Our Take

STATUS QUO's latest offering, "Down Down & Dignified At The Royal Albert Hall," is a delightful reminder that the aging rockers still have a few tricks up their sleeves. Recorded live at the iconic London venue, this album captures the band in rare form, managing to inject new life into their classic hits.

The set list is a mix of their greatest hits, reimagined in a more stripped-down and refined manner. Tracks like "Caroline" and "Rockin' All Over The World" are given a fresh coat of paint, with acoustic guitars and subtle harmonies adding a new dimension to the familiar tunes. It's as if the band has taken a step back in time and rediscovered the simple joys of making music.

Frontman Francis Rossi's gravelly voice still resonates with power and emotion, proving that age has only added character to his vocal delivery. The band's chemistry is undeniable, with each member effortlessly complementing the others to create a sound that is both tight and dynamic.

While some may argue that STATUS QUO's glory days are behind them, "Down Down & Dignified At The Royal Albert Hall" serves as a testament to their enduring talent and charm. It's a nostalgic trip down memory lane for longtime fans and a fresh introduction to a new generation of listeners. So grab a pint, turn up the volume, and let STATUS QUO take you on a journey through rock 'n' roll history.

About the artist

Status Quo

Status Quo: The Band That Won't Stop Rockin' Picture this: it's 1967, the Summer of Love is in full swing, and along comes a band that couldn't care less about flower power or psychedelic drugs. That's right, it's Status Quo, the denim-clad rockers who have been belting out riff-heavy anthems for over five decades. Formed in London in 1962, Status Quo initially found success in the UK with their psychedelic sound before undergoing a musical transformation in the early 70s. It was the release of their album "Piledriver" in 1972 that solidified their signature boogie rock sound, characterized by infectious guitar riffs and uncompromisingly catchy hooks. But what truly sets Status Quo apart from their classic rock counterparts is their unwavering commitment to their sound and style. While other bands may have experimented with different genres or trends over the years, Status Quo have remained steadfast in their dedication to delivering straight-up rock 'n' roll. Their live performances are the stuff of legends, with frontman Francis Rossi and guitarist Rick Parfitt (RIP) trading blistering solos and keeping audiences on their feet for hours on end. And let's not forget the trademark head bobbing and shuffling that has become synonymous with a Status Quo show. So whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, there's no denying the enduring appeal of Status Quo. With a career spanning six decades and over 100 million records sold worldwide, it's safe to say that these rock legends show no signs of slowing down. Keep on rockin', Status Quo.
