Status Quo Live Boxset 1974 1976

The Status Quo Live boxset collects together three live concert recordings by Status Quo:

  • The 1976 Glasgow concert that features in the Status Quo Live double album.
  • The 1976 Live In Japan aka Tokyo Quo album from the Sunplaza Hall which was originally only released in Japan.
  • Live In Sydney 1974 recorded at Hordern Pavilion

Since fans will already have the Status Quo Live album with the Glasgow concert, the boxset is expensive for what it offers. There is a cheaper option for the mp3 version which gives you a chance to get either or both of the Tokyo and Sydney recordings.

Slade Alive Volume 2 1976 & 1977

Slade Alive Volume 2 is the second live album by British hard glam rock group Slade.

It was recorded in the USA in the Autumn of 1976 and in the UK in the Spring of 1977.

The first live album by Slade, Slade Alive! had been a big success in a similar way to Kiss Alive. In the 1970s, Slade sold more singles than any other group in the UK. Six #1, three #2 and two stopped at #3.

However from 1974/5 onwards their career went into decline. Slade Alive 2 revives their glory days with the emphasis on their hits. Unfortunately it flopped but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth hearing.

Slade Alive volume 2 has been compiled with Slade Alive and other Slade live recordings to form Slade Alive The Live Anthology.
