Greatest rhythm guitar player in the world. The fusion of the two telecasters is such a perfect sound. Rossi and Parfittt are so underrated it's criminal.

@@mikesmith22050 Both guitars had the back part of the bridge/pickup plate cut off and different bridges installed; Parfitt's with a Jr. style wraparound bolted to the body, but the strings still run through the body, Rossi's has a tune-o-matic style bridge and 3 Strat size rail humbucker pickups. Rossi used to have G&L MFD pickups at one time. They're still tele-ish, I guess.
I watched an interview with Lemmy where he said "all the best guitarists pluck up as well as down, anyone can strum down but it takes real skill to go up n down". Rick was pure talent.
Die "Alten" können es immer noch und immer wieder ! Das war übrigens der erste Cover Song,den ich als 14 jähriger 🤔 mit meiner ersten Band ( Flyride) gespielt und auf LP gebracht habe ... R.I.P. Rick !
Awesome. I left Linkin Park after twenty minutes so that my young kids could witness The Mighty Quo. They still talk about it now. And they feel blessed to have seen Rick Parfitt.
Good man Matt. Some of my best memories are of going to see the mighty Quo with my old man! 😊 I was at this one too… my pals went to LP but glad I stayed. My last time seeing Rick Parfitt hammer this one out.
Rick, one of my two "backs to the stack" heros the other being Malcolm. I miss you both so much. Dear World, just listen to this at full volume just once in your life.
Bloody hell what an intro by Rick! How did his arm not drop off 😂 Love these guys - what a great band they are live, really tight. Francis and Rick the dynamic duo! ❤️
From the first time I saw em at Cardiff Castle in 1978, they were my favourite band..to see Rick there, back to the amps and sawing away on the high G? Man, he was fucking awesome.
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Rick on 2 occasions. He was always an absolute gentleman ... so polite, courteous and very very witty. Such a loss...
One of the most rockin' tunes EVER written. R.I.P Rick, sadly missed, as is Malcolm Young .......... the world's best rhythm-guitarists in the history of rock.
@@THEBIGMANGY That effing cringy word over n over again describing just about every artist/muso and band. Ive even seen it used to describe The Who,Prince and frigging Steve Vai, ffs Underrated underrated underfriggingrated.
Status Quo,a real rock band that I xnow since 1967,when I was only 11 years.Now I still appreciate this fantastic band and I'll never stop with metal-rock,it is a injection that inserts blood in me.
Alors là!.... Le QUO a rarement sonné aussi bien que sur cette version de Caroline! Ray Parefit était vraiment un rythmicien exceptionnel... Bravo, respect!
One of the best Rock bands....... Narrowly defined nationality is irrelevant when it comes to world class quality..... These guys are citizens of the World......
I was at this gig, and was rather mortified to see my mug in the crowd in a few shots. Bought a fall out boy shirt 3 hours before, and it was swiftly ripped apart by the end of this gig. Good times, and very grateful I got to see them in this lineup!
Status Quo forever. Seen them a few times and each time blew me away with the superb noise from those Telecasters. The way the Rickmeister belted out the opening to Caroline meant you knew you were in for a brilliant night. Rest in peace Rickmeister
...and pretty much all types of music in general! We're the best...simple as!! Bands/artists, from all over the world, look to the UK (if not base themselves here) because of the international musical (and cultural) reputation of this country. It's just such a massive shame that the uptight, narrow-minded Tory types really don't understand this. They don't see it/understand it/value it! How they can't I'll never know...I really won't. IMO we have THE BEST musical and cultural reputation in the world. Everyone looks to this country, especially in regard of music, but it goes over the Tory's heads. For a group who like to pride themselves on their ability to capitalise on owt they can get their grubby big hands on, they miss this time and time again and have always done! I don't get how they can be so slack, dumb? Yet they continue to pull it off and totally miss out???
My first ever CD I heard on my own stereo was '12 gold bars' late 1986. I fell in love with this music. Almost 35 years later I'm proud to say that I have collected ALL their albums! Really! For example: Picturesque, Ma Kelly, Dog of two head, Spare parts, In the army now, Ain't complaining, Perfect remedy, Thirsty work, In search for the fourth chord, Aquostic, Backbone! No need to say that I miss Rick!
That bass player is untouchable. It’s not many chords in each song but he always links them together, doesn’t always stay in the same range, goes an octave higher. He’s very high in the mix and that’s why cos he’s shit hot
Wish I could just play a boring, uninspired 12 bar blues and make loads of money. It's bizzare to me how people pay money to hear this formulaic dog shit.
I've never considered this line up to be THE Status Quo , and the Frantic Four tours were a total gift from the Rock gods , but this is a great Set opener , God bless you Rick and Alan 🙏
The quo transcends individuals, it's about those three chords the boogie rhythm, the line up is irrelevant, as long as it keeps going for eternity that's all that matters
I'll never grow tired of seeing Rick going from zero to mach 1 in a matter of seconds. Legend Quo!

Those Telecasters are so modified that they're not Telecasters anymore.
@@tiki_trash I'm curious, how are they modified? It's hard to see as they're still single coils.

I havn´t seen anybody like Rick doing that opening so geniously 🥰
Forget Ritchie malone
Rick Parfitt's opening is one of the greatest in rock. Physically demanding too
Oh yeah, it does take a lot of energy but it’s great fun to play, Quo forever 🤘🏻🤘🏻
!!!
I watched an interview with Lemmy where he said "all the best guitarists pluck up as well as down, anyone can strum down but it takes real skill to go up n down". Rick was pure talent.
Check out his guitar strings gauge like cheese cutters
Now that’s how you start a gig!
One of the best bands EVER ..... music today has nothing on this
It is!
Die "Alten" können es immer noch und immer wieder ! Das war übrigens der erste Cover Song,den ich als 14 jähriger 🤔 mit meiner ersten Band ( Flyride) gespielt und auf LP gebracht habe ...
R.I.P. Rick !
I was 14 years old when I discovered them. And I still love it 50 years after...
😂 Eight. My much older brother brought an LP record home.
Yeah, hooked…..😉
I seen a stout lad with a QUO T shirt crossing the M2 maybe's 1987.Thought it cool and got a cassette after.
Lasting memory but.
First time I saw then live was Melbourne Australia in 1976. Still love watching them today. 🤟
Awesome. I left Linkin Park after twenty minutes so that my young kids could witness The Mighty Quo. They still talk about it now. And they feel blessed to have seen Rick Parfitt.

Was this at a festival?
Ich habe sie sieben mal Live erlebt, es war jedes Mal Fantastisch.
As Rick started playing the intro, the shivers yet down my spine; and when everyone joined in, my eyes welled-up with appreciation and love.
Amen brother...
Totally agree, such a powerful start to any rock song
The entire history of blues and rock is contained in this song !!! And thanks to these extraordinary musicians !!!!
Apart from AC/DC these guys knew how to proper rock n roll and pull the crowd in...status quo without a doubt one of the best👍
Let anyone who slags SQ off watch this video. I grew up with their music and still love it. I'm still smiling after watching this. Great stuff!
Yes Cousin Jack!!!!👍👍💙💙🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸
2014 is the only download year I didn’t attend since 2012 , I could kick myself for missing this ☹️
From the late 60s, till now,, the quo,, ! Even my late gran liked,! RIP,! Gran ,1989,! God Bless from northern Ireland UK, 🇬🇧
since 1974 Quo is my band and will be for the next 100 years, or so.... :-)
We are damn lucky to live in an age then there is Rock 'n' Roll! The pinacle of human culture.
My dad use sing this to me when it was my birthday and so did my rock friends
Status Quo
One of the best
Rockin all over the World Bands 🎸
I saw them at donington 1982 monsters of rock . 100 000 people , my first big concert . fantastic
Those white Marshall's are so...
beautiful!
Thanks for the great memories, chaps!
One of the best Bands of the World!
Am almost as old as Marcus!!! Great track. Long may they survive.
Donnington. The ultimate diehard metalheads.
Stus Quo is where we all began.
Goddamn.
Rock n Roll as it should be....no gimmicks just three guitars and a drum set....saw them live decades back in Cardiff...RIP Nick
All I ever knew by this band was Pictures of Matchstick Men - this song tears it up! Love it!
Rick is the real proof that not everyonce is replaceable. That's for sure!
Everybody loves Status Quo. Your age doesn't matter, 8 or 88 years old.

If this doesn't get the party started, Nothing will
Rick, one of my two "backs to the stack" heros the other being Malcolm. I miss you both so much.
Dear World, just listen to this at full volume just once in your life.
Never get sick of this song listen to it 3-4 times a week. These guys truly kick some major ass!!!!!!
If this doesn't start the party Nothing will
It will be heard a 1000 years from now
Used to drive my mam crazy blasting this out in my bedroom 50yrs ago. RIP Rick.
Yes, three chords. Yes, the best way to perform that three chords. The mighty quo on their own. Amazing clip. The band of my life ❤️
One of the GREATEST live bands , to ever walk shoe leather ! Much missed .
Absolutely worshiped these guys since i was 16. Seen them live twice. I`m 56 now and still get giddy remembering back then ...
Boy o boy this song does put a smile on my face.... Powerful 💪✌️❤️
That' band brings back memories happy days classic always love it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
War schon zwei Mal auf einem Konzert. Einfach wahnsinn und ein Erlebnis

They flew under the radar here in Canada. I like what I'm listening to. Thanks for sharing.
It's amazing. I've loved this number from the first day I heard it, and nothing has changed.
Brilliant Rock Legends 💥💯💫
What a suspenseful start to a gig. 👍👏👏. Rick.. We miss you!!
Awesome opening riff
I love the nod to their original hit, 'Pictures Of Matchstick Men' in the opening.... one of the best bands of the classic rock era... hands down.
My first LP ever was Status Quo 45 years ago. Still fun to listen, seems I had good taste ;)
You are my favourite band ❤️❤️
Great band and great music for 40 years. Absolutely. Thank you, Masters.
We don't get everything right in England but by God we know a thing or two about banging out good old no-nonsense rock n roll.
Quo is one of maybe 4 bands that I listen to.... They are great.. From Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada.. Stay safe!!!!!!!

Reminds me of my pin stripped waist coat throwing some moves, awesome times ❤️
Best boogie band ever.Followed them all over....Bridlington,Blackpool,Doncaster,Sheffield,Manchester and Birmingham.Loved 'em every time....still do!
This is what it's all about real rock n roll by one of the best rock bands ever
Super et du pur rock.
Un sacré groupe oui le meilleur que j ai vu.
Et les guitaristes super.
Merci..
Mon groupe préféré depuis que j'ai entendu "down down" dans ma petite radio au lit !
Wow. That is a classic. So much energy.
This band is so underrated, they belong in the rock and roll hall of fame.
Maybe they should have built the rock n roll hall of fame themselves.
Underated ! Lol , they helped write the British rock & roll book . One of the best bands live ,ever .
Good luck with that! Hy RON HILL. Isn’t a shame that, Madonna, Kiss, and other “ artists “ are in that group called legends?

Rick was one of the best rythm guitar players!! Rip i wish i had that fender Telecaster from Francis, i think IT,s from 1965.

John Rhino Edwards is a fantastic bass player! Alan Lancaster the original bass was great but Rhino does a bloody good job
My first time seeing these guys Had to watch a few times I liked it so much
Sweet Caroline so old...and.....soooo young !!!!
Wow !!!! Still pure sound and what an Energy !! Phew... I love Caroline for soooo many decades !
I love it
Brilliant, pure enjoyment and great rock and roll. We need more of this, happiness just for the sake of it!

Bought this when it came out. I was 16. Awesome guitarwork. IMO, their best.

Amazing......Rest in peace Rick...thanks for all the wonderful entertainment.

Well they certainly rocked that. Respect to the Quo - and their fans for keeping on rocking
