Each track is a testament to the band's enduring popularity and musical prowess. The next volume will be released in November and was recorded in London, so keep your eyes peeled.
The "Official Archive Series" will offer exceptional sound quality and great packaging throughout, featuring photography by Christie Goodwin. The series has been freshly mixed and mastered by Eike Freese and Laurin Halberstadt at Chameleon Studios Hamburg.
"Vol. 1 - Live In Amsterdam" was recorded in the Dutch capital on October 19, 2010 on the band's "Pictures Exposed" world tour. The setlist at the Heineken Hall was representative of the rest of the "Pictures Exposed" world tour with the lineup of Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Andrew Bown, John "Rhino" Edwards and Matt Letley delivering an avalanche of QUO classics, as befitted a tour celebrating "40 Years Of Hits."
The first release sets the bar high for what is due to follow, but each album in the "Official Archive Series" captures the raw energy and infectious enthusiasm of a STATUS QUO live performance; no matter where in the world. With their trademark sound, powerful guitar riffs, and irresistible hooks, the band delivers an unadulterated rock 'n' roll experience, and this collectible series is a great way to celebrate one of the greatest live acts ever.
