Two south London fellows called [a=Alan Lancaster] (bass) and [a=Francis Rossi] (guitar - known as [a5373623] during the band's early years) founded the band in 1962. First name The Paladins soon changed to [a=The Spectres (2)] (another previously-documented early name, The Scorpions, is disputed). 
In 1966, the band changed their name to "The Traffic", shortly thereafter to [a=The Traffic Jam (2)]. The lineup consisted of Lancaster, Rossi, [a=John Coghlan] (drums) and [a=Roy Lynes] (keyboard).
A year later, the band changed name once again to "The Status Quo". [a=Rick Parfitt] (guitar) joined the band. Their first hit record, "Pictures of Matchstick Men", was released. "The" was omitted from the name of the band in 1969, known thereafter as just "Status Quo"

The "Official Archive Series" continues with 'Vol. 2 - Live In London'! This was a hometown show recorded on December 19, 2012, during the band's 'Quo Festive' tour, just before Christmas. The setlist at the O2 Arena featured the lineup of Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Andrew Bown, John 'Rhino' Edwards, and Matt Letley [in his final UK performance as Quo's drummer] delivering a slew of classic songs and even included a Christmas Medley with "Walking In A Winter Wonderland," "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree," and Quo's own "It's Christmas Time."
