Status Quo - The Party Ain't Over Yet - 40 Years Of Status Quo (DVD)

This has to be one of the best Quo DVD's i have ever purchased. I watch this and always have a smile on my face from start to end.

The main DVD is an autobiographical look at the making of 'The Party Ain't Over Yet' album and also features some rare footage of Quo right back to the 60's, insights from the producer, Mike Paxman, contributions from songwriter Bob Young as well as all the band.

Parfitt is at his hilarious ...
...the Thames? his one liners and jokes keep you smiling. Rossi reminisces of the days of the 'Frantic' four and they both give an honest and somewhat regretful insight to the split up of the original Quo.

You hear tales of songwriting between Rossi and Young, oh such classics, Caroline, Down Down et all and a great sense of camaraderie between all the band members.

Parfitt is at his hilarious best, trying to look the gent on his boat on the Thames? his one liners and jokes keep you smiling. Rossi reminisces of the days of the 'Frantic' four and they both give an honest and somewhat regretful insight to the split up of the original Quo.

You hear tales of songwriting between Rossi and Young, oh such classics, Caroline, Down Down et all and a great sense of camaraderie between all the band members.

You also get a great insight into how the album was put together, seeing overdubs and tracks actually being laid down, all against a background of humour and friendship.

Also on this 2 DVD set is some rare video footage from live sets in the early 70's and some promotional videos of 'Down The Dustpipe, Technicolour Dreams and the classic 'Tune To The Music'. There are also some great tracks of the Quo performing with a full orchestra at 'A Night of the Proms'.

A great out takes section is also included. Can Rick really teleport a guitar???

There is also an insight into Quo's appearance on Coronation Street. Whether or not you think this was a good idea for them to do, there are some very funny moments in it.

What comes across more than anything in this DVD is the tremendous love, affection and absolute respect they each have for each other and their fans. You really can see why the Quo have become an institution, an institution they can be proud of.

P.S. They really can play a bit too!!!!
