Quo live is seminal. A great live album. Can listen to it often.
The NEC is different. First released material was released in the From the makers of box set. Then it turned up as a single cd. Then split badly over a number of cds in the BBC live boxset.
A difficult birth it has been. Finally released all these years later as a double album.
But how would you rate it ? The crowd without Davy is quieter but that may be the mix.
How does it stand up as their second live album, recorded before the rot set in.

Still waiting for my copy to arrive - hopefully it'll be ok when it finally gets here!

I don't feel the need to get it, I taped it off the radio at the time and listened to it countless times. It's a DVD I'd really like (to add to the collection of other Quo DVD's I haven't had time to watch yet - god...still not watched Dublin yet)
I've read the discs have errors on them? Is that fixed now?
Guess I'll probably get it sometime. For a double CD, it's the EOTR I want.

I’ve always liked this album. Very much Quo of their time. I can also remember purchasing the original live video from WHSmith for £19.99, a lot of money back in 1982. (Equivalent to about £90 today) I’ve still got it & it’s hardly ever been played. Nice memento.

I never thought there was any rot to be honest, the songs played live from the albums recorded from 1970 through to NTL show no sign of rot or decay. No band or writers can keep up that standard especially if the writing teams become fragmented. John Edwards and Ritchie Malone have written songs that can only be recorded in the style that encompasses the Status Quo musical range and what a range it is. The 'range' is something like the start of All The Reasons through to the play out on Down Down, there's a lot in between.

Yeah, it was silver. It was the first video they'd ever released officially so was the first Quo video most of us will have owned. It was quite a big deal for a Quo fan that far back. Can't remember where I bought it but sis worked in both WH Smith and John Menzies on Princes Street so it was probably one of those.

And then I added the album sleeve ones we got on the "End of the Road tour". I had sheets of those. Still got a couple in the programme. The nonsense we used to collect!

All the footage for the 14th exists, just trying to find out if anything still does from the 13th

Yes that’s the one. It was later re released on Channel 5 label which probably will of sold a lot more copies than the original. The silver original is well sort after & quite valuable.
