ALAN CHARLES LANCASTER otherwise known as NUFF, has passed away in Sydney, his home for 45 years. The founding member and the backbone of STATUS QUO had been suffering from Multiple Sclerosis for many years. Alan battled on bravely, performing at QUO's Reunion gigs in 2013 and 2014. Even though he had MS, Alan's performance and his vocals were the strongest of the three. My favourite member of QUO is Alan Lancaster. I had the pleasure of having a beer and a smoke with Alan at a Sydney pub gig, in Five Dock, when he had The Lancaster Bombers and The Lancaster/Brewster Bands in the late 80's. We had a longer chat at The Lewisham Hotel as well. These were dirty, grungy hotels, though this didn't phase the great man of the people. Alan was the most beautifil man, very humble, down to earth and a great guy to talk with and have a laugh. Vale Alan ( Nuff ) Lancaster RIP mate, you were one of the greatest Rockers of all time.

This is how Status Quo was, has been again and always should be! The chemistry on stage, the sound - it’s roots, it’s origins it’s home!

I've been a loyal Status Quo Fan since 1975. Every Day I wish Rick and Alan would come back from Heaven to make great Rock with their Bandmembers again!

For those who forgot or didn't realise yes the Quo were once this fuckin good

Fantastic that they got it together before it was too late - makes me smile to see it everytime.

I'm a (early) Quo fan since 1970 and this is real magic to watch! Great to see Alan and John again. It sounds fantastic and look at the smiles on their faces! Good luck guy's with the coming tour, I will be there!

Saw them around 10 times at Newcastle City Hall, from 72 to 82..brilliant always.

Now thats the real Quo .

John is an amazing drummer!

This is brilliant. After falling out and not speaking to each other for years they were assembled for this documentary for one last time. RIP Rick.

The greatest rock band to come out of the UK...Ever!!!!

First single i ever bought.

I was there...the real Quo for the very last time [Manchester]....treasured memories.

The best rock band EVER! Love them to bits

....StatusQuo les vrais, c'est super bon, bravooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ich kann das noch gar nicht glauben...einfach nur Geil...Die alte Truppe....das erste mal live gesehen 1978n in Hannover Eilenridenhalle..........es war Klasse

Spot on, amazing, suddenly the old quo sound....after all this time...I can die happy now :)

Absolute Class from British Icons, 👏👏👏👏 from Glasgow 😎 🇬🇧

Rest in peace Alan Lancaster 💔 xxx

So sad Rick and Alan now gone. RIP

omg, they sound like they did when they first recorded this song...wonderful..thanks

Status Quo - the greatest band ever! Rick Parfitt the Legend of Status Quo! RIP

Beautiful seeing the lads together. So glad they did this.

One of my favourites, love the lyrics

The magic of the 4 of them together, fab! .....

I'm glad the four of them had one last hurrah before it was too late, however old differences resurfaced which was a shame. Rossi looks so uncomfortable in this. RIP Rick

How frigging good does that sound ? Bloody hell love it that's the Quo I remember .

Watering mouth! Boy oh boy! The damnedest, purest, steadiest and most faithfull rock band: The UNMISTAKABLE ones!!

First record i ever bought, memories or what !!

When you look at Alan Lancaster he looks ancient, but I still rate him as one of the best Bass guitarists I've ever heard, and he sings vocals on Roadhouse Blues which is brilliant

RIP Alan Lancaster

The real quo Rick Parfitt looked so happy

First record I ever bought. January 1971.

RIP Alan Lancaster Another light goes out of the fantastic four

That was great. When I saw them back in 1973, Alan Lancaster had long, black hair, a biker jacket and he looked like the kind of guy whose bike you didn't want to knock over! This clip is smashing. They all look like they are still having fun with it.

Sounds wonderfull, so lucky to be at their 2013 reunion tour !!

This is how this band was great, not playing that crap they ended up doing!

The one, the only, the original, THE BEST!!!!

Bring a tear to a glass eye this

Great tune great band rogue mouse

my teeth where laughing now we couldn't stop smiling ☺

Oh! memories, first record I ever bought.

Very best version ever.

come on guys this is just the best

Super ,une que j'aime beaucoup ,avec le groupe au complet ❤❤❤

In my chair the song that got into Quo in the 70s loved the bluesy feel to it

One of the best rock n´roll band ever!!!

takes me back to the glasgow apollo when they recorded the live double album with the stones mobile recording unit up the lane they were so loud then and were the loudest band to ever play the apollo that was first time i ever went to see them

Awesome rhythm section! Awesome Quo.

The best rock'n roll band ever !!!!

Best track they ever did bar none

Ahhhh, what can you say, just fantastic - to see as well as hear. Roll on the tour!!

It's amazing how Alan and John have instantly brought the best out of Rick and Francis........ Bloody Fantastic........ (Rhino.... listen and learn.....)

I saw them first time just after picture of marchstick men, in the days of the best line up, saw them a few times, met john, francis and ricky at the roundhouse, london, they were so lovely, i preferred it in those days with that line up, seen them since with the last line up before rick had to leave

HAD TO WATCH IT THRICE ... 🎧🎧🎧 🤘🤘🤘

This is very cool, the real thing

the love of my life....the quo...super clips...thanks for sharing xx

Awesome!!! :)

GOOD BYE ALAN LANCASTER...LEGEND 🇲🇽

Super star!!!!

aah!!what can you say?lovely slow hand hard blues!!don't do it like that anymore!!Wonderful stuff!!

R.I.P. Rick and Allan. When I was a kid, I made myself a guitar out of cardboard, and all I wanted was to be the rhythm guitar player in Status Quo.

Love looking at the practice sessions ..

Great

Bit of history worth saving for ever

Rock in peace

Thank You....

Having seen these guys live a few times, the closer they play to 'back in the day' be it set list or personnel, the better they are. Awesome!

now thats the quo magic ! sounds fantasic

considering its just a jam session they really are very good,..I hope the whole event is recorded including the rehearsals, history in the making. The simpler sound is the only way to listen to Quo, 3 guitars and a drummer!! I have not bought a studio Album of Quo since 'on the level' way back when, always going for the live concert stuff since them......this is raw Quo!....massive thumbs up!!!!

saw them do this at the Glasgow Apollo.....pure brill.... the real quo....

this line up have a fuller sound Status Quo Frantic Four Reunion is the way please do more shows :-)

Fantastic

TOOOOOOOOOOOOO fuckin right geeeez,im back at Hammersmith for the first time in 20 years to see THE Quo.Ive been counting the days since i got the tickets.

So good!!!

Quo at there best😁

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this line up!!! Just to see them back together for this is gr8, today's line up is gr8 too, I think the new and old line up should something now that would be tucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!

i hope the charlie and the 80's were worth it mr rossi :(

Émotion in motion

uns bleibt die erinnerung 50jahre sq haben uns begleitet

For me, you only get the best of Quo with the frantic four.

its all in the knowing that it is THE frantic 4 that are playing

PLease more songs!!!!!

Francis didn't want to rejoin up with Alan and John, but Rick talked him around and he agreed to take part, Francis and Rick went on TV to do a interview which was quite comical in a way because when Francis was talking Rick sat there and showed a interest and listened, when it was Rick's turn, Francis turned his head away and sat there like he wanted to go, as soon as the interview was over, they went in to separate dressing rooms and left the building through separate doors. they didn't speak to each other after the interview that day.

най, най прекрасни на на свет

Nice raw veraion !

Nuff, you have never been away mate..but welcome home.

This is the quo !

lov em. a man in a helmet said.

The dogs nads ace

Oh dear!

Fuckin A!

Agree although there was no real bonding but far to often someone drops off steps

Thank god people recognise the real quo instead of their now modern crap

Great they buried hatchet and still sound good

Vivann los Quoo
