Funny I was sitting in my car in the village of Eastry Kent UK 🇬🇧 When they put live Aid on the radio and Quo opened it and I went from feeling pissed off with life from feeling on top of the bloody world 🌎 and they really made my day I can't understand why some people don't like Quo still it's their loss Quo is only the best BRITISH BAND IN THE WORLD and I'm proud to be a no1 fan of them RIP Ricky so sadly missed 😢😢😢❤ but I bet he's Rocking away up in heaven ❤ I really miss the good old days and wish I could go back again 😢 I no it's not possible but I've got my good memory of the good old days 😊 Rock on and on.

Rossi is one hell of a guitar player.

Only Status Quo could have opened for Live Aid and got the crowd in the perfect mood for a great day & night... Brilliant. R.I.P. Rick & Alan.

You mean NOBODY else could have done it? What about all those other years when......oh, forget it.

Piledriver, one of the classic albums of the seventies. Loved it.

i remember the day well, and its been said before, no one could have opened this gig up better. 1000% respect to the quo.

One great example of two rock bands begining with the letter Q. Quo and Queen turning a pop concert into a rock concert.

No one else could have opened Live Aid! They were the perfect choice! This tune is epic!

There's an interview with Bob where he lines out why Quo had to be brought back on stage: 'Whoever would withstand the pressure by opening the worlds' biggest concert? Only Quo can do, so they had to be re-activated!' Quo went on stage, fully loaded as ever, but totally unrehearsed.

Awww... I remember Live Aid being such a big deal back then. We were on vacation, camping somewhere out in the middle of Mooooh Pasture, but we brought a little portable TV and we spent the whole day watching all these great bands....Good memories!

38 years later Fran is still rocking. Gotta admire him ❤ Thanks Quo 🙏🙏

Live Aid !985, watched this with my best ever mate and future wife. How I wish I could go back there....

The sound is fantastic! Rick looks so happy to be back on stage 😊

Outstanding and a magnificent opener. Possibly live music at its best .... wonderful entertainment. Sad to have lost Rick and Alan RIP.

Bloody hell, that was brilliant.

Wembley and Philadelphia both copped great weather for this great day. My wife bought me the 4 dvd set just after it was released years ago. So many no longer with us-Bowie, Freddy, some of the guys from Quo and Cars, as well as many more.

What a jam how could you not like this.

That shot from 03:48 showing the crowd clapping and then panning up and zooming in on the stage gave me chills. Such a perfectly captured moment of sheer joyful rock 'n' roll.

We'd be in hell without the Quo I love them so much. The opening part of the gig has to be one of music's best ever set. The whole of the band deserves a knighthood. And NOW not next year. I am just so glad that I'm still alive to be able to see and hear it. Thank you Francis Rick and ,Alan I will love you all forever.

Rockin? Yeah. Caroline. Yeah. This? Woah. I love they chose a deep cut to end.

Imagine if they got to play a longer set! This was song 3 of 3. You could tell that the first two were a bit "rusty", since they were in retirement at that point in time. By the time they launched into Don't Waste My Time they were visibly more relaxed, warmed up and had the engine rollin'!

Lancaster rocking that double denim like a boss. 😎😎🤟🏻🤟🏻

What a great band 🎸

No. 1 rock n roll band in the land! Nothing more to add!

Well. They didn't want to play. At the time the band was done. Coghlan left a few years before and at the time (1985) Rossi and Alan were not getting along. Also between Rick and Francis things were not good at the time. Drugs and booze were all around. It was Bob Geldof that convinced them they had to be there. Quo hadn't played together for over a year and didn't have much time to do rehearsals. They just got on stage and played. On stage, looking at the audience and all the cameras, it was when they started to realise how big the event Live Aid was and afterwards how good it was they were the first band on stage that day (publicitywise).

It was wonderful that day the weather was perfect I recorded this on vhs tape and listened in stereo on the radio just brilliant.

Never mock the Quo, been around 5 decades 😉

The stress of being too young to ever see live aid.

A fantastic rock band for five decades!their music îs pure rock'n'roll!bravo!

I love this band. Love the videos. Back in the day this band was sooooo big.

I've heard many criticise QUO , until they see them live.

Thank you for another one of the "Missing" performances. Hopefully, we wont have to wait another two weeks until you post the first Sade clip. Many of us have been waiting so many years to see her FULL set. One day , hopefully, the Trust will release the FULL concert on Up-scaled Bluray or one of the Streaming Services.
