I have regrets about this band. My son aged about 8 playing air guitar ( he's 52 now and still playing the guitar). I live in Cognac ( yeh that place), and some years ago they headed the bill on Cognac Blues Passion - the audience in a small amphitheatre was only a few thousand- but they played for 2 hours non-stop, and I was totally exhausted at the end. So now, hearing this, with this intro, makes me cry (I'm only 80 years old), the pleasure is indescribable . In a way,(this is going to cause trouble), it reminds me of the big orchestras playing instrumental versions of Beatles songs back in the day. Thank you Quo, for more than 40 years of pleasure 😂😂😂😂
There is not a person alive today who doesn’t smile their arse clean off at this. RIP Rick, and thanks for leaving us with something this goddamn awesome.
This isn't about whether you like the Quo, whether you like orchestral music, whether you like the proms or whatever. It's about whether you like being alive. Joyous.
The music snobs still rattle on about Quo's so called limited music ability but my ears know what they like. Always were and always will be one of the best rock bands ever. GO QUO!!!
They weren't the most talented musicians or even songwriters. No band could rock a stadium like Quo, just the best live band on the planet. RIP Alan and Rick.
First heard Quo in 68 as a nine year old, they've never disappointed. I don't know anyone that hasn't walked away without a smile on their face after watching this performance. RIP Rick and Allen.
I agree and i saw Quo many a time back in the olden days, usually in London, whilst taking the train from Kent, and missing the last train, as we did back then. Their concerts were magic
Just goes to show, how good were these guys. Just look at what's going on behind them. RIP Rick, god bless and thanks for all the entertainment you provided over the years.
The orchestra are playing out of their skins having the time of their lives proving that rock n roll and opera do mix,when it is by genuine musically gifted people and that it transcends all generations. RIP Rick.😄😁🥂🍾👍🍺
I don’t know their names, but can remember in the 80s the pianist had dark hair and mustache and ice cold look, like he was angry all the time. And now almost unrecognizable. White hair white mustache and not so angry look. I think we all going to soften up with age!
Not a single soul unmoved in the building .. not a single foot not tapping .. raw naked rock and roll meets the establishment and what a match made in heaven .. QUO FOREVER !!!
I still remember that show. It was our very first NOTP in '99. Since then, it's a must-be-event for us. Unfortunately, I learnd today that John Miles passed away yesterday.
Oh my good God. What a ball. Quo at the proms and there was not one soul there who did not absolutely rock that. The orchestra adored it, the band adored it and I loved it. Over the years Quo have been loved, derided , but they have stood the test of time. Played Piledriver a few weeks back and it sure did take me back . Joyous music and they have brought pleasure to the masses over five plus decades. I love Quo and God bless Rick . RIP
A lot of people do not seem to understand that the orchestra are professional musicians, who probably had the time of their lives rocking with the legends. I have never seen a french horn so animated!
Love the intro mixture of Star Wars and W.Y.W. and how the orchestra play along with the band and the crowd is unreal and like em or not the Mighty Status Quo always nailed it for the big occasions.....
I was there standing front row. It was awesome. They did play as if they didn`t care about the whole classical orchestra behind them though :) And man, it was loud.
I have watched this many times. Its very addictive and its bloody brilliant. The orchestra are obviously loving it as well. The intro by the orchestra is damn good. Rick on the guitar at the start makes the guitar sound absolutely beautiful. All in all its a video if you like Quo you cannot afford to miss. RIP RP you brought much joy to everyone over the years. RP you are surely missed by everyone. Andy Brown the keyboard player wrote this song in about an hour. He thought he had done it and asked his wife to look at it. Her reply was. I think you have done it. Thank you for uploading this classic video. PC. 22. 10. 2020.
This is fantastic. Status Quo were the first band I ever saw live: Brighton Conference Centre December 1979. Absolutely superb. For any fans of watching a rock band backed up by a symphony orchestra, go watch Collective Soul with the Atlanta Youth Symphony Orchestra. Unbelievable!
Quo aren't my favourite band but they are the best I've seen live. Absolutely wonderful sound they create. Luckily played on the same bill as them a few years ago and before the loss of Rick (rip).

Still can't believe Rick & Alan have passed away... ☹️
Could not agree with you more.
Couldn't have put it better meself; this is pure class... 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
AMEN BRO!!!!!!
The dude on the double base gets me every time! Living his best life! 😂
This isn't about whether you like the Quo, whether you like orchestral music, whether you like the proms or whatever. It's about whether you like being alive. Joyous.
Music like this makes you realise that you ARE alive.
There isn't a musician or an audience member in that arena that will ever forget this performance......Just brilliant..
Yep 💯👍🏽 but fantastic owe only 4 grips on guitar EADG
67 years old and still love this great band....rocking never stops..
3/4 of a century old diggin it bigly from Utica NY
Rock on. 62 years coming up
I'm 70 and still rockin'

R I P rick, STATUS QUO ONE OF THE BEST MUSIC FOR EVER
The music snobs still rattle on about Quo's so called limited music ability but my ears know what they like. Always were and always will be one of the best rock bands ever. GO QUO!!!
They weren't the most talented musicians or even songwriters. No band could rock a stadium like Quo, just the best live band on the planet. RIP Alan and Rick.
With over 60 (correct) chart hits, more than any other band, who cares what music snobs say. Terrific group
Their longevity and their sell out concerts speak for itself.
Absolutely brilliant ☺️☺️
Everyone has the right to be an idiot. Or a King Cnut. I respect thet tou think that idiot pop music is your bag.im also so very happy you can read.
First heard Quo in 68 as a nine year old, they've never disappointed. I don't know anyone that hasn't walked away without a smile on their face after watching this performance. RIP Rick and Allen.
This has to be one of the most epic performances ever, still gives me goosebumps
Who ever suggested Quo at the Proms was a genius as was the person who approved it.
This is pure musical gold. Can’t believe how much fun the orchestra are having let alone the band
The sax player reminded me how hard it is to smile and play at the same time.
Best rendition of this song ever played.
I agree and i saw Quo many a time back in the olden days, usually in London, whilst taking the train from Kent, and missing the last train, as we did back then. Their concerts were magic
Great to see the classical musicians loving it
I have never seen so many smiles on the faces of an orchestra that has to play boring msic for a living ?
Used to go to their concerts every year with my three daughters. Nights to remember. Thanks Status Quo.
One of THE MOST underrated intros to a song EVER!! Seen Quo loads live and will never tire of their music and particularly this video!!
This performance is gorgeous. I never saw an orchestra swing like this
Just look at how may people like them they make music fun .
Status quo have been in my life for 50 years, great band
Even the orchestra musicians were getting it on - effing brilliant - unforgettable!!
They were iconic and broke through every barrier as shown here.
How can you not ROCK to this?
What a classic. Always loved Status Quo.
R.I.P Rick. Gone but definitley NOT forgotten.
Glad to say that we saw the QUO live twice .
Wow.. Just when I think it doesn’t get any better, I find this video.. Wow
WOW! I mean F****G WOW!! Its jest GREAT to see the orchestra head banging away with the Quo and rocking their arses off. Absolutetly FABULOUS.
Just goes to show, how good were these guys. Just look at what's going on behind them. RIP Rick, god bless and thanks for all the entertainment you provided over the years.
The orchestra are playing out of their skins having the time of their lives proving that rock n roll and opera do mix,when it is by genuine musically gifted people and that it transcends all generations. RIP Rick.😄😁🥂🍾👍🍺
Quo definetly died when Rick died.
This deserves more likes. Outstandingly good rock 'n' roll from Quo and friends.
I don’t know their names, but can remember in the 80s the pianist had dark hair and mustache and ice cold look, like he was angry all the time. And now almost unrecognizable. White hair white mustache and not so angry look. I think we all going to soften up with age!
@@bubamaranovichok4901 it's easy to find out yourself,mate🎹🎵
Rick & Francis were a total powerhouse of rock!🤟😄🎸🎸🎶🎶
@@bubamaranovichok4901 Andy Brown is the guy you are on about - the 5th un named member of Quo
@@mcfcguvnorsle chitarre cantano.. 🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶💯💯💯💯
To see many of these orchestral dudes getting it on just made it for me. Absolutely f**king incredible!!!!
Just to see members of the orchestra rocking to a timeless classic while playing their will only be one Status Quo awesome .
The young members of the orchestra are having a blast!!
one of the GREATEST rock duo's to ever grace the stage
I am a full time carer. Late at night, I sit out under the stars. These guys put me back together. Does,not het any better.
The most underrated band ever.
Not only the audience is getting a kick out of the music, even the whole band! Amazing, the best!!
How can you not like this? Born 61 so I was a teenager when this was on the radio toplists.
Not a single soul unmoved in the building .. not a single foot not tapping .. raw naked rock and roll meets the establishment and what a match made in heaven .. QUO FOREVER !!!
War live dabei, bekomme Tränen in die Augen
This intro has to be registered in the world´s treasures of history!!
totally brilliant. looks like everyone had a lot of fun excellent!!! GO QUO
I still remember that show. It was our very first NOTP in '99. Since then, it's a must-be-event for us. Unfortunately, I learnd today that John Miles passed away yesterday.
I had no idea they ever did the PROMS BLOODY MARVELOUS!!
The orchestra and this song blend like no other.
truely amazing. great to see a moshing orchestra!!!

Don’t think the conductor knew what was going on 😂
MUSIK FÜR DIE EWIGKEIT....SIMPLY QUO
So true so very true you could tell that the orchestra loved it by the way they where rocking to it.
Great band and wonderful personalities I met Francis and Rick great guys friendly and really grateful of their fans. Viva quo.
I will miss them. I saw them five times over 35 years.
I loved Status Quo. They developed a style and they stuck to it. Good, honest rock 'n roll without frills. Thanks guys.
My favorit rock band EVER!!
As someone who remembers the original release I can only say I wish I had been there for this. B**dy wonderful performance by all!!
Classic rock that rocks...Status Quo at their best here.
With the COVID-19 restrictions being lifted slowly, this performance takes me back to another time and yeah I'm being a teenager all over again!!!!!
A lot of people do not seem to understand that the orchestra are professional musicians, who probably had the time of their lives rocking with the legends. I have never seen a french horn so animated!
_Nobody_ leaves a Quo concert without a smile on their face! :)
Rest in peace Rick. It was great to be there live in 1999 Ahoy Rotterdam. Gladly i have it on dvd.
Thanks for your music. Rest in Peace Rick 🙏
Rock and Roll.....rest in peace Rick. Thanks for making unforgettable and incomparable rock music, sir.
Yes
@@heikotheubert4452 q
Brilliant- love how the orchestra gets in the rocking mood.
R.I.P. Rick, we miss you. Thanks for the memories!
Quo are just one of the best) one great band
What an amazing production with so much energy backed by the orchestra. Can’t help but smile 👏👏👏👌
Only discovered them this year (2022). What a hell of a great band. Love their energy. Makes you want to get up and dance. Just great rock and roll.
I've been a fan since I was 10 years old(1989) and hopefully I'll get to see them live soon
You got a lot of Quo to discover my friend trust me.
what seems so simple becomes so profound given time
They were the best at what they did
Love the intro mixture of Star Wars and W.Y.W. and how the orchestra play along with the band and the crowd is unreal and like em or not the Mighty Status Quo always nailed it for the big occasions.....
those Moments when Rock n Roll wins everything!
Yes 💪
WOW...with an Orchestra...WOW WOW!
Greatest rock n roll band !
R.I.P Rick. your music will live forever.
I was there standing front row. It was awesome. They did play as if they didn`t care about the whole classical orchestra behind them though :) And man, it was loud.
I saw them years ago ,the best i have ever seen ,best night ever .
Now just try and follow that performance. Mind blowing in it's brilliance.
Been seeing Quo every year at least once for over 30 years now ! Always a great show !
Yeah...keep rockin' mate!...🎶

This is when a collaboration really works!
Immerse yourself in the QUO.
Now that's rock and roll.
rock and roll the best band ever
How anyone could put a thumbs down is beyond me... BRILLIANT!!!
Probably unhappy human beings.
Unaware...
Because they're heathens!
@@rogersimmons8788 Haters perhaps.
@@rogersimmons8788 now now, we all have our own opinion just because it does not run in line with yours.
Quo = rock n roll! Love it😎
THE ONE AND ONLY---STATUS QUO!!!
Loved watching the orchestra rock out with SQ. .
Status quo Best British Band Ever miss you Rick Parfit may you rest in piece Buddy..🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Tears of joy every time!

Its seems unreal Rick parfitt no longer with us . When you think of status quo you think Rick. R.I.P. and thanks for the music.

Esta banda é fantástica! As guitarras,a bateria,enfim...tocar assim,deve ser um sonho.É incrível...estou sem palavras!...
This is fantastic. Status Quo were the first band I ever saw live: Brighton Conference Centre December 1979. Absolutely superb. For any fans of watching a rock band backed up by a symphony orchestra, go watch Collective Soul with the Atlanta Youth Symphony Orchestra. Unbelievable!
Mine too - the End of the Road Tour in July 1984.
WOW! Quo with an 80 piece behind them. Excellent!
Rick...you were rocking all over the world.....RIP
Quo aren't my favourite band but they are the best I've seen live. Absolutely wonderful sound they create. Luckily played on the same bill as them a few years ago and before the loss of Rick (rip).
what an astounding rhytmguitarist he was, truly the man behind the genuine status quo beat, RIP Rick
Utter categorical legend was Rick!
Amen go that.
What a gig that was!
Great Session with a` fantastic orchestra and the the greatest Status Quo and the fantastic Rick Parfitt R.I.P. forever!!!!
