Status Quo LAST *EVER* LIVE SONG! "Burning Bridges" @ Taunton Vivary Park, 23/08/2024

[@FATBAZ01]

Really can,t believe this is it... History will never will be repeated or equalled. Truly one of our best rock and roll LIVE bands ever. Entertaining, happy, proper musicians and I really hope you have seen them live. Francis, Rick, Rhino, John, Andy, Alan, Richie and Jeff. I may have missed a couple but even if not named, they have been part of one of the best, if not THE best rock and roll bands to be hailing from Great Britain... I can play their stuff always but as a live band... ? Unbeatable, top notch and one of the best... EVER.... Luvsya guys...

[@kevansimister3967]

Done stop keep going this is the group that has kept me feeling young at heart for sixty years

[@joansmith8215]

Just a fantastic rock band. They’ve served us well. Thanks Francis.

[@johnclunas5769]

Will you please farewell the no.1 rock'n'roll band in the world... the magnificent STATUS QUO!!!! Thanks for so much over the years. 🎸🎸

[@kevinwilliams1602]

Agreed

[@kevinwilliams1602]

I'm saddened but it is inevitable. I've followed them since Matchstick men aged 15. Thank you Francis, a prayer for Ricky(who is rocking it up in the sky), and Alan. John you were one of the great drummers, and all that have followed in their collective footsteps. Life is a little sadder now

[@wrathchild68]

I had the pleasure of seeing the original frantic four. What a band and what a great night I had.

[@jacquelinegreen3775]

Love the Quo great memories of the 90s at the Nec jumping up and down shattered the next morning with my dear Mum who sadly passed away in 2009 best rock and roll band .

[@carolinequye9098]

Wow!! Status quo will always be part of my life, fab 👌 😊

[@iandrew6347]

Status Quo was my first ever rock band i ever saw love your music 🙏🏻

[@FATBAZ01]

AND I just cried... So gonna miss this band... Unbeatable...

[@paul70uk]

I sobbed like a baby when they played This. Very emotional night. ❤❤❤❤

[@pauljapheth7142]

Sounding that slick they should go straight into the studio and make a final album. I appreciate there’s no money in it but it would make a lot of us fans very happy one last time. 🎸

[@calummcgregor3662]

Yup .... despite the "nay sayers", the band were in fantastic form c. 18 months ago when they came through Aberdeen ... loads of energy, playing great, excellent set list ... (Rain was just stellar) ... Francis also had sense to let others take over singing duties for certain songs ... meaning loads of opportunities for some snappy guitar work ... I've seen them several times and the most recent was excellent .... also saw Francis late last year doing his interview / chat / play gig and it was great ... going again next May when he comes back to town .... CMcG, Aberdeen, Scotland

[@sheilaburrowes9081]

PLEASE MAKE ONE LAST ALBUM! I BEG THEM! I wasn't ready to say goodbye with Backbone.

[@YukaHotta0529]

Thank you, Status Quo! You are my number one forever. The tour is over, but I believe you will continue your music. So I won't say goodbye. I love you so much!

[@robertdownie879]

I have been a fan since 1969 . Brilliant band .

[@paulduffin494]

Wonderful to see that you've been a Fan for so long. Well done you. 1967 for me, so started with 'Matchstick Men' ..... still love that one

[@jennycampbell8539]

1980 for me

[@GeeCeeWU]

Me also.

[@sahhull]

I was born in 1969... I waited until 1978 for my first Quo gig.

[@jacquelinegreen3775]

Love the Quo my favourite band thanks for the nights at the NEC in Birmingham in the 90s .Hard to say Goodbye to a great band but I've had my photo taken with Rick and Francis to x

[@piledriverpotter9847]

Yes I saw them loads of times at the NEC in the late 80s and throughout the 90s as well. Great gigs throughout.

[@jacquelinegreen3775]

Yes a farewell cd .I'd buy it definitely.

[@sorbets1]

What a brilliant show!!

[@ACurtis-b4j]

Been rocking with the quo from 1980 will miss them playing live.

[@jamescoyle5913]

Brilliant Band . Hopefully they'll do a few one off gigs in the future

[@uwescherbaum9676]

I am went to QUO since 1978. I did the last time 26.July in Ludwigsburg/ Germany. I still get goose bumbs when I see / hear them....However, I can understand Francis decides to stop. I and lot of us had decades of fun, but as they stated ones...." beginning of the end.." ....

[@sahhull]

me too... First Quo gig was in 1978

[@progmeup]

I was in Ludwigsburg too and, well, I'm pretty sure this wasn't the last time they played live. 🤐

[@siegfriedneumann9199]

Please please quo never ends....i love them 50 years

[@martinzavadil984]

Was in Chemnitz and Leipzig. Somehow I am pissed off they never played Burning Bridges in Germany. But I'm very gratefull for every show I have seen.

[@andymullaney1594]

A went to see them Halifax piece hall posted some footage my channel, your vidio superb quality, the show was amazing, hope they do another tour,a recken a official farewell tour next year,why not ❤

[@swc43]

Glad you filmed it.x

[@jaspereliasfreund04.10]

Unbelievable i wish i had experienced more concerts

[@sahhull]

Ive been to Quo gigs since 1978... Averaging 6 gigs per tour I missed this year due to work commitments and ill health. Gutted is an understatement. I do have a few tickets for the tunes n chats gigs in 2025. I dont think its going to scratch the itch.

[@sheilaburrowes9081]

Same. I've had a disabling illness since 2012 so I missed the reunion tours, saying goodbye to Rick, and now the entire band. It honestly brings a tear to my eye if I think about it too much.

[@keggers101]

If that is indeed it then they really did go out at the top of their game

[@keggers101]

@Iainrankingtheobscure I would say that the fact that they're still selling out shows 40 years later would make that incorrect, the frantic four tour was successful for nostalgic purposes but they went straight back into their regular shows with great ease

[@sheilaburrowes9081]

@@keggers101 Let's be honest: there were mistakes ALL over the place on the FF reunion tours. People only gave it a passing grade because of the nostalgia factor but Francis was right that it was totally unsustainable.

[@MrJud62]

Was at Halifax, what a great show, were the alarm support act.

[@simonjamesdean2307]

Yeah, right, I went to their farewell concert in 1984.... Give it 6 months...

[@piledriverpotter9847]

I didn't go to the Milton Keynes farewell gig but I saw them at Trentham Gardens. My first Quo gig at 13 years old.

[@hgn2321]

Massive tour comin' up in 2026. They are not done yet 💪

[@siegfriedneumann9199]

Are you sooo shure ny friend❤❤????

[@FrozenHero2010]

Andy will be 80 years old in 2026, John 74 and Francis 76. Can't see Andy touring at 80, and Francis is more focused on his solo tours. Status Quo have not split up, but will continue to exist in name only.

[@hgn2321]

@@FrozenHero2010 you are right but Rhino says he'd be up for one more, Francis will keep himself fit (God willing his health), Andy could be replaced, like it or not. Paul Hirsch comes to mind, he did it once so why not and I'm sure Andy still gets a good paycheck. Francis is stubborn but he is also Quo and Quo is a huge part of his life so a change of mind after a few months off would not be a shock.

[@FrozenHero2010]

@@hgn2321 Rhino will rock til he drops! He's got some RR gigs this autumn to keep him busy. IMO Francis doesn't want to do a full blown Quo tour anymore. He's living the "easy" life touring solo - he gets to sit down for the whole show and there's less work involved. I'll be seeing him next April (Spring yes, Summer no and not Wednesday).

[@lanehogger1532]

⁠@@FrozenHero2010John will be 73 Francis will be 77😊

[@didiergenin3671]

I hope that after his next year 'Tune and chat tour' Francis will decide the Quo need to go out with a band and that thay will perform 'Quo's last ever' at Wembley stadium sometime in summer 2025. 65 years after Rossi and Parfitt deciding to be partners. Would be great !

I could be wrong here, but have I heard that Francis is prepared to do one LAST Tour??????

Should have been a proper Bye Bye Johnny..
