There weren’t any smart phones in the air in those days. We were there for the music and the atmosphere. No time to be fiddling with gadgets 😂

Thank you.

I first saw Quo in 1975 and again in 1977 at Festival Hall Brisbane Queensland. I also saw Queen in 1977 and without doubt Quo were a much better live band. Queen was stunning but Quo live were the best live band I have ever seen. I have seen about 50 other acts in my life including Powderfinger with my now deceased son and all paled when compared. My then 12 year old son in the 1990's was stunned by the force of playing by Quo and loved them also. Rest in Peace my son.

The Quo I fell in love with. RIP Rick and Alan.

As a prog rock fan it's nice to be reminded just how much I love Status Quo too.

A friend of mine asked me in 1975, how come I, a musician, liked Status Quo? I mean, he said, it’s so simple! I answered, can you make that many people happy at one time? No? Thanks, that’s why I’ve always loved this band! Because they make me feel good!

Priceless, this is when they were a premier rock n roll band, loud and heavy .

[briggs]

I was there. Loudest concert I ever went to.

[leiper]

That clapping under Don't waste my time is marvelous, everyone hands in the room clapped! Today more cameras up than clapping..

Best boogie rock band, period. Hard, dynamic, melodic, great vocals and the energy is just so infectious. The frantic four, that's Status Quo too me. Great!!!

This is the Quo of my youth, seeing them in the mid/late 70's before it all went downhill. The best band to grace the Apollo Glasgow that I saw, including the original ACDC.

I was there queued for ages to get in .This was the start of my tinnitus and still have it now to this day. I am 70 years old and i still listen to quo.

Live from the "cowshed", the Quo of my youth. Great to see and a great reminder of what gigs were like with a hungry young audience. Too much saturation and accessibility has made people bored of live music. I never used to hear conversations going on back then. Now it's sometimes a struggle to find a section of the crowd that don't think their own conversation is more important than what is going on onstage.

The very reason i steered well clear of Quo -Lite !

[dennism]

Wow, no band before or since has generated the power that these 4 guys were able to. Loud, tight, and fucking fantastic, best live band I ever saw.

[DangerousPoem]

Blimey I was there! Only just found this. The next day I was doing my mock physics exam in a school gym, my ears were still ringing. Fantastic!

[yvoheaton]

Quo right at the top of their game. I think Roll Over was rarely off my turntable. So blessed I saw them so many times over this period. Every gig was on another level in terms of audience and performance. Many happy memories...

[roopher]

I remember watching this live on TV with my best mate, Pip. We were HUGE Quo fans and this being on live TV was unbelievable!!
Up there with Queen's Christmas live from Hammersmith. A very different, and not necessarily a worse time!

Mr Rossi playing solos just as when they were first recorded, an absolute legend! ✌️
