Status Quo are to release a pair of lsquotwinrsquo live albums, lsquoDown Down amp Dignified At The Royal Albert Hallrsquo and lsquoDown Down amp Dirty At Wackenrsquo on 17 August. These releases capture the legendary band delivering two sets, each full of hits, energy and passion, while each offering a radically different tone and style of delivery.nbspFrancis Rossi said, ldquoTherersquos no other venue like the Royal Albert Hall, every artist wants to play there. So, to bring our Aquostic show there was a dream come true. The Quo classics were stripped back and delivered by the band in a new fresh way that really allows the melodies to shine. Fully acoustic and featuring some fantastic extra musicians and vocalists, this is a show wersquoll always be proud of.rdquonbspldquoWacken 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 Itrsquos fullblooded performances like this that Quorsquos reputation is built on.rdquonbsp nbsplsquoDown Down amp Dignified At The Royal Albert Hallrsquo and lsquoDown Down amp Dirty At Wackenrsquo demonstrate both the evergreen quality of the timeless Quo catalogue, the sheer musicianship and stagecraft required to deliver those hits, and the versatility of the band.nbsp nbspWho else but Quo could deliver the stunning sets captured on these twin releases of such wildly differing style and be equally happy taking to the stage at the venerable Royal Albert Hall and in the midst of the Wacken wildness Status Quo CD/DVD is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £15
