Funny how Francis remembers things, because the Live! album isn't strictly just Night 1 (27th October). The Jackie Lynton intro is from Night 2 (28th October), which is what was used in an edited format for the Reunion tour.
4:00 - I'm one of those many fans who think the Glasgow '76 live album is amazing - it's so tight and versatile, focused; full-bodied and dynamic boogie rock and with great sound and attitude. No idea why he finds it such a bummer!
Absolutely, I like music , don't give a shit what kind of music , if it gives me a shiver or it swings like a steam driven pump then if it gives the knadgers a tickle I'm in .
I hated Wild Side. It had no bass and it was the first of a slippery slope. I think it was the point where Francis took over. At least he admits Quo is made up of all those musical genres, which I can hear in their music, but he should NEVER forget all those heavy songs that propelled them to the top. If it wasn’t for them I would have thought of Quo as being just another English band. I may never have heard of Status Quo. But I LOVED that heavy sound. So I, and so many others BOUGHT THE RECORDS. We made you famous Francis. Don’t deny your history, because if you do, it’s the same as saying we didn’t count. And we counted.
I hate to hear Rossi disrespecting a live album which has brought so much respect to the band over the years. It's like everyone else is gone now and no-one can argue with me so it's safe to say whatever I want now and no-one will disagree with me. It's the Francis Rossi Show. Like it or lump it.
He's not really disrespecting it. he's saying he doesn't think it's that good. What people often forget is that the artists themselves will always be their own worst critics. Chances are he listens to his ability at the time and measures it from the experience he has learnt over the years and found it wanting from his perspective. There have been plenty of artists down the years who have songs they think are crap but the fans love it.
Francis does talk some sense, but the interviewer seems to forget that Live at Leeds by The Who is a tad better than most bands live albums, that's an understatement btw
In your opinion! Your opinion is legit, as is everybody's opinion. If I like band b's live album better than band a's, doesn't mean that band b's is the best, just that I like it more. Whenever I put my ideas into a discussion, I always add IMO, because that's all it is.
You think your better now..the live album was and is proper quo..everthing about the frantic four he will dismiss.. I love wild side of life by the way..watch the end of the road where you play it live and see how much the hard-core like it..he comes across as a pratt.
@@walkingtheboogie Caroline was representative of a brand of heavy boogie that cemented Quo's potential to survive long-term as a band ( which was Quo's intention when they deliberately moved away from being a " hits" band as they had been the psychedelic era to becoming a rock band with a solid following and potential to survive long-term). Marguerita Time was a one-off, made at a time when, like a lot of veteran guitar bands, Quo were trying to maintain chart status in the pop-obsesssed 80s . The song isn't even that bad, but those screaming keyboards are well annoying.I never understood why Quo couldn't have carried on with a mix of heavy songs and AOR pop rock songs like Your Kind Of Love off the Back To Back album. Might have even cracked America.
Wild side of life is wonderful. The separation on the live album is awful. You could now tidy the sound up but then you lose the roughness of the original .
@pauljones9061 hawkwind have had some great boxsets released. Rory Gallagher had the complete Irish tour audio released, but for Quo, this hasn't happened...... yet. I say yet as one is ever hopeful. If the tapes aren't destroyed, then anything is possible.
The tapes are safe and sound, whether Universal choose to release them is another matter. Personally I would have John Eden tidy them up. He understands the Quo sound much more than Pip Williams ever did.
@pauljones9061 in another life, perhaps I should have worked as a recording archivist. Might get to hear lots of stuff, some of which no one else would ever hear.
It's well recorded, but poorly mixed. More focus was put on the Glaswegian audience than the band themselves, so it sounds very ambient (almost) and you loose the heaviness of the band. A proper remix for modern stereo systems would bring life back to the recordings.@@bryemycaz
I love hearing the Glasgow audience going for it during Roadhouse Blues, just before "The bit" Slowly getting louder and louder. What I would have given to have been there. Happy though to say I did get there in '82 and '84. On the bouncing balcony! Forever in my memories. No other band would I travel from South Devon to go to the Apollo.

Totally true Francis, If you don't like different types of music you ain't a music lover.
Been a fan from the very start great band, Francis,great guitarist,!
Live! Was The Absolute Pinnacle. They Never Got It Back After That..

No. The who live at leeds is the best live album ever. I like quo live but no where near live at leeds

Rossi has a habit of forgetting what made Quo famous.
If Marquerita time was Quos first single do you think anyone would of brought it ?
@pauljones9061 if Quo's first single had been Caroline, how many people do you think would have bought that?

They should do something with the master tapes.
Apparently all 3 Glasgow shows could be released as a box set.

And Francis really does hate the live album , why ,he seems ashamed ?
He does not think it's well recorded and they made a lot of mistakes during the performances.

The Live album is their best and Wild Side Of Life is shite.
