I was blown away and to this day that intro always brings tears to my eyes when I ever hear it. It's just ageless, I am so so thankful I have years of happy memories of Ricky and honoured to have been able to promote qou's singles and albums up to 1980. I go to see John couglan's quo when ever I can when they are up in North Wales. Best wishes to you and the family J. P. Thoughts with you all at Christmas. Mike xx
The total personification of Quo with all of them totally in sync and performing at their best. all of it just stressing 'this is why we are the f***** best ladies and gentlemen'. And I know because I was there to hear it :) I had seen them about 6 or 7 times in 'the old days', but this was phenomenal.
![Status Quo-Backwater/Just Take Me [New Sound] (Live Hammersmith London 29/03/2014)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NS85PiTKUYM/mqdefault.jpg)
The government should pass a law saying rock stars of this calibre are forbidden to get old.
Err, yeah - that's just proper rock n roll! A fantastic performance, I absolutely love this.
FFS Quo killing it like the old days. How anyone can say the post 1980 stuff is better is beyond me. No one could live with the Frantic Four from 1970 to 78. So glad they saw sense and did the reunion tours - got to take my boy to see the best live band that ever took to a stage.
51 tears later. STILL my favourite Quo song, Rossi's best solo work, Nuff's booming bass, Rick in real rock mode, and Spud well away.
Brilliant solo, I keep going back just to listen to the solo!
For me too ! Great song ! So pleasant to see them again (Alan and John back). Emotion l !
The real deal not Panto Quo.
RIP Rick. Finest Rock Rhythm guitarist ever.
It doesn't get any better than this! A lot of youngsters who think they know rock could do a lot worse than listen to the Quo.
Name me another band that are as together as this. Amazing live performance the like of which we'll never see again. Long live the real Status Quo ❤
Look at Rick go !!!!!!! hes a machine!!
Oh my god... This is pure rock and roll. Rest in peace Rick Parfitt. The best ever. Thank you.
The greatest 4 minutes of rock ever. Rick, we love you.
Amen.

This is demonstrated quite clearly here. This is the Status Quo that are nigh on untouchable when live.
Spot on.
Totally agree with this.
Rick just fukin awesome, no one will ever play like him. RIP
Just happy iv lived on this planet same time as the Quo to see them live countless times.
They will still be talking about the Quo in 100 years.
Brilliant. Priceless. I'd never seen them perform this song live before. Absolute Rock n Roll magic forever digitally preserved.
RIP Alan and Rick will never be forgotten the real quo.
Absolute,absolute, absolutely fantastic 😀😀😀
I was lucky enough to see them in the late 70's and they were phenomenal live. Totally kicking asses here also. RIP Alan and Rick. In their prime they were peerless.
I lucky to see them play in a little village close to where I use to live. Got better and better
I never tire of hearing this song magically played the FF ...pure awesomeness
Between 1970- 1976, whilst all the prog rock musos were looking down their noses, the Quo were just ripping it up and us proles loved it.
Quo and hawkwind. That’s all I need. And those magic dates
Rick, the real legend on this. Awesome rhythm guitar. RIP mate.
The sum is equal to all the parts. Rick and Alan and John back together, dreams.
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.
They still get my adrenaline flowing even yet watching this video. This IS QUO!
R.I.P Rick and Alan
Once Quo forever Quo Fan since 1975
I want a Rick cam on this ... he absolutely nails this
In my humble opinion this is the finest rock and roll song I have ever heard live. Four old- timers showing how to do it. Perfection! Thank God Rick was still here to really enhance it.
Stamp your feet
Rossi is the best ever
Rick ... legend on this. RIP, and thanks for the memories.
Status quo past and present the boogiefyed rock and roll band ever period.
A total masterclass in tight boogie rhythm , suppose they all knew it was their last go at it together and they gave it some hammer,,,,,
Doesn't get better than this.... The original and definitely the best
Absolute Weltklasse diese Band. Ich bin seit 1973 ein großer Fan von SQ, auch live
Nothing has changed! They are brilliant when together. Am glad I saw them the Frantic Four. God bless you Rick xxx
I must say, they do tighten up as they go. Great performance.
My fave part is where Alan is watching Francis playing his Lead part. Awesome.
Fave member has always been NUFF, do I need to explain why?
I think it is obvious to a blind Bat.
RIP Alan you were the Backbone of the Band.
That's the Quo like i remember, when i was young : Francis Rossi (founder), Alan Lancaster (founder), Rick Parfitt R.I.P., John Cochlan !
Coghlan
"Will you welcome the number one rock and roll band in the land"
"To Night, live"...
Yes,I will always
Truly Truly blessed to be a old school Quo fan and then to hear this song done again by the same band members of old, all i can say is, THANK YOU STATUS QUO, From me to you guys, you are and always will be the Greatest rock band in the world. Chook.

Saw them Manchester 2014 - unreal, just like Deeside 1981
Bloody brilliant 👍👏💪
Perfection. I could listen to this everyday.
Quo są i będą w tym składzie niepowtarzalni!! Mistrzowie rock'n'rolla. RiP Alan i Rick.... Ja nadal jeszcze żyję i cieszę się z tego co stworzyliście!!!! Pozdrowienia z Polski!!!
This leaves me breathless every time, and I've been playing it everyday for the past 45 years, that's how good it is!
Great Susan!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸
Great Susan!!🎸🎸🎸
👑
Keep playing it lol 👍
So much energy in this! The ONLY Quo I will ever listen to.
Rick Parfitt, the hard worker!
Classic by Rick. RIP lad.
Absolutely superb.
Alan’s Over and Done. Now THAT stuck in my head all these years. 63 years old now. Still play the thing even now!
FF - the greatest rock n roll band in the land. RIP Ricky.
How good is this I’m getting old missing the real quo
Axe master - Rick Parfitt
Best rock n' roll you'll ever hear.
Over 50 years ago this group had me. Hook line and sinker. And to think 50 years later they still had it. Here’s a thought. 50 years is half a century
Saw Quo live twice, absolutely epic and loud as fuxk.....
NOW THATS ROCK!!!! Wow what an electric performance the energy the drive got my heart pumping and turned it up to max inctedible!!!!!!! Quo are the rock grandfathers !!!!!
Rick was a machine on that guitar 🎸
No keyboards, brilliant.
Just listened to it again.....the day is set!!
Love this song, it never grows old . Frantic Four rule !
Rossi, Parfitt, Lancaster and Coghlan. The one and only Status Quo!
Amen to that brother...
You forgot Andy Bown.
Can't get much better than this.
This is QUO!!! The original line up playing good hard Rock. ‘Little blue eyed lady’ Their BEST EVER.
Now that’s the quo I was brought up with.
Beautiful.. led in bed after a long week in work
Gives me goose bumps, thats a next level performance.
This is the real Quo.so glad they go to do this one more time.
and the following year...
Absolutely top-notch, unbeatable, never heard anything better, PROPER MUSIC !
Status Quo with Alan Lancaster was an awesome machine.
years have passed, but their music hasn't..sounds so damn good..
Four old men, and nobody can do it better.
So fuckin' true !
Why couldn't you have just said four men ?
How does Alan keep up? - How does Rick hold on to the 100% correct rythem? Ans WHO really cares???
You forgot about the other old men still rocking. Think they are called "The Rolling Stones "
You're right. But in the first place I'm a Status Quo fan, although I like the Stones too.
They will never replace the original band members 👍🎸🎸
That’s what I‘ll call a proper Status Quo.
This is as pure of kickass rock as you’ll ever hear anywhere. Bang your head and enjoy. It doesn’t get any better than this. These guys are tearing it up!!!!!!

FF-forever,perfect 💕I miss the old Times, Rick i love you.
Cheers from Dortmund ♠️💛♠️
The outside of the guitars is worn, but the Quo certainly isn't !!! Fantastic, awesome !!!
Just amazing - kept the best till the last. Rock 'em in Heaven Rick!
Rick - just wow 💗

A lot of Quo's greatest songs are not strictly Rock-'n'-roll . They are Boogie Woogie and none the worse for that .
@@ideyboo Boogie Woogie Rock-'n'-roll . 👍
@@bobgibb2781 never mind what kind of music you call it, but it all sounds absolutely fantastic !
Love that driving rythmn guitar. Great stuff.
Quo at their best, just brilliant 😊
magic and brilliant,best quo ever.
This is the best one ever🤙
Just perfection 💖
So great.Status Quo is the best Band of the World.I,ve always been a fan of this
Por eso STATUS QUO, es el mejor grupo de rock a nivel mundial, esas rolas tan chimgonas, los solos del maestro Francis Rossi es un deleite escucharlo y siempre con el mismo potencial
я согласен
in all of its orchestration and manifestation, this performance is absolutely the most beautiful declaration of rock and roll, that there has ever been, and will ever be. these guys are a part of my soul. amen. (forever 2017)
Well said mate 👍🎸🎸
Amen. 🙏🏼
BAND - HELL YEA!!!
But fans? Dead sticks standing with cell phones... Failure to me... At least great cheer at the end...
Not many bands could do this type of rock n roll ...they are a well oiled machine who never never fail to impress me they gave been in my blood since 1974
STATUS QUO...... una azienda del rock and roll
........... ........ ............
abbraccio da Roma e buon caffè
The real Quo , often imitated , never bettered .
I love the performance but it's also great to see all the comments here and realise how many people just totally get how brilliant this and why.
At 2: 23 al shouts eh rossi, this song is amazing, look at parfitts guitarplaying, he beats the guitar like hell, good pumping, extra strong boogie rock, absolutely great. Long live the FF, rib al and rick
WOW.................... simply WOW.
Simply the best. R.I.P. Rick.
The greatest rock n roll band in the land!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP Ricky.
There have been only 2 such live bands: SLADE and QUO
@@janprzyby6528 Agreed yes. Sweet were also a very underrated rock band too.

@@michaelhuxley5172 Cheers Mike. All the very best.
that song is so damn awesome. along with every other song they did.. love this band..
July 28, 2021 and still watching the Frantic Four from Adelaide, South Australia.
Great song, great band after all the years !
Like a FOUR cylinder engine with the throttle wide open . This is proper QUO !
What a band..Such energy.
“Little Blue Lady is one my favourite song by Status Quo”
👑
If This is one of your favourites then please get your facts and the title right………
BLUE EYED LADY !!!!
Now was that so difficult?
