The Alan story: there is much more behind than these two sentences....Andrew Bown knows that very well!! It was a sad part of the Quo history - latest when Alan was kicked out, the band was over! After that: it was a SQ tribute band in many ways - e.g. personal changes etc - the gold dust has flown away....it was over and out - partly embarrassing!
Some of the albums written after Alan Lancaster left were just embarrassing pop songs. Interesting statistic: Quo had 21 top 10 singles. 17 of them were with Alan Lancaster in the band, and only 4 after Alan left the band (and 3 of them were cover songs). That says it all. Quo were never the same again (apart from the Frantic Four reunion).
@@andyhinds542 There was What You're Proposing in 1982 (great song) just before John Coghlan left, but you're right, the pop music was beginning to set in during the 80's.

I think I may have bought this on iTunes . Status Quo Live released in 2013. Tracks recorded at the Horden pavilion in Melbourne from the mid 1970’s . I’m sure there’s many others .

@@Lloyd1885 if you know someone who has iTunes on their apple , see if you can just hear a grab from the album. There’s live stuff from Australia , Japan , all over the place. Must be legit though . Otherwise iTunes wouldn’t be allowed to sell it .
The questions were only intended to be heard by the interviewee and the production crew working on Hello Quo film. It just so happens that these raw interview takes are now being shared on RUclips so thank you as I would never have to expected this.
Unfortunately Andy is mixed up and Alan doesn’t correct him. Colin Johnson was still managing the band in 85. David Walker didn’t take over until 88 or 89
On top of this the opening band was The Band of the Coldstream Guards. Quo were on second. I imagine it was felt to just do the interviews and key them speak and do any editing or corrections at the production stage.
If the label was owed two more albums why didn't they just release a double album greatest hits? If the quality of bootlegs were so bad then why did they put dreadful ones on re-issues, such as the 'Live' boxset?
The Sydney Hordern Pavilion recording, on the Live boxset, isn't a bootleg. It's a soundboard recording that Mal Kingsnorth captured during his time with the band. It obviously hadn't been looked after in the past 40 odd years, and was only a cassette. The other deluxes, however, should not have included any bootleg recordings and instead should've included the countless Alt Takes / Outtakes that are sat in the vaults.
@@UnofficialStatusQuo It certainly doesn't sound like a soundboard recording. Also the 'Live' boxset seemed like a bit of a cash grab. Surely they could have given us the Kursaal show or a combination of the other two nights at the Glasgow Apollo.
@ianscholes3049 I don't think any of the 4 shows recorded in 1975 exist anymore. There's a monitor mix of Stoke-On-Trent, but that has 1 full track and bits of others. In regards to the Apollo recordings, keep your eyes out for something in the near(ish) future. The original release was a combination of all 3 nights, regardless of what Rossi may have stated in past interviews. Both Jackie Lyntons intro and Is There A Better way come from the 2nd Night
@@josephbuckley5961Sorry, it's too simple what you wrote about. It's a business. The band has not sooo influence. Management and Record companies have it. Cream of the crop should came out as a single. But the record company said, the song is too fast. Some came not on albums. Better times, heavy Daze, Lucinda. Can you explain me that? When I am reading all this comments, many experts from the show business...

@@70AD-user45 Status Quo in the 80s in general were abysmal. They never could regain the success they had in the 70s.

Barely hear the questions 😂

Andy Brown un eroe dei STATUS QUO 👑
Same with the Parfitt interviews, very frustrating !
The questions were only intended to be heard by the interviewee and the production crew working on Hello Quo film.
It just so happens that these raw interview takes are now being shared on RUclips so thank you as I would never have to expected this.
Interviewer could at least raise his voice
Unfortunately Andy is mixed up and Alan doesn’t correct him.
Colin Johnson was still managing the band in 85.

Alan’s not with it really- he can’t even speak loud enough to be heard.

@@UnofficialStatusQuo So is there a possibilty the rest of the Apollo might see the light of day?
Francis reckons all 3 Glasgow gigs were recorded and might see the light of day.
Francis didn't get on with anyone,he is an egotistical.
The coke did that to him. Alan said that everyone was on it and from what I can tell it changed rossi in a bad way
