This was also my first Quo gig... then I saw them at their 'final' gig at Milton Keynes. Then I saw them at Knebworth supporting Queen (I left before Queen came on). I've not seen them since, but they will always be special to me.
Personally I thought the Crystal Palace gig was better than the Milton Keynes gig. I wish I had a recording or could hear a recording of the Crystal Palace gig
@@jtpoutdoor ... forgot them!!! Was there also an awful funk band who got loads of bottles thrown at them called Disciples of Soul or something or am I somewhere else?
@@darrenphillips6456 You are right they were bottled off! It was Little Steven and the Disciple of Soul, Little Steven being Steve Van Zandt better know as being a member of Brice Springsteens East Street Band. I remember Chas & Dave doing the song 'Bollocks' much to the merriment of the audience 🙂 And as if the bands that day weren't enough there was the entertainment of the streaker on the roof of the stage.
I was there. Thin Lizzy being bombarded with beer bottles. It was raining and Rossi said we're going to get electrocuted but sod it. Shame him and Rick then proceeded to destroy their memory with a pile of crappy music for the next 30+ years. Their back catalogue from 1964 to 1984 stands the test of time though. They played in my dad's barn in 1970 when Down the Dustpipe was in the charts. Played footie with them in the afternoon and Mum did tea for them. Happy days.
Doesn't it sound so pathetic.... "were stopping the greatest rock band in history because of eating/sleeping habits on tour" I was gutted when quo stopped touring in 84 but wouldn't have been so bothered if I knew then what I know now!!!
Was my first Quo gig also. Still going to see them almost 30 years on….I must have seen Quo 100 times.
I was there. I saw them 4 times that tour, and then Live Aid. Not seen them since, not the same without Alan L.
Still forever the best british band ever in 74 I was 14 they wer 24 ish I'm sixty Rick's gone but quo are quo and we will allways love them
This was my first ever concert at the very tender age of 16 now I’m 53 . The support acts I remember we’r Jason and the scorchers plus Phil Lynott.
This was my first Quo gig !!! i was 11 years old
Wish I could remember it. Probably old age or booze at the time. But I was there...

taffboyslim You left before Queen?
Silly man
Well, he saw the better band 😂

Would be great if the CP-gig was filmed in whole.
I’m Like this band very much
So sorry they not together anymore 🇪🇷
Of course they are!
@@valepoli8777 you can't possibly compare the nowadays SQ with the 70's frantic four........
@@Kruisje2000 Oh sure I can. The music and the Sound is still the same, with good drummer and 🎸🎸🎸 players. Quo forever! 💖🔝
Status Quo 👍👍❤❤
I was there. Remember Dave Edmunds & Thin Lizzie supporting.
And surprisingly enough, Chas & Dave...

@@mikenorris6103 ...aaah my memory wasn’t playing tricks!!! Thanks for that😄
Thin Lizzy was in fact Grand Slam Lynotts other band.
The old legs are still working ok chuck) nearly 30 years later!
I was there.
Status Quo vor ever.
would love to see any Crystal Palace footage - this clip opened with 'over the edge' & probably 4500 times (even though the music was WYW)
This was meant to be Quo's last gig. But due to popular demand, Milton Keynes was organised.
2016 wohl endgültig end of the road

Not Thin Lizzy. It was Grand Slam.
@@grahamlennon4072 I stand corrected. Thanks.
Alans jaw is going a bit :)
They've brought a lot of shit since those days!
'Shit' not in the good sense of the word either.

It was just an excuse, Alan and Francis didnt get along anymore.
@@marty6779 exactly, Alan on his own and then Rick & Francis shame !
Wish they had stopped back then knowing what I know now....
16 years old first time for quo
