I was 15 in 74, when I first heard this song, now I'm 64 and still listen to status Quo and so do my neighbours 😂, a timeless classic from one of the greatest bands you'll ever hear.
me too
Brilliant stuff xx
The Quo will always be the best band there ever was in the world if it ever stops it will be the end of good music.
Thete is only one volume to play the quo at.. flat out!!
Будем слушать пока живы
Played Quo at my dads funeral last month he was a massive fan hope your rockin in heaven
Of course you did 🤮
RIP ALAN LANCASTER.
Another legend has left us but will never be forgotten 😢
Well said, very very sad day, a valuable member of a fantastic band.
@@andymatthews7617 the founding member of Quo.
RIP Alan.
i've only just found this out reading this comment 😞RIP allan rest easy mate
You know how it goes. Vaccine take its toll. I'd rather see a rock'n'roller die after alcohol and heroine. Now crucify me, assholes! OMG, we'll all get the flu in the end.... WTF!!!!!
I've turned 60, always been a fan of late 60s 70s music, Deep purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, The Doors, Status Quo, The Animals. 👍
Music is not dead yet the black crows are a good band
So many memories to this: in 74 I was 4. My father was 26. We rocked. Now i'm 50 and my father 72. We still rock.
Like you my Dad exposed me to rock n roll
Dad has passed now but I’m still rocking for both of us!
Totisesti!
@@lindareynolds659 our dads are rockin heaven!
I love this. You guys are so cute. God bless you and your dad. And Quo!
I Love the QUO full stop
One of the best rock bands ever formed in my opinion.
RIP Richard Parfitt.
I respect your opinion but there are super better bands.
No gimmicks or gadgets .. just three guitars and a ten piece drunset
R.I.P ALAN LANCASTER
Quo concerts were so much fun. Awesome band and definitely one of the best.
@@javierruiz6792 THATS RIGHT, BUT YOUR ANSWER IS OUT CONTEXT, HE SAID (ONE OF THE BEST) NO THE BEST, SO, YOUR ANSWER IS INNECESSARY
I love it when the drums and bass kick in 🎸🇬🇧
They were an insanely tight band.
@@pfzt And the band suffered from it when the drummer was gone.
@@bowelrupture Yes. Coughlan was a beast, almost as perfect as Phil Rudd.
Wow nearly 50 years,and still sounds fresh . Timeless.
you can't keep a good song down down!! ps, john coglan & i used to go to the same school, kingsdale & 15 years later, i dj'd at his 30th birthday party at the holiday inn chelsea in 1979!!
I'm a huge fan of 70's complicated Prog Rock and I love the Quo. I never understand why some people juge their music as "basic" and "simple" (not to say "stupid"). Their vocal harmonies and instrumental arremgements were just brillant. They found so many great melodies on the 3 blues chords. Nobody ever done that. They were just genius. It sounds easy music untill you try to play it.
So true mate they were brilliant musicians 👍
Spot on mate!!
not exactly true
If I was a darts player....:)
Well said... ✌️😎
I was 15 in 1974. I absolutely worshipped Status Quo. I still love them.
I was 15 too , they were fantastic
Hey Whippy i to was 15 in 1974 and today im going through many 1970 hits it makes me feel so nostalgic i so wish i had a time machine!!!
@@martinwilliams5681 Oh, wouldn’t that be awesome?! The 70s were wild 😜
@@Whippy99 Whippy wild was the word!! lets make that time machine and gooooo! 😁
Same here. 🥰😊
Unashamed, unpretentious, no nonsense, straight forward, nob-out ROCK!
I could be wrong, but is this the best head nodding song of all time? Absolute class!!!!
Correct . Impossible not to nod heads like in Wayne's world movie
🎉I can't find anything better to nod too😊😂❤
QUO FOREVERMORE XXXX
HELLO AGAIN I'M NEARLY 79 NOW AND I KNOW ALL THE WORDS QUO NEED TO WRITE MORE SONGS BEFORE 6TH MARCH 😢
PS I don't know what happens on 6TH March !!
This is what my dad has grown up with, now I’m listening it. Music never gets old
If you ever get a chance get it on vinyl. 8 track is great too. My Dad introduced me to them too 😄
Great comment, good for you 👍
It's what I grew up to am I that old lol
Me too although i am 58 now
Now that i'm 62 i'm feeling me young again.
I bloody love that song.
65 and f45king rocking to the Quo.
I'm 35 and I bloody love this song too, as well as my father does. I'll be always thankful to my father, who's now in your age, for introducing me all the great classic rock and hard rock bands, when I was a young boy.
I’m 62 and I can’t get enough
I'm 23 and have bought 7 of their albums! Now I know why my stepdad loves the quo!
Said it before and I will say it again , class never fades……………..
The groove in this song is unbelievable! Timeless rock genius!
Probably one of the most under-rated bands ever, a sound all of their own
Too much
The Beach Boys with an edge.
Their best song is a cover
I agree, I"m a later in life convert, from the States, and they were never played much on the radio here other than "Matchstick Men." I honestly discovered them through RUclips. This tune is balls out Chuck Berry meets The Zombies with a Quo twist, probably one of the best rock 'n' roll numbers of the 1970s, to be frank (when I was wee lad). Also made me dig deeper into their catalog. What a great group!
Lemmy K. made a whole career out of this song.
60 years old, still loving the quo!!
65 here, met rick at house of blues la, beforehand the show. We snuck in a back door a couple of hours before the show. Brother johntook a picture of us looking like we might have been friends.
So do I
Das wird sich auch nie ändern , ich bin 61 und denke genau so 👍
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.
Thanks for a fantastic comment A VERY VERY SAD DAY, hope he and rick can find peace in heaven.
Old music can be so refreshing
Had to relive my childhood after hearing of Alan Lancaster's passing. Status Quo still rock. ❤️
If u r feeling a little down down, cant beat a bit of quo to pick u up. Fab tune.
Dont think rossi cared that much that rick passed, his interview seemed to speak volumes, VERY SAD.
This is still in my opinion the very best Quo record and sums up just how good they were ..... brilliant song 👍
Das war unser Universum vor ca. 50 Jahren 👌👍🎼, kommt nie wieder zurück. Wir waren dabei 😊
I had the extraordinary good luck of growing up with this...
Great rock band then and now ! !
We all did ! : )
@@spanishpeaches2930 Haha yes indeed
Same quo just doesn't age
me too
This song just kicks so much arse. Simplicity, arrangement, production and performance gold standard.
If james last would had covered motörhead, it would be this sound.
Everybody loves the quo! My old dad loved em and he was 75! Most of us grew up with their great blend of music. Long may they continue to bring harmony to millions of people world wide.
I was 19 years old in 1974,and i have bought all the records i could with Status Quo back then. I have love their music since.I will always miss them,we never get a band as good as they have been in so many years.
Still got all their vinyls. Another 200 years and they'll be worth millions lol
@@joscreemers4360ciao jos!🙋😊😍😘💘
This band gave me so many good times in my life. Great live band. Now my son of 12 is enjoying Quo.
I'm 72 and still love listening to em and guarantee if at a boring party put this on the whole room will come alive PROMISE YOU😅😅😅
Down Down and Nutbush City Limits. GET IN !!!
I concur!
Don't believe it!!!!!
Rick my friend, you deserve a well deserved place in music history.
What a perfect sound...Down,down...but up,up andup for this song! Thank you and God bless you, Status Quo!
Got this stuck in my head after hearing it on the radio last night lol. Great song to bring the new year in with! Happy New Year all!
DOWN DOWN the old year!?
Even after all these years, this song still makes me grin from ear to ear all the way thorough.
It's because they use 'happy' chords
@@sexobscura Would that it were that simple!
I was grinning when I read that.
As a 12 year old black boy in a predominately black neighbourhood, i was snubbed for my love of Quo. 🎸
Beats monotonous Rap any day.
@garypautard1069 Nah, i love a bit of RAP too.
@@earlbrowne6779 He should have said... makes a nice change from listening to rap... give Blondies "Rapture" a listen, I love that track 😀
@robertmitchell9415 i don't this he's as well versed as what we is 😅
I loved Blondie...period
I was only 13 years old and I loved them, greetings from Spain
I'm a 51 year old American living in the state of Kentucky and this is my introduction to Status Quo outside of Picture Of Matchstick Men.....WOW! I'M THROWING CHAIRS AGAINST THE WALL OUT OF SHEER HAPPINESS!
Well, better late than never....:-) you have a lot of catching up to do. Quo have an immense back catalogue.
oh my god!!
you have So many amazing head banging twelve bar songs to get into
nice hits album called twelve gold bars 🙂
In 1974 I was 16. Loved this band and was hooked on the drummer. Brings back teenage memories watching this.
Classic rock never gets old.
seen at Cologne 1976
R.I.P. Rick - you created the sounds of my childhood!
Hell yeah... mine too!!! And nobody can take that away!
Death just did that. RIP Rick
and mine
sorry mate
Me too! I was 7 when my big bro bought this single! 🤘🇦🇺✌️
In 1974 I worked in a concert hall, saw Quo support Hawkwind and also their Hello tour, happy memories, I'm now 65 and still rockin 😃🤩😁
This is easily the Quo's best song. It bangs hard. This song embalms everything else they've done. I love this song.
Like what Mr Big Nose?? Just saying lol 😉👍
Loved by the late, great, John Peel too.
I remember this song in my childhood was my favourite quo song . Great memories ✌️🇭🇲
This song really made me sit up and take notice. Loved them prior also. This vid is great also. Francis wandering around, blaring out one of the most recognisable few chords to ever start a song, Rick casually walking across the stage, slinging his guitar on, Alan in a kind of Zen state and John just giving it the Charlie Watts expression. They encapsulate cool
I was 13years old in 1974, Status Quo was one of my favorite bands then and still are.

Hi Aussie, that's cool, I was 14 in 1974, and I loved the "down to earth" feeling of this one. Still the only one in my class of High School, all the guys were into the ProgRock.
5g hup
Ich bin 59 Jahre jung und finde wieder spaß an der alten Zeit und der tollen Musik.
I was 22 in 1974, but just leaving my Rod Stewart stage ! Status Quo were too much rockers for me then, but ironically at 69 I can rock with them !!
The Quo were and are brilliant
.... this sort of old school rock n roll they did it so well my dad(proper sadly missed) would just turn it up on the radio and whe'd just head bang together...memories that I love...keep it going 👍
Cant beat the long-haired original rockers!!!!❤❤❤❤
R. I. P Rick and Alan. Thanks for the music guys.
I was 11 in 1974 an so today the guitar riffs drives my back down cold. 45 Years later it is really phantastic.....
What a great band. Seems impossible that they are not in every conversation of the best bands
True, On the level is one of my fav albums ever...
I never hear them mentioned
Status Quo always had an excellent Telecaster sound all of them great musicians!
Awesome tune to this day!
Rick Parfitt probably ditched the Gibson realizing Telecasters are superior . Awesome Tune , one of the best .
@@-Atmos1 Theres no superior between LP Special and Tele...
@@tomasvanecek8626 You are correct they are both equally awesome , just a bad choice of word on my part . However , Keith Richards had the choice of any guitar & he preferred the Telecaster .
Teles can take more of a beating and hold their tuning better than most Les Pauls, I have both but both sounds awesomely different!
I was wondering where the faithfull telecasters they always had, where on this!? - dont ever remember seeing them without
I first heard this when it was released. I was 10 years old and it's every bit as great as it was when I first heard it. Seeing Quo live in the 90s was astounding, because I'd never heard a hard rock band play as tight as they did.
Not a single musical molecule escaped from their watertight performance, and hearing Down Down live was just magnificent.
I must have been 14 when I saw them in Düsseldorf in concert. First line, direct in front of the stage, masses squezzed us against the barriers. What a great evenin,what a great band, what a great memory.
Foot stompin, head bangin, pulse racing pure joy and thrill of rock n roll. All rolled up in a few minutes. Genius
*_Legends Never Die, Rick is gonna rocking in heaven from now on_*
I'll drink to that....RIP Rick Parfitt.
But he meet the members of club 27
@@TouchScreenGodü
Growing up with Quo in the background ( well turned up loud) was magical, They ROCKED and they left music for the future................it's timeless.
Рок от Статус кво -шедевр мировой эстрады !!!
👍
It's hard to comprehend that such an excellent soft rock group only achieved their only number 1 with this back in 1974. Well long live THE QUO...
Maybe there was too much good music around then, too much competition?
@@lulassong6524i agree
But alot of there albums went top 10 or number one which is better than having a hit single
@lulassong6524 but many of their albums went number one which was better
I love this version....the way the guys just stroll on stage and just “kinda loose jam” their way into a friggin MASTERPIECE.......
I was 9 years old, when this was played in the radio. And now this song is still getting played by me here on youtube.
I was 18 now am 66 and still belting this out
My first ever gig was the Quo. Had to take the next day off from work - did my neck in headbanging! This is my very favourite Quo song.
Rest In Peace, Rick Parfitt, thank you for your music
I stumbled across a used 8 track tape in 1975 from Status Quo in the US for .99 cents. I love this song. We are so lucky to have this music video. Thank you for all the memories. 50 years old.
Definitely the best ever band😊
Absolute Classic rock, tremendous song!!!!!
Just simply fantastic. Love Alan Lancaster's bass playing here, like a guitar. This song is such a pile-driving classic, yet it's melodic as hell. Francis and Rick one of the alltime great guitar teams.
So true. Thumping good track. Love the guitar and bass combo here.
Best quo song
This got to number one didn’t it? Then a week later the charts were scrapped or something, remember my brother telling me who was a Big Quo fan
Its not easy to strum a bass.
@@Jlipnicki I prefer bass strummers to pluckers. Propulsive.
When I was a kid the Quo were the business. Me and my friends all loved them, bought their records and wore the denim. It's simple, direct music that gets your toe tapping and headbanging. The tide turned when they started doing the Prince's Trust concerts and Dads started liking them. It was over by Live Aid.
The bit where the song picks back up after the breakdown just hit perfectly here.
That 70s camera work, you don't need to be on drugs jesus
Another pop-star who will be greatly missed. Goodbye and thanks for your music - R.I.P. Mr. Rick Parfitt.
ellen R ive just come from Golden Earing saw you there, you have outstanding taste in music chickie
Yes; but, Keith Richards got an extra 7 years.
Rick was Status Quo. Rock in peace Rick. We will miss you. 😢💔
Rick wasn't a pop star.
He was a Rock Star, one of the two best rock rhythm guitarists along with the late great Malcolm Young.
When the bass and drums kick in at 00:38. One of the classic moments of rock music in Quo’s best song.
Agree
Yeah, I know - one snare drum crack and DER NER NER NER NER NER NER NER, DER NER NER NER NER NER NER NER!
This was played at our wedding reception. Can,'t forget watching loads of guys doing the shoulder dance. Still married after 40 odd years😁
The original status quo with Rick, Francis, John and Alan. Alan was gorgeous ❤ 😘
Wow that is so interesting!! Original Quo lucky you xx
@norman smithers wow !!
IMO the only Quo
Me and my friend do wedding gigs and other events as djs, this has been our sound check song for years.
So much great heavy boogie from this era. The Quo is right there with The Pie, Budgie, Foghat, Trapeze, etc.
Budgie. Yes Sir!!
I was 8 years old when i first heard this song it blew my away uptil now it reminds how good the music was in the seventies and still is
One of the first singles I ever bought. I was 6. This still sounds bloody good. A great song.
My first quo single i ever bought was roll over and i still have it i think 1976 now 2022
Used to love this band when I was a kid and still do. Great rock band ever.
In college I played this album so much my roommate threatened to toss it out the window
Should’ve given him a PILEDRIVER 😜
Great song! Great group!
The definitive Quo song🙂👍
Coughlan, Lancaster, Parfitt, Rossi; the only Quo! ♥️🙂👍♥️
SO SAD, ALANS PASSING.😢😢😢😥😥😢😥😢😢😢😢
Seen quo 8 times all I can say is wow. Absolutely brilliant
Written by Francis Rossi and Bob Young and produced by Status Quo, "Down Down" was Status Quo's only number one single on the UK Singles Chart. Released on 29th November 1974 on the Vertigo label. "Down Down" was inspired by T. Rex's debut single "Debora". John Peel was known for playing "Down Down" as part of his eclectic DJ sets. In July 2012, Status Quo reworked the lyrics to create a three-minute promotional song for the Australian supermarket chain Coles. The chorus chants, "down down, prices are down". And that's why we shop at Woolworth's.
Toute mon adolescence 😢
Merci 🙏
J’adore 😻
First band I loved, first gig I went to in 1977. RIP Rick. Great times, great memories
62er here. My first Album was 'Hello' then 'Dog of two heads' and then on and on and had them all. Dunno on how much Tours of Status Quo I was, but it was one of my best times in life. Man, my Marshall Amps were loud and so where thems.....Best Rock Band ever to me. I still play many of their songs with my Band and everyone joins. Playing Caroline is a guaranty of having a chat with a lovely lady back Stage. 'Down down' means party..Frantic Four....as I listen to this five times in a row, and will continue haha
i,m 62 also it,s great.
50 years of this great album On the Level. Superb!
Head banging to this at the Broadway in Morecambe in the early eighties.
Was 13 when this song came out in Australia and was my first love of rock! Thanks guys, and RIP Rick.
I was 13 as well :)
Great Status Quo!!!! One of the best rock albums ever!!!!
In meinen jungen Jahren habe ich Status Quo auch rauf und runter gehört 😅. Der Sound der Band war halt voll mein Ding 👍😉
I’m 55 and still listening to this amazing song and band !!
Quo masters in great guitar riffs intros rhythm guitar playing! The duality between Rossi and Parfitt was once in a lifetime
I remember this when my uncle had cancer he played me and my dad this song on his guitar R.I.P ❤
Absolute classic.
До чего же хороши!
Сегодня те же чувства, что почти 40 лет назад!
A great rocker from one of the most underrated groups in popular music. Deep Purple, Zep, and the Stones can only envy this recording.
Good as it is, I SERIOUSLY doubt that, Mr. Watton.
DokktorDeth I concur. Gary it's immature to take shots at successful bands because a band you like is underrated.
Zep guys don't care even for the beatles.
One of the best songs of the ' 70's.
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SONG IS GREAT. THE BASS AT THE END, AND THE DRUMMER MAKES IT LOOK SO EASY. AS FOR FRANCIS AND RICK, WHAT CAN ONE SAY.
This is one of at least five Quo tracks that stand the test of time and are classics.
Geweldig optreden,GREAT PERFORMANCE after so many YEARS this stands as a rock..!
