I have loved this song for many years (reminds me of The Who) but I never heard it played on an American radio station. The Status Quo are very underrated here. Yet, to me they are one of the top ten all time best!
I agree with everything except for them sounding like The Who. The older I get I realise that The Who are very patchy and over rated. Some of The Who songs are very good, yet a lot of them are not. Quadrophenia is a joke of mediocrity and self indulgence. QUO are a trillion times better than The Who...........
Down down deeper and deeper and down, do not know how much further I can go down as down under now Great song that is another of Status Quo's songs that stands the test of time. Some songs from the 70's, listening to them nowadays, sound dated but not this and more from Status Quo
Utter f...ing class.Tight as ducks arse musically that is, its like a throb that is bouncing up and down with your heartbeat, connected to your soul.100% English lads.I love what you stand for, respect your lives, and what you all achieved, Francis Rossi and all, I salute you from the bottom of my Heart
I grew up in Ireland in the 70's when this band started having great success in the UK as well as mainland Europe. When I moved to the states in the late seventies, I was surprised to found out that nobody had really ever heard of them.
True, and it's worse than that. In the States, they are perceived as only having recorded Pictures Of Matchstick Men (and maybe Ice In The Sun), and then vanishing into thin air. Mention anything from Down Down to the Bula Quo film and at best you will most likely get a blank stare.
@@MikeBlitzMag "Ice in the Sun" reached #70 on the Billboard chart in 1968. You still have to sell quite a few units to get to #70. Without American radio airplay it was impossible for the American people to be aware of QUO and their music.
Which is exactly why such mainstream media outlets as radio began a steady decline in influence around that time. There was far too much going on in music in general to bow the knee to one such source and let it dictate one's taste for them. And that in part is why Status Quo was able to successfully tour the United States in 1974-1975 (headlining over the up and coming Heart) on the strength of their On The Level album. They didn't touch on those 1968 moments at all in that tour, nor did they need to do so. The indie press and word of mouth got the job done.
We need a modern day Quo with the same look and attitude of the original.................. Then again there is only ONE Status Quo (this line-up anyway) and there'd be no-one to appreciate them, no Heavy Rock clubs, no Bikers pubs No shed-built Chops, 17 yr old 250 L-plate hooligans with long hair and flares, leather jackets and cut-offs. So I guess it's Long live Quo and here's to Happy days! Thanks for the memories all you boys and girls.
They should tour again, best band I have ever seen and that includes all the other greats including Queen, Rolling Stones, The Who I have seen them all Live and none of them could hold a candle to Quo...
True, however, they had a lot of #2 Hit songs in the UK. More than any artist in history. Even in Australia their 1975 release of "Roll Over Lay Down" the LIVE version, peaked at #2.
There's something strange goin on in this video, has anyone else spotted it. Francis Rossi's guitar keeps changing?? The video starts with him playing a 'sunburst' telecaster with a rosewood fretboard, which then changes to a green telecaster with a maple fretboard. It then changes back later in the video?
That's guitar is not his main Green one, he gave that the Ronseal treatment back in 1970. However, it is his 2nd Green Tele before it got refinished. He still uses that one today for Down Down due to the different tuning. It's now a lighter Green than his old Main one.
classic quo track, great continuity: 0:52 Rick has his white tele, then 2 secs later he's switched to a brown Les Paul, is tis clip a mash up of several versions?
If youre looking good they are playing on different guitars..........verry strange ....Frossi plays on a green tele and on a brown one....Rick on a white and a black one....
I love the killer look Francis gives Rick for walking in front of him on stage...and good on him!!I reckon the drummer was the person causing bad blood between Francis and Rick..A shit stirrer.

Peak period Status Quo, simply great rock n' roll, if you don't like this then you should be banned from listening to rock music forever !
I'm 61 and can still headbang with the best of them. My kids and grandkids think I'm crazy. 🤣
Absolutely brilliant intro , definitely one of the greatest bands of all time , thanks for the music Francis Rick John& Alan.
Far and away their finest moment. Absolute, utter, jaw dropping perfection.

Isto sim é música com alma
Amazing 😲
Status Quo are by far the best group i've seen and heard
Born in 75. Love to think I come down here with this kind of sound in the air
Class
Saw SQ live at the Sydney Hordern Pavillion 1975....blew my mind!
These guys were very good…dance….
First Quo song i ever bought

Olen myös irlantilainen ❤
Jatka samaan tapaan❤❤
RIP Alan Lancaster
Like old quo forever 👍
Energy and power ! ))
Best rock 👍
Saw this band three times in the 70s, once at Cardiff Castle.
Just finished Rossi's autobiography....worth a read
rockin the double denim
.....simply the very best ever😊
Great toon, nice videos, the editing did make me giggle 😃😃
They should tour again, best band I have ever seen and that includes all the other greats including Queen, Rolling Stones, The Who I have seen them all Live and none of them could hold a candle to Quo...
There only no.1
You mean " Their " only no 1
True, however, they had a lot of #2 Hit songs in the UK.
More than any artist in history.

Alan is a real chameleon here, changing many times his colour....
That was the quickest instrument, clothing and venue change I ever saw.
Super muzika .
John Coghlan a un super charisme et un look de l'enfer.
Was für ein Gitarren Sound.
Operator was helplessly trying to fix the camera. All the rest is pure rock-n-roll.
Yes Al, it is indeed. I compiled the video by using clips from three different playback performances - see video description above.
never noticed this before, Rossi's telecaster changes a few time's from a sunberst to his usual green tele😂
ah cool, thanks for sharing a quo classic! :) Our band's just been asked to cover this one at a friend's birthday gig this weekend. Good fun to play.
Al Heeley don't lie
MAGIC TALENT 🤘🏽🤘🏽🖖🙏🏾
...damn forgot this one...a true nugg !

Top10 show
love this band they rock
What a chance to see the famous Rossi Tele @ 0.20 in its original Sunburst before it got the Ronseal Treatment .....Yes Priceless
That's guitar is not his main Green one, he gave that the Ronseal treatment back in 1970. However, it is his 2nd Green Tele before it got refinished. He still uses that one today for Down Down due to the different tuning. It's now a lighter Green than his old Main one.
If this wasn't a Sunday night at the Queens Hotel, westcliff-on-sea then it's spooky
Makes me shop at Coles.;)

Damn is spelt Damn, a Dam holds water.
@@alanstrom2221 sorry mum
