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.
Pareil..64 balais..des décénnies plus tard ..autant de plasir.. La raquette de tennis en moins..pour le air guitar dans la chambre d'ado..😂 Et les parents , hélas.. Baisse ta musique ☝😁
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 😂😂😂😂
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 !!!
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.
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.
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.
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 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
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!
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!
I'm turning 32 soon and I am so absolutely grateful that my parents introduced me to STATUS QUO when I was roundabout eight years old. Today I play the drums, the keys and I am shit on guitar but I do my best. All thanks to my parents and their very good taste of music. Seeing STATUS in December right here in my hometown of Munich. Can't wait!
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 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.
That's what you want from a concert - and a gig. Brilliant. No idea what the Conductor made of it, but the violins and double bass players were getting down and dirty.
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.....
Not seen this clip before, but it shows just how much their music is loved across this country, they never sold out they just rocked on and on , sod the haters, I've loved the quo since the mid 70s and still love them today
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.
Bawling my eyes out with a big grin on my face! Everybody having the time of their lives! Shout out to everybody who used to go to Carlyon Bay, St. Austell to see Quo (sans orchestra)
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!
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.
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!!!!!!
Amen to that never get tired of listening to this
The fun the orchestra is having makes this a bit special.
The most underrated band ever.
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'
66 and still rocking on
Pareil..64 balais..des décénnies plus tard ..autant de plasir..
La raquette de tennis en moins..pour le air guitar dans la chambre d'ado..😂
Et les parents , hélas..
Baisse ta musique ☝😁
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
There’s amazing and there’s amazing. This is is simply the best of Quo

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.
The dude on the double base gets me every time! Living his best life! 😂
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 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.
R I P rick, STATUS QUO ONE OF THE BEST MUSIC FOR EVER
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.

Quo definetly died when Rick died.
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
Wow.. Just when I think it doesn’t get any better, I find this video.. Wow
How can you not ROCK to this?
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.
love seeing how the bass violinists and cello players go absolutely nuts
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.. 🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶💯💯💯💯
Classic rock that rocks...Status Quo at their best here.
R.I.P Rick. Gone but definitley NOT forgotten.
Used to go to their concerts every year with my three daughters. Nights to remember. Thanks Status Quo.
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!!
I had no idea they ever did the PROMS BLOODY MARVELOUS!!
This performance is gorgeous. I never saw an orchestra swing like this
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
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.
Don't care what anybody says,
still the best live band around.
THE ONE AND ONLY---STATUS QUO!!!
They were iconic and broke through every barrier as shown here.
Even the orchestra musicians were getting it on - effing brilliant - unforgettable!!
Status quo have been in my life for 50 years, great band
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! :)
Immerse yourself in the QUO.
Now that's rock and roll.
Glad to say that we saw the QUO live twice .
War live dabei, bekomme Tränen in die Augen
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!!
The young members of the orchestra are having a blast!!
This intro has to be registered in the world´s treasures of history!!
What a classic. Always loved Status Quo.
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.
How can you not like this? Born 61 so I was a teenager when this was on the radio toplists.
Just to see members of the orchestra rocking to a timeless classic while playing their will only be one Status Quo awesome .
I saw them years ago ,the best i have ever seen ,best night ever .
I will miss them. I saw them five times over 35 years.
one of the GREATEST rock duo's to ever grace the stage
Erre szokták mondani,hogy ez nem semmi! Világ egyik legjobbjai!
Great band and wonderful personalities I met Francis and Rick great guys friendly and really grateful of their fans. Viva quo.
Not only the audience is getting a kick out of the music, even the whole band! Amazing, the best!!
I'm turning 32 soon and I am so absolutely grateful that my parents introduced me to STATUS QUO when I was roundabout eight years old. Today I play the drums, the keys and I am shit on guitar but I do my best. All thanks to my parents and their very good taste of music.
Seeing STATUS in December right here in my hometown of Munich. Can't wait!
Hey it`s not that you are shit on the guitar the point is that you are trying and no one can fault you for that. So please keep it up.
WOW! Quo with an 80 piece behind them. Excellent!
This is when a collaboration really works!
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!!!!!
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 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.
The orchestra and this song blend like no other.
truely amazing. great to see a moshing orchestra!!!
Rest in peace Rick. It was great to be there live in 1999 Ahoy Rotterdam. Gladly i have it on dvd.
Rock and Roll.....rest in peace Rick. Thanks for making unforgettable and incomparable rock music, sir.
Yes
@@heikotheubert4452 q
I loved Status Quo. They developed a style and they stuck to it. Good, honest rock 'n roll without frills. Thanks guys.
Now just try and follow that performance. Mind blowing in it's brilliance.
R.I.P. Rick, we miss you. Thanks for the memories!
ive never seen an orchestra rock as much as this, dead brilliant
Jamie Martin that cello player tho...totally going for and doing it spot on
Watch Metallica’s S&M performance. Rock and Classical done perfectly
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.
Just look at how may people like them they make music fun .
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 seems so simple becomes so profound given time
That's what you want from a concert - and a gig. Brilliant. No idea what the Conductor made of it, but the violins and double bass players were getting down and dirty.
Always enjoyed their music - it’s obvious the orchestra do too
what a rocking performance. the guys really rip it up
the drummer is fabulous!
thanks for the music Rick. Good night RIP
Ed Wawrzonek w
Thanks for the music Rick..A proper "Rock and Roll" star..RIP
I 6 67
Let's all make an effort to preserve this amazing music. Long live Rock and Roll and bands like Status Quo.
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.....
DANKE RICK, für Dein hervorragendes Gitarrenspiel!
Du warst der beste Rhythmusgitarrist in der Welt!
Ruhe in Frieden!

Awesome simply awesome. Can`t believe its just about 2 years with the main man now, RIP Rick God bless you.
Impossible not smile while hearing this. Impossible.

Mine too - the End of the Road Tour in July 1984.
Love the way the orchestra got totally involved Magic
