On their comeback Status Quo band members was looking different in their physical appearance but there hasn't been any change in their voice.It seems that there is still something lacking when Status Quo made their long-awaited – and three-times postponed – return to the Regent on 16,Nov,2010.
Their fans waited for almost 2 years as the band previous winter's show was canceled thrice due to illness
That only increased the crowd’s anticipation – and unfounded rumours earlier this week that the show could be postponed only fanned the anticipation.
They are always pumped the crowd and rocks the stage, but this time they had different strategy in there mind.In the first half of show the band
During the first half of the near two-hour set the band revived several album tracks from the 70s and 80s that will have been unfamiliar to all but the diehard fans.
I’ve seen them several times, but there were tracks new to me. One of the finest was the Rick Parfitt song “For You” which showed a very different Quo to that most of us know and love.
During the second half of the set we were treated to more of the old standards that were familiar to all.
But the band doesn't look perfect with their voices aren’t as flexible or as durable as they once were.
Francis has always taken the lion’s share, in the end he was fumbling with his voice,he really needs the help of audience and rest of the band to continue more
But that is a very small niggle at the end of a great night of music – and after all the problems of last winter it was a real treat to see the boys back in town.
This was actually the first time I had seen the Status Quo at the Regent since 2006 although Ipswich has always remained a key date on all their tours – and coming back to see them after such an absence certainly helped me to appreciate just what a professional and committed act they still are.
