'Pure rock and roll' with a full orchestra backing them up. Don't get me wrong, the music is all fine, but a FULL orchestral backup being 'pure' rock and roll? Hmmmm....
The orchestra are trying not to jump out of their seats. I had the privilege of seeing Status Quo live five times from 1976 to 2000. All their shows were magnificent! On one occasion they even upstaged Deep Purple, on the same night. I kid you not!
Highly trained classical musicians letting their hair down and getting on it with the Quo ! Who wouldn't ? ? It's music - no matter what type , it gets you deep ( er and ) down 😉
c'est la folie musicale qui s'échappe pour se répandre parmi les gens trop sérieux , et leur inculquer l'étrangeté et la rareté de vivre et de s'exprimer , sans compromis , ni complaisance , sans mensonge , ni faux semblants .........
it is the musical madness which escapes to spread among people who are too serious, and instill in them the strangeness and the rarity of living and expressing oneself, without compromise, nor complacency, without lies, nor false pretenses..
I love the way the usually quiet and restrained members of the orchestra are smiling, playing with gusto and even antics, totally responding to the joy and verve produced by these wizened old rockers.Pure delight. What a wonderful collaboration between different musical avenues.
Well this is something I’ve not seen before, bloody brilliant. Saw them in concert, it was mental. G/F knew them so went backstage. Even more mental, magic memories.
Still find after all these years as soon as the initial intro is done, i still start to head bang to the rhythm, sure at 57 years of age, not as hard as I used to but still can not stop wanting rock out to this great song, after almost 50 years from first release
Great to find this video, what a fabulous performance, but then they all were. Thanks for this Folks and RIP Rick, still enjoying the sounds you gave us.
OMG!!!! My goosebumps have goosebumps. This is just amazing. What a feeling it must be to be backed by an orchestra like this and to play to such an audience. I saw Quo in the national stadium in Dublin back in the 70s and have loved them ever since.
Legendary guitar riffs, Status Quo delivers kick ass rock classics! 👏👏👏👏 So now everyone knows where Angus Young of AC DC got influenced to unleash his guitar riffs on the rock and roll world!
I was there 1999, in Antwerp. And we were in the same hotel, as we discovered in Breakfast room, next morning, as Rick Parfitt and Francis Rossi showed up :)
Just how can listening to this not cheer you up ! Pure joy.
For an orchestra that is used to a more formal programme of music this must be a breath of fresh to show their musical prowess.
Listening in 2024, absolutely awesome
At one gig, the MC introduced the Quo as 'the greatest rock and roll band in the world'. He was right. God Bless Rick. ❤
Sem dúvidas.
Glasgow Apollo ..... 1976 ?
What's this Dad? That son, is pure joy. Just some lads having the craic.
Best comment I've ever read
😮😮
Classical Rock n feckin Roll.!
@@whosafeard8131😅ki no último ĺembranca no MP no. M no. M mk
Brilliant comment and not a mobile phone in sight..Happier times..❤❤
The cello man playing guitar is THE best thing ever haha
That day Francis and Rick were 2 feet away from me, just before they came on stage...they gave me a thumbs up.....Still goosebumps!!
The smile on the face of the violinist at about 4.20 says it all.
If you weren't blessed enough to be
there at least we have this recording.
Yeah... that's Andy Bown, he was with the band as long as they excist. ❤🎉😮
You could see the highly trained classical musicians loving it 😀
Just pure bliss .....for real ...woaaaah 😊
One of the most underrated rock bands in the world. Thanks thanks thanks for remember them. RIP Rick.
I like the Cello plater using his Cello like a guitar, Brilliant.
The meeting of two worlds - and what a fantastic collaboration. I can't watch this video often enough. One of the best music videos on here !
Still get chills when Rick starts playing at the beginning after the intro. R.I. P. Rick your a big miss..taken too soon :(
two blokes two telecasters and the result is pure magic
This is pure rock and roll performed by one of the best rock bands there has ever been

@@GH-cz4zr Rossi is still alive and well.
@@GH-cz4zr No problem.
What everyone else said plus...... that intro.... oh my god that intro! ❤

AGREE 💯 with You
если музыкантам удаётся слушателям танцевать прыгать или радоваться музыке значит они великие.они талантливые.они любимы.
Highly trained classical musicians letting their hair down and getting on it with the Quo !
Who wouldn't ? ?
It's music - no matter what type , it gets you deep ( er and ) down 😉
Full marks to the Orchestra! They really let themselves go! Looked like they were at last inhabited? 👍👏👏👏
Foe me the quo will never be the same without Rick Pafit God Bless Him.
I was in the audience, what a night.
Where was this recorded?
@@sidscrote7570Antwerp, Belgium 🇧🇪
Ein genialer Klassiker noch mal aufgepeppt , sehr sehr geil
That performance perfectly sums up pure nostalgia at its very best. Just brilliant !
*Rest In Peace Old Guv'nor :( We will miss you, and your Telecaster :(*
Wow! The whole orchestra headbanging! Awesome!
Awesome bloody awesome
What can you say?
That was just epic from band and orchestra.
Loved the orchestra’s reaction.
I AGREE 💯!!!

When you watch this it reminds you that Status Quo are the best rock group on the planet. Miss Rick so much the heart of the group.......
Not really.
II agree
2024 and still love them , music is great.
what a masterpiece
J'adore cette version c'est extraordinaire
The orchestra and the audience loved it. So did I.
c'est la folie musicale qui s'échappe pour se répandre parmi les gens trop sérieux , et leur inculquer l'étrangeté et la rareté de vivre et de s'exprimer , sans compromis , ni complaisance , sans mensonge , ni faux semblants .........
Love the fact the orchestra are REALLY going for it. Quo were F@@@@@@ AWESOME!!!!
Great to see the violin girls rocking out.
I grew up listening to Status Quo….one regret I never saw them live while Rick was alive……fabulous music will be with us forever. 🎶🎶🎶❤️
I did, even going the night after my wedding. 20th December 1992 to see them with my late brother. They were just brilliant.
Go see the current line up. They're pretty solid and honestly, better than the last few times I saw them with Rick.
Those where the god old days 😉
Massive part of my life ty quo rip rick xxms cdf
A great tune still listening in 2024
Wow! STATUS QUO FOREVER...R.I.P. Rick Parfitt :/ 🎸
Shit. I cant watch this without crying. It´s so amazing. So many memories....
Feel
The same
Me too
it is the musical madness which escapes to spread among people who are too serious, and instill in them the strangeness and the rarity of living and expressing oneself, without compromise, nor complacency, without lies, nor false pretenses..
Beautiful
That is such a good statement
I love the way the usually quiet and restrained members of the orchestra are smiling, playing with gusto and even antics, totally responding to the joy and verve produced by these wizened old rockers.Pure delight. What a wonderful collaboration between different musical avenues.
One word: FABILOUS!!!!!
Magnificently BRITISH!! Bravo
The orchestra's members are amazing 😍🤩🤪 Epic version, a masterpiece 😍😍
Bach & Mozart ( if still alive ) would be air-guitaring to this - they know a tune or two ! 😉
Especially that double bass player at 3:04
My dad loved status quo, they are awesome
Well this is something I’ve not seen before, bloody brilliant. Saw them in concert, it was mental. G/F knew them so went backstage. Even more mental, magic memories.
My first hand to watch, sadly had too many ciders before, well I was 15 😣😣
Still find after all these years as soon as the initial intro is done, i still start to head bang to the rhythm, sure at 57 years of age, not as hard as I used to but still can not stop wanting rock out to this great song, after almost 50 years from first release
My head is banging - and I 'm good 65 😂😂😂😂😂
Saw them in the late 70s, hair was down to my shoulders then.
Still banging today, 65 in ten days.
I'm 70, still loving Quo and not going to stop till I drop 😄
Memories of very happy days
each and all a class act component, the mighty quo, with trusted skilled input:
YES, I was there too. Night of the Proms Rotterdam. Classic meets Pop!
Great to find this video, what a fabulous performance, but then they all were.
Thanks for this Folks and RIP Rick, still enjoying the sounds you gave us.

Love from the Island of Bougainville.
OMG!!!! My goosebumps have goosebumps. This is just amazing. What a feeling it must be to be backed by an orchestra like this and to play to such an audience. I saw Quo in the national stadium in Dublin back in the 70s and have loved them ever since.

Saw them live in Switzerland. Awesome. Great Experience then and now.
FANTASTICI! Quanti bellissimi ricordi ❤❤❤❤❤❤
What were that? Goosebumps all over?? Simply fantastic.
That was just fantastic! Quo always on it, and the orchestra and audience plainly enjoyed every minute! Thank you for posting👍👍👍👍
Rock music is so powerful, sometimes mixed with orchestral, it, s off the scale. How friggin good is this?
I grew up with this music and still love it, like Queen an all the other great bands during the past
Love how the conductor just gives up. He's not in control - the Quo is.
and the orchestra is having a blast just giving it all it got..
Great orchestral enhancement of Quo classics!
How stupendous was THAT ?
Legendary guitar riffs, Status Quo delivers kick ass rock classics! 👏👏👏👏
So now everyone knows where Angus Young of AC DC got influenced to unleash his guitar riffs on the rock and roll world!
The Quo always deliver. Brilliant - you only have to see the reaction of the audience and the orchestra to know what the opinion to this was.
Weeltklasse 💗💗💗💗
Totale Klasse...
I was there 1999, in Antwerp.
And we were in the same hotel, as we discovered in Breakfast room, next morning, as Rick Parfitt and Francis Rossi showed up :)
My favorite group in grammnar school and still today .RIP Rick

Questa musica è troppo bella, mi ricorda la mia giovinezza, a alla distanza di tanti anni, mentre guardo il video 😢
