Hey they only do 3 chords😂😂😂

[@paulmeekcoms217]

Farewell Rick and Lancs. The world is poorer for your passing, but richer because of your legacy.

[@willhughes2904]

I've watched this a thousand times. I've cried and laughed a thousand times too. Not because of what we have lost or missed, but because we can relive it over and over again. Rick and Alan live on in our hearts. Forever Quo.

[@andrewcremona3811]

4500 Times, the holy grail of Quo tracks......

[@VintageLifeCars]

With that teaser riff at the end

[@AndyMartin401]

Best rhythm guitarist this country has EVER produced.

[@pfzt]

Yes but only if we don't count commonwealth, because then i'd pick Malcolm ;)

[@josephbuckley5961]

​@@pfztsome guy at 1:35 says show us your tits LMAO

[@josephbuckley5961]

​@@pfztI agree Malcolm young was God but rick was a very close second

[@photodom2000]

My God, Alan could make that bass guitar sing. I don't think anyone appreciates just how complicated some of the bass lines were/are in Quo music. Plus just how tight were they as a group? I don't think anyone realises the hours of rehearsal that go into making live shows like this. Rock on Quo.

[@leo1314ok]

Class, just pure class! I was in the middle of that somewhere. Will never be embarrassed for admitting I cried at the end of it

[@tommyadams1536]

Me too mate. Eyes filling up even now watching it.

[@iangillon6981]

Same dude

[@alessandroambrogio7745]

I wish i was there im now 14 i love them so hard

[@VěraStuchlová]

Nádhera a ještě jednou nádhera

[@Cl4rendon]

I saw them perform this on stage in Germany way back in 78 when i was a kid - Until this day i`m in awe to this song - The highlight of their setlist.

[@duurnamets9678]

Long long time ago I heard this song of the Hello album absolute one of the best Quo songs. In my opinion 👍

[@martinkooistra7867]

This one song (and this performance) defines the greatness of Quo and of Rock 'N Roll. Wonderfully edited, terrific sound quality. And boy, did those amps go up to eleven, or what!

[@jonathanlegg4308]

A song from the gods, brilliant in every way.

[@bulletdozerx9954]

Gigs were so much better when nobody had a phone

[@DarrenGroves]

My dad saw Status Quo play at the Roundhouse in Dagenham before I was born. Thankfully he passed on his great taste in music to me. They don't make them like this anymore

[@paulblanking7452]

Great place to go back in the day,all the top bands played there,so fortunate to have been around back then

[@marthadewyn1458]

Class, class, class, what a performance, what a talent the guys have. Love it

[@SQ773]

Thank you for posting the best memories of my life 🎸🎸 1973 at age 13 i became a Quofan,now i'm 63 coming July,and this was and still is my life. From a teenage schoolboy to an old man,saw Quo Live over 300 times and this 4500 times was bl**dy amazing 💪 I remember that i saw it back in 1984 at age 24 and it was my first ever Quo Live gig on VHS tape. I was so sad that (that year) Francis said "We will stop playing live" and i cryed... Quo was 24/7 my life from 1973. Thank you again for posting this in a very high quality! Fantastic memories...

[@quo4ever1]

Pete was a hell of a livedrummer for Quo in that period...miss that!

[@leo1314ok]

Still in awe at Pete's performance. That track alone would shatter lesser drummers. He held it together beautifully

[@DieUnendlichkeit1]

100% korrekt 👍

[@koekelmetperen]

No he wasn’t to be honest Sometimes you can see that level of playing is too high for him…

[@charliepreston1]

Blows anything by Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Queen totally out of the water.

[@shanekelley7682]

100000% agree!

[@aintcomplaininband2598]

Needs to be a vinyl and DVD release of this concert......

[@VintageLifeCars]

I think it was released on VHS

[@mattking1879]

Sounds awesome. I remember this gig like it was yesterday, not 40 years ago. One of my all time favourite gigs.

[@CraigFrance-o4i]

the most incredible performance of a song ive ever heard....awesome

[@mattking241]

Still gives me goosebumps. I was in the middle somewhere. Incredible night.

[@leo1314ok]

Ditto!

[@kennymcareemusic5016]

Stunning performance. The best Quo line up for me. Pete was solid. Top notch band. 🙌

[@jonybeam21]

Still one of the very best gigs i've ever been to,They were simply OUTSTANDING

[@12barmac]

I will never tire of watching this.... brilliant.... love it... oh and I was there......😁

[@markvonr5498]

Hello album is their best album EVER, absolutely no bad tracks the entire disc.👍👍👍

[@tedt1067]

Still one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to!👍

[@brunocolin9495]

Magnifique morceau de boogie rock !! Cette chanson est vraiment la cerise sur le cake . Sublime , quel plaisir de les voir jouer avec une telle complicité. J ai eu la chance de les voir en 1978 à BREST, j avais 16 ans , c était mon premier concert et peut être le plus beau !

[@SuartanaRendra]

Status quo the best !! , rossi 👍 Rip Rick , Alan 😇 Iam from Bali - Indonesia

[@tommyadams1536]

Outstanding. I was there. Great day but also very sad because we all genuinely thought that really was the end. Thanks for posting.

[@neilgallagher6422]

Thank you Thank You Thank You…….. x4,500 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@paullevrier]

Oh boy. Great improvement in quality. Well done. I could have sworn I was only there yesterday!! Time has stood still. Would love to see this in its full entirety (without the edit) but I am grateful we have what we have. All of this is outstanding but from the 9:13 mark the playing takes on an intensity never since matched. Its just nuts. Gets me every time. Kudos to Pete here for playing for his life. Its a pity he didn't continue as he really found his place in the band on the EOTR tour. Probably the best rendition of 4500 Times ever.

[@DarrenPhillips001]

I love that song.

[@ErickGervais-ud9kp]

I love you all so much! Thanks a lot for everything!

[@PhilipLawson-w1f]

The greatest live rock 'n' roll band of all time? This is exhibit A. Video is beautifully shot and edited too given the amount of movement on stage. I saw them in one of the smaller venues on that tour - I have never left a concert feeling so dehydrated after bouncing around in the crowd for over 2 hours! Great memories.

[@ivanpedley8256]

Thank you for making my fav Quo song even better!!

[@olemortensen433]

one of the best Song from them,top live

[@paulkenney700]

4:08 - the fact they had to play this riff at exactly same timing is incredible

[@jan-olovolalarsson4618]

Rick could sing 🤘😤

[@frankraw9991]

First time hearing this, just now. Reminds me of the Eagles on stage doing Dirty Laundry. Thanks.

[@izaklitwar1509]

Pure eargasm!!

[@joekauffman9690]

I’m hoping this gig will be on vinyl and CD in future, brilliant song!!

[@wolfganghaarer6954]

I´m quite surprised how tight and good they were, although Francis revealed in his book, that he was completely out of his tree during the show!

[@michaelohagan6546]

Also hated this gig i think as well

[@hubertgunpowder]

Fantastic !! ♫

[@jefdeckx4084]

Rick, back to the stack.

[@frankbowman5168]

Greatest band ever, if you want to see how good they really were look for 'Status Quo - Forty Five Hundred Times, Milton Keynes Bowl | 21st July 1984.' I don't really like the song but it is what it leads into around the 4 minute mark, Quo at their very best.

[@stevemann3080]

G.O.O.S.E.B.U.M.P.S 🎧🎸🔊 🤘🤘🤘

[@lukasmarzell5598]

Its losing out the different parts of this great masterpiece, they had hudge fun to perform it, the bb tuning on ricks guitar is greatly effectful.... giving the whole an constant rythm, alan and rossi soloing in the beginning of the first part, than in the endsection, its their way to say" here we are" Pumping bass, excel keyboards and solid drums. How to discripe an quo classic? Rock solid, nonse head down boogie rock.

[@deejaydegeus4804]

10:30 that riff, wow!

[@jeanfrancoispedotti2566]

Majestueux

[@fulminatorix]

No entiendo como no han sacado este concierto, remasterizado y en dvd o blue ray hace tiempo.Yo tengo la versión en vhs y es una pena la pobre calidad que tiene.¡Edítenlo y venderán un montón de copias! Por cierto, sublime esta canción...

[@geraldleistra6320]

machtig mooi

[@PretzelLogic]

6 years later Status Quo will be looking at Jive Bunny and muscling in on their action with Anniversary Waltz. Oh hum

[@matrix2709]

The last stand of Status Quo. After 1984 it became a popband...and live it became a disgrace when disco kid Rhino joined the band.

[@peterrobinson8530]

Christ what a live band in their time

[@4192362]

Agreed Rhino is an embarrassment. Never saw the FF, I’m a newer fan, but its so obvious how out of place he was in 1986.

[@karmannghiaman1041]

I went to the Southampton Gaumont gig, which was also the End of the Road but im sure was two years earlier?

[@markmurfin7984]

I went to this gig it was a depressing end to a very good band Alan was right on the money the other two looked bored and tired. Wish I hadn't gone. They should take it off KZbin, it's nothing like they were two years before

[@alanjones6359]

Bored and tired ? You joking !!

[@peteannells4218]

It's worth looking at the description box above. I had both of the VHS vids and they were great. There is a combined version on YT. But I hadn't realised that they overdubbed in the studio (like most live albums of the time...) and not all of the nearly 3 hours worth of gig is/was available. Great band and great live but it didn't sound like this (nor at Oxford where I saw them on that tour.)

[@stevepoole7739]

End of the road my arse. Great, great day.

[@spritbong5285]

30 years lost thanks to cocaine. Thankfully FF reunions 2013 and 14 brought the Pheonix out of the ashes. Pete was the Mad Turk on steroids.

[@wiesawkrzystanek5494]

👍💖

[@Lloyd1885]

Was the ending cut slightly.... I thought that long note at the end was longer

[@keithchadwick]

I recall it being a bit longer, too.

[@robertostewart1793]

[@michaelrosendahl5770]

This could be my favorite song. Or perhaps Stargazer hm... I mean Run to the hills, Wheels of steel. No sorry, I ment Easy living, Guts... Fast as a shark. I'm logging out now.

[@michaelrosendahl5770]

But still... One helluva song(s)

[@kevinmcgeown9727]

pete kircher was a beast on the drums was he another victim of rossi's ego?

[@MarkkuKoljonenwTinja]

:DDD😎

[@adrianr9307]

The NEC 1982 version shits all over this one.

[@bulletdozerx9954]

Alan Lancaster was the one true heart of Quo. He left when they sold their soul to the world of pop music. Yes ‘Rocking all over the world’ and ‘In the army now’ were lovely, but no more Caroline or 45 hundred times. Rossi & Parfitt sold their soul to the devil.

[@alhall7941]

I was there and really enjoying this track. The down side too much keyboards. Would rather listen too the Quo live version. Pure guitar trashing.

[@CraigFrance-o4i]

pity rossi turned them into a shadow of the band they were in the 70s

[@bulletdozerx9954]

Second verse not so good…. Alan said you’d sold your soul to the devil and you did. After Blue for You you went from rock band to pop band. Never mind you were always entertaining. RIP Rick.
