Status Quo was my first favourite band and I have seen the original “Frantic Four” live in Hamburg in 1981. It was the first concert I ever went to. With Francis Rossi and drummer John Coghlan are only 2 members of the original band still alive. Rick Parfitt died in 2016.

If you have some time watch this concert from London in 2013, when the “Frantic Four” reunited for a tour and played the songs from their 1976 tour. That’s 90 minutes pure Quo!

Very Sad. I actually met Alan once here in Australia in the early 80’s. It was at a bank I worked in. It was not until I saw the ‘royalty cheque’ that I realised I was talking to THE Alan Lancaster… He didn’t much want to talk about Quo though… for obvious reasons.
