Sunday January 9th 1977. I was 15 years old and travelled with 2 friends from the Forest of Dean by car and train and hitch hiking to get there. Best day of my life. Managed to get home at 4.am. Still the best band ever and the 2 friends are still, after 48 years best friends ever. Love you guys. We will meet up again this year on January 9th as we do every year and drink a toast to Rick and Alan ❤ QFFQ
I first saw Quo in 1975 and again in 1977 at Festival Hall Brisbane Queensland. I also saw Queen in 1977 and without doubt Quo were a much better live band. Queen was stunning but Quo live were the best live band I have ever seen. I have seen about 50 other acts in my life including Powderfinger with my now deceased son and all paled when compared. My then 12 year old son in the 1990's was stunned by the force of playing by Quo and loved them also. Rest in Peace my son.
This is the Quo of my youth, seeing them in the mid/late 70's before it all went downhill. The best band to grace the Apollo Glasgow that I saw, including the original ACDC.
Live from the "cowshed", the Quo of my youth. Great to see and a great reminder of what gigs were like with a hungry young audience. Too much saturation and accessibility has made people bored of live music. I never used to hear conversations going on back then. Now it's sometimes a struggle to find a section of the crowd that don't think their own conversation is more important than what is going on onstage.
I was there that night headline next day in the local paper was "Wet Pumps Down Boogie Street" AWESOME yes that's the first thing i noticed / remembered the tone is so much better, THE BAND THAT PLAYS 12 BAR.........THE MIGHTY QUO
@@ishmaelseleneet9688 yip, good band, saw them twice, once with Brian Robertson, once with Snowie White. One of my favourites for sure, but I stand by my original comment, Quo would rock anybody off a live stage back in the 70’s. No one has come close since.
A friend of mine asked me in 1975, how come I, a musician, liked Status Quo? I mean, he said, it’s so simple! I answered, can you make that many people happy at one time? No? Thanks, that’s why I’ve always loved this band! Because they make me feel good!
The notion that music must be complicated to be any good is ridiculous. Musical value isn't about how complicated it is to play. If you think so, then in my book, you play music for the wrong reason. Music should always be about communicating feelings of any sort ( except boredom!) And less is often more...
Incredible footage! I’d previously seen a poor-quality copy, but this is absolutely sublime. We need more live footage of the Quo in their prime, i.e. pre-‘82.
Quo right at the top of their game. I think Roll Over was rarely off my turntable. So blessed I saw them so many times over this period. Every gig was on another level in terms of audience and performance. Many happy memories...
I was there queued for ages to get in .This was the start of my tinnitus and still have it now to this day. I am 70 years old and i still listen to quo.
Me too what a great gig that was i think all there albums up to Rockin all over the world were there best albums still listen to them now went on to watch them live most years until 2024 one of the bands in the land with the original line up 👍
I remember watching this live on TV with my best mate, Pip. We were HUGE Quo fans and this being on live TV was unbelievable!! Up there with Queen's Christmas live from Hammersmith. A very different, and not necessarily a worse time!
Best boogie rock band, period. Hard, dynamic, melodic, great vocals and the energy is just so infectious. The frantic four, that's Status Quo too me. Great!!!
Absolutely great to see the frantic four in 1977, I also saw them on Dec 9th 1977 at Granby Halls, Leicester with my dad!!, rocking all over the world tour and wow was it loud, love the original Quo, Great memories.
Great to watch and hear. Nothing better than vintage 70s Quo first thing Saturday morning! Frantic Four! Thank you posting this, I really look forward to seeing more footage like this 🤘
happy to see this video. 4 great musicians, perhaps the best band in 70ths with Led Zep.I'm 69 and I have the same pleasure than yough time.Rick end Alan playing for God dancing.
Wow wish I'd seen them in their prime. Drums so powerful and the guitars boom. How people don't like Quo is beyond me. The no1 pure 12 bar boogie band of all time.
Brilliant , they were untouchable around here,a massive band in many parts of the World, just makes it a bit sad that it ended up as it is now. Quo Live in the car tomorrow
Oh WOW my very first ever concert i went to when i was just 16 y.o what a great day this was. Then the last time i ever saw them was ''End of the Road'' tour when i saw them at their final show 21st July 1984 at the Milton Keynes Bowl. Was just as amazing than when i saw them at Bingley Hall Stafford. Great band
Those were the days my friend when the audience was there to rock, to feel the guitars. Nowadays people hold up their smartphones just to say "i was there". No Rockers anyway. Sad but true.
@@heavyherti8892 Hello! How cool to receive your comments. Prefacing, I had never heard of Status Quo until Dec 2018. A whole new adventure in rock music, I have made up for a 50 year absence by grooving to them ever since with no sign of letting up. I cannot get enough. That said, I am continually impressed by the fans from all eras. I have seen many artists over the years, and I like to get up and boogie. Alas, I have never witnessed anything like what I just saw in this video. Moreover, you are right about the differences in grooving to guitars and the not-so-smart phone used today. Not just 'the good old days', that's how to rock in any era. Your comments are immensely appreciated. May you keep 'Goin' Quoin'!"
@@FriarTuck777 Hello-Helloo! Yes, there are still many Quo Fans out there! Quo is still alive. I still love them, yes. Sure i know that it is not the same without Rick, his outstanding riffing and power. But hey, to me Quo still is doing a good good job. It's the music i fell in love with when Rockin' all over the world came out. Quo has always been part of my live (including the fear that they will split one day - but they are still here with me) and will be until i do my last breath on this earth! Keep on Quoin'!
I was there, with my boyfriend at the time who introduced me to Status Quo. Been a fan ever since ( 62 now ) happy happy memories. Fantastic fans. No other band quite like the Quo.
Love it. Great work in enhancing the video. Absolutely tragic that the rest has gone. We were right at the front between Rick and Francis. A great night.
Greetings from germany. Those were the days. I would have payed 1 million Deutsche Mark if i could have seen such a live performance back in the late 1970s when i hit the world of QUO after they released the "Whatever you want" album. These are the things i like TH-cam for! Great. Quo will perform in Wolfsburg (Capitol of Volkswagen) in late june 2024. I'll be there and probably will see "them" there for my very last time. But their great times in the 1970s and their wild and heavy rocking performance will never be forgotten!
Later this year they embarked on the Rocking all over the world tour. Which was to be my first gig in Manchester. New back line new set. Been hooked ever since.❣
Wow. That’s insanely good. Thanks for posting this. Great memories. Went to see them on same tour at Bridlington Spa Theatre. The best live band ever. Probably the loudest too. Just phenomenal. Ears rang and neck hurt for days after. Lol.!! Love Don’t waste my time on this. Thx.
I think Bridlington Spa Pavilion was the Friday night with this gig on the Sunday, if my memory serves, and I went to both! 68 and nearly stone deaf now!
I must ve seen them that year in Nurnberg, Germany. This is just like it was.. Loud and raw.. Nothing beat them then. They were on top of their game... My ears rang for days after...
Regardless of whether you like or dislike Quo nobody can argue the fact they had the best fans of any band. Their concerts were just sheer joy. Compare this to watching a 25 minute Jimmy Page guitar solo......This is a master class on entertainment.
For the record, over the last four weeks, you have produced (and given to the world) several videos! While all of the videos merit appreciative comment, events in this film occurred during my first year of college. That is truly 'taking me back'. Had I then known of SQ, I would have been an avid fan. All the more, those who were there, as well as those responsible for this video, have forgotten more about Quo's music than I will ever know. For more than I can say, "Mega-thanks!"
I never saw the Quo of this era, I feel like I've totally missed out. Whitley Bay in about 85 or 86 is where it all began for me. I was tasked with taking my younger brother(passed away 2006 age 32), not really having listened to Status Quo before. My mind was blown; they started with Whatever You Want and I just remember the whole crowd bouncing up and down to that classic beat. I had tickets once again with my brother to see them in Edinburgh late Dec 06. He passed just 2 weeks before. My family talked me out of cancelling telling me to take my son and enjoy a band who my brother loved as much as me. Memories are the fabric of our lives, I urge everyone to make them today and don't wait until tomorrow. 🎸
Always nice to see upgrades of 70s Quo. In 1976 on New Zealand TV, I saw Quo playing Roadhouse Blues from the Marquee 72 show. All we see of that is Paper Plane and Don't waste my time. There was also footage of Bye Bye Johnny from 72. Hopefully it will surface again before I leave this wirld
This is the reeeeaaaaal Status Quo, not the band who is currently touring... Two different worlds... they were brilliant those days... sold out large halls... not 2000 seaters as today...
I was there for this gig, it was a Daily Mirror pop awards concert and i believe Nutz supported them, this or perhaps Budgie, this among with Cardiff castle are amongst my favorite Quo gigs, ( out of 200 plus )
Cardiff Castle was a phenomenal gig. I'd seen Budgie a couple of times before so they were a bonus. Hawkwind, Curved Air [with Stewart Copeland on drums) and the Strawbs supported. If my memory serves, Rossi and Parfitt took a stroll up to the top of the old ruined castle steps and were waving at the audience. The audience, of course, waved back!! Hawkwind were on stage at the time and front man, Bob Calvert, was none too impressed 😂
Seen Quo as a young lad in 1973, 74, 75 and 76 here in Australia, they blew every venue to kingdom come, they were at their peak in those years, so sad by 1978 they started turning to shit.
The way Francis long strides in a circle with a bouncy step and small stomp when he doing the first solo in DWMT is great. Never seen anyone do that before. And of course, the guitar sound is great, of course !
For me, when they recorded the RAOTW album, that was the end of the best Status Quo sound. I heard the concerts past then were still great, until a certain point. I can't say definitively, but the little I've heard on the net is still Status Quo like enough to enjoy the sound Most Of The Time (I find it amusing that the fans would say No!. Little did they know, it was to be close to a No! in the sound to come. I always thought, All Of The Time! 🙂). It isn't like it used to be, of course. Enjoy life, be ready for heaven, and that there is eternal joy. All the Best.

@@progmeup Yes, that's exactly my thoughts. So the whole gig was filmed then?
Nobody just nobody could touch the Quo in their heyday.
Anybody here in 2024
Too right I should of been at this gig but was 3 mum wouldn’t let me go with them when dad wanted me to 😢
There weren’t any smart phones in the air in those days. We were there for the music and the atmosphere. No time to be fiddling with gadgets 😂
I am 61.
Hearing and watching this - I am 16.
Thank you.
The same, also 61 and my favourite band live and studio in those days. Seen them several times

Man,you see Quo at their best ! I envy you ! ))) god bless u !
Bless your son mate, glad he got to experience the mighty quo. I saw them in 77, will never forget.
Festival Hall, me too, same time.
I was there both times as well. Fab memories.
That clapping under Don't waste my time is marvelous, everyone hands in the room clapped! Today more cameras up than clapping..
It’s sounds not real 😂
Maybe it is fake
This is the Quo of my youth, seeing them in the mid/late 70's before it all went downhill. The best band to grace the Apollo Glasgow that I saw, including the original ACDC.
Priceless , this is when they were a premier rock n roll band , loud and heavy .

I was there. Loudest concert I ever went to.
I was there to. Best day -night of my life, just awesome.
These NEED to be on DVD!!
Hmmm, why lower the quality to such a rubbish format as DVD ? Standard def video is dead mate, move into this century!
@@willpemberton6823 Twat…just meant they need to be released 🙄
@@willpemberton6823 Blu ray is also alright. Hopefully better source material is available.
Absolutely! Then no ad in the middle of the ROLD solo!
So much prefer Rossi's guitar tone here, pure Telecaster. Not the overdriven fuzz he uses now.
Great footage, thanks for uploading.
I was there that night headline next day in the local paper was "Wet Pumps Down Boogie Street" AWESOME yes that's the first thing i noticed / remembered the tone is so much better, THE BAND THAT PLAYS 12 BAR.........THE MIGHTY QUO
This was his best sound
Later it sounded like mosquito
Wow, no band before or since has generated the power that these 4 guys were able to. Loud, tight, and fucking fantastic, best live band I ever saw.
Absolutely! Best Live band EVER. Fight me!
Thin Lizzy

One of the all time great live bands.
As a prog rock fan it's nice to be reminded just how much I love Status Quo too.
Prog fan here too but generally like rock across the spectrum. Quo was one of my first introductions to rock as such.
Now ….that is Quo!! Absolutely bloody fantastic!!!

Me too what a great gig that was i think all there albums up to Rockin all over the world were there best albums still listen to them now went on to watch them live most years until 2024 one of the bands in the land with the original line up 👍
Blimey I was there! Only just found this. The next day I was doing my mock physics exam in a school gym, my ears were still ringing. Fantastic!
I was there remembering it well. what a night deaf for three days and a squeaky voice from shouting.
Oh yes….those were the days 👍👍
That's the spirit! ❤
Mr Rossi playing solos just as when they were first recorded, an absolute legend! ✌️
This because they recorded live back then. No track recording. Whole equipment into the studio and nail it down.
I remember watching this live on TV with my best mate, Pip. We were HUGE Quo fans and this being on live TV was unbelievable!!
Up there with Queen's Christmas live from Hammersmith. A very different, and not necessarily a worse time!
I was there !!!! my first major concert at the "cow shed" Stafford, awesome.
For years I've been waiting to see a concert on TH-cam that I'd actually been to. The wait is over. I was there!
Roll Over Lay Down is class.
Never has been or will ever will be a better rock-'n'-roll band!!
Best boogie rock band, period. Hard, dynamic, melodic, great vocals and the energy is just so infectious. The frantic four, that's Status Quo too me. Great!!!

Fantastic footage....thanks for the upload
Wicked. Finally we can actually see them in this video! Thanks for your great work enhancing/restoring.
There will never be another one not like Quo, found em when I was 11 in 73 loved em till 77 my first love, fantastic band.
Frantic four at there peak can’t wait to watch 💪👌
Absolute Gold. Thank you 🙏
A very good video with three of Quos best songs. This is really my kind of music. Love it!❤😊🇸🇪
I was there, Daily mirror rock and pop awards, we queued for hours to get in and it was bloody freezing.
Brilliant clip, thanks. Love the Quo fans at the end singing `You`ll never rock alone`. Yup, we were the best followers of any band ever!
Totaly amazing clip, it really dosent get much better than this!!!
Loving this
Wow just fk wow this band will forever be the best rock n roll band in my ❤
No phones! Brilliant!
This band has awesome fans!
Absolutely Great !
This is the reeeeaaaaal Status Quo, not the band who is currently touring... Two different worlds... they were brilliant those days... sold out large halls... not 2000 seaters as today...
they are still brilliant! Just because it's not the exact same doesn't mean it's bad. Long Live Quo! :)
Later in the year they’ll play arenas with a capacity to 5000-10000 in Germany and the UK. The march tour was a safe start after the covid mess…

Fantastic !! ♫
Awesome ❣
I was there! What a great gig that was. When we were outside queuing to get in it was so cold someone started a bonfire with a stack of pallets
Was there on the night. Great to relive it.
The way Francis long strides in a circle with a bouncy step and small stomp when he doing the first solo in DWMT is great. Never seen anyone do that before. And of course, the guitar sound is great, of course !
Without Alan and Rick it became a bloody joke
.....
For me, when they recorded the RAOTW album, that was the end of the best Status Quo sound. I heard the concerts past then were still great, until a certain point.
I can't say definitively, but the little I've heard on the net is still Status Quo like enough to enjoy the sound Most Of The Time (I find it amusing that the fans would say No!. Little did they know, it was to be close to a No! in the sound to come. I always thought, All Of The Time! 🙂). It isn't like it used to be, of course.
Enjoy life, be ready for heaven, and that there is eternal joy.
All the Best.
The best quo band watch them for years.
I was there and it was a great vibe - they sounded so tight yet " live"........
I was there at stafford bingley hall, fantastic show and every time i saw them, not seem this video before damn it takes me back ✌
This is great. I hasn't realised there was a bit of Big Cat Mama at the end or if forgotten about it.
Thanks
Big Fat Mama and Youll Never Walk Alone were shown at the start of the programme and haven't ever really circulated with the Quo tracks from the show
