In this episode of The Quo-Cast, Jamie Dyer looks at Live Aid, marking 40 years since the historic event first took place on 13th July 1985. As many fans will know, Status Quo had the honour of opening proceedings at Wembley Stadium—an iconic moment that’s gone down in rock history.We explore how the idea for Live Aid began with Bob Geldof’s reaction to a BBC news report, the creation of Do They Know It’s Christmas?, and how Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt were brought in to help broaden the appeal of the Band Aid single. There's also discussion of the technology and ambition behind broadcasting the concerts around the world—an incredible feat for 1985.Of course, the spotlight then turns to Quo’s opening set. From the perfect choice of Rockin’ All Over the World, to the deep-cut surprise of Don’t Waste My Time—we explore how their three-song set has been remembered, edited (and in some ways, forgotten) in the years since. We also touch on how Rossi engaged the crowd in a way that predated Queen’s legendary set hours later.Beyond Quo, we look at the rest of the line-up, the Philadelphia concert, and invite you to share your memories.

The album, released by EarMUSIC, is a collection of 17 demo recordings recorded in the 2000s.Many of the tracks went on to be included on Status Quo albums, including Heavy Traffic, The Party AIn't Over Yet, and In Search of the Fourth Chord. Some later found life on Rossi's second album, One Step at a Time, in 2010. Five unreleased compositions are heard here for the first time.The CD version of the album comes in a digipak with a small booklet detailing song background.🎧 The Way We Were – Volume One is out now via earMUSIC.Links to Francis Rossi: The Way We Were Vol 1CD: https://amzn.to/3ETS4OcAffiliate Disclosure:This description includes affiliate links.

It's May 2025 — and what a month for Status Quo fans! Not only is the 8-disc expanded edition of Quo Live dropping, but The Way We Were – Volume One by Francis Rossi is also on the way!

This collection brings together demos recorded over the past 25 years; All written by the songwriting team of Francis Rossi and Bob Young— many of which became Quo album tracks, singles, or appeared on Francis’s 2010 solo album One Step at a Time. Even more exciting: several songs in this collection have never been released in any form before!

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the second teaser track, Money Don’t Matter — a song that originally appeared on Quo’s Heavy Traffic album in 2002 and later featured on the Driving to Glory compilation.I talk about how the demo compares to the final version, how it captures the essence of the song in a raw and relaxed way, and why it holds such strong personal memories for me. Plus, I touch on what Francis himself had to say about how the demo made him reconsider the finished track.
