He has something special. All day this song was in my mind. Listened to it a few times and even the Mott the Hoople version, but Paul Rogers is on it! Saw him with the Firm in 1985/6 in Daytona:)
Please invent TIME MACHINE, so that i can go back to this beautiful era..... Am I the only one that can never move to our todays music but always go back to those days though im not even born on those days but still feel the music.
@@AspergerL I just know Paul Rogers does not need Freddie Mercury to validate him! Yes, he's the man.Queen was very lucky to have him front the band for a while.
Could never afford LPs album bought bootleg cassette tapes ....played over n over till it stuck ...heeee Now i am 65 years old with the most beautiful grand daughter Rowena Thulasi Valor living in St John island, Canada. Thank you Jesus for this amazing blessing.
Nope never underrated. Bad Company is the one and only band to ever record on Swan Song label. Owners of Swan Song label - Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant once said Paul Rodgers is the most soulful singer Ive ever heard.
I don't really see them as being the best of the best - but damn good. Kind of went way too commercial for me. I do not like this version, I like Mott's original version. This is a song written and sung by Mick Ralphs, who puts the proper passion into it. There are about 5 songs by BC that I just love--- but that sadly is it. Rogers with Free was at his best and Ralphs I think was at his best with Mott, although I like anything Mick Ralphs does.
Right. They were never underrated. They were huge in the 1970's and into the 1980's. Bad Company was as popular and successful as any of the big names of that time.
Viva os anos 70/80 eu cabeludo calça boca de sino, salto carrapeta, cinto com fivelão as meninas piravam época maravilhosa dançando agarradinho beijando na boca era bom demais
Saw Paul Roger's performance in 2018 in West Palm Beach. I couldn't believe how good his vocals were. Most lead singers from his era can longer belt out the tunes the way they used to. That's completely normal. This guy is truly phenomenal!
Bad Company was my Favorite Band back in the 70's. I was a Teenager in High School then. When I listen to them now from the 70's brings back alot of good Memories.
Paul always gives his all, even back then when they were so young, he lost himself completely in this song.....this video and this song and performance is my all time favourite ......i quess as an artist you want to always get better and better but for me, this was already amazing stuff and hard to top
My mom used to absolutely jam some Bad Company, back in the mid 90s, when I was about 5 or 6, while we cruised around in a brand new 1994 Vibrant Red, 5 speed 5.0 Mustang GT, which had the premium Boss Sound system in it. NOW THAT WAS A FEELING! I'll never forget it.
@@MyAlexWest geez any more insightful observations that ain't got nothing to do with nothing ,but must be important to YOU...but it's amazing in later videos how much Rodgers has become so refined and more soulful on this piece. ( No emogi necessary).
OMG! I remember staying up until 1am Saturday mornings to watch Don Kirshner's Rock Concert! I was about 14 or 15 and the music back then puts the stuff today to shame. The 70's were silk shirts, Levi's, Earth shoes, surfing, skating and skateboarding. The guys had long hair and the girls even longer. Just a suntan and a smile, no makeup, no green or purple hair, no all over body tattoos, no giant plugs in our lips or ears. You could go see a doubleheader concert with big name bands for $8.50. I sure do miss those days.
Damn...what a performance...this was my Senior Year in High School...amazing. Look at that stack of Ampeg Amps the late great Boz Burrell had, 500 watts up there Mick Ralphs had at least the same amount when Ampeg made the guitar version. Not to mention his overdrive and that beautiful Les Paul....great powerful live setup on this!
I'm listening to Paul Rogers and thinking, "Not his best performance." Which is true - and then it hits me that most singers would kill to sound this good even once. That's how good he is.
I've been to the Rock and roll hall of Fame and coming to the realization that Deep Purple and so many others are not in it and so many that are not rock and roll are ? Screw the Hall and what they think is Rock
Thank you, Simon, Boz, Mick and Paul. You have endured. Strange as it may seem, at 70 years old, this is one of fhe things I love to listen to before I go to sleep
I've always thought Paul Rogers had the ideal vocals. He belts out controlled aggression like he was born to sing. Then he's makin' love to our ears in those "Ballads O' Rock"(lol!) Smooth, and the rest without4f ty signs of transition.
They dont need hall of fame,hall of fame needs them.legends were born,history is already made.they dont need that crap piece of metal to prove anything anymore.
Gene Ferguson--This absolutely must NOT be TURE? IF it is, I wouldn't walk into the place if it was "FREE"! I didn't mean to do that, but it's cute. I must say.
Ive just listened to Paul Rodgers singing in 2013 live and now listening to this. His voice has not changed at all. What an amazing singer. He should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The definition of a Supergroup. Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke (surviving members of Free), Mick Ralphs (Mott The Hoople), and Boz Burrell (King Crimson). Serious musicianship all around.
I took the Bad Company album to a party soon after it was released in 1974. It stayed on the turntable most of the evening and I've never had so much success with girls, coming up to me with "I hear you brought this music".
Love this song, forgot how much I love it, haven't listened to it in years. Bought their album when I was 13 I think. Will be 60 next month. :) Wish I would've been able to see them in concert.
In the 70s I remember seeing my mom and dad always dancing to this jam slow dancing so much in love nine months later I have a little brother thanks guys Well today is 2018 it’s 4 o’clock and I’m watching you on TV thank guys it takes me back all the way to see both my parents dancing and love to this music to this song
I am a massive Pearl Jam fan , always said Eddies voice was the greatest voice I had heard , especially live in the 90’s ,probably bias being such fan , truthfully Paul Rodgers is the greatest vocalist period IMO and as far as debut albums that are in a conversation for greatest release ever - Bad Co album is arguably on the podium for 1st place , an absolute classic
Blows me away that their not in the rock and roll hall of fame, how is that even possible? Seriously that's obsurd their definitely one of the top 10 all time best bands ever!!!
The hall of fame ought to be ashamed of themselves for not putting this band in the Hall of Fame at all. Who agrees?
I agree Kayanda. They are legends
+Kayanda Eddings At least paul rodgers should be in the HOF when also considering his other band Free. Have u heard Free's stuff Kayanda?
+Kayanda Eddings And Deep Purple. Ritchie Blackmore all the way!
+Kyung Yon Jhi that's true. Deep purple should get there do as well. And, I love the group free.
I do
Never has there ever been a vocalist who rocks with perfection as Paul Rodgers. #1 Bad Company fan
what? Are we listening to the same thing?
@@lisafisher7132 i guess its a matter of preference...only my opinion
Love Paul Rogers and BadCo., saw them in 98, sounded just like the record, incredible..
On the short list of Best Ever. Saw him with Queen, and it was magic.
He has something special. All day this song was in my mind. Listened to it a few times and even the Mott the Hoople version, but Paul Rogers is on it! Saw him with the Firm in 1985/6 in Daytona:)
What a great band. Just pure talent. No bullshiit distractions, dancers on stage. Back when bands could actually play and sing live
I'd say Paul Rodgers pants and crop top are a pretty big distraction.
Not many guys could wear that outfit and still be smoking’ hot, 100% masculine!
@@Crinkle821 Perfect response!
The 70's had some of the very best music, singers, and some damn good looking men.
Boz Burrell and Simon Kirke! Hot as hell !
Thats why classic Rock stays on my Radio!
You speak the truth
Got that right.
Omg. He was wearing the hell out of those slacks.
Bad Co. One of the greatest rock band of all times. Paul Rogers one of the best rock singers.
Oh Yeah!
True words brother
Free was the real deal with Paul Rogers..
He sounds better now!
Correct x 2
that voice is truly the best in rock and roll
Please invent TIME MACHINE, so that i can go back to this beautiful era..... Am I the only one that can never move to our todays music but always go back to those days though im not even born on those days but still feel the music.
Paul rodgers is one of the most beautiful voices of rock and roll
One of the greatest bands of the 70's love them!
Just behind Free.
When Freddie Mercury says you are one of his favorite rock vocalist...that's saying something
And Robert Plant calls you THE British vocalist above himself or anyone else
Freddie Mercury wasn't a good singer at all.
@@AspergerL I just know Paul Rogers does not need Freddie Mercury to validate him! Yes, he's the man.Queen was very lucky to have him front the band for a while.
Was loooking for *this* comment.!!! Yessssssss
One of Lou Gramm's favorites too!
❤Love this song,reminds me of young love with my husband,we were teenagers,married young and he's in heaven waiting on me now.
❤
Could never afford LPs album bought bootleg cassette tapes ....played over n over till it stuck ...heeee
Now i am 65 years old with the most beautiful grand daughter Rowena Thulasi Valor living in St John island, Canada.
Thank you Jesus for this amazing blessing.
bad company is so underrated especially paul rogers such a great blues rock singer

What a vocalist....I've listened to Bad Co since the early 70's and still do today.
MusicHeartofMine2012 Still is and I have had the pleasure of shaking hands with him and Bad Company.
Right. They were never underrated. They were huge in the 1970's and into the 1980's. Bad Company was as popular and successful as any of the big names of that time.
No one can ever compare to this man! Paul Rodgers is amazing...still to this day. Love everything he has ever done!
Ever since i have been introduced to Bad Company my life has completely changed. The lyrics alone! Thank you Supernatural. Thank you Dean.
Viva os anos 70/80 eu cabeludo calça boca de sino, salto carrapeta, cinto com fivelão as meninas piravam época maravilhosa dançando agarradinho beijando na boca era bom demais
Big Dean and Sam fan love that they used this great music!!!!
I grew up listening to the bad company. I'm 65 now and still rock out to them . They're the best.
Same here
Paul Rogers was so hot..love his long hair & cool moves, along w/his most awesome voice. Bad Company Rules!! Always & Forever! 😊😊☮☮✌✌💕💕
Tes! He's 1 hot tomata! Lol. . . . Gotta dig those white bell bottoms. Twas the great times!!!
This band are so tight, as tight as Paul's bell bottoms 🤗
These guys were the real deal when I was young and fooling around. Paul Rodgers was my musical hero in the seventies and he still is.
I had such a thing for Paul Rogers back in the day. This vid reminds me why 👍
Bad Company = Free/2. That's a compliment.
Saw Paul Roger's performance in 2018 in West Palm Beach. I couldn't believe how good his vocals were. Most lead singers from his era can longer belt out the tunes the way they used to. That's completely normal. This guy is truly phenomenal!
100% he’s fucking amazing
He will never lose his touch cause he has strong principals
BEST VOICE THERE WILL EVER BE! So lucky to have been a teenager in the 70s!
OMG! am teary-eyed while listening.... am pushing 62 and being beautifully melancholic...BAD COMPANY!!
Just saw them in Chicago last month and I was blown away. Paul Rodgers voice is amazing ---just as good as it was in this performance.
And he is aging well as well..
I want my mtv!!! Lol. I want some money for nothing and some chick's for free!!! Lol lol
Paul Rodgers just keeps getting better & better with the passing years. Wonderful voice and damn good looking! ❤
Gotta dig those groovy bell bottoms! Lol. . . . Great band!
LOVE his outfit, DAMN adorable:-)
@@karentroyer9688
Amen sister
Mr. Simon Kirke...the best rock drummer EVER!!!! That bass drum and snare are simply the bomb!
Happy birthday Paul Rodgers! One of the greatest musicians in history, what a voice!
Kudos to Mick Ralphs for solid songwriting.
Paul Rodgers had the best voice in rock & roll
Felix Norman has*
You mean Has
there are/were a few...Rodgers, David Byron, Robert Plant to name a couple. not to forget the master: Joe Cocker.
Miyuki Shijisha Joe Cocker was having seizures. It was a medical condition. That's why he was always writhing around.
Joe was brilliant and a good old home boy.
Paul Rogers and Bad Company are tops in my books! ❤ Love from Texas
Bad Company was my Favorite Band back in the 70's. I was a Teenager in High School then. When I listen to them now from the 70's brings back alot of good Memories.

1974 and Bad Company was on top of their game. The '70s rocked! 2019 and music is flat lined. No pulse.
No shit!!! Bring back the real music.!!! The 70's and the 80's will always be the best of the best.!!!
Ohhh! Brings back my high school days memories!!! Riding around town listening to Bad Company on our 8 Track players in our cars cruising for boys!!!
u r so lucky Karol!!
My mom used to absolutely jam some Bad Company, back in the mid 90s, when I was about 5 or 6, while we cruised around in a brand new 1994 Vibrant Red, 5 speed 5.0 Mustang GT, which had the premium Boss Sound system in it. NOW THAT WAS A FEELING! I'll never forget it.
Back when great vocals were more important than trimmed eyebrows.
I get that
raZist
UP!
@@MyAlexWest geez any more insightful observations that ain't got nothing to do with nothing ,but must be important to YOU...but it's amazing in later videos how much Rodgers has become so refined and more soulful on this piece. ( No emogi necessary).
Hilarious! Your so correct my friend

Lisa T amen ! :'(
My soulmate loves this song and more than anything Bad Company!
Back when
Paul Rodgers sang with REAL feelings.
Thanks for sharing
I love this .
One of the best singers of all time period
What a voice !!! He should be in the Rock n Roll HOF long time ago !!!
One of cleanest rock n roll bands of all time sound wise seen them with pat Travers and steppon wolf
Damn...what a performance...this was my Senior Year in High School...amazing. Look at that stack of Ampeg Amps the late great Boz Burrell had, 500 watts up there Mick Ralphs had at least the same amount when Ampeg made the guitar version.

I'm listening to Paul Rogers and thinking, "Not his best performance." Which is true - and then it hits me that most singers would kill to sound this good even once. That's how good he is.
BAD CO....FOREVER.
Paul has been approached to join the hall of fame more than once and turned it down, that’s why he’s not in there
Still have this album from 74 Bad Company the soundtrack of my youth !
Everybody that loves rock n roll music.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE ALBUMS 😊❤
Outstanding ! This is how it's done kids
Yes indeed...
Paul Rogers sure has the voice.
I've been to the Rock and roll hall of Fame and coming to the realization that Deep Purple and so many others are not in it and so many that are not rock and roll are ? Screw the Hall and what they think is Rock
Otis Jocko They seem not to like British groups. Has happened a lot. Seeing the crap that is in there, perhaps it is better they aren't included...?
The most sexiest man I’ve ever laid eyes on😍💖💋
hes so sexy here yummy
So very much agree, such a sexy gift of a man
And then- that voice
He definitely does it.
Oh sweet Jesus, YESSS!!!
Just fantastic creatures. I’m 60 now. I grew up on this stuff. But sounds great still 2022. Haa
Thank you, Simon, Boz, Mick and Paul. You have endured. Strange as it may seem, at 70 years old, this is one of fhe things I love to listen to before I go to sleep
SIMON KIRKE ONE OF THE BEST DRUMMERS EVER.HE FEELS THE SONGS DEEPLY.OUTSTANDING ROCK PIECE OF ART.
Gimme back the 70's, my faded jeans and my long hair.
Legend... True musician and master piece that shall pass down generation by generation.✌😎🍻
Excellent vocal work, Just excellent.
No one is capable of writing music like this now-a-days.
Thank God for Paul Rodgers. Thank God for Free and Bad Company.
Wow what an amazing voice. Unreal.
Love Paul Roders and Bad Co. Paul has the best voice in the business. He puts his heart and soul in performing.
❤ can’t beat the 70’s bands brilliant Bad Company!! ❤
I've always thought Paul Rogers had the ideal vocals. He belts out controlled aggression like he was born to sing.
Then he's makin' love to our ears in those "Ballads O' Rock"(lol!) Smooth, and the rest without4f ty signs of transition.
Wonderful band great vocalist! Soundtrack of my youth. Jam to the tunes to this day.
That's because he was born to sing
One of the greatest rock songs in history.
It's an absolute shame that The Hall of fame thinks Janet Jackson belongs and Bad Company doesn't.
Gene Ferguson , trophy’s, accolades & such were not given by a coach whom taught me.
No awards, team kinda thing.
I hope he doing ok,
I'll never go there and it's only an hour from my home.
I agree 100% and we will have more garbage, from this new generation
They dont need hall of fame,hall of fame needs them.legends were born,history is already made.they dont need that crap piece of metal to prove anything anymore.
Gene Ferguson--This absolutely must NOT be TURE? IF it is, I wouldn't walk into the place if it was "FREE"! I didn't mean to do that, but it's cute. I must say.

Brilliant music, still cannot get enough of it! Still listening in 2018. Time less piece of music. Love it**
Definitely a top 10 band of all time. Incredibly lyrical songs, vocals, and rock sound.
Paul Rodgers voice still sounds amazing today. Unlike many from this generation, they 100% belong in the hall of fame. Thanks for this post. ❤
1974...
2024 What happened to creativity, talent & music...
tic tok
We will take it with us to the undying lands & into Valhalla. The West is the Best.
Film as well. It’s all went downhill. Quality of art has diminished as time and technology moves on, for all mediums.
It went to Japan.
Bad Company is simply timeless✌🏾
that such a voice by Paul Rodgers ... only the singers of that time know how to keep it ... those were true singers
The definition of a Supergroup. Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke (surviving members of Free), Mick Ralphs (Mott The Hoople), and Boz Burrell (King Crimson). Serious musicianship all around.
OMG Paul how awesome are you, geez. Absolutely love these guys.
One of the best bands and song of all time

that such a voice by Paul Rodgers ... only the singers of that time know how to keep it ... those were true singers
*sooo freaking amazing!*
*sooo under freaking rated!*
DAMNIT that what I'm freaking talking about! Right THEIR!
I love his voice.
Mick Ralphs wrote this amazing song when he was in Mott the Hoople
Saw them so many times but this era was a blast we had the best rock and roll
Ya !!!!

One of my most favs ever since high sch in 79 n hv enjoyed listening to them ever since, my youngest girl 22 also loves classic rock.
Saw them in the 70's. The baby's opened for them. Good show.
🎵🎼🎶🎸😎👊
Bad Company is my all time favorite band, I personally could listen to them all day every day any time any song ♡♡♡♡♡♡ you til " The day I Die "
What a voice, even in his 70s amazing !
50 YEARS..... DAMN. Great songs live on, yeah......
Paul Rogers is a soulful rocker, right after Jimmy Dewar! ☮️🎼♥️
Love the 60's & 70's when long hair was the style! ,👍💕😘🎉
1st class songwriting and performance.
Wow that bass groove …solid
This is definitely the best quality version of that show I have seen and I have seen them all. Thanks for posting.
So used to hearing the polished studio versions , this really shows the blues influence.
Blows me away that their not in the rock and roll hall of fame, how is that even possible? Seriously that's obsurd their definitely one of the top 10 all time best bands ever!!!
Paul has the best voice in rock and he was hot. 🔥
amazing performance!
Rodgers outfit gets an extra thumbs up! Fantastic song!
