  • Status Quo performing 'Don’t Waste My Time' at Live Aid in front of 72,000 people in Wembley Stadium, London on the 13th July, 1985. The event was organised by Sir Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for the Ethiopian famine disaster. Broadcast across the world via one of the largest satellite link-ups of all time, the concerts were seen by around 40% of the global population.

    Funny I was sitting in my car in the village of Eastry Kent UK 🇬🇧
    When they put live Aid on the radio and Quo opened it and I went from feeling pissed off with life from feeling on top of the bloody world 🌎 and they really made my day
    I can't understand why some people don't like Quo still it's their loss Quo is only the best BRITISH BAND IN THE WORLD and I'm proud to be a no1 fan of them
    RIP Ricky so sadly missed 😢😢😢❤ but I bet he's Rocking away up in heaven ❤ I really miss the good old days and wish I could go back again 😢 I no it's not possible but I've got my good memory of the good old days 😊
    Rock on and on.

      The opening part of the gig has to be one of music's best ever set. The whole of the band deserves a knighthood. And NOW not next year. I am just so glad that I'm still alive to be able to see and hear it.
      Thank you Francis Rick and ,Alan
      I will love you all forever.

      There's an interview with Bob where he lines out why Quo had to be brought back on stage: 'Whoever would withstand the pressure by opening the worlds' biggest concert? Only Quo can do, so they had to be re-activated!' Quo went on stage, fully loaded as ever, but totally unrehearsed.

      Well. They didn't want to play. At the time the band was done. Coghlan left a few years before and at the time (1985) Rossi and Alan were not getting along. Also between Rick and Francis things were not good at the time. Drugs and booze were all around. It was Bob Geldof that convinced them they had to be there. Quo hadn't played together for over a year and didn't have much time to do rehearsals. They just got on stage and played. On stage, looking at the audience and all the cameras, it was when they started to realise how big the event Live Aid was and afterwards how good it was they were the first band on stage that day (publicitywise).
