Omg My work my life TENDS TO EXPRESS WHAT

We were so young in 1970. And hope that spirit continues. Paul Rodgers is the voice.

First of all, this is not 1970 This is from their May 1971 tour of Japan and Australia. It's an Interesting interview because if you'll notice, there's a bit of tension and depressed energy in the room and it's not just jet lag they are dealing with. Right before they embarked on this tour while they were mixing stuff in the studio, Paul and Andy announced to the other two that they were leaving the band after the tour. Simon and Koss were shocked, and it was definitely a factor in really setting Koss off the deep end as far as his addiction problems. So here they are doing an interview knowing that it was all coming to an end soon, and not being able to tell anybody. So as you can imagine, there's an uptight vibe. Why did Paul and Andy decide to split? Several reasons I think. Paul and Andy who were the main songwriters, weren't getting along. The band had just recently released their follow-up to All Right Now with The Stealer, which they all liked and had high hopes for, but it flopped along with the album it came from, Highway. This was a real kick in the gut and a blow to their young egos. The album cover for Highway was awful and it was released without any of their input or consent. Adding to all of this was the beginning of Koss' downward spiral. So I guess it was all too much and there was a desire to escape. Which is a damn shame because they were such a great band. They needed a reassuring voice to settle them down and give them hope to stick it out. I honestly think that if Koss had been able to get it together, and they had remained as a band, they would've been one of the biggest bands of the 70's. Their talent was just too immense. They would have made another monster hit like All Right Now and would've been well on their way.

What are the names of the individuals?

I remember reading something a long time ago about Ritchie Blackmore bragging on Paul Kossoff's guitar playing. He truly respected Kossoff. The first 3 studio albums of FREE are outstanding! Very eclectic in places and they Rock out! They were really special

What a shame there life as a band was cut far to sort

All Right Now was on radio as our train entered Waverly Station, Edinburgh, about August 1970!

Length of this video. 4:20. How apropos 💨🚬

loved this band saw them in 69 in a club - 100 odd people crammed in like peas in a pod

Koss's beautiful smile...

I love the Free band and their music. Rest in Peace Andy Fraser and Paul Kossoff. I hope the surviving members, Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke do a movie about them one day. It is sad this group broke up due to many issues happened in the band.

Would it be fair to say that Bad Company as good as they are, borrowed their sound from Free ?

Kossof gets alot of mentions from guitarists who know anything about any music greats.. Paul Rogers stll mentions Koss quite often. Thinks he’s the best lead guitarist he’s ever played with, which is saying alot being Koss was only about 25 when he died.

Paul Rodgers looks like he was pulled out of a shack deep in the mountains for this interview.

I’m very fascinated with Paul Rodger’s eyebrows during this interview

These guys are so articulate and cool 👍

Fantastic band! 😊😎🎸🇬🇧🇺🇦

Paul Kossof the best!

The stress on the band was telling. Sydney would be their final show as they broke up after the gig and all flew their separate ways. The tour was hijacked by an Imbecile gangster named Sammy Lee.

Unibrow!!! 👁

Intelligent, articulate young men. Society and the world has devolved so much since this interview.

Rodgers is wiped out here

Ei kiitos

They're all on the same smack, crackle and pop drug here. Groovy man.

What a band want a good party put free and bad co on brilliant rock on

Can someone fix the aspect ratio on this please? It looks ridiculous.

Still love free. I am 65 years old 🧓

When Paul kossoff let's that double bend down real slow...

I've loved this band since they started. Paul Rogers voice is still the same today and as far as I can tell neither he nor Free have been inducted in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Unfuckingbelieveable.

excellent,.... super belo, belo, belo, muito bon genial,....toppe magnifique, muy bien gracias, obrigado, mercy Mother's Friendship 5 X 5 Mother's Friendship 5 5 5 5 5 Fran Records Costa Rica, USA and Germany

Paule rogers looks like a Pirate.

"Убитые" все.

paul rogers's got the caveman look going --- lol 🤣👀🤣

Four well-spoken and thoughtful young blokes who were swept along by early success. Bad Company were better-managed.

Paul is one of the greatest Guitarist ever.

Please someone shave Paul Rogers 'middle brow'....RIP Koss

Kossoff looks like ozzy

Paul Rogers has a world class unibrow in this era

Nothing worse than an interviewer who isn’t into the music of the band they are interviewing. Inane questioning, ‘have Free developed any stage act or do you just stand around playing?’ Fantastic band. Thanks for posting.

All Right Now. The KING of every assembly holiday dance. Before Jr high in ' 70. Never heard any interviews. . Great but hearing Koss, wow...

Artigiano del suono insieme a Rory Gallagher!

God bless you for uploading this vid. Koss and rodge woth andy amd simon. Band of my youth

Brilliant young man and fantastic band 🎶

You will never see a harder working drummer than the drummer from Free at their gig at Isle of Wight, given the limited kit he had there

Koss would've caught on with wicked players if he would of lived.

"KING KOSS" (RIP) - King of the greatest Vibrato & the most Expressive electric Guitar playing ever, bar none.
