Status Quo - Milton Keynes Bowl, End Of The Road Tour // 21st July 1984 (36th Anniversary)
Музыка
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

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!

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.

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
Just watched this again, never get tired of it. Seen Quo many many times, They were AWESOME!! Miss Rick though.
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.

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..

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 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.

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.
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???

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.
