OT: STATUS QUO - Legendary, classic UK Rock'n'Roll
Jan 30^th, 2009 at 6:07pm

The Quo!

Since their beginnings way back in the sixties, they've divided opinion. The "three chord wonders" so to speak^ Whatever one thinks of their output, Live is where it's at! Live they are a monster, magnificent rock band. Two hours of uptempo, ChuckBerry-ish boogie, you can't beat it!

On the eve of their Irish tour (February 1st, 3rd & 8th I'll be there!) - thought I'd introduce two excellent clips, to maybe introduce many here to the majesty of Quo. A household name o'er here, never quite made the big splash in the States - so here are two prime examples of a legendary rock'n'roll act.

Those slagging off Quo - give these clips a glance, you'd be surprised how bloody good they still are:

'Big Fat Mama / Rock'n'Roll Music / Bye Bye Johnny Medley' (The Encore)

'Caroline' (The Quo concert Opener - Powerful stuff!)

Roll on Sunday Night in Killarney!!

"If money talks, it ain't on speaking terms with me" !

Time to pull out the Quo CD's at THIS house.

Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt are to two remaining original members.

They had a couple of UK top-ten hits in the late 60's with Pictures Of Matchstick Men and Ice In The Sun. They then had a comeback in the mid-70's as a kind of boogie woogie, good time rock 'n' roll band - and they haven't looked back.

My favourite is Whatever You Want
