Our Take

STATUS QUO's latest live album, "Transmission Impossible," is a rollicking journey through the band's extensive catalog of hits. From the moment the first chord is struck, you can feel the energy and nostalgia that STATUS QUO exude with every note.

The album captures the essence of a live STATUS QUO show perfectly, with lead singer Francis Rossi's gravelly vocals taking center stage and the band's signature boogie rock sound filling the room. Tracks like "Down Down" and "Caroline" are as infectious as ever, drawing you in and making you want to dance along.

But what sets "Transmission Impossible" apart from other live albums is the band's undeniable chemistry and stage presence. Rossi and co-founder Rick Parfitt's on-stage banter and camaraderie add an extra layer of charm to the already stellar performances.

However, the album does have its flaws. Some tracks feel a bit repetitive, and the production quality could have been better in places. But these minor quibbles are easily overlooked when you're caught up in the infectious energy of STATUS QUO's live show.

Overall, "Transmission Impossible" is a must-listen for any STATUS QUO fan or anyone looking for a fun, energetic rock experience. So grab your air guitar, turn up the volume, and get ready to rock out with STATUS QUO.

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.
