The blog now has Status Quo concerts from 6 - six(!) - decades; as many decades as Status Quo also have had hits in! I am not 100% sure, but I think they are the only band to have that...maybe they share the honour with The Rolling Stones, but Quo was first to become
The 70's and 80's has been put up so far...tonight the 60's, 90's and the 00's will be shared with you. Scroll down to the top of each decade...and again; thanks Hershie!

Ok then!
It's officially boogie and Rock'n Roll time! For free, and I can promise you some real gems, hundreds of free concerts to download from a shitload of great bands and artists, with many bands you'll find here, being bands and artists I've been inspired of and have loved, most of all the way back to when I was between 10-14 of age; a youngster discovering R&R and QUO(!!); I'd discovered every Quo album up to 84' by then...And loads of others too of course, many great bands, that is to be found here now...
You'll find:
Bootlegs from all five decades Quo been around in; plus lots of other great stuff! Quite a few Soundboard-recordings out there, so there's many a gem.
Oh: IMPORTANT!:

Pick what to download to a blistering version of ROLD!! Awesome clip!, Also; you'll find all clips I've put up on Youtube by clicking on the screen, 83 clips in all, including a couple of short clips from my own band - New Motion, plus my very first band re-united for a happening last year (2007') , "Ragnarock".
But of course, most importantly: Rock'n Roll!! Download as much as you want for free, and I hope you find something you love, were looking for or both, anyway;LET'S ROCKTeleboogie; 19.06.08

Status Quo Bootlegs:
s Quo
in the 60's:
The bootlegs from the 60's I have removed. This due to them being released on Pye re-releases of the early albums and this blog has an agreement with Status Quo, and will honour the copyrights as agreed upon. I've been given permission to put up unofficial material, but everything that's officially released I can not, and will not put up. My apologies to Quo for having, though for a limited period of time only, bootlegs containing material officially released. I honestly did not know.
I will try and compile a little something for you from the BBC-Sessions from the Dog' album; but I'll have to clear this with Quo's management, to make sure there's no breach of agreement.
This one should be ok though:

Come Rock With Me...
My former band New Motion, recorded 5 songs for a mini-CD in a tiny basement in a little place called Osen north in Norway, back in 98'. This was the only output by New Motion. We were a five piece band, most of the 10 years we existed (1990-2000), however our keyboardplayer couldn't be there for the recording, so Terje Tranaas (by then member of DDE), one of Norways best keyboard/organ players, stepped in.Production by Arnt Egil Rånes, also member of Norways most famous band the last decade, DDE, and myself...New Motion:Vocal: Runar Gillebo
Drums: Jan Egil Ormseth
Bass: Trond Baarseth
Guitars: Mareno Enge (Teleboogie)
Backing vocals: Nils Børge Botten
The CD, contains: A selfpenned, both melody and lyrics by me, Worn Out And Torn, as well as a Buck Owens (R.I.P Ol' Buck - one of a kind!) song one of us had heard, but we never found out the songs name, so we named it Buck No More,others are Brown Eyed Girl, On The Road Again, Yellow River.Here's a taste, The only song from the mini-CD, written by, who was that dickhead again? Oh yes, that would be me...LOL; called
Worn Out And Torn, (new working link...):

Something asked for, about winrar, and how to use it. Some are into computers, others not:-) anyway, here's what you do: Install winrar (from search on the net or it's often found on DVD's/CD's coming with PC-magazines packages). When dowloading a winrarfile, choose a folder for download. Then right click, and click on the menu thats says "extract here", and you're done. Same with winzip.)
