Back when going to a gig didn't mean standing around filming it on your phone. Look at that crowd. Thoroughly engaged with the band. No distractions.

No smart phone, no selfie, just people enjoying music... That's what music is for: enjoy and dance and sing!

My friend Jaap Janssen... ( We are both from the Netherlands) came up with this group... never heard of it. I was with artists as Sailor and so. This shook me to the bone. We both loved it and Status Quo would go with us trough our early years of our yought. First moped, First car, first to kiss a girl, school, homework, resitance to our parents, first job and start our own life. Sadly my friend Jaap passed away in december 2008. Status Quo became a symbol of our life.Thanks Status Quo. Thanks Jaap!

Just pure rock n roll.

RIP Alan Lancaster and Rick Parfitt. They certainly looked like they enjoyed their work.

YOU don't get any better than Rick Parfitt! God Bless him

Best work by a great rock band , all pure rock no gimmicks

Just fantastic. Music for the people. No crap. Just rock and roll ❤️🙏🙏

Seen the quo since the 70s over 100 gigs, need I say any more absolutely brilliant and one time i moshed so hard I pulled a muscle in my neck, the pain was well worth it, im 61 now and guess what im still moshing and to any kids out there who haven't a clue what moshing is go ask your mum and dad 😊

RIP Rick Parfitt and Malcolm Young. Two of the greatest Rhythm guitarist to ever grace the world stage.

Is Rossi the most underrated guitarist in rock history? A truly phenomenal player. Credit where its due. His riffs are unique, faultless and brilliant.

RIP Alan. Thanks.

Man! The energy from the crowd at this gig is insane! Rossi says he looks back at this gig with embarrassment as they were coked off their heads. Still a stellar live performance from the lads I say! As someone who wasn't around to see them in their 70s/80s hey-day, eternally grateful got the chance to see the Frantic Four reunion back in 2013. Long live the mighty Quo!!!

Francis was the epitome of cool in those days. The way they transformed from a pop group to one of the greatest rock bands in history is just amazing. USA never caught on, their loss!!

I was singing this at work in '78 when I did a Tony Iommi impersonation in a machine I working on. My band was booked into a studio to record our first single the following Saturday. Just once I wanna play this loud before I die!

They came to Canada, oh geez 40 yrs ago. I was lucky enough to see them…they were backing up Rory Gallagher…we’d never heard of them. When they were sponsored by AM radio I remember us all going “ oh Guwd’ what’s this ? Nevertheless they were jaw dropping and I’ve had every album since. RIP Rick….awesome awesome band ! 40 yrs and it was like yesterday. Enjoy this band kids , their the shiznia 🎶❤️😎

I first saw these guys way back in the early seventies. In my chair was going up the charts. There was a grand total of 6 of us there. We didn't think they would bother coming on stage. They did. What an evening that was. Fantastic time. I am now in my 70s and remember it as yesterday. One of, if not the best, rock bands ever. Thank you Status Quo

Hell yea....Let the god times roll,Status quo for life...

Back when audiences danced, got shitfaced and muddy. Not watching the concert through a bloody phone screen! Man, Quo really were fukin great live........ if you never saw them, boy did you miss something. They _always_ gave 1000% everytime!

This is pure Quo...great and timeless. RIP Rick Parfitt...

Francis Rossi will never die! ❤❤❤❤ He is eternal Quo has been my life. I cannot imagine a Quoless world. Quo is every breath i breathe, their riffs and their lyrics are in tune to the beat of my heart.

Did you ever watch a live performance on youtube and think bloody hell I wish I had been there? what a great gig this looks, superb audience and as for Quo, just great.

I was 13 when i heard the Quo for the frist time. I,m now 56 and still a big fan. QUO fan forever.......And beyond. 🤘🎸🎸🎸🤘

Ich habe sie 1994 in Köflach in Österreich sehen dürfen und der Sänger hat mich angelächelt und seine Haare zurück gestreicht obwohl sie zusammen gebunden waren es war so süß. Werde ich nie vergessen, ein Erlebnis ich liebe diese Gruppe seit ich mit 9 Jahren ,,In a army now" gehört habe.

I sure wish these guys had caught on bigger here in the US. They were great and had such a groove. Our loss.........................

Soooo many years ago....and yet when I hear their music and see the people enjoying, it feels as it was yesterday.... I miss the seventies when I was child ...teenager... Life is running too fast!

❤❤❤ Одна из моих ЛЮБИМЫХ ГРУПП. За ,,железным зановесом" ох как было всё это услышать....Почёт и уважение им

Big love to quo , my dad loved them as i do now rip pops xx

Brings a tear to my eye every time. My favourite Quo song, played in front of fantastic fans.

I first saw Quo supporting Hawkwind when Dog with two heads came out, on that showing I knew that they would be successful and I was proved right when Hello came out with the smash single Caroline entered the charts.

Eine der besten Livebands ,muss man einfach gesehen haben.

R'N"B at the highest level! One of the best tunes of this great band!

Look at the crowd going bonkers having fun with bad ass rock! SQ will be one of my top bands forever!,

Absolutely Fkin Brilliant...Oh the Memories.

Status Quo were the major soundtrack of my youth. My first record was the Quo Live Double LP which I like til the day. Its great. Thats a real album even to look at. I remember one boy in my football team laughing at me saying "I listen to Supertramp, ahh ha ha...". Fuck that. In 1982 I was 19 and went to my first concert ever, Quo. And later I even took my two boys with me to an Quo Open Air when they were little.

48 years later, it's still a good song.

Bei diesem Konzert wäre ich gerne dabei gewesen 😄

The world just doesn't seem the same, born in 76, Status Quo always been in my life. The day is different but still enriched by the contributions and legacy of these two men. Thinking of Francis Rossi, thoughts with Rick Parfitt Est.

I had the Pictures Of Matchstick Men on a 45 while growing up - in my teens, I bought the Hello album and was amazed that these were the same 4 guys - I have been a devoted fan ever since

Mon adolescence débuts 70s, la vie heureuse sans ennuis, rien que le rock & roll.

This Conzert his the best all Tyme🎸🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸Long Life Status Quo. ❤

All of us who saw them live know how good they were in their prime. Saddened to hear that John Coghlan has retired due to ill health. Keep well John, one of the best.

One of the all time great rock and roll bands of the 70s!!

R I P A L A N L A N C A S T E R We will always remember you and your great bassline for Status Quo.

RIP RICK Thank you for the music and memories your be dearly missed

I saw Quo at Twin Towns about 15 years ago.Man did they rock.lifted the roof off the joint.

Hearing them makes me feel young again... My favourite band ever since I was 13....

Seen The Quo 60 times..... This is one of my favourites. No nonsense, head down, rockin.... Still play Quo EVERY day, Thanks for the memories. God Bless You Rick, miss you like f**k!

So sad that Alan Lancaster has made his transition to the Greater World. R.I.P.

R.I.P. Rick, my favorite Hero when i was young, i still hear Quo at 55 now

Saw them in DeMontford hall Leicester 1976 ...f'in BRILLIANT 😍

One of their best🎸🎸🎸when they were at there best.

Probably my fave performance of a fave Quo track. The fans are going mental in this clip. I should know, I was amongst all the melee down the front. It was a magnificent but sad day. Never saw them perform again until the reunion concerts in 2013 so my memories of a mighty fine hard rock band were intact. Quo Lite never got a look in in my book. How could they ever compare to this????

When I hear this band, old geezer, nothing keeps me in my chair. I jump up and dance my way wildly. Memories of my time... wow ❗

I refuse to spend my day glumly so listening to this awesome 🎶 music. Thank you.

Takes me back to my childhood and youth, Quo we’re the band that got me into rock. Learned to play the guitar from their riffs, have played ever since and am now building a green Rossi telecaster 🎸🎸🎸🎸

Greatest band on earth. Love them since late 70s when I was a teen. They used to play in Hamburg every year. Got all their 50 albums. Just read Francis Rossi' s biography. 🖤♠️

Untouchable in their heydays . Call and response in this tune is amazing . All together so fluently and effortlessly

Just a bunch of dudes jamming and having fun!!! What a concept!

RIP Rick from Barcelona. Great sound and great Status Quo

Can't believe I've never seen this footage before! Absolutely epitomises Quo! Excellent!

The only band I've ever known, never fails to get the audience going. Just watch them. They've all got springs attached to the soles of their shoes.

Alan needs more recognition.He was a founder member as was John Coghlan.

Rumour has it they played a gig in the states, supporting whoever,and the band they were supporting, because of the fantastic reaction Quo was getting from the audience, pulled the plug on them, literally. Because of that,the absolute no no in the music business, Quo vowed never to play the states again. Don't know if this is true, but very believable ☘

Thinking can`t sleep it`s too darned hot so puts a bit of Quo on and Oh yeah! Who needs sleep anyhow. Brilliant!

Ya no hay talento como para crear este tipo d grupos.grcias ala tecnología tengo el gusto y la satisfacción d poder disfrutar verlos gracias a dios

Every band has its issues with not getting on, substance abuse and creative differences. Quo had managed to survive all these years with its various incarnations both musically and different band members. They had the talent, put on great live performances and had catchy tunes to be the major success they were.

Roll over and lay down for the last time Master Rick. Can't believe you have been taken from us. Keep rockin in heaven. Gonna miss you.

I could see them in Cologne Germany in summer 1976. First ride by own car with my fresh driving license. Great !!! Wolfram Dorn, Aachen

Let me correct that last post this is the most wicked god damn fantastic single of all time

Le maillon fort de la chaîne entre le rock'n' roll et le hard rock....X2

The best Rocking band of the world: Status Quo, the Frantic Four!!! There is no substitute! Still love them. I am now living for Christ, but all they sang in years of the 70- and 80-ies has all come true for me. It's like one big prophetic Revelation to sing the songs from those years! Unbelievable, but it is really true. Only the song 'Reason for Living' didn't come out, because my prayers where Answered(!) by Jesus Christ! Halleluja! Many times we rollled over and layed down, but that was in another life-style....haha. Bless be to these guys, it is really a miracle!

I spent the the whole of the 80's in double denim cause of Quo.. good days 🤟

:) It was rossi I first learned blues licks from. The last present my Dad ever sent me was a white work shirt and a black waiscoat! He's heard demos from various bands I'd been in. I reckon it was his way of saying I'd made the grade!

Status Quo Rocks ppl, 🎸🎸🎸 Rock n Roll forever.

Love everything about status quo, isn’t Francis gorgeous

Such a great jam band! So much more than "Pictures...", wish I'd have got to see them during this, or any, era of their music/performing. Peace! Jeff T., PGH PA

Сколько концертов эти группы 50 60 70 80 сделали супер музыканты рок 🎸 навсегда

I would give anything to be 10 yards from the stage in that crowd. The all time best Quo record. Fantastic Quo ! Fantastic Crowd !

Top!!!! For Ever !!!!! Fantastic.......

Yes rip Ricky my boy.Great career and brilliant live.If you don`t rock to these boys you never will.Jim.Liverpool.

October 1st, 2020 and still tuning in to the Quo thanks You Tube.

Still so amazing to see the mighty Quo rock at Milton K this very special gig...Nothing beats this...nothing....Go Frantic Four!!! See you again in 2014! :-)

My favorite song by Status Quo is Pictures of match stickmen. I heard it on the am radio when I was a teenager. Roll over is a good song also.

Brilliant.....the Days of Real Music & Real Performances

Status Quo at their absolute best.....

Superbe! Excellent!🎉

No props in sight just pure natural talent 👍👍

Iconic shot of Rick standing in front of the amps at 4:11:00. What an ICONIC photo!! Rock on Rick Parfitt, you absolute Rock Legend, you will never die, brother!!

Absolutely stonking!
