Status Quo Famous in The Last Century

"Famous in the Last Century" is the 24th studio album by the British rock band Status Quo, released in 2000 to largely negative reviews. According to the band's autobiography, the idea to record it came from their manager David Walker, who said that they should celebrate the millennium with an album containing twenty of their favourite hits from the last century. To quote leader Francis Rossi, "Or, put another way, another bloody covers album! We went along with it, as usual, but inside I felt like a fraud…for me it was the worst Quo album there had ever been - or ever will be!" Ironically it still reached #19 in the UK Albums Chart, a better position than the previous Status Quo album of mainly original material, Under the Influence.

This DVD is truly a must for Quo fans. Quo perfrom all 17 the tracks from their latest album, Famous in the Last Century to a playback. Most of the time however, you wouldn't notice that it wasn't live. As well as the concert footage you can watch Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt talking about everything from their successful career to hair transplants! It is highly amusing and provides valuable insight to the career of one of Britain's most successful rock groups, and is of great interest to the fan, both loyal and casual. Over all the this is much better than the Don't Stop video, as that was clearly performed to playback.
