Status Quo - 4500 Times

[@Rockingsue]

I often say: "If I ever fall into a coma and the Sound of Status Quo doesn't bring me back to Life, you can Turn off the Machines!" Love Quo!

Ladies and gentlemen a proper Rock ‘n’ roll band.

Saw The Quo 50+ times over the last 35 years. Rick always gave 100%. God Bless You Sir! Rock In Peace.

[@davidroberts6664]

I was there 18 yrs old loved every minute. 57 now and still loving it . Rock and roll and blues at it's best

[@dennism5731]

Proof yet again that in their day they were by far the best live band to ever grace a stage - awesome playing.

[@markt1856]

I COULD LISTEN TO THIS 45 MILLION TIMES

[@mickman36]

What a Phenomenal Drummer 👏. To play at that tempo plus those fills

[@streatleyred]

One of the great Quo songs and brilliant vocals from Rick. Brilliant version. A cloud of nostalgia has come over and I feel like crying from the memories

Listened to this a million times,(never mind 45)all different versions,especially '73 album,seen them 18 times how can you not like it,go listen to QUO LIVE 1976,then discover who they were!

[@hakanzackrisson6908]

Live in Lyon ’76 it’s excellent

[@carvercapitalequitypartner122]

It IS the show you never forgot. Freaking awesome. Nothing like it nowadays, and the kids don't have a clue what they missed.

Tanked up on umpteen bottles of olde English cider enjoying a classic English band and not realising just how much I should soak it all up to the memory bank for a rainy day. God bless ya Quo👍

[@neilangus4401]

Isn't it fantastic that you can watch Rick in action over and over In fact the whole band Rick is always with us due to technology

[@craggers]

Thanks for all the comments about the video, nice to see people appreciate this awesome song as much as myself. Favourite bit though Francis' solo @ 13:40, only him on the guitar and he is kicking arse! and without even looking half the time. Truely an underrated player if ever there was!

[@romseyhants]

I was 17 when i went to this tour. 2 nights at southampton gaumont. my dad picked me up after the gig and said that didnt sound to bad when he was standing outside waiting for the show to end. i took him to see quo in '97 at bornemouth. he was 67 years old and he loved it.

[@wingchun-simplekungfu7584]

Beautiful memory. Thanks for sharing. 🙏. Your dad rocks. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@philg5632]

God I miss this version of Quo, with Rick and Alan. Went to the Deeside Leisure Centre gig of this "End of the Road Tour". Alan clonked Francis on the nose with the end of his swinging guitar and got a real scowl off Francis! Where the hell has the intervening 39 years gone.... Love this song. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrDudeguitar0]

7:16-8:20 and 8:40-10:25 I knew Francis was a good guitarist and all, but OMG I never knew he could play like THAT! He is so underrated as a guitarist and I think he is a worthy guitar god. I mean 7:29-7:50, those pinch harmonics are amazing!

The best live version of 4500 Times. Classic Quo !!!!

[@paullevrier]

when they get going at the 8.30 min mark they REALLY get going. I would be hard pressed to see and hear any other band perform at this level of intensity. Rossi and all of the band are absolutely on fire at this point. It is exhilarating to watch. What an incredible band they were. And how sad it ended here at Milton Keynes in 1984. They never, ever came close to the magic defined here. Even without John Coghlan they were an incredible band live. After 1984, well we all know where Rossi took the band. Such a shame it had to be this way. Their entire legacy is built on gigs such as this and music such as this not the Margie Time music Mr. Rossi so loved and pushed through under the Quo name. I saw them 40+ times up to this point. Never saw them again until the reunion gigs of 13 and 14 - now that was worth waiting for.

[@paulone-off7286]

I felt sure this was Milton Keynes bowl, I was there and it was epic. Always loved 4500 times, this is Quo at their best. I only saw them 8 times, wish I had done more but hey what can you do. Still got all the vinyl I bought back then. I also had a VHS from the Milton Keynes gig for years, not had anything to play it on for so long it went to a charity shop, bloody wish I kept that now.

[@shanekelley7682]

This 1 song smashes many that people consider in the top 100 of all time, this performance alone is worthy of being up there, Quo fan or not! Just a high quality performance I've watched since I had the video aged 10 in 1985!

[@leewilain]

Saw them when I served in the Army in my hometown Örebro Sweden march 1978, one of the ultimate rocknroll experiences of my entire life. What a band, they really raised the roof on Örebro Sport Hall. They ended the concert with this amazing 45000 times song there as well. My tinnitus will never let me forget that evening when I had the luck to see the Frantic Four that amazing band Staus Quo. Praise the Lord that I had the opportunity to live in the same time as those guys.

[@peterplant2531]

For most of the ,70's nobody came close to these fellas live, and I saw most of em. Rick's hands of steel made the difference for me

[@coopertee44]

I was at this gig.. MK Bowl.. The original farewell last gig... Still up there with one of the greatest gigs I’ve ever been to..

[@stevewiles7132]

The band may pass away, but the music never will.

[@FunkingHostile]

I was at this concert and this version of 4500 Times is one of my all time favourites.

[@shaunatkinson5489]

What a song. One of the best album tracks ever. I still love the Quo and have most of their CDs and DVDs. Absolute legends.

[@Keepingitrespectfulmostly.]

Very emotional watching that, for a life long Quo fan. Best line up and only two of the regular members left now. How on earth did they not make it big in America? Response to article only.

[@ronaran8420]

Absolutely! Our priviledge to be on this side of the pool.

[@gremlinuk1968]

So true pal,,! Don't know why they never got to America,? , grew up likening the quo back when I was a kid in the 70s, born May 23rd 1968 from northern Ireland UK, 🇬🇧 , I can even say my late gran liked them,! RIP Gran 1989,!

[@cliftonpoynter5605]

Thick Americans, simple

[@wingchun-simplekungfu7584]

Probably not pretentious enough for the US. They played as back up for ZZ Top a few times. I believe they showed them up . Possibly didn’t do them any favours. Doesn’t make sense.

[@jamesw4895]

Alan Lancaster told me years ago that they supported Savoy Brown in the states and the Americans wanted them to have more of an image. Eg permed hair and satin flares. Quo were too working class for the yanks. The yanks wouldn't have got rossis cockney slang. They were too gritty.

[@freshprincebelair3122]

the best live song ever ! Quo lives forever!!

[@theawakening303]

I saw them on this tour in 84 just fantastic what a band👍👍👍
