Status Quo Down Down And Diry At Wacken CD

There really is no need to introduce a band such as Status Quo. They have sold more than 118 million records, received countless gold awards and top 10 singles, played over 6000 shows together and spent 23 years away from home on tour to rock around the world. With all that success Status Quo have always remained a very down to earth and sympathetic band. Now after more than half a century of existence, they are still THE convincing live band they have always been known for.

The "Down Down" live series comes in two versions. Down Down & Dirty At Wacken is a wild & electrifying performance recorded in front of 70,000 wild Heavy Metal Fans at the world famous "Wacken Open Air 2017". The counterpart Down Down & Dignified At The Royal Albert Hall is an acoustic set, recorded in London's concert flagship, the "Royal Albert Hall" which
absolutely lives up to its name. Dignified!

"Wacken is like no other festival. The energy, the crowd, the volume. Where better for Quo to get down and dirty and crank out all of the Quo classics as loud as possible? Naturally, this was a full electric set, delivered at full throttle. Nothing else would be acceptable at Wacken! It's full-blooded performances like this that Quo's reputation is built on."

After the tragic death of founding member Rick Parfitt, the Quo got young Irish rocker Richie Malone as a replacement on the rhythm guitar. His young age and talent really carry on the legacy of late Mr. Parfitt. Hands down (down)!
