Live

Oh my God! I don’t believe what I see! I had totally forget it! It was lost in my records library, far from my eyes and my heart. Memory still remains… this live album with an electric band’s intro… The live album that someone must have in his library or take on a desert island. Hundred minutes of happiness. All my youth… Jesus ! I thought I felt so old. 25 years ago this incredible double live album had been recorded on the 27th and 29th October 1976 in Apollo Theater at Glasgow. Nothing similar with the actual metal but it makes me happy to feel the spirit of the end of the seventies again. The hard boogie spread his wings… the bridge between the 70’s and the 80’s. A really great period. In the original formation, John Coghlan, Francis Rossi, Richard Parfitt and Alan Lancaster do what they do the best: they play Status Quo. Lewis, baskets, long hair, beer, guitars, bass and drums. No overdubs, no sampling. Just a binary tempo, sweat, energy and an evident pleasure to play. Let’s party ! Some of you say: “Status Quo always plays the same!”. I don’t care! Move on! Every concert is sold out, people jump and dance during all the show, again, again and again ! Viva La Fiesta! They are here for the party not for an instrumental and technical demonstration! Let the tempo guide the beat of your heart. Don’t have any prejudice against the band. Forget your neighbors and play it LOUD! Don’t miss this extraordinary experience. Welcome on board to the time machine… No need to say more about it. “Hey honey, could you tell me where are my Lewis and baskets?”... I'll be back !
