Status Quo Announce The Last Ever Electric Tour Dates:
Status Quo today announce that their 2016 live shows will represent their last ever full on Electric tour. Following a final high profile European tour, which will start in October and include UK dates in December 2016, no further electric tours will be booked for this legendary band.
Francis Rossi said, “We’ve talked about it for some time and have decided that it’s time for us to hang up the electrics. It’s getting harder and harder for us to play those shows. It’s 30 years since we last said we were stopping but this is a final decision. It doesn’t mean we won’t do other things, perhaps the odd special, but we’re agreed that the moment has come. There’s more to come from us in the years ahead, but we won’t tour the electric set ever again”.
Rick Parfitt added, “We always thought we’d see a red light when it was time to stop. The show hurts now, physically. It’s hard to maintain that level of energy and without that it’s not really a Quo show. So we don’t feel we should continue. This is definitely the end of our lives on the road with the electric set, life won’t be the same for us – or many of the fans – but we can’t go on at this pace any more”.
“The Last Night Of The Electrics” Tour will go on sale in February 2016. Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Andy Bown, John ‘Rhino’ Edwards and Leon Cave will plug back in and bring their thunderous electric live show back to the nation’s venues for the last time. Packed with hits, both new and old, taken from that unbelievable back catalogue. If you love Status Quo, you need to be there; if you’ve never before seen this truly legendary act play a full full-throttle no-nonsense electric set, you need to be there!
These tour dates will truly be the end of an era as Status Quo turn their back on constantly touring their fabled electric live set. Since first charting in 1967 the band have become a truly iconic and massively influential rock act. The world of music will not be the same once the dust has settled from “The Last Night Of The Electrics” Tour.

I saw them twice on that supposed “farewell tour” back in 1984 including the final gig at Milton Keynes Bowl (excellent set btw) and have often wondered since whether I could sue Quo under the trades description act for going back on the road again a year after quitting!!
I won’t be going to see them this time. I’m afraid that over the past 30 years Quo have degenerated into an embarrassing end-of-the-pier act. That is why this box set (which I got yesterday-great throughout) is so important at reminding one of how good they used to be.
Why is it that Status Quo fans seem to live in the past, and every time the current line up do something the same old cliques are rolled out?
If Quo had stopped touring in 1984, I would never have seen them live nearly 50 times.
Good question Johnny. The thing I personally find puzzling is that they don’t just slow down their live shows like they used to talk about but hang it up right away…
Amazon UK have had this box set at this price since mid-December 2015.
I bought mine just before Christmas!!
I recently bought this from Amazon on the 14/1/16 and can confirm that all the records were correct.
Hi Paul, fantastic bargin. I just placed my order and the cost came to $142 Aussie. I had to roll over and lay down.
Many thanks.
Or go to any decent second hand record store and buy the originals for next to nothing – always loads of 70’s quo about
Buying second hand records is always an option. Probably struggle to get all these for £7 each I would have thought…
Try and find decent second hand copies of Hello and Quo….
Thanks for the alert. I placed an order, but I hope they have addressed the issue of having a wrong record (Hello in the jacket for Whatever You Want) included.
Great! I’ve been waiting for a price drop on this. Ordered. Excellent stuff. Thanx Paul.
Ordered. Thanks!
