@MrRockNRollLive to me he is one of the best vocalist and guitarist in the world but sadly passed away a few years ago

[@DirkBuschmann-k7v]

To me you´ve just witnessed the best twenty minutes of live music ever played live by any band ever ... and , sadly enough, i am sure this will never going to be topped by anybody

[@4stevio]

Britains most loved band, they always got that sort of response! Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll 12 bar boogie band ever. They earned the reaction from the crowd, they paid their dues the old fashioned way. It’s hard to believe but there was a time when they played to almost empty rooms, but they just kept going till the people got it, and boy did we get it.

[@leo1314ok]

And that is why so many Quo fans will tell you that this is their greatest triumph and the song that defines Quo. Your reaction to the live version says it all. Was there that day and it was simply awesome. Lot's of buses from Glasgow down to Milton Keynes, a 6 hour trip but soooo worth it! We all thought it really was the End Of The Road then and I cried unashamedly several times through this! Just masterful, just imagine how long it took to put together over years of rehearsal and deliver it like that live! Shows why they are rated as one of the greatest live bands of all time.

[@debpowell3250]

Thanks for showing this. Brought back so many memories. Lucky enough to have seen them perform this live. Couldn't hear a thing the next day. Totally worth it. They ROCKED!

[@CraigFrance-o4i]

probably the best live version of a record ever

[@JimS-j88]

Remember it well. I was lucky enough to see Quo many times in the 70s and early 80s. Nobody and I mean nobody did rock n roll like them!

[@gordyhydro5774]

Brought tears to my eyes. I was there such vivid memories. Is this not the greatest driving tune if all time. Long live, and god bless the Quo!!!

[@Timbex2005]

This was my second gig as a young 17 year old, what a gig… what a day.

[@elimhousesteve]

I will always and forever be so greatfull to the Quo for the tunes they produced in the 1970s no one even came close to matching them , this video brings back very fond memories and a tear to my eyes , thank you Mr rock and roll .

[@charliepreston1]

Simply the best Rock n Roll band ever, you just cannot top that. Told you it would blow you away ❤

[@petermartin1967]

Mr Rock n Roll you are a legend!!! Thank you so much for playing this version of 4500 Times. Quo have been a massive part of my life for over 40 years! This was emotional 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@tonypriestley6341]

Interesting to note that quo had already done some 80 shows before they got to the final gig at Milton Keynes on this tour. They were as tight as hell and I saw them a few times on this one and every one they gave 110%. There will never be another band like Quo!

[@treebeard4873]

Status Quo never retire. It's in their name 😊 They are foundations, pillars, of rock n roll creation. And the Quo army carry their music within us always. Is that ok?? Hope so 🙏😎🤠✨👁️❤️🧙

[@spritbong5285]

Alan playing a bass like a lead. RIP Nuff.

[@alanwilson8117]

This is the absolute summit of rock 'n' roll stagecraft. Giving the crowd what they want, getting them up and keeping them there for 20+ minutes!. A song honed over a dozen years (at that time) of jamming together and constant gigging to absolute perfection. I still get goose bumps at several points in this song even though I've been lucky enough to experience it live maybe 20+ times in the late 70s and early 80s and have played it on record, tape, CD, DVD and streamed it probably a lot more than 4500 times! There have certainly been more accomplished and talented musicians than Quo but they were unquestionably the best live rock band ever, anywhere, in my opinion. If tonight's show in Taunton is their last show (Rossi is unbelievably 75(!) years old and still rocking) then I just want to thank Francis, Rick, Alan and John and all the other members of Quo through the years for being the soundtrack of my life from the age of about 10 when my mum brought home, Paper Plane and Caroline from the youth club she worked at. Whenever I feel down, I play some Quo and I'll soon be fine. If I'm feeling good, I play some Quo and I feel even better! Great reaction, Mr Rock N Roll. I really envy you for being able to discover Quo as if they were a new band!

[@PhilipLawson-w1f]

I agree with everything said here. I attended last night’s gig at Taunton. They played a blinder and were clearly enjoying themselves. They did or said nothing obvious to suggest they considered it to be a final gig. But, clearly, circumstances can change quickly at their ages. If it is the last, it’s an appropriate place given that it’s less than 25 miles to Minehead where Rick met the rest of the band in 1965 and the rest is history. A homecoming of sorts. Through thick and thin, thanks a million, Quo!

[@glenchapman3899]

The one thing you always knew with Quo - You were getting exactly what you paid for. No frills , no apologies, just 12 bar boogie rock for the ages. In terms of musicianship, John Coghlan has always been regarded as one of the best shuffle drummers to come out of the UK. And Rick was definitely up there with the best rhythm players. Francis and Alan, were clearly very competent, but really the didn't need to be much more with the style being played

[@JimS-j88]

You said twice in this reaction that you felt like you were on stage with them. That's the essence of a Quo gig, the crowd and the band are as one, in it together. No other band has quite managed to achieve that. There's no other band like Quo!

[@markburleyemmerson1373]

That’s the Quo we all know, their classic live anthem 4500 times. At this show Quo we’re using a Tasco 250,000 watt PA system, which at the time was the most powerful system ever used in the UK. From this show checkout Caroline, Roll over lay down, Don’t waste my time & their blistering version of Roadhouse Blues. Any Americans out there picking up on The Quo? 🎸🇬🇧

[@pauladams3057]

I was there,was also at Palace the week before and did all 7 nights at Hammersmith. I'm 62 now and seen pretty much every rock band from AC/DC to ZZ Top,NOBODY comes close to these live. Unfuckingbelievable.

[@dennism5731]

100% in agreement , nobody rocked harder back in the day.

[@RogerRae-p6w]

I did all the Wembley shows, 7 on the bounce at Ammersmiff 😁, 1 at at Brighton and 1 in Brussels, all on the end of the road tour and it was worth every penny

[@pauladams3057]

​@dennism5731 No gimmicks,no crazy light shows,no revolving drum kits,just the boys,the crowd and the music. Just as it should be.

[@4stevio]

Quo ohohoh, Quo ohohohoh, Quo ohohohoh. Absolutely mind blowing, the breakdowns were positively prog rock!

[@hexedriffsstudio]

You released this on the day that Status Quo played there show ever. What a huge mark they left on the music industry! This was my favourite drummer too personally. No hate on the other 4 drummers but Pete was just such a solid, hard hitting drumming!! Watch this whole show, you'll love it man : )

[@DD66]

Pete Kircher I agree

[@MrWorfy99]

I was at Milton Keynes, the weather was red hot and the band were even hotter. I still have the tour jacket (in fact I have two!). At their peak they were up there with the greatest live bands ever and even now as they come towards the end they still put on a blistering show. All hail the mighty Quo 💙 Btw even this performance was edited, it was actually a few minutes longer!!

[@adrianwalker3641]

The best rock and roll band in the land 🇬🇧

[@ralfsomborn7449]

I saw the Frantic Four live in Germany almost 12-14 times between the 70s and 80s and was absolutely thrilled every time. When they started doing all the cover versions of Beach Boys, Fleetwood etc. in the late 80s, my enthusiasm waned a bit. I'm even more pleased to see the old live recordings here.

[@jb-ox2ro]

Just the most brilliant live band. Thank god they never broke America, or else we would never have seen them so many times in the 70s, in their prime.

[@gordysargylladventures6410]

Seen them at the Glasgow Apollo on that tour. Simoly awesome. This vid brings back so many memories of it. Mr RnR .... brilliant review of a brilliant song. 👍👍👍

[@DD66]

it was an amazing gig, Quo seemed to play for hours, we were right at the front 4 of us, 3 were 18 and my brother was 15, it was a gorgeous sunny hot day and we were sooo drunk, oh the good old days 😅

[@robertgoldberg9541]

Another great music memory for me, as i was there . Incredible band live back then 🎸🎵🍷

[@rodricselbie35]

I was at this concert and for 2 days after I was deaf, the sound was awesome :)

[@jonboy8951]

Check out over the edge from the same concert sung by arguably the best singer in the band, Mr Alan Lancaster on the bass.

[@j0hnf_uk]

Their live performances were legendary. Particular songs being part of their established performance for decades, with the evolution of them being self-evident. They did add a little extra on this tour, though, what with it supposedly being their final one! At the time, there was a slight sense of sadness listening to them, as you genuinely thought it was the last time you'd get to hear it being performed, (and you could argue that it was, in the form that Quo took at the time), but as we knew a few years later, that it wasn't exactly the, 'end of the road', more a slight break in a layby. The other 2 songs that epitomise Quo's live work has to be, 'Bye Bye Johnny', and, 'Roadhouse Blues.' If you listen to this trio, (with 4500 Times), then you get to understand just how good they are as a live act. I can't believe it's 40 years since this live performance. How time flies.

[@stephenrowlands1365]

Hey Mr Rock n Roll I was at that gig 4500 times totally ROCKED

[@susanmccall736]

Sad night for us Quo fans, it's the end, Francis is still going to be doing his tunes and chat shows, but Quo this is sadly a farewell- from Quo fans everywhere, thanks for all the wonderful times you gave us- it just won't be the same with out you x

[@sktakara]

I'm a fan of Status O from Japan. It's been 45 years since I knew them. My favorite QUO album is (If you can't stand the heat). It seems that some people in the UK in their home country say that if they are not original members, they are not QUO, but if Rock is purely inherited, that doesn't matter. I think the current members are also wonderful. StatusQuo is StatusQuo! Next, please go to Road house blues live. よろしく

[@tommycummins1724]

Mr Rock N Roll check out the live album Status Quo Live. Live from the Apollo Glasgow 1977. Best crowd atmosphere and best live album ever made period!

[@tonypriestley6341]

I think the Apollo version of 4500 times was even better than this one! Rockin and raw!

[@dickys7345]

This for me is the BEST Live album ever made. Headphone to the max and get lost in the atmosphere. Check it out Mr Rock N Roll, I promise you will never be the same again..

goosebumps all the way through, thanks so much for this video, your reactions are always great to witness.

I was at this show, about 30ft back infront of Parfitt, what a day, emotional, the end of something amazing 🤘

[@hexedriffsstudio]

extremely jealous of you man!!

[@jimharris367]

@hexedriffsstudio saw them four times on that tour, culminating with this last one of the End of the road tour - we thought we'd never see them again, and in a way we never did. Despite seeing them many times after the come back two years later, with the lineup changes and increasingly commercial sound, they never came close to this level again until the reunion tours in 2013 and 2014.

[@hexedriffsstudio]

@@jimharris367 Ah man, im SO jealous of you! I saw Quo in 2000/01/02. they were still fantastic then BUT i would of killed to of this line up, was my personal favourite! But i know what you mean, the late 80's and 90's sound was VERY meh.

[@ianthorp9547]

I was there with a dislocated shoulder in a sling and my girlfriend of the time got sunstroke - We drove from Manchester and back in an allegro which 3days previous had a wheel fall off - my mate just stuck it back on, said it'd be fine ( and it was) WHAT a day 😅😅

Quite a wonderful moment in Quo history. Love that bit right at the end where Pete Kircher puts his head down and the three guitarists are looking towards the drums waiting to hit the last notes of the song….. superb!

[@nicoladolby2154]

I remember this so well. Saw Quo twice on this tour, once at the Manchester Apollo UK & then this gig. I remember after this song they'd go straight into Big Fat Mama, then Don't Waste My Time & close the set with Roadhouse Blues. By the time it got to Big Fat Mama, everyone in the crowd was so knackered we could only stand & stare. BTW if you watch the whole gig online (highly recommended) it shows every song except one. Between Caroline & Roll Over Lay Down a the beginning they did Paper Plane, but for some reason it was never put on the video. 😀😀😀😀

You really want to find a cover-/tribute band who can do a performance of 4500 times? Then come to the Crossed Guitars Festival in Frieschepalen / NL next year on Friday, 30th May 2025. Status Quotes is the band ... and the performance is so close to the sound of the Frantic Four (Quo 1970-82) that you could think, Rick and Francis and Alan are on stage.... no joke, not kidding, no bullshit! Come over here to Europe end of May 2025 and you will have the opportunity to see this live on stage.

[@dennism5731]

Can’t believe it is 40 years since they performed this - truly the end of an era. Without Nuff on bass they just couldn’t rock as hard as they did before. The reunion gigs confirmed this and showcased the original sound with Spud shuffling away on the drums. I have had the pleasure of seeing pretty much everyone there is to see since the 70’s and Quo were by far the best live. If I were to score them at 100, the next best would be around 90, they were that good.

[@stevev111]

Last night 23/8/24 went to the last Status Quo gig ever! ( According to Mr Rossi ) What a fantastic night had by all! definitely a night to remember. Which incidentally is just over forty years since this concert, god i was only fifteen when i saw them at MK End of the Road tour 19984.
