- In early 1984, Quo announced their farewell tour titled "The End Of The Road Tour". The last date of the tour would see the band perform to a crowd of 50,000 members of the Quo Army at the Milton Keynes Bowl. Quo played a 2 1/2 - 3 hour set which was filmed and recorded.
The gig was mixed and overdubbed whilst Quo were in the studio [Woldingham Surrey] on the 18th September 1984, whilst the footage was edited in October.
A VHS / Laserdisc of the gig was released in November '84 titled "End Of The Road, Farewell Concert". It achieved Gold Sales Status and was the best selling music video. A follow up titled "More From The Road" was released on VHS in 1985.

Your sentiments are Pure. And I’m with you, there. I’m a Scot - Laurie had it, ‘keep right on to the end of the road’,they did that from the early ‘60’s. I’m 68 years old now - saw them when I’d turned 16 - they were buzz in’. They were LIVE, always about performing Live. GOG BLESS the original QUO 3 chord? Don’t knock it, they were brilliant-and BRITISH -love ‘em. JaneR

my favourite era. not a phone in sight!!!!
the 80's I mean
I only watching it the other day and thinking this kind of event just wouldn't be remotely the same these days, instead of 50,000 people just rockin' out and enjoying themselves it would just be a see of phones and people standing hold them above their heads like the idiots they are!
Plenty of invisible guitars though !
@alanjones6359 🎸 they can be smuggled into any concert 😆
Beautiful times, no phones, just music.....
Looking back at this with a critical eye forty years on you cannot fault the professionalism of the whole Quo show. Rehearsed to perfection yet still sounding fresh and new. I saw Francis last week on his little two man show and he is still the ultimate pro in every way. What freaks me is that as I approach 70 this still drives through me like it always did and the memories just flood back to the many times I saw them in the early days. No-one comes even close and as someone else has remarked the absence of mobile phones thrust in the air means folk had the ability to watch and learn, dance and sing and just have a great time. What a show!
❤ Perfectly said xo
Cool,age is just numbers and good rock always works 👍🖖🔥
Today, almost 40 years after this concert and it seems like it was today, greetings from Montreal Canada from a member of the Quo Army!!!!!
Quo at their element: delivering rock and roll at its best
So sad that those times are over 😢
I love how Rossi is having conversations all the way through the gig
One of the best concert I ever seen ❤❤
X2 👍👍🤘🤘👏👏👏👏👏
Ever saw !!! 😅😂😅😂 Sorry 😅
Exactly 40years ago and I was there. Still got the T Shirt. Fantastically memorable day that was.
unfortunately we didn't meet that time, I was somewhere in the crowd too, from the Netherlands. what a GIG!
all 80s bands owe status quo big time.
Why the hell weren't they more popular in the U.S?Crazy.😮
I live in Milton Keynes, and I remember all the fans heading from the train station to the bowl. There was a real carnival atmosphere. I couldn't get a ticket, I was 14 at the time. It's great to watch back now ❤
this needs a billion views
The greatest boogie band ever. You wanna bop around? Listen to this!
Fantastic concert, what a fabulous set and came across so damned well here.
Thanks guys for all the super lyrics and great music and RIP Jess, Alan and Rick.
One of the more epic days of my life..
Me too !
me too
Same here, if we could only turn back time ...
Great day!
We need a tardis.@@EvaLudwig-yf7zm
The only line up worthy of my ears ........fantastic time ! Alan is a legend
what happened john Coughlan the original Drummer ?
Quo live in this era were nothing short of stupendous, the sound hit you in the chest and everyone was together in enjoying the energy. Forty years later and concerts of any band don’t even come close to this real rock concert. Did you notice the lack of mobile phones? It was about the experience then and I miss the visceral energy while relishing the fact that I got to see Quo live
I saw Status in Sweden when they did this tour in 1984. I whas 19 att that time. This is Status at its best. There is no band that is close to Status quality to day. I JUSTLOOOOVE IT!!💜💜💜
True true... I saw them in Newcastle Australia...Rockin all over the world tour...5 years before... I was 15 I think and obsessed!!!!! The ultimate Rock n Roll band. Then ACDC with Brian Johnson...just to compare, and without Bon on the Back In Black tour... they were great but without Bon....say no more. Status Quo fkn rocked back then!!!!!!
@@stephenmcdonald338 ACDC is also one of my favorites. I also saw them in 1984 in Stockholm on Monsters of rock together with Van Halen & Motley Crue. Now, 40 years later, I drive ACDC on a USB stick in the car to and from work. I never get tired of their music.
Have a great time.
What we must all understand is that Roll Over Lay Down is perfection and once we all know this THEN there can only be world peace
Gna, they always play that song too fast, even on the record it's too fast. It would be best if played really slow and groovy imho.
@@pfztQuo are a rock'n'roll band, they don't play slow sleepy songs. How can you imagine the middle bit and the last part of the song that followed, being played slowly??
I'm rather partial to Down Down myself...
I broke out of school (boarding school) for this! Epic day out for a posh teenager
These guys could do it all, from great pop like "Everytime That You Walk in the Room", psychedelic "Pictures of Matchstick Men", to stadium rockers such as "Rocking All Over the World" and straight up blues with "Spinning Wheel Blues" and "In My Chair", they could rock the house for hours and leave the crowd still wanting more. Saw them in France, Italy and England while in the Navy and Merchant Marine. Never left a show feeling disappointed.
The absolute best Conzert Status Quo in my ❤️🎸
Status Quo, Great band and totally underestimated. I got thrilled when I first heard them, playing Down, down back in 1976. From that moment on, I loved this band and still do being 62 years old now. Perfect Boogie Rock that no other band could keep up with. RIP Rick, best Rhythm guitarist ever and Alan, great Bass player.👍💪
Awesome concert!!! Francis is such a wonderful guitarman, Rick is just the best rhythm guitarrist of all time, Alan with a heavy punch on bass and Andrew killing in the piano....its very sad that good artists dont appear in present days...God Bless Quo!!
What about the drummer?
@@GeeCeeWU Yeah, he did a great job!
I grew up with Status Quo, and seeing guitar "dances" just gets to me. I love the band so much
I love this band since I was 5 yo and I still love there music today ❤ I was lucky to see them live
Just watched this again, never get tired of it. Seen Quo many many times, They were AWESOME!! Miss Rick though.
Thanks to my dad being a huge Quo fan, i was a kid in the late 80's and was obsessed watching this gig, hell even the vhs box had a special thing about it. I haven't watched this in years, i'm now a guitarist myself and was in laughter when Rick started backwater and mystery song at 100 mph for certain reasons😂 then Pete initiates drums and makes it very clear of the correct tempo straight away. I'm watching this from now from a new dimension which is great. That term being "locked in" as a band was set in stone right here.
I was about 30 rows back opposite Andy. Absolutely blinding gig with a good support line up for the rest of the afternoon. Marillion were excellent.
My brother first got me into status quo and I love there songs
Hey all from Holland..Born in 1976..how've There isn't a week going by, me as a baby girl till the old me now,that I listening to Status Quo..🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Ook hier van 76, ben ermee opgegroeid. En luister nog regelmatig
I was there and Quo were brilliant (AS ALWAYS). Took my younger brother to his first, he couldn't belive how good Quo were.
Easily the most underrated band there is.
and Lizzy!
Повторили мои мысли!
@@tmm8521 and Rory Gallager and many more. No, I think Quo get a lot, a lot of love. Sure they are not Queen but they didnt want to, they did play with honesty what they had, and they get all the love that deserves.
Great gig and was there at the tender age of 17 and still miss the legend that is Rick parfitt
MAGIC TOUR what a place to end as a Scottish Quo fan after lifting the Apollo balcony I had to come down I watch this concert when feeling blue lifts the spirits what a crowd. Quo know how to boogie such a shame new Quo fans will never experience this band live.Thanks for all the memories Quo.
Just think it was 36 years ago! Here, at Milton Keynes, it's perfect playing by Status Quo, many of their songs would be major hits today, it's timeless music, no group could mix swing, rock and blues in that mind-boggling way. To have one on the best if not the best rhythm guitar in the world (Rick Parfitt), great solo guitar (Francis Rossi) and great basis (Alan Lancaster), all three with great and specific voices and exclusive songwriting, it's fantastic. I think these expressions like air guitar and head-banging were found out during Status quo concerts (partly maybe too during AC/DC concerts). Never seen them live, unfortunately, but this concert from July 1984, compensates a lot for this. Never understood, how the American audience could never be interested in Status Quo. For me Status Quo Mark 1 will be a legend as Deep Purple Mark 1 and 2, Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore and others.
Never understand that either that Quo never had big hits in de USA.
Great melodic catchy rock and roll songs with country blues influences.
What else did you need in the USA?
But in the rest of the world everybody knows the songs of the Quo.
Quo did something very similar to what the direct competition in America did but (1) they weren’t theirs, hadn’t built the following from playing 2000 college and town gigs - to be a blue collar band you had to play the heartland in those days and (2) Quo were never a band to put on your festival set (that were prevalent in the States) because they had this habit of turning up blowing away your set through sheer hard work. Imagine being Aerosmith in 1977 and thinking that you had to go on after them and shortchange your fans.
American audiences wouldn't get this live. This is a natural Status Quo audience bonding. We don't do Woops & Welps. It just wouldn't work tho surprised radio playing & recordings were not workable. Imagine if the Beatles had flopped & just stayed in in Britain..
Spot on.
Fantastic, rest in peace Rick and Alan
I’m still have this vinyl record double from this concert ✊
Remember it like it was yesterday! It was one of the best days ever! Slept for 3 days afterwards!
Greatest rock n roll band..!
One of my favorite bands ever, I saw last time 2010 years,only Rick Parfitt and Rossi was been from old members,RIP Alan Lancaster and Rick Parfitt💔🙏

4 aprile 2024.....sempre grandiosi
A true rockstars! LEGENDS!
WHEN I WAS 10 YEARS OLD I HEARD STATUS QUO FOR THE FIRST TIME DUE TO THE INFLUENCE OF MY OLDER BROTHER AND I LOVED IT 45 YEARS LATER I STILL LOVE IT
In summer 1976 (at 15) I was on the pupil exchange in England. Me and my exchange partner went to a garage party one night and then it happend ... Down, down and Mystery Song were played over and over again on that old record player with those cheap amplifiers ... the strength and drive of that music just hit me and has influenced my life (I never went to a disco) and music taste very much indeed.
One of the best Band ever❤
Grear show. I saw this on DVD in the 1987 )) Thanx so much for post. Love Que since 1976. Best wishes from Russia.
sukkel...in 1987 op dvd....ja hoor!
That was Quo at their best, this was great.

Para.mi.gusto.el.mejor.concierto.de.status quo
LuveD Al's work ....
This is fantastic. My dad still has the original two video cassettes this concert was released on. So good have all the songs put together as a complete concert here 😌
Still can't believe this hasn't been released on DVD or Blu-ray yet though 🤷🏻♂️ ...maybe for the 40th anniversary in 2024???
It should be released with the full unedited concert, but I take it Francis Rossi won't want it as its seen as the past not the present or future Quo
@@martindalton5894 you're probably right unfortunately.
In 2024 it'll be the 40th anniversary of this concert and the perfect time to remaster and re-release but I think it's very wishful thinking 😒
Heres a story: for some reason Status Quo became incredibly popular among teenagers in a very poor suburb of Mexico City called Neza during the late 80's. They were huge, but me and most everyone there didnt have the money to buy the records (and the records where hard to find). But we all would get together by the dozens at empty storage lots where people with a loud PA would charge them a dollar to play recorded music to dance, mostly new wave bands and especially Status Quo. I was a young teenager when I saw this concert video and it blew my mind but the quality was really bad. I bought this concert video many times as soon as I found a better copy. Likewise, every time I found a tape with better sound I would go crazy. It was long before internet. We didnt even know who was Rossi or who was Lancaster, we would guess, lol. Eventually I saw them live in Frankfurt in 2013. I cried. And they played in Neza twice.
This is a heartwarming story, especially that you cried when you saw them playing in 2013. I saw them in September last year, hadn't been to any Quo concert for 40 years and when they started the gig playing Caroline (one of my fave songs) I also started crying.
As I understand it, the masters were lost in a warehouse fire
Wow...That was fantastic !!! ♫
I had been to many a Quo gig by the time Milton Keynes came around but it was truly manic down at the front of this epic gig. The start of Roll Over Lay Down gives a glimpse of how crazy it was. We all know now Rossi was high on coke but the entire audience was high on Quo. I have never and will never see a band as tight and on fire as 1hr 1 min in during 4500 Times. The camera editing is excellent and adds to the overdrive of the music. Nothing lasts forever of course but the real Quo died after that day and they may have put on some great concerts since then as a new band but nothing came close to how they were and that's a fact even Rossi can't refute.
manic crowd was right in the unedited version people were throwing bottles of piss at Francis
This is my favourite Quo concert x my big cousin was there 🎸🎸
47:46 the best bit :)
I was there! Epic day!
So Was I but didn't see you
@@61511com So was I but didn't see either of you! :-)
I remember like it was yesterday I was 5yrs old and I woke my mum and dad up the following morning being a Sunday and played it with them banging on the bedroom floor lol.... trying to have a lay in.
Tenho o maior orgulho de ter sido o gaitero durante essa turnê, gurizada véia macanuda esse QUO. Francis Rossi e o Alan Lancaster chegados num mate e num churrasco bagual.
Só podes crê gaúcho veio bagual do barro vermelho! Os caras fazem um rock basicão dos bons.
simplesmente um dos melhores show's de todos os tempos!
Concordo plenamente com você.
Status Quo é sinônimo de perfeição, sincronia, alegria, leveza e traz toda a energia contagiante do estilo de música mais linda que existe na face da terra: o R O C K !!!!!
O Quo é a banda mais querida de todos os tempos!
I was there!! :)
FANTASTIC DAY!
Even Gary Glitter had the crowd rockin'
He was ace! Where we were sat the coppers were joining in too.
De los mejores grupos ingleses,desde neza para el mundo, saludos a toda la banda. Waldito.
J'ai connu ce groupe en 76 avec leur tube down down et depuis j'ai tous les albums
Gran concierto y buenísimo el repertorio para la ocasión, R.I.P. Lancaster and Parfitt...
Hola, acabo de ver el video de estatus quo, es impresionante, sin duda uno de los mejores grupos de rok de la historia, que al cabo de tanto tiempo lo ves y te emocionas dice mucho del grupo estos guupos no morirán nunca
How awesome.
Drummer was fan-bloody-tastic! Peter Kircher?
I WANT THIS CONCERT ON DVD
