Is there anybody out there that wants to rock Is there anybody out there that wants to roll Is there anybody out there that wants to boogie Tonight, live from the apollo glasgow We have the number one rocknroll band in the land Will you welcome, the Magnificent, status,,,,,,,,QUOOOOOOOOO! The best intro ever. Quo live 76. 🤘✌️👌
This sngle hit no.1 in the UK charts in ‘74. It was a fitting result after 4 really great albums, ‘Piledriver’ was the bluesy album, ‘Hello’ was the bluesy shuffle, ‘Quo’ was the heavy one and ‘On The Level’ , from which came Diwn Down had instant appeal. It was much more poppy that the previous 3 but great. If you like this I’d recommend delving into ‘Dont Waste My Time’ and ‘Paper Plane’ from Piledriver, ‘Roll Over Lay Down’ and ‘Reason For Living’ from Hello, ‘Dont Think It Matters’ and ‘Slow Train’ from Quo and from the later ‘Blue For You’ album, ‘Mystery Song’ is fabulous. Welcome to the greatest rock n roll band never to have made it in The States.
Love your reaction. Imagine this, mid 70’s Brit teenager, coming out of the church hall disco in his flared blue jeans having just head banged to Quo, girls lined up outside the door to watch the guys and jumping on his two-stroke Suzuki and screaming off into the November night with his mates, trailing white smoke and head still rocking. That’s what Quo was all about.
Excellent description, I know because I was there and everything you said is so true. The best time ever to be a teenager was the 1970s, particularly in the UK.
I was (and still am) a mad Quo fan from 1973 to 1982 (when they started to change their sound). If you just want good 'ol blues/boogie rock, then this is for you. Try 'Rain' and 'Mystery Song' from their 1976 album Blue For You.
Status quo stared in the late 60's most notably with Pictures of matchstick men. They then reinvested themselves to be more Rock orientated, some hits are Rockin' All over the World (this was the first track played at Live Aid), Caroline, The Wanderer, In the Army Now, Living on an Island
Another comment - Status Quo were masters of the dynamic shift and dramatic pause in many of their songs. Another group from the 90s that mastered this was INXS (in-excess) from Australia - different style of music, more pop/rock and synth, but equally masterful fun as mic shifts and pauses in many songs. Both groups are worth a deep-dive, so many bangers!
The Quo are a British musical institution, fantastic live and hugely successful in the UK, 'head down no nonsesnse boogie' is their style! Their first hit (and biggest hit in the US) was 'Pictures of match stick men' in 1968. It was typical of Psychedelia at the time and they looked very different to how they are here! I was a big fan in my early teens and still have a soft spot for them, you know what you're going to get and they never disappoint. Piledriver from 1972 is my favourite album with a great mix of rocking and mellow tunes, Paper plane, Big fat mamma contrasting with All the reasons and Unspoken words. Cheers.
You've never heard of them? Oh, where to start! A British institution and successful all over the world, apart from the US (God knows why/how). If you want to discover their music, it's going to be an amazing journey!
The band name is pronounced "Stay tuss" Quo, that's how we say it over this side of the pond. Another good Live tune from this band is Roll Over Lay Down. I think you'll love that one.
The MIGHTY Status Quo! They have now been going for 60 years and still playing live to big audiences across the globe. Unfortunately for some reason they never made it big in the United States. They have had more top 10 hit singles than any other band ever in the U.K. Only the Rolling Stones have had more hit albums in the U.K. than Status Quo. STATUS QUO’S total world-wide record sales exceed 118 million units. They have spent in excess of seven and a half years (415 weeks) in the British Singles Chart. it is estimated that QUO have played over 6000 live shows to a total audience in excess of 25 million people. In doing so, the band has travelled some four million miles and spent 23 years away from home. Thank you so much for playing Status Quo on your channel, hopefully there will be a lot more 😀👍🏻
Francis actually said goodbye at the end of the last tour, no big fanfare just goodbye to the fans and to full touring. He hasn't ruled out one off shows, yet, but no more tours. He is happier doing his small talking gigs.
Is that Status Quo I hear? Must be time to party! 'Hooks' were their specialty, there's no Quo tunes from this era that won't stay in your head for days. Woohoo! ✌❤
They opened Live Aid with a Bang and were one of my favourite acts of the day, started off with a very different look in the 60's on Pictures Of Matchstick Men. One thing with Quo (with the exception of Pictures) you heard a Quo song and you knew it was a Quo song
Went to many a Status Quo concert in the 1980's and 1990's around the UK but in particular at Wembley Arena. Their PRW chritmas shows were a wild party and they woukd have their very own Orange Army if fans comingvover fron the Netherlands to see these shows and add the the party atmosphere . Youd leave the concerts 2 hours later dripping in sweat haveing head banged and played air guitar for the length of the show
This track was THE Status Quo template. They were viewed as a blues-based “boogie” band at the time, but in reality they were power pop ahead of their time. They have many tracks of this ilk and they only stopped touring last year. And so quintessentially English…
checkout their song called ,In My Chair ,,,slow burn boogie ..or you'll love the drums on the song "I gotta go home " non stop drums for almost 10 mins
They were known as The Frantic Four. You need to see them live. Their show opener for many years has been Caroline, Glastonbury 2009 or Download Festival 2014 shows them at their best. They also did an amazing cover of The Doors Roadhouse Blues.
I have seen several American reviewers showcase Status Quo. I'm really pleased that our cousins across the pond have now discovered Quo and enjoy what we have had for decades. You're a bit late to the party but, hey, better late than never guys.
I had to look them up too. Apparently, they are still together and performing. That's one of the cool things about so many of these 60s, 70's and 80s bands. They're still going. It's a lifestyle for many of them. So many modern bands seem to come and go after a short time. I even watched a video the other day talking about how, as far as chart inclusion - at least in the US, there are very few bands anymore. Most are solo artists. And even fewer of the newer bands write their own songs. I know the only constant is change. There's just something sad about this trend away from bands though.
The only original member still performing is Francis Rossi the lead singer and lead guitar. The band broke up in 1984 when the drummer left. They decided to call it a day then and went out on a stadium tour called End Of The Road '84. One of the concerts is available to watch in full on TH-cam. Francis and Rick Parfit the rhythm guitarist stayed together and with a new drummer and bassist they set off to make more music. Not sure when the keyboard player joined them officially but he's been with them for many years. Rick battled addiction for many years which took a toll on his health. Sadly he died a few years ago but Francis has kept going. They did have a reunion with the original four members which was called Return Of The Frantic Four. As happens so often with these groups it was done at the right time for them all. Since then the original bassist has also passed on. I believe the current tour is the last tour as Francis is retiring.
I saw them recently at Scarborough & Halifax. Both sold out & both gigs were fantastic. 2 hours of solid rock n roll. They’ve actually played 42 shows this summer across 9 European countries.
Status Quo .... Three-chord British Rock Gods. Check out all their '70s output and more. "Down the Dustpipe", "Caroline", and "Paper Plane" are my favorites. Interestingly, they started in the mid-60s as a great psychodelic band. Check out "Pictures of Matchstick Men" and "Ice In The Sun". Status Quo are beloved in the UK. Heard in all British Pubs throughout the '70s, '80s and beyond .... Awesome stuff!!! 🤘🤘🤘
57 Top 40 Singles in the UK between 1968 and 2010, 22 Reached the Top 10 {the last to do so being The Anniversary Waltz Medley in 1990} and Down Down was the only Chart Topper Status Quo ever had. 24 Top 10 Charting Albums between 1973's Piledriver and 2019's Backbone. 4 of which reached #1 - 1973's Hello, 1975's On The Level, 1976's Blue For You, and 1982's 1982. There's so many hits to react to but here's a short list for ya.... - Pictures of Matchstick Men - Ice in the Sun - Caroline - Roll Over Lay Down - Rain - Rockin' All Over the World - Again and Again - Whatever You Want - Living on an Island - What You're Proposing - Lies & Don't Drive My Car {it was a Double A-Side} - Something Bout You Baby I Like - Old Rag Blues - Marguerita Time - Going Down Town Tonight - The Wanderer - Rollin' Home - Red Sky - In the Army Now - Burning Bridges And of course the full Anniversary Waltz {Pt 1 and 2}. Personally I feel they fell off big time after 1990 but you could also check out Fun Fun Fun {with The Beach Boys}, and Don't Stop from 96
Man you have just discovered Status Quo!! WOW ! strap yourself in for a VERY long ride :) i could name 100 songs for you but lets start with Caroline ;). Ask 'Mr Rock N Roll what he thinks of the Quo ;)
Formed in 1967, First hit in 1968. Status Quo has had over 100 hits with their last album released in 2022 "Caroline" and "Rockin' All Over the World" being my favs. First released in 1973 & 1977, sounding exactly the same at LIVE Aid 1985 Welcome to the Rabbit Hole !
I was a kid in the 70s and I remember all this great music you’re reacting to - 70s & 80s had the best music. Status Quo were one of the greats - check out Caroline, Red Sky, Paper Plane, Whatever You Want, Roll Over Lay Down, Rockin’ All Over The World - just to name a few. But most of their are bangers - they remind me of AC/DC I’m that they seem simple and repetitive but actually every song’s a banger with unique twists and accents that make them interesting.
I was at that gig, me & my best mate, eighteen years old, skinny as rakes, hair down to our arses - plus five more gigs on that tour, billed as them stepping down from recording & gigging. We should have been more upset when they came back a couple of years later, should have felt conned - but we were elated. Must have seen them live forty times over the years - starting back in '79 as a wide-eyed thirteen year old. Good times.
Silly Americans, we got it all in Australia, loudest concert I ever rocked at in Sydney in the 70's. Bassplayer Alan moved, and laid to rest in Sydney, he is the reason I played Bass gigging around the Emerald City.
Quo were always a Live band. Forty five hundred times Live was long, heavy and hard Rockin'! Check that out. Roll over lay down Live also is a kicker and Backwater. Brilliant!
"Gerdundula" by Status Quo is my favourite of theirs. There's a video of them doing it live, where they do the party piece of strumming the other guy's guitar!
I love your style and enthusiasm, my friend. I’d love to get your take/reaction to Mott The Hoople’s 1972 version of ‘Sweet Jane’ (it was on the ‘All The Young Dudes’ album) - probably one of the best early 70s British rock tracks going (and produced by David Bowie!).
Saw this band many times right up to 2000s. They were huge in the UK for many years. Commonly known as just the "Quo". They were as tight as hell and were famous for the song Rockin' All Over The World by John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival.
The Quo were my very first gig at age 16. Couldn't go to work the next day because I'd done my neck in from all the headbanging! Saw them several times and even took my Mum to see them. Always excellent and addictive. ✌
Saw them headlining "Monsters of Rock" at Castle Don, around 1982. Gillan & Saxon were on the bill but Quo closed it out, and the entire place was bouncing. When Quo played in the UK it was always a huge sing-a-long.

Pronounced stay tus quo!
Good Vid Mate!
My first ever concert was Lindisfarne, Status Quo and Slade in 1972. 3 bands, one memorable night.
Saw Status Quo, Slade, Lindisfarne and Caravan in 1973 at the Randwick Racecourse, Sydney
@@PTRAUSTRALIAQuo at the Hordern. I was 12 and missing England.. this helped (and I don’t miss England anymore)!
Is there anybody out there that wants to rock
Is there anybody out there that wants to roll
Is there anybody out there that wants to boogie
Tonight, live from the apollo glasgow
We have the number one rocknroll band in the land
Will you welcome, the Magnificent, status,,,,,,,,QUOOOOOOOOO!
The best intro ever. Quo live 76. 🤘✌️👌
Then straight into juniors wailing.
Status Quo were the opening act in the British half of Live Aid. They absolutely smashed it.
Listen to Caroline and Paper Plane

The original British headbanger Group. Love the Quo!
Seen them 15 times over the years. Always a a 10 /10 gig. They've sold over 120 million records. Definitely check them out.
A kick ass rock band!! Quo's music will go for a million years!
‘Roll over lay Down’ live!
The Quo are still around although since Rick Parfitt's death, there is only 1 original member.
I was (and still am) a mad Quo fan from 1973 to 1982 (when they started to change their sound). If you just want good 'ol blues/boogie rock, then this is for you. Try 'Rain' and 'Mystery Song' from their 1976 album Blue For You.
This is going to be a deep rabbit hole.
The best Status Quo you will hear is Roadhouse Medley Live.
Ohhh....the hair! I loved living in the 70's!!
Agree with you! No more sexy long haired fella's around anymore...
I grew up with this band, also Sweet, Suzi Quatro a bit of Slade, Glitter Band etc. Fun days.
loved them all, where have all the years gone
We had the best back in the 70s
@@michaellomax2 one name missing from the top list Marc Bolan and Trex, the 70's where great
@@MalcolmPerry-q7m oh yeah, of course. And not forgetting David Bowie too.
Living in the UK, this was the music from my childhood.
btw, they're an English band and pronounce their name the English way "Staytus"
The UK's favourite party band.
Loved how you started nodding your head as soon as the track kicks off. You can't help yourself. Superb band.
💯 Such a great tune!! 🎶

Their song Pictures of Matchstick Men was playing in the Andy Warhol scene in the MIB 3 movie!
Never appreciated status quo, until I saw them live, one of the best live bands I have seen
The band name is pronounced "Stay tuss" Quo, that's how we say it over this side of the pond. Another good Live tune from this band is Roll Over Lay Down. I think you'll love that one.
They very purposefully had been cast to open up LIVE AID! And rightly so :)
And FYI they are still touring in 2024!

Cant believe youve never heard them before, they were huge back in the 70's. Saw them twice in the 90's and they still rocked. cheers.
Such a magnificent live band.❤
Classic rocknroll is timeless. Status Quo are one of the great British bands, they're rock royalty in the UK.
Is that Status Quo I hear? Must be time to party! 'Hooks' were their specialty, there's no Quo tunes from this era that won't stay in your head for days. Woohoo! ✌❤
If you were into music in the UK it was a kind of “right of passage” to see Quo live at least once - a band that never let you down on stage 🎸🎸🎸
The best Quo was 1970-1977. The rest better forget it.
There's nothing like 12 bar blues to get you going. Everyone responds to it.
agreed. This song isn't a 12 bar blues though.
Fantastic live , seen them over 50 times
the Mystery Song and Caroline are great rock and roll
Heads down no nonsense boogie 👌

"Heads down, no nonsense, mindless boogie"
It's served them really well for over 50 years, so yeah, why not. God bless the Quo and RIP Rick Parfitt.
Nice one man, Quo are the best band in the world to me :)
They opened Live Aid with Rockin’ All over the World. They’ve aged well and were around for over 30 years.
You mean 50 years…
Their first single was in the late 60’s.
@@johnnyhock yes 50 is over 30. Pictures of matchstick men, I know. It was more a point about musical importance and Live Aid.
No one wanted to open Live Aid, after Quo went on other acts were going " How do we follow that? "
They still are around after 60 years, just saw them 2 months ago!
Those were the days....venue truly rocking
Yep. My 1st 'proper' band @Apollo, Manchester 1974. My ears rang for 3 days. Awesome. :)
THE GREATEST band the US never got
No, that would be Roxy Music!!
Saw them live for the first time back in 1975😂...i'm gettin' old😅
I saw them a few times in The Greyhound in Croydon when I was a kid.

Seen Quo 3 times live. Great live band.
they still are playing strong
When I was 12 years old I had all of the walls in my bedroom covered with Status Quo posters. 😅
Great taste!
You should see them live. They really do blow the crowd away every time
Massive band
Man you have just discovered Status Quo!! WOW ! strap yourself in for a VERY long ride :) i could name 100 songs for you but lets start with Caroline ;). Ask 'Mr Rock N Roll what he thinks of the Quo ;)
Quo have hundreds of songs on their playlist, you would love bye bye Jonny or mystery song
Mystery Song- so good I named one of my bikes after it.
Formed in 1967, First hit in 1968. Status Quo has had over 100 hits with their last album released in 2022
"Caroline" and "Rockin' All Over the World" being my favs. First released in 1973 & 1977, sounding exactly the same at LIVE Aid 1985 Welcome to the Rabbit Hole !

1974 😊 started my nurses training that year
John Coghlan the drummer was my idol back then.

Status Quo - Milton Keynes Bowl, End Of The Road Tour // 21st July 1984 th-cam.com/video/KbHLgWW8yug/w-d-xo.html

Interesting fact, the main guitar is tuned to open g with a capo on the fourth fret. That's why it took me ages to learn to play it properly😂
First gig I ever went to, Quo at Blackpool Opera House in 1979. Magical.
Just drags you along with a smile on your face.
Noticed I'm not the first to mention this But Caroline, live, from Donington Park is brilliant.
One of my favourite songs of theirs.
I always considered 'Burning Bridges' as their best song! th-cam.com/video/1hKNmgjnh6k/w-d-xo.html
Silly Americans, we got it all in Australia, loudest concert I ever rocked at in Sydney in the 70's. Bassplayer Alan moved, and laid to rest in Sydney, he is the reason I played Bass gigging around the Emerald City.
I grew up listening to Status Quo. Caroline was my favourite back them. Maybe it’s a good idea to pick them up again.
Quo were always a Live band. Forty five hundred times Live was long, heavy and hard Rockin'! Check that out. Roll over lay down Live also is a kicker and Backwater. Brilliant!
This band has been in my album collection since way back in my youth. Love,love,Love them
Me too! Aussie girl here, this reminds me of high school in the 70’s. Don’t know where I’ve put the album though 😭
@karenglenn6707 excellent! I was in high school back then as well. So cool you were too. I'm still in western New York lol.
Saw Quo mid 70's at the Brighton Centre.... amazing 🤩
Quo legends. RIP Rick.
"Gerdundula" by Status Quo is my favourite of theirs. There's a video of them doing it live, where they do the party piece of strumming the other guy's guitar!
Overlooked gem!
Is that the one with5 acoustic guitars?

Great! You have a lot to listen to here with Quo if You want. ! Their catalouge is the best.. from 70, to 80s 90s up tp 00s and beyond..
I love your style and enthusiasm, my friend. I’d love to get your take/reaction to Mott The Hoople’s 1972 version of ‘Sweet Jane’ (it was on the ‘All The Young Dudes’ album) - probably one of the best early 70s British rock tracks going (and produced by David Bowie!).
Saw this band many times right up to 2000s. They were huge in the UK for many years. Commonly known as just the "Quo". They were as tight as hell and were famous for the song Rockin' All Over The World by John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Nice! I haven't heard this in at least 40 years. Thanks, Man!
Thank you for watching! 😁
The Mighty Quo. 💪👏
Pictures Of Matchstick Men from the late 60s is an absolute gem of theirs ❤
Awesome :)
The Quo were my very first gig at age 16. Couldn't go to work the next day because I'd done my neck in from all the headbanging! Saw them several times and even took my Mum to see them. Always excellent and addictive. ✌
Saw them headlining "Monsters of Rock" at Castle Don, around 1982. Gillan & Saxon were on the bill but Quo closed it out, and the entire place was bouncing.
When Quo played in the UK it was always a huge sing-a-long.
Best boogie-rock band ever!
rockin all over the world you just mite have heard that one
Saw them live just a few weeks ago playing Down Down and many other hits. I hadn't realised it, but this was just before they stopped touring.
“Rockin’ all over the world” was one of their biggest singles and had an album of the same name that sold well too.
was only in recent years that I discovered it wasn't their original song.
@@bobbymimms and unusually hardly any time between the original being released and Status Quo’s cover of it.
