One of the truly great live albums, by a fantastic live group at its peak. It's most unfortunate that most of North America never really tuned in to Status Quo, to see why they are SO BIG in Britain, Europe and the rest of the world. Released in early 1977, it mostly features tracks from their two best albums, "Hello" and "Quo" from 1973 and 1974 respectively, although they do dip back to earlier albums like "Piledriver", and even 1970's "Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon". Highlights? The entire 2-disc set is one complete highlight! Much harder rocking than on the original albums, especially from Roll Over Lay Down through Backwater to Just Take Me on to 4500 Times! The finale of Roadhouse Blues followed by the encores of Caroline and Bye Bye Johnny are stunning.For those only familiar with the late 60's psychedelic sound of Pictures of Matchstick Men, be prepared to have your socks rocked off!! Play it LOUD!!

I've been into hard rock and bluesy rock for 38 yrs. I'm 53 now and have survived over 200 live concerts. This live concert is the kinda music that people like me live for. Beg, borrow or steal for the money to buy this double CD, you will be glad you did. This is hard rock at it's best. You will have to buy a new stereo to listen to it. Live shows like this are not found too often on CD.

This album rocks! One of the best live albums I've ever heard! I'd been wanting to get this for so long, and one day I decided on getting it. It has a great song selection, practically all the best ones. 1976 was the perfect year for recording a live album because Quo were at the peak of their success, and they still had the original lineup of Francis, Rick, Alan, and John.

The sound quality is great. It's just like being there when you turn your stereo up maximum. The audience is crazy. The band said that their wildest fans were in Glasgow, so the Glasgow Apollo couldn't have been a better place to record this.

I find it unusual that they played "Caroline" for the encore instead of for the opening song, but it was really cool that way; it added a new twist to their typical live show. They do end with Bye Bye Johnny though. All songs are played perfectly and it's super raw and super heavy.

'Not much more to say other than, if you like live rock and you're a Quo fan. this album is an absolute must for you're collection.

Very hard to believe that a band that could make this kind of hard hitting adrenalin producing melodic rock and blues could turn into a soft cabaret pop band and disown nearly everything they were truly great at! Quo Live is a masterpiece. Certainly, it has to be one of the finest live albums ever recorded in music history, it is that good. The original Quo could not be touched. For nigh on 11 years, from Ma Kelleys to Never Too late they constantly produced magnificently constructed boogie rock and blues (bar the odd duff album, Heat and Rockin') and then it tapered off. Granted, even today they are a great band live and hats off to them for keeping it all going, but back in the 70's it was the real Status Quo. The Quo that made them legends, the Quo that produced hit after hit, the Quo that had the most fanatical following of any band and the Quo that could produce sell out tours before a ticket even went on official sale!

Quo Live makes you realise how truly sensational and tight this band were. Ask anyone about Quo today and you get snide remarks about silly pop numbers, selling out, fools, past their use by date etc.. If those same people heard this album you would have to pick them up off the floor. Hard to believe we are talking about the same band.

Quo Live = hard rock and blues at its very finest. You won't hear better.

the only complaint have with this one is that they didn't expand it! The band was such a monster machine live with superradical crowds jumping up and down that if you saw them today you'd never know how these shows were!, they are still great though but at this time few bands had shows as rowdy. This is hard rockin done with ability and perfection. they were still at their 1970-82 peak here and boy they could rip it.
