This coming February will be 14 years since the idea of the subscription based service "Status Quo TV" was revealed to Quo fans via the official site.

To think what could have been... but it was never going go down well at the time as subscription based streaming services simply weren't a thing.

There was a survey that fans could fill out by answering 13 questions along with how much they would be willing to pay per month.

"How important is archive material", "Is it important to film live never before heard tracks", "Is it important to include old videos"

I remember it well. Presumably they didn't get the answers they wanted to make it financially viable. Pity. Look at streaming services now.

Not like Quo's management/media operation to come up with an idea that's actually ahead of it's time

I doubt the idea will ever be revisited, which is a shame as it was (quite possibly) the only way we were ever going to get to view archival footage or anything to that level.

And no, people hated the idea of having to pay for it. The highest price, £12.99 a month, is eff all when you compare it to the fact that deluxe editions are around £15.99 per release. That was for 6 new programs monthly (at tops) and both new and old stuff on a regular basis.

Not sure how many subscribers they have, though.

You don't have to say it's shit or the band are shit. And I believe, too, the most overused words are "great" and "shit." - Francis Rossi

juansupposin: 21st September 91 at Wembley, the 45 min Guinness concert, probably not the best concert to start, only 45 min, I remeber thinking they will play longer because it was the last concert

backwater67: Paul Hirch filled in for Quo when Andy’s wife was unable to tour. Aquostic was a complete different project for Quo. I was referring to a standard regular live gig on stage with session guitarists. Jagger does still take the lead vocal. Nov 3, 2020 15:32:56 GMT *
