October 22, 2013, 11 years ago
STATUS QUO released a range of live material, dubbed Back2SQ.1 – The Frantic Four Reunion, recorded on the Frantic Four Tour this past March, on October 4th in Europe. EarMUSIC have confirmed a November 5th North American date for the title on 2CD, 2 LP, and Blu-Ray/CD.
Each format will document a different moment of the tour. The Blu-Ray release will feature the full show live from Wembley in London, along with a single CD of selected tracks from the show. The full tour (9 full concerts) will be available as an mp3 audio extra on the Blu-Ray edition. The double CD was recorded live from London's Apollo Hammersmith. In a nod to their classic 1976 release Live!, the band will also release a double LP vinyl version, recorded live in Glasgow.
The Frantic Four tour was a highlight in a career that has seen the band achieve more than anyone dreamed possible. Status Quo manager Simon Porter states, “This was a real moment in the chequered history of Status Quo, after almost 30 years of acrimony, and 10 years of law suits and court battles. Just two years ago, the thought of the Frantic Four performing again was unthinkable. Now, 50 years on from when Francis and Alan first performed together as schoolboys, it was fitting that everything came full circle for these shows.”
These live releases are a fantastic way to relive one of the most talked about moments in this band’s unparalleled career.
