Proud to have been on their road crew, it was Rick who got me the job in the first place. 😊

Absolutely FANTASTIC , I would love to be back in this era again - no mobile phones , social media , gas guzzling unreliable Fords and British Rail - Oh and the Marquee Club !

This is the best of Quo, they were never better than this.

Yes, this was their great period, around Piledriver and they reached their climax with the album Live 1977. This is really great, totally great.

Quo when they were Quo, at that time they were Quo and had never entertained any thought of being anything else but Quo. They were the finest exponents of Rock/Rhythm'n'Blues/Boogie/Goodtime Music on the Planet Earth! Then Coghlan left, things changed etc etc but they still produced the best Quo-type music of all time! Quo oh-oh-oh, oh

I was working there at the Marquee when this happened, fab night .

NOBODY did it like Quo.

Nothings beats this, nothing comes close. Status Quo performing Don't Waste My Time - the legend in full flow.

No one ever came close to Quo playing that Head-Bangin' Shuffle Beat, I have many a sore head and neck to prove it!! The most exciting and thrilling bands I ever saw live

Listen to Lancasters bass line! It's what's makes this song so great! Simple, but so f...ing powerful!

"Played rock & roll as if they invented it" great words, they certainly owned it

Parfitt the engine, vastly under-rated musician R.I.P. man.

Status Quo at their best in the 70s loud and proud

I saw them in Scarborough in 1975 I think it was. I was deaf for the whole of the next day and still can't hear high-pitched sounds like crickets. Worth it though.

Oddly enough, I found out this week that my sister-in-law has had tinnitus since seeing the Quo in Plymoth 25 years ago. The gift that keeps on giving. None of us would not have gone to the show, though.

Quo is my All Time favourite sound.1967 Matchstick men..1972 ,Germany, Pile-driver, blond hash,French crystal,I was in speed-ball hyper-drive...no more speed..always Quo

Having gigged, extensively myself, in the USA (as a blues musician) I can never understand why Quo never made it there. Playing this sort of material and other "bluesy" stuff they could've been H-U-G-E on the blues scene.

They got into some fight with the management and didn't bother to make it big there anyway... A pity, as you said: with that brand of music and that level of musicianship, they would have been HUGE.

God what an awesome clip.....they were red hot in the 70's no other hard rock band could touch them then!!

Paper Plane, Quo at their finest

My girlfriend gave me Hello! as a Christmas present in 1973 and I got hooked at once.

the best rock and blues band ever :)

That brought back some memories! If that was the gig with free entry with a melody maker ad, then I was there! Best Rick Parfitt guitar. I have wanted a junior ever since I saw that working in temper.😊

Saw them at the queensway hall dunstable around '72 and they were brilliant. #rockon

I love this clip, its usually over dubbed with the album version for any dvd or tv clip put out, but this is the raw clip pukka !! I have these two clips on vid, auired years ago, im sure there must be someone out there that has the whole gig on vid or transfered to dvd, id love to see the whole gig as would many Fans of the FF era, surprised the management has put it out there

jonemz I guess this is a confession,but realised the live '76 album production on Coughlan's playing was poor i always felt,but watching close up it's so obvious the sound didn't fit what the man was thrashing out ! (seen them 18 times),no big deal,but i want to make a point about John Coughlan. I crancked the mystery song up max everything on a bose system in a country house once,and wow,he is thumping the bass like he want's to trash it ! Man at the back,i never appreciated how fucking great he played,i was always too far away live in big venues where the sound was never great,wembley a great example! I apologise for my ignorance,it was only a recent work mate who enticed me to re-establish this in my own mind,and here i am in nostalgia LOL ! JOHN COUGHLAN aka SPUD (see old footage of bye bye johnny,poor quality sound in b&w,but he's killing the snare and hat)

I used to play along with this tune over and over when I was a kid....

Wonderful hairy times

miss Rick so much still can't believe he will not ever be on the left ever again ...

I loved Quo back in the day still do. Great live.

Very interesting to hear how Francis' lead guitar playing has developed and dare I say vastly improved over the years. He is so much more confident and fluid nowadays, and his guitar has been worked on and improved with the G&L bridge it sports today.

'Don't waste my time', great example of modern jump blues. the genre actualy pre-dates rock and roll. Love the Quo!

From 72 thru 75 I worked in the West End and would often go into the Marquee after work. Saw some wonderful bands during that time. Including this very gig! Thank you for posting. Its magic!!!

The best Rocking band of the world: Status Quo, the Frantic Four!!! There is no substitute! Still love them. I am now living for Christ, but all they sang in years of the 70- and 80-ies has all come true for me. It's like one big prophetic Revelation to sing the songs from those years! Unbelievable, but it is really true. Only the song 'Reason for Living' didn't come out, because my prayers where Answered(!) by Jesus Christ! Halleluja! And yes, she was wasting my time, but helped me find the Lord Jesus Christ!

RIP Rick.

where as the time gone,brings back great memories, quo at there peak;)

I love how Francis swithches from the jump blues style lead guitar, to a more Delta blues style in the middle of "dont waste my time", roundabout 2:33, then back to the jump blues style at 2:48.

Great beat of real music.

MAGISTRAL !

I saw on New Zealand TV in 1976 these 2 songs PLUS they also played Roadhouse Blues from the same gig. An Irish guy I chatted with said he saw the TV clip of Quo at this gig playing Bye Bye Johnny. Has anyone else seen these clips? What the hell happened to the master tapes of those 2 classic clips?

Wow, never bettered. Spud absolutely killing it at the back.

Oldie but Goldie.

Those were the days!

My wife and I are going to see Quo next month with my elder sister and her husband. I can't fucking wait!

I absolutely agree with everything you said my friend thank you very much take care stay safe bless you
