Status Quo: Odeon Theatre, Birmingham
Sandy Robertson, Sounds, 3 December 1977
DEEP IN the heart of boogieland, as it were. Opening were the v. proficient, v. boring Nutz. I seem to recall hearing stuff from their first two albums ages ago and thinking they were a reasonably promising metal-pop combo. Oh well. Mike stand shaking, riffs a-gogo, guitar effects. Time warp isn't my bag, I'm afraid.
