Rockin' All Over the World
Status Quo Lyrics

@jessicakeung8999

hope u all the best

@peterkwakman7440

Pete from London,had 9 great years living in Norwich, sadly i'm back in London, but hey i remember when i was 22,a big QUO fan then,and they opened the whole thing,that's BALLS...Kircher was decent as a replacment imv..I remember that day in my bed sit LOL!

@theflyluciano7877

I read the first three words and I was like "awh hell yeah, dude" and then I read the rest. Sorry that happened to you, bud. Hope you are doing well after all these years

@rogerblackwood8815

@TheFlyLuciano Thanks 👍 Unbelievably I am still here not on any meds and drinking enough to annoy my Mr's 🥂 I was in Norwich for about three weeks then they sent me down to Guys in London to be near home and that was another couple of weeks. I went back to work about three months later. Funny thing is though, I cam still rewind and see it all happening, but some of the after stuff is missing! There was a rider called Andy Keys in the same ward as me, I think they put all the nutters from Snetterton in the same ward? One of the Martials, Maurice, I can't remember his name was an absolute diamond. He would come and visit all the riders and bring basic things you needed etc. Most riders were from miles away, so didn't get daily visits. What a gem of a bloke, makes you wonder how we got to where we are in society now doesn't it? Have a good day mate 👍

@staticmonkey8436

0:16 I keep going back to that shot. Imagine being in a band and seeing that many people jumping up and down to your music. What a HELL of a way to kick this off!

@susannahhayward6861

There isn't a band on the planet who could have opened Live Aid with such aplomb. Status Quo rocks. xx

@timothyyoung414

Well said!

@outonthetiles

Gotta luv it!! ✌️

@richardkey4289

Yeah, talk about a high stress situation, kicking off a party w/ a billion people watching.....

@tarynmottram994

You should see queen live aid they stole the show of live aid

@koekelmetperen

Taryn Mottram Queen was the best! , but we talk about opening a event like this.
Quo was the best for that

@manfredwilliams3860

That opening piano riff never fails to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

@Inverse_to_Chaos

The first ever riff performed in a 16 hour concert.

@speeddemon8438

Status Quo definitely is one of the most underrated bands outta the 60’s

@armarq8091

You obviously dont know the meaning of the word "underrated"

@speeddemon8438

@@armarq8091 Nah I have a pretty good idea. What I mean by that is they aren’t given the attention by streaming platforms that they should. They made great music and still don’t appear all that often in 60’s playlists….it’s all super mainstream songs from that era

@Sonny_1

@@armarq8091isn’t it similar to “good”

@mxsthxted

70s/80s they were brilliant too

@stephenalanmoore7278

Although the band started with a couple of big hits in the late 60s with songs like 'Pictures Of Matchstick Men' and 'Ice In The Sun' it was the early 70s when Status Quo really established themselves as a major UK heavy rock act.

After that, it was literally a non-stop stream of hits for them all the way through the 70s, 80s and 90s. During those years, it was like they could do no wrong.

@neilwilliams4763

the pressure of opening live aid and they nailed it with this song

@susannahhayward6861

Didn't they ever Neil? The perfect song and the perfect band to to kick off the perfect gig. What an amazing day that was!

@chrismaplethorpe6781

the only song that could sum up the live aid concert. the mighty quo nailed it

@martinhaigh8345

I think they were pretty high...any sober person would probably have locked themselves in the toilet and refused to go on.

@timonsge391

@Susannah Hayward Well at a German morning Show we call Fernsehgarten they had to Play Playback. they didnt neil that but in Most cases they are awesome

@thisbliss81

@Martin Haigh hahaha yea I mind the story didn't they have a snifter after coming off stage and then we're dragged in front of cameras off their faces!! Who cares it was the 80s hahaha

@LukeKetchum7003

The perfect song to open up the biggest show in the world! Bravo!

@mickflynn7360

You can never go wrong with a bit of Status Quo

@norao5056

I'll never forget that day. I wasn't there, I was watching on TV, but I knew it was historic, and despite the fact that he can be a twerp, I was proud of Bob Geldof for what he did. Very proud. I think I was glued to the TV for hours. In my mind, I can still see Freddie Mercury on stage ...

@RobertWilton

I sat in front of the TV, an awestruck kid, for the entire thing. Just amazing.

@socman3988

Nora O very true! I remember watching this also home and knew it was going to be something really big ! Wish I could go back in time.

@susannahhayward6861

Amen to that Nora. Personally I don't care what a plonker Geldof is; he initiated Live Aid for all the right reasons, and it turned out to be the most amazing charity gig ever. The fact that we're still talking about it 35 years later proves that, I think!

@hubufbloke

Don't forget Midge Ure, he also played a big roll in this event, as did so many unsung hero's.

@susannahhayward6861

Just "over analyse" the best rock concert ever, why don't you? From someone who was there ...

@ghostpost905

Born in 1970 and therefore a teenager of the 80's, these kind of video's bring tears to my eyes.

@declanmcdonald8290

How good is this, from the most underrated band in the world,?? they opened the biggest live concert that ever was.

@mxsthxted

11/10 - top performance

@user-im5ee7yu5w

Too many people misuse the term 'under rated'
Even people that don't like them say that they are very good at what they do.
It would be true and correct to say that STATUS QUO are the most criticised and derided Rock Band in history.

They are totally misunderstood.
Up until the time John Coghlan left the Band they were the best and greatest Rock Band in history.
It's a very sad shame what Rossi did to destroy QUO.

@JackRosetti94

RIP Alan Lancaster.
Thank you for everything!

@TheMacrobianSomali

Listening to this in a remote village in East Africa Somaliland. Feelin the human compassion. I love you jolly humans all over the world. Only love and remember y'all from here too long ago lol

@architsaxena6261

@cn206

All the very best to you too from UK!

@royboy2108

It was a great decision for this band to open live aid

@MrUsermister

... with a song title like "rocking all over the world" it had to be perfect !!!

@Super123ps

Local lads from around the stadium , off their faces , obvs had a heavy night / morn but still awesome. Miss ya Rick

And a bad decision for them not to open live 8. Should have been the same band and song 🙄

@pappujack7667

Status Quo was the band that did the opening with Rocking All Over The World.

Pappu Jack we know. Thanks for your input.its in the title. 🤔🙄

@davidwesson9277

Can you imagine being up on stage, playing your song, and looking out and seeing 72,000 people dancing and singing and clapping to your song?

@thejtizzel

You know it's a john fogarty song

@davidwesson9277

@thejtizzel Not surprised. John Fogarty is an incredible talent.

@jonnybirchyboy1560

John *Fogerty

@beatleboy0195

I was 18 and I finished work at 9 that morning & went straight to Wembley & had the most amazing day there. Also told my boss i wouldn't be working that night, he wasn't too happy but relented (he was great for that). There are going to be millions of songs written in the next however many millions of years left and this one will still be the perfect start off song for this concert. I borrowed a friends camera and took many photos at least 4 for every performance they look so tiny to look at now but a great memento.

@youtubeviewer7030

the greatest rock concert event in music history

@adextheboxer9446

if your talking about live aid in general it was, but if your talking about this band, its not lol queen witch they did not add in this for some reason was the biggest band in history

@youtubeviewer7030

@ACT Studios the live aid event i was referring to

@marty6779

@ACT StudiosOH man, everyone talks about the Queen show, and yes they were fantastic. Yet no one else would have suited better to open the concert than Quo. You shouldn't forget that there were about 30 bands/ musicians in London.

@aggy1230

Yep, that was really epic, all legends got together at the same concert to make this world a better place 👌👌✌✌👍👍

@blueg8731

Reember it like it was yesterday. Great weather too.

@mattking241

The following year Quo supported Queen here for two nights. I went both days. Incredible. No, really incredible.

@mxsthxted

Quo top band

@deanothomas1865

Yes me too
All for £17.50 I think 👍

@toddeverett7008

One Of The Most UnderRated Bands, Barely known in the US but Huge Everywhere Else

@raymondjohnson4435

They were like fleetwood mac in Britain

@susannahhayward6861

@Raymond Johnson Except Fleetwood Mac were massive in Britain.

@susannahhayward6861

"Barely known in the US" speaks volumes about the US (only 28% of the population of the US even owns a passport, according to the last stat I read). Luckily for US musicians the rest of the world is a bit more tuned in to US music. Status Quo was always one of Britain's best loved rock bands.

@jozefhatert6231

The fact is everywhere quo showed up you knew you it ended up whit a great PAAARRRTTTYYY WITH LOT,S OF SMILLING FACES

@peterkwakman7440

@Raymond Johnson If they'd stuck to their harder 70's style who knows ? They ponced up sadly, by the late 90's id had enough of their live shows....70's was QUO absolute

@robbie007

The right band opening with the right song that started arguably the best concert ever. The sheer quality of then established and famous acts and then new acts - that later became famous, on stage from UK and then straight to the US concert in one day, was then and remains unsurpassed. This was a one off and will never be repeated. Its of its time, a time when established 60/70s artists blended with the best and upcoming new generation 80s artists. Today we dont have the same breadth of truly globally known acts, if you excluded any here (who are still around). No mobile phones, no PR, just a crowd enjoying the sun and the music and moments when the stark message of why we were there were thrown in. I was there that day, great weather and by far the best musical event I have witnessed. For those of us around there or watching live on TV, we should feel blessed. A moment to treasure. Just like those at Woodstock.

@bodhid

Yes Robbbie. A moment in time. Truly Woodstock for that generartion. When has anything like that happened since? I had tickets for and attended Live8 but it never felt the same and it isn't held in the same regard as LiveAid. Should also be said that the UK boasted at that time a staggering amount of talent, overlapping from the 60's and 70's into the 80's. We're don't have that level of talent any longer. American talent is utterly dominant in terms of cultutal impact now.

@garethwilkinson3456

Yes I agree.

@davidkirkham6497

Great opening song by the Quo! This song was penned by arguably one of the best roots based R&R artist in history, the incomparable John Cameron Fogerty!

@user-im5ee7yu5w

I'm a big fan of Fogerty, though his original version is a bit lame compared with QUO's version.
"Up Around the Bend" remains one of my favourite songs.

@jacksdjfam

The perfect song to open this event

@lucilovecraft1621

Yeah it couldn’t be opened with a more apt song.

They should have done the same for live 8 🙄

@TheAmarok87

At least Chris Martin quoted "Rockin' All Over The World" during Coldplay's performance of "In My Place" at Live 8.

@marcossouza6651

John Fogerty, Creedence, song!

@gwynmaverickjames6098

Yer the perfect way to kick off live aid,brilliant

@pappujack7667

I am somewhere there in the audience. God! Watching this after all these many years really does bring back memories of being at the Wembley Stadium for this Live Aid Concert. By the end, I had almost lost my voice but it was worth it.

It was soooo good wasn’t it? My throat was raw as well, and the back of my neck was bright red. Such a relief when Elton came on and we got that little bit of rain.

@pappujack7667

@Robin Johnston I absolutely agree with you.

@aala7337

Can still remember watching this on tv ,Absolutely the best opening by Status Quo on what was a baking hot day! Happy memories,

@mxsthxted

status quo top band and this is a quality song 💪

@JamesBrewerDJ

This whole day, and I was 9 at the time, it was if God looked down on London and Philly and said, "Yep, that is goodness....I will let them have pure blue skyes, perfect temps and everything they need to make this a success!". Where is the music now in 2023, that even gets close to this...or any performer on the day?

@michaelking8251

rode home as fast as i could from work to watch this.........what a way to start a global event

@SophieLovesSunsets

I really wish I had a time machine so I could experience Live Aid. Queen, Status Que, Bowie, McCartney ... Rock heaven 🎉 It must have been tremendous pressure to open that concert but Status Que totally nailed it. It's clear that this performance really set the tone for the rest of the day. The greatest day in Rock history 🎤🎸

I reckon, between radio plays, playing albums, abound 15 concerts/festivals and so many YouTube videos, since 1977 when this was released, I have heard this song over FOUR THOUSAND TIMES! Never really been a huge fan of it (but It's Quo and I love 'em!) but this still sends shivers down my spine. Was so chuffed to be a Quo fan when they came on as this showed the world what a live band should be like.

@markcowling1275

A lot of people don’t realize that Status Quo had 79 #1 hits in the UK over almost 40 years. I was very fortunate to see them at a ( who are these guys ?) when they showed up and played a Rory Gallagher concert in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 by surprise...geez’ it must have been 39 yrs ago I believe. They were absolutely amazing and firstly I never left my feet or stopped rockin their whole set...secondly, I went out and bought every Quo album I could find. Broke my heart when Rick left us for the rockin rainbow. He and the real Status Quo are just one of those bands that will never go “ out of style “ and I still play them often. Long live just raw kickin’ kick ass rock...and even soulful Status Quo...with love 🎶🎸❤️🇨🇦

@robfinlay8058

79 top 40 hits, not 79 #1 hits!

@markcowling1275

Oops, well my mistake...but my point was really how popular they were/are. Understand that I’m in, as I said Canada 🇨🇦 ,and other than “ Pictures of Matchstick Men “ was probably the only song/hit that was radio played here. They’re not as known here so I found their popularity surprising. I am very much a fan and feel very lucky to have seen them in their “ hay day” so to speak. Thanks for the correction, but I still find that fact quite amazing !

Meanwhile, I was -17; my parents were little kids when this beauty took place. So glad BBC kept the footage.

@SeanONeill-ef5vb

Queen were awesome but I want to give shout out to Status Quo. The band that started it all. Great start to it all and deserve recognition.

@gordyhydro5774

The only band that had the bollocks to open live Aid. The so-called rock royalty all thought. The start was going to go tits up.

@narayan243

Good thing there's no smartphones back then, good beautiful audience just rocking the vibes
