    One of the greatest British bands of all time their style is 12 bar blues over many decades...I grew up in the UK and moved to Australia in 1970, back in the very early 1960 in the UK I was lead singer in a local band "The Demons" I was 20 years old and our rhythm guitarist was only 14 years old at the time he had blonde hair and always got a lot of attention from the girls his name Rick Parfitt he became the blond guy in Status Quo...I was privileged to meet up with him every time Status Quo came to Melbourne for a concert I got back stage passes, at one time I was managing a rock band here in Melb and Bob Young who was Status Quo's tour manager got me back stage passes for myself and my band members which was a real treat...Sadly my friend Rick Parfitt died about 6 years ago, I was in touch with him a month or so before he died he told me he was working on his last album "Over and Out"...R.I.P. my good friend Rick.

    They were a band that 'thrived on the live' - I've seen them live over thirty times, starting back in '79 as a thirteen year old with hair halfway down to my arse. They never get the credit they deserve for being incredible musicians & putting on good shows.

    I think this was the first Status Quo song I ever heard and I still think it's one of their best. It demonstrates how they were much cleverer writers and musicians than they were usually given credit for. One of my favourite all-time riffs.

    From their 1976, 'Blue For You', album. The album version being much better than the single release, as you can tell. There's a good reason why this song is so fast. Rick Parfitt, wrote it over-night whilst left on his own in the studio when everyone else went home for the evening. He was, 'helped', somewhat in his creativity by having consumed a cup of tea laced with a teaspoon of speed, placed into it as a joke, by fellow band member, Francis Rossi. The resultant song was, 'Mystery Song', which, if you haven't twigged yet by listening to the lyrics, is about a young man's interest in a prostitute and the desire to have her all to himself.

      @@garylancaster8612 unfortunately not but that album was played relentlessly in my bedroom too. I first saw them at the Apollo in '78, a year after that album was released, as a 12 year old. Best gig I ever saw although ACDC in the Apollo were always fantastic too. To be fair I didn't see a bad gig there. Deep Purple, Rainbow, Lizzy, Zeppelin, Sabbath, Priest, Saxon, Rush, Motor head, Rory Gallagher and Whitesnake to name but a few. Even saw Def Leppard as a support band to a band called Magnum. The list is endless. Great venue, great memories and great music. 👌👍😎 Just been to see Priest /Saxon / Uriah Heap at the new hydro in Glasgow. Amazing 👌🙏😎

    Brilliant review. And well done for choosing the album version of this song. The Single version does not have the intro or outro and is the poorer for it (but yes it's more radio friendly). As the closing song on Blue For You, this was possibly the last great song that Quo produced, since they turned into a more pop oriented band after this. Another thing you need to know if you want to impress your Quo friends is, Quo from 1972 to 1976 are colloquially know as "The Frantic Four". This helps to define the band in terms of their different musical eras. I'm very much a Frantic Four fan!

    Being a 60’s Soul music fan all my life, Status Quo would not be high on my list…but their earlier stuff was great….”In my Chair” still sounds incredible…”Down the Dustpipe” too still does it for me. Perhaps one of those or from that same era would be good.

      One of the greatest discoveries I ever made as a person on this strange Planet was that Status Quo had an existence prior to the PILEDRIVER album.
      It's impossible to put into superlatives how thrilled and impressed I was when I heard their Psychedelic Pop/Rock songs of the 60's and their albums from
      1970 "Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon" & 1971 "Dog of Two Head"
      As a young fella of 12 yrs old in 1973, it was hard to put into perspective that PILEDRIVER was the same Band that I'd heard a few years earlier playing
      "Pictures of Matchstickmen" and "Down the Dustpipe".
      It was also difficult to associate "Pictures of Matchstickmen"
      and "Down the Dustpipe" as being made by the same Band.
      The dirty, bluesy, grungy "In My Chair" is a whole different matter for long discussion.......
      "I put my car back in my pocket and I'm still here in my chair"
      The saddest story in music history is that of Francis Rossi destroying
      the best and greatest Rock Band of all time by changing music styles with "Marguerita Time" in 1983.

    Great review of the album version. Blue for you was UK no’1 for 3 weeks & charted for 30 week in total. In the states the album was entitled Status Quo & peaked at no’148, staying in the Billboard 200 for 7 weeks. Quo toured the States during this period, unfortunately though they received very little airplay & lacked any quality representation. These guys are a great live band. Check out Quo live at Milton Keynes 1984 & Download 2014.

    Loved this, one of the best 'Quo' songs from '76 (I think), the beginning is reminiscent of their earlier stuff like, "Pictures of Matchstick Men" 1968, and also of their slower songs such as "Living on an Island" from '78 or '79, I can't remember which but it was around that time.

    Status Quo (Stay-tus Kwo) were a British Institution they shifted millions upon millions UPON millions of records here in the UK, but for some reason, never cracked the US. It’s one of those great unsolved mysteries of the world like Crop circles and why kids never swap the empty toilet roll for a new roll once it’s finished. 🤷

    Yes, this is one of their best. I saw them on the "End of the Road Tour" at the Hammy Odeon in 82. They were a powerful rockin band with those Vox AC30's. Then 4 years later i saw them as pale comparison supporting Queen. Then a year or 2 later i saw them at Reading Festival and they had improved. Mind you, i wouldn't subject the Haniers to anything written after the 70s from them!

  • @stevev111
    @stevev111 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    So glad you did the album version. This happens to be one of my personal favourites by Quo, during this era. One of 2 songs picked as singles from their 1976, 'Blue For You', album. The other being, 'Rain.' Both sang by Rick Parfitt. Apparently, this song came about from the result of a teaspoon full of speed put into a cup of tea, as a joke, with Rick drinking the whole lot without so much as a care. Everyone else went home for the night, but he was left in the studio on his own, buzzing from the effects. Everyone else came back the next day and he was still there, still strumming the riff to this song as a result, but he had the words and music all sorted during that drug fuelled night. You can work out for yourself why they called it, 'Mystery Song.' The subject matter is pretty obvious. 'Ring Of A Change', is another from this album that you should listen to.

    Glad you liked it. The single version (which is what I first heard) is just the fast loud bit in the middle, which works very well, but I have grown to appreciate the long version as it gives more light and shade to the track. The mid-seventies is Quo at their best. By the eighties, when they brought in a keyboard player, things were on the slide.

    The album is 'Blue for You' and got its name as part of a sponsorship deal Quo secured with Levi's in 1976. So the album cover was used as a billboard for Levi's at the time. This was actually one of the earliest ever sponsorship deals between a commercial product and an artist. Unfortunately, and as far as I'm aware this is true but please correct me if I'm wrong, the band were naive enough then to not check the small print and never received any money for the deal!

    What are 'STs' in Mystery Song? (Status Quo)
    Rick Pafitt was asked this question by someone on the mailing list: it means 'Stocking Tops,' apparently. The song itself is actually about a prostitute, as confirmed by Francis Rossi at
    Reading in December 1997. Blue For You - Status Quo’s 1976 Album. The 1976 “Mystery Song”, co-written with Bob Young, was composed after Rossi had laced Parfitt’s tea with amphetamine sulphate during the sessions for the Blue for You album. Rossi later said: “He was playing the riff when we left the studio, and he was still playing it when we came back the next day!”

    One of Quo's classic hits. The song concerns a young man's encounter with a lady of the night. Not sure if youtube would let me write the P word Lol

    It’s called Mystery Song because when Rick Parfitt was writing it , sitting up all night in the studio playing the riff( he’d ingested a lot of speed) , quite simply he couldn’t remember what he’d called it!!

    The story goes (documented), that after a long day rehearsing and recording, Rick Parfitt was out for the count but wanted to stay behind to work on a few other bits. Francis Rossi slipped a teaspoon of speed in Rick's tea (unbeknown to Rick) and they all left. Rick drank the tea and wrote this song in a matter of hours about him trying to win over the love of a prostitute. Hence the 'speed' of the track and I have never heard anything as fast as this. One of my all time favourites

    "Mystery Song" was banned by radio stations due to the lyric content.
    So JJ 1540am radio in Sydney played it a lot in 1976.
    JJ 1540am radio was a Govt. station and didn't have any advertisers to offend.
    Australia can thank The Whitlam Labor government for that.

    The tempo of mystery song along with a few songs is both great and bad as a driving song or even worse as a song to listen to when riding a motorcycle.
    Get on a twisty road and hav mystery song blasting through the earbuds and you want to travel a lot quicker than is legal. 😂😂😂
    As has already been commented, in my chair and down the dust pipe along with spinning wheel blues are Quo at what you might call their transition stage, British style blues, bloody great. 👍👍
    Late sixties, early seventies British style blues was all the rage, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, Ten Years After, Rory Gallagher, just to name a few.
