The mighty Quo. No other band could have opened the biggest concert in history. It just had to be Quo.

By the time Quo came on we were all at fever pitch. Slept on the concrete outside the stadium the night before, barely any sleep, hysteria mounting all morning, and with the opening piano chords of Rockin All Over The World all the energy just released. It was a great start to an amazing day.

I was laid up in a hospital bed in Norwich I was in a bad way when this was on. I spent the whole day with a Nurse and a couple of fellow in mates watching the whole show, into the US bit! Well I pulled through, a crash at Snetterton racing bikes, lost a kidney and punctured a lung, and am still here 35 years later. So I want to say thank you to the NHS and all these musicians who made my time pass a little bit easier! Thanks to all of you!

There I was, 17 years old, jumping in front of my TV when this song came on. I brings tears to my eyes, how lucky I was to be young at that time and fully live the moment

[SuzyQ]

There isn't a band on the planet who could have opened Live Aid with such aplomb. Status Quo rocks. xx

Born in 1970 and therefore a teenager of the 80's, these kind of video's bring tears to my eyes.

Not one mobile phone in sight just pure bliss what s time to be alive thank you 80s for the great memories

[DutchDixon]

RIP Alan Lancaster.
Thank you for everything!

[neilwilliams]

the pressure of opening live aid and they nailed it with this song

[speeddemon]

Status Quo definitely is one of the most underrated bands outta the 60’s

0:16 I keep going back to that shot. Imagine being in a band and seeing that many people jumping up and down to your music. What a HELL of a way to kick this off!

I'll never forget that day. I wasn't there, I was watching on TV, but I knew it was historic, and despite the fact that he can be a twerp, I was proud of Bob Geldof for what he did. Very proud. I think I was glued to the TV for hours. In my mind, I can still see Freddie Mercury on stage ...

[declanmcdonald]

How good is this, from the most underrated band in the world, ?? they opened the biggest live concert that ever was.

[coonagh]

What a start to the day!!! Status Quo really did rock all over the world that day and they were terrific.

[derekstocker]

Nobody rocks the world like Quo!
Great gig guys and RIP to Rick, and Alan as well, just been informed.

[kevinkennedy]

Considering they hadn't played for months and came back together to open this event
Sensational 🎉🎉

You can never go wrong with a bit of Status Quo

[andrewckiff]

I was there, this will never happen again, a day of legends,

[mattking]

The following year Quo supported Queen here for two nights. I went both days. Incredible. No, really incredible.

Can you imagine being up on stage, playing your song, and looking out and seeing 72, 000 people dancing and singing and clapping to your song?
