This week saw a Classic Rock Album with boogie levels set to 10: Status Quo - 'On the Level' (1975), at which point they were at the top of their game, in terms of quality output and popularity. How did they do it? Here they are playing one of their biggest hits (from 'On the Level') to show us all how it's done:



Of course, we would be remiss to post this without mentioning the death of Don Van Vliet, who's demise was announced during the broadcast of the Show. He was a legendary performer, an inspired composer and a true one-off, original artist. Long will his influence be felt in the world of music.
