Swaying back and forth in unison to the riffs bouncing off their guitars, you know what to expect with Status Quo. Even if they have become a bit overused in the past 40 years, cliches have a golden core. For many bands, repeatedly playing their successful songs becomes a kind of purgatory ending in a refusal to even listen to their hit singles any more, let alone play them. But this five-piece never seem to tire of their best tracks, and their infectiously energetic live performance got their loyal middle-aged fans shaking the body parts they forgot they had.

Despite releasing The Search for the Fourth Chord last year, it was still the show stoppers like the psychedelic Pictures of Matchstick Men, In the Army Now and the inevitable show climax of Rocking all Over The World which drew the biggest cheers.

Musically still as tight as you like, Rick Parfitt, Francis Rossi and John Edwards strutted around the stage with all the arrogance you would expect from a band who have sold more than 118 million records and spent the equivalent of seven and a half years in the British charts.

But if the main band were slightly cheesy, the entrée au fromage was supplied by Luke White. Status Quo is probably the only band this young singer/songwriter from London can support with his outdated atmospheric/soft rock melodies. Clearly he is at the other end of the experience spectrum and he only drew polite, tepid applause from the audience throughout his set.

With his over-the-top lyrics, shaggy mop of hair and white sneakers it was tempting to draw comparisons with Spinal Tap getting ready for a rendition of Lick My Love Pump.

But when he did finally turn the volume to 11 on his amp, a much dirtier, stronger sound was obvious in tracks like Perfect Place For A Meltdown and Maybe She Is Magic. These tracks had some good instrumental sections and the quicker pace and varied bassline suited him, and the backing band, more. Unfortunately most of the songs did not seem fully integrated, as if the lyrics and lead guitar sections had been written and shaped over time but the support sections were thrown together in a hurry. His voice is still raw and struggled to carry a song yet he clearly has talent as a technician.

Status Quo - Rockers Rollin': Quo in Time

Rockers Rollin' is a four-CD box set celebrating those much-maligned masters of British boogie-rock, Status Quo.

Release Date: Jan 1, 2002

Recording Date: 1972-2000

Label: Universal (Polygram International)

Sensibly eschewing Status Quo's already over-anthologized early years, Rockers Rollin' opens with the band's arrival at the Vertigo label (A&M in America) in 1972, and carries on from there. Kicking off with "Paper Plane," the glorious hit single that announced the Quo's return from the post-"Matchstick Men" doldrums, the first half of the box powers breathlessly through the band's first decade, drawing as much from the album catalog as it does the band's stylish singles discography -- in fact, several notable hits have been omitted in favor of less readily trawled material, to deliver a more or less flawless portrait of the Quo at their peak. Of course, there are moments within that simply don't bear replaying -- the anthem "Rockin' All Over the World" is a reminder of how readily even "classic" Quo could sink into self-parody, while "Again and Again" was ultimately of greater value to the band's detractors than it was to the Quo's own reputation. Indeed, if anyone ever compiles the ultimate Quo box (which this set certainly isn't), both Alberto y los Trios Paranoias' self-explanatory "Heads Down, No Nonsense, Mindless Boogie" and the Heebeegeebees' "Boring Song" (performed under the Status Quid alias) demand consideration, if only as a reminder of just how culturally all-pervasive the band and, in particular, those two songs were. In terms of British Top 40 statistics, after all, Status Quo has outperformed the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, the Bee Gees, and Oasis, and when U.K. TV institution Top of the Pops celebrated its 2,000th edition in September 2002, guess who opened the show?

If the first half of Rockers Rollin' concentrates on the band's golden age, the other two discs deal with what can only be termed the post-1980 roller coaster ride that saw the band's fortunes (and, indeed, its music) soar from unexpected peaks to unendurable troughs. Only in concert did they retain their equilibrium, a fact readily testified to by the wealth of previously unreleased live tracks that pepper this section. Nevertheless, only occasionally does one's interest in the proceedings really need to take a lunch break, with even the band's periodic dives into self-parody (covers of Steeleye Span's "All Around My Hat" with guest vocalist Maddy Prior and, with the Beach Boys, "Fun Fun Fun") retaining at least the ghost of the excitement that the Quo patented so long ago. Plus, who else do you know who can still imbue "Good Golly Miss Molly" and "Roll Over Beethoven," the most recent cuts on the album, with the fire and passion that they truly deserve? For the curious listener, anyone who's maybe eyed the Quo's backbreaking catalog with curiosity but never dared actually take the plunge, Rockers Rollin' probably packs too much extraneous material to make it a truly sound investment.
For die-hard collectors and the ever-loyal fan, however, the only real problem is that there are only four CDs.
Status Quo deserves far more.
