Just after the quiet bit of ROLD when it hits that note before the rumble of the band come in is the ducks nuts . Just that turn..sublime.

Nice one Gaz. Favourite clip for Juke boxes in Pubs down here. Usually one of 3/4 they may have. You can guess other 3....??

When I bought Hello It took ages to get to the other tracks,couldn't stop playing it and then bits of it.The part at 2:43 to 3:03 is inspired genius...still originally brilliant.I sometimes envy those who came to like Quo after 84,back tracking and finding this.

One of my all time favs ever and the 2nd Quo track I ever heard. And the one that convinced me they were a band worth investigating further. I think the light/shade, change of pace, quiet bits, loud bits, - its as brilliant as any other classic, top rate rock track to my ears.
They probably put this together instinctively but they were far more musically aware than they gave themselves credit for at the time. Though I'm sure Francis and Alan studied music at school. I have trumpet and trombone in my head for some reason.

How can you envy those who never saw Quo in the 70s? |

I was listening to Pick Of The Pops on Saturday on Radio 2 and the dj, who took over from Tony Blackburn, played Roll Over Lay Down, as it was at #10, 41 years ago this week, but he didn't play the live version, but a badly edited 'Hello' version and he also said "You may be surprised to know, that this was Status Quo's only hit in 1975" What about the #1 Down Down in January 1975!!!!! What a D***head!!

It's all sublime.
Don't envy me this is one of the bits that got me in, after it started appearing on TOTP, that was some time after the album came out.

A few months later I felt I won lotto when I opened up our local rag to see 'STATUS QUO LIVE' at the Canberra Theatre!!! My first live gig and it was loud n heavy and everyone there was up on their seats n rocking. |

I could never understand why the live version wasn't on 12 Gold Bars, Rocking All Over The Years and Whatever You Want, compilation albums. I'm not sure what version is on the XS All Areas hits package, as I didn't buy it.
