Bad Company consisted of four seasoned musicians: two former members of Free, singer Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke; former Mott the Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs; and ex-King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell. The band signed to Swan Song Records/Atlantic Records in North America, and with Island Records in other countries. (Island Records had until that time been the UK home to both Free and King Crimson, as well as to Mott the Hoople for their first four albums; Atlantic, in turn, released King Crimson's and Mott's early albums in the US through a licensing agreement with Island). Atlantic/Warner Music would later acquire the non-North American rights to the band's catalogue. ( from Wikipedia
I was here for this as a teenager….. Slash walked through the crowd on his way up to the stage as Bad Company was finishing the song before it, and brushed up against me, leather jacket, top hat and all….. I looked at my father and said “Oh my god, I think Slash just bumped into m, and he looked at me like I was crazy”….. Then this happened
I saw Bad Company in 2010 Mick Ralphs still vital and playing well with Howard Leese on second guitar sharing Rhythm and lead with Mick and Paul the voice of blue's rock killing it with his l bluesy soulful voice played in the original key unlike many singers of his generation
A very Happy 72nd Birthday Paul Bernard Rodgers, December 17th 1949 Middlesbrough, Yorkshire also, a Canadian citizen. From Free to Bad Company to The Firm to The Law to Queen and of course your solo work.. Your a rock music Icon. Thank you for being born today..

True. What a voice. But this is a pretty naff melodic variation on the original - which was very distinctive. He's done a very cliched interpretation - like one of a million other in the same vein on any number of songs.
NOT BLUES BABY!? Unless in your mind & Musical Realm is only stuck being BLUE!? He is THE GOLD STANDARD OF ROCK AT IT'S FINEST!!!SINCE FREE! THE BAND!!
Damn! In 1993 I had the chance to see him for free and Vinoy In St. Petersburg Florida. I had three tickets, the two idiots who were supposed to go back down at the last minute. I still am kicking myself in the ass for not going. This guy is a legend! Always has and always will be. Paul Rodgers you ROCK!
@@hawnyfox3411 ; There is so many days I regret not going to see him. I have been a bad company fan all my life. There was like six of us that were supposed to go.

"10 from 6" wuz just a compilation album IIRC Certainly WAS NOT one of their 'regular' studio releases - I'm old enough to've bought them ALL - (1st-time around) - I started with "Straight Shooter" (their 2nd album), then, retrospectively bought their 1st-album (debut) with "Ready For Love" & "Seagull" I can still remember buying "Burning Sky", "Run With The Pack" AND even "Desolation Angels" in the 1970's Only 1980's BC album I bought was "Rough Diamonds" That was back in 1982. In other words, I bought ALL of their albums when "new" & always upon 1st-initial-release (except 1st) Should also explain that I was a fan of "FREE" Bad Co, were FAR more successful in the U.S.A Many Brit' record-buyers had 'poor-taste', sadly !!!!!
As good as all of these musicians are accompanying him, Paul Rodgers is on a level all by himself. His voice is right up there with Aretha. From my hometown 'the Boro' as well!
I like the way Slash bends a note, then sustains it, then adds just little tiny bend more. And his opening to his solo was classic, very unique playing indeed
Paul Rodgers in the best vocal form in years ! Even tho this was years ago ! Slash & Schon (Nice name for a band !) in fine form too ! A great nod to the great Paul Kossoff !
Slash's guitar playing style is so undeniably unique. You can pick a Slash solo out of a group. Neal was amazing, Slash was amazing, and Paul Rodgers, as always is the mf'ing MAN.
Absolutely f...ing awesome must be god sent to be able to solo like that at a whim, truly magical.If you were there your soul must have been touched.God bless them all,but especially Paul Rodgers.
I can't believe I never did see Bad Co in concert. Paul Rodgers is amazing. Total panty dropper. I do think in the Led Zep heyday Plant was the best rock singer, but his voice hasn't held up over time. Paul has still got it. Great vid!

Very rarely can you say a live version is better than the recorded version....This is one of those instances. Instead of waiting until the end to sing the higher pitched words of "wishing well" Paul brings it in earlier...when you mix that with the slightly more distorted guitar it works out perfectly, and sounds amazing.
@@donjohn2695 it’s worlds better. Especially how Paul sings it on here. He’s more enthusiastic and changes how the notes are sung and goes into a higher key than on the recording which makes the song better than the original recording. It’s great!!!

Free... In my opinion, one of THE greatest rock blues bands ever.. bar none....
Paul Rodgers had the best rock&roll voice ever. Perfect.
Still does! He's like a fine wine, he gets better and better with time ❤
Had? Yeah, he still has it! Lol
Greatest rock vocalist EVER Mr Paul Rodgers
Has
He still has the stuff buddy!! He sounds better now. He has aged like a fine wine and keeps getting better all the time!!!

I Love this song
Paul Rodgers.....Might be the best 60 something singer on the planet!
Simon Kirke is beating those drums like they owe him money 💰.
Absolutely underrated drummer
Wishing Well is a Free classic!
Paul Rogers and Neal Schon on the same stage. Both two of the most underrated musicians in history.
Agreed
My favorite Free song!! Thanks for sharing
Mine too!
A guitar lovers dream. Sometimes when listening to Journey I forget how great Neal is on the guitar. But all these guys are in a class by themselves.
Paul Rodgers in the best vocal form in years ! Even tho this was years ago ! Slash & Schon (Nice name for a band !) in fine form too ! A great nod to the great Paul Kossoff !
Well put , heard those Kossoff nuances in Neal,s solo too , Slash being Slash , cool as well but Neal,s solo , wow !!👌
Paul Kossof's dad David was a Rabbi (?) who used to do religious readings on a Sunday afternoon TV show in the early 60's.
No one shreds like Neal Schon!!!!!👍👍
Blackmore Micheal schenker rik emmit Gary moore Ronnie montrose evh Jimi Hendrix srv satrianni do
Yeahhh, Bad Company till I die ❤❤❤❤❤
the Best Male Vocalist of all time
It's great to see Slash playing rock classics..
Yes I have to think of the emotion about to play in The Rock classics
saw this bloke in cardiff last year ,he just owned the stage and blew everyone away
"This Bloke" (Hahaahaa)
Ya mean Paul Rodgers , not just some ordinary bloke
Paul simply the best rock blues singer ever.
Oh WOW WOW WOW ❤️
Slash's guitar playing style is so undeniably unique. You can pick a Slash solo out of a group. Neal was amazing, Slash was amazing, and Paul Rodgers, as always is the mf'ing MAN.
Wow, just found this! What an awesome performance! They don’t mae ‘em like this anymore! Made my day .......... rock it!!!
Absolutely f...ing awesome must be god sent to be able to solo like that at a whim, truly magical.If you were there your soul must have been touched.God bless them all,but especially Paul Rodgers.
buy a guitar ...and learn the pentatonic scale , position 1 and 2 ...thank me later
just what a person needs on a chilly saturday night, a night with gods.
If Slash is in it IT'S BADASS!
If I ever got a hold of this man??? he wouldn't make it home for a month!🤣🤘
it's funny you are all arguing about Slash and Neil. I'm simply enjoying great music!
Hell yeah!
I didn't know anyone was arguing. I'm just enjoying the band and Paul Rogers voice...Bitchin!
There's nothing to argue about. Neil Schon's note selection and sense of melody is simply unmatched. ;)
I want peace in a peaceful world...
Paul Rogers IS the VOICE
Funny enough, THAT was his actual (well-known) nickname within the music industry
(Hardly surprising, given quality of his voice)
Have this concert on dvd 😁
What a combo!!
Yep, Rodgers and Kirke.
Magnifico...💞🙏👣🦋,,,
Paul Rodgers ALWAYS THe BEST❤❤
I've always liked that song. Great number.
I caught up to Wishing Well 10 years too late, but it never left.
