Status Quo Live at the BBC is series of releases by English rock band Status Quo, issued by Universal Music on 24 October 2010. The release was available on a range of formats: 2-CD 'best of' collection, 4-CD box set and a limited edition collectors' 8-disc (7 CDs + 1 DVD) complete set, which quickly sold out.
Representing the last set of unreleased recordings in the Status Quo catalogue, the collection was collated not just from all of the BBC-owned Quo recordings that still exist in the archive, but also by inviting contributions from fans. The BBC had a habit of wiping tapes after they were broadcast, due to the expense of the tape, which has meant that some of the Corporation's output has been lost forever. However thanks to fans recording broadcasts at home a couple of shows have been discovered and reclaimed for this set.
