With 120 million worldwide album sales already under their collective belts, two OBE awards, a million neon lit 'Sold Out' signs, a record 103 appearances on Top of the Pops - you d think that one of HRH Prince Charles favourite band had nothing more to prove... but never have their lives and career been laid out in such an unabashed and forthright manner. Collecting hours of previously unseen footage and classic live material with full exclusive access to all band members this is the definitive story of a band that has done and seen it all. As well as full access to the band, Hello Quo! Also features input from a host of the biggest names in rock including: Brian May of Queen, Joe Elliott of Def Leppard, Thin Lizzy, Buzzcocks, Slade, Paul Weller, Sir Cliff Richard and Midge Ure. The documentary also exclusively features the moment when the original line up of the band met again for the first time in over 30 years. A truly poignant reunion, after years of legal wrangling, saw the band clear the air but also plug in and play together once again... This Access All Areas Collector s Edition includes 3 hours of astonishing never seen before Quo footage!

Running for two and a half hours, Hello Quo! documents the fifty year history of the band. All of the key moments of their career are covered, the early psychedelic hits, the change to no-frills rock in the early 1970's, the years of success, the years of excess, the split in 1984, Live Aid, suing Radio 1, Rick's quadruple-heart bypass and then onto the present day, which finds them still recording and gigging, and as keen as ever.
One of the best things about the documentary is that all the members of the group have a voice, and both Alan Lancaster and John Coghlan have plenty of stories to recount.
In addition to Quo members past and present, there's a number of familiar faces including Brian May, Jeff Lynne and Paul Weller who have their own opinions and insights into what makes the group tick.
Apart from the main documentary, there's another three hours of bonus footage, of which the Shepperton Final Cut feature is the jewel in the crown. Running for 45 minutes, it's a chance to see Parfitt, Rossi, Lancaster and Coghlan reunited and performing some favourites from their back catalogue.
This is a great package and a fitting tribute to an enduring band.

Have to disagree with nearly everything Robbuk42 has has said. Sounds like he is one of those anti establishment left wingers who are never happy with anything. Why did he have to mention right wing comedians?? Totally got nothing to do with the price of fish.
I agree there isn't too much new for the diehard quo fan in the documentary, but the bonus disc is great and it get five stars just for the 45 mins jam. The chemistry or X factor that these four had already shows. As for Robbuk42's comments about In My Chair, well, he must have been listening through some very poor speakers! It's sounds great to me, as did Backwater......class!!
So, I thoroughly recommend buying the special edition version, to see the FF jam is pure joy!!

this is a very nice documentry for ANY quo fan HOWEVER i was lead to belive this contained much more vintage footage from the late 60s and the 70s then this did, it contained very little footage from the old days and i have been waiting for years now for some quo stuff to come out from that era ( 68 to 84) it would do me just fine, i dont need all the interviews and stuff like that becouse i have other dvds and footage with the same or similar stories on it, the best part of this was when lancaster got out of the car to meet rossi and co, like i said its a very, very well done doc with a great bonus disc of a jam with lancaster from 2012 but i would prefer a dvd set by quo presenting live footage from 68 to 84, just my opinion, i love quo, i hope that uk tour this march goes well but quo has not played new york now in 10 years and i have little hope they will be back, ive only seen quo twice once in 1997 and again in 03, before 97 they had not been here since 76 and i was to young then to have seen em, so far if the end is near as francis suggests im glad to say i saw them twice!!!!!
