Alright, I'm probably forty years too late to the party but I've finally bought a Status Quo album!

There are actually two releases out - One is an acoustic set from the Royal Albert Hall and the other is a full electric set from the Wacken Festival... No prizes for guessing which I chose

With a set picked to please a crowd of boozed up metalheads there are no Burning Bridges or Marguerita Time on view here. Opening with Caroline is always a good idea and the whole concert is very muscular for a band considered past their prime

In the Army now is a great singalong for a open air festival (even daring to change the lyrics from damn to shit...) and the instrumental part of Roll Over Lay Down is particularly heavy.

Add in Rocking All Over the World, Paper Plane and Down, Down and I'm not sure you really need to awn another Quo album
