‘Vol. 2 – Live In London’ was a hometown show recorded on 19 December 2012 on the band’s ‘Quo Festive’ tour, getting people into the pre-Christmas mood. The setlist at the O2 Arena saw Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Andrew Bown, John ‘Rhino’ Edwards and Matt Letley [in his last UK show as Quo drummer] deliver an avalanche of classics, and even features a Christmas Medley, including ‘Walking In A Winter Wonderland’, ‘Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree’ and Quo’s own ‘It’s Christmas Time’.
From today, Status Quo is providing a first musical preview with the digital release of the powerful live performance of ‘Rockin’ All Over The World’.
‘Vol. 2 – Live In London’ is a further release of the Status Quo ‘Official Archive Series’ presenting 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 of all time.
