The album was an instant success, charting at No.8 and selling over a quarter of a million copies in the UK alone. In July 2009 the Pictures live tour landed at Montreux in Switzerland as part of the world famous festival. The band, led as always by the twin Telecasters of Francis Rossi & Rick Parfitt, delivered a blistering set of hits and classic tracks from across their career including no less than 18 UK Top 20 hits. Huge screens behind the stage illustrated high points from Quo s career and the usually reserved Swiss crowd were rockin all over the Stravinski Auditorium! Review: like most people do when they get older - Status Quo..what can you say? The guitarheroes Parfitt and Rossi changed hairstyles, like most people do when they get older. The rest just gets better. But let`s forget about those two at the moment. Let`s start at the back of the stage with Letley on drums. His style and sound suit the Quo-style perfect. There have been drummers before that were just as good, but being able to fit in with Quo you have to know your place and what the "happy" sound of Quo is, and Letley play the songs like he should, but he doesn`t try to copy the ones before him, he has his own style. Then you got Brown handling keys, more guitars and backing vocals. In a band that play songs with a lot of energy and A LOT of sound like Quo, you need the multitalented guy who give the songs some spice. A good steak is nothing if there's no spice or sauce. You need that extra something for it to taste good. Rhino is not only enjoying himself on stage, but his connection with the fans/crowd is something some bands struggle with. When the people ON stage really look like they have a good time, the crowd usually do to. Rhinos bassplaying surprised me when I first heard him in Quo. As a teenager when "In the army now" was released I started to work my way back in the Quo discography. I`ve always loved what Steve Harris do in Iron Maiden, Geezer in Sabbath and so on, but Rhino made his bass a part of the band. He wasn`t showing off with solos and such, but he was part of the massive rock sound of Quo. It was like a major part of the foundation of the bands sound, and THAT is he does so brilliantly at Montreux in 2009. Rossi says in an interview he`s nervous to go on stage. I think he said he`d rather go home, but once he`s up there: He loves it. There was a man named Elvis Presley, if someone can remember him...who said almost the same thing. There are other artists/performers who are exactly the same. The thing they got in common is they`re fantastic on stage. Their presence is so great, and so important to the band, there is no way it could be done without them. They own the stage. To me, Rossi is a fantastic guitarplayer and a good singer but he`s also someone on stage that the crowd loves. He can just look at them and smile and I`m sure they`ll go home smiling for a month. The point is that Rossi could be your neighbor up on stage. He`s "one of us", just a bit more talented when it comes to performing :-) A lot of this could be said for Parfitt as well. Down to earth guy in interviews, he`s as far from a diva on stage you`ll ever get etc. BUT, his guitarsound is unique. You can go on for days mentioning famous rhythm guitarplayers, but to me there are TWO who deserve the credit to be the best in the business. Parfitt of Quo and Malcolm Young of Ac/Dc. The sound, the rhythm, the style the approach to the songs. The whole thing would sound very "thin" without Parfitt. He`s been one of my guitarheroes for ages, and not just for his playing but when you look at the stage and you can`t see him you have to look twice to see if it`s Quo. Parfitt and Rossi show what they can do on a stage at Montreux in 2009. They play so well together, and have done so since The Beatles said Hello and Goodbye. I have several live recordings of Quo on blu-ray, dvd and cd..and LP..but this one is one of their best. We keep saying that bands slow down and get softer as they get older. No rule without an exception and THIS is it! Review: Modern production, HD sound and vision, classic quo! - This review is about the bluray version . I watched this on a 8ft projection screen, surround sound etc. and the picture and sound is absolutely top quality. Classic quo numbers and great production just suck you into the concert. I especially like the lack of gimmicky cut away clips or trick lense shots that I see too much on concert videos. This is shot straight, from all the angles, and you get a great sense of a live concert. Great fun. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Status Quo | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 217 Reviews | | Format | PAL | | Genre | music video & concert | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05036369819491 | | Manufacturer | Eagle Rock | | Number of discs | 1 | | Runtime | 2 hours and 22 minutes | ## Images ![Status Quo: Pictures - Live At Montreux 2009 [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ywJKfIi+L.jpg) ![Status Quo: Pictures - Live At Montreux 2009 [DVD] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718vr1JH2fL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ like most people do when they get older *by F***E on 3 August 2014* Status Quo..what can you say?
