Suzi Quatro Review: Signature Scream Thrills at Glasgow Show Despite Lengthy Set
Veteran rocker Suzi Quatro, now 75, delivered a spirited performance at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow, proving her iconic 'scream' remains as powerful as ever. The review highlights her eternally teenage energy and sincere delivery of glam-era hits like '48 Crash' and covers such as Neil Young's 'Rockin' in the Free World'. However, the concert faced criticism for its pacing; while the opening hour was engaging, the second set suffered from lesser material, tedious solos, and overly long introductions. The reviewer particularly noted a segment where Quatro presented career anecdotes with slides as resembling an awkward PowerPoint presentation by Alan Partridge. Although the show included pure pop rushes with tracks like 'Can the Can', it ultimately felt too long, with audience members leaving before the final tribute to Elvis Presley. The article concludes that the performance needed significant cuts to reach its full potential.
