"Beginning of the End" is a single released by the British rock band Status Quo in 2007.
Much heavier than most of its recent predecessors (thereby signalling a move back towards a harder rock sound), it has gained distinction as being one of the few "newer" songs to survive in the live set and has continued to stay there up until the current Out Out Quoing tour.
As "Beginning of the End" opens the album, the introduction by a woman saying "Now, let's listen to the music and try to identify the chord" makes sense since after the last regular song "Tongue Tied" the same voice is heard to say "Did you manage to find it?"
The official video for the single was shot aboard the London Eye[3] and was directed by John Keeling.
A live version of the song was included on the deluxe edition of the 2011 studio album Quid Pro Quo.
