I wish to God somebody played like this nowadays!
BlackBerry Smoke? But Free were unique. They led not followed
Rival sons came close, but no cigar...
This is the pinnacle right here folks
they invented it ... all others are wanna be's
Eddie 9v
You don't hear and feel dynamics and tempos like this anymore
❤ unique bass playing.
The finest blues rock band ever!
This band is sooooo underrated, nobody talks about them. Great stuff.
People in the know don’t underestimate them at all...particularly Kossoff. He is still held I extremely high regard 45 years after his death. Free were only around for a relatively short time. But they left behind an extremely fine body of work. Perhaps they don’t get talked about as much because they split nearly 50 years ago. But those of us that were there at the time still talk about them 👍
I totally agree. Free was so much more than All Right Now, which isn’t even their best song.
Free were never ever underrated , they have always been highly regarded and will remain so. I don’t know where people get this underrated pish from.
@@bawbag3 I think underrated is the most overrated comment on RUclips at the moment
Only people that don’t know Free call them underrated, for all the rest of us that listened to them live 🎸🎤 know how Great they were 🥇how brilliantly they gelled together to make this timeless music 👍🏻🤘🏼❤️
What you can do with the right notes in the right places.
Kossoff utilizing the volume and tone knobs on his guitar throughout the song and controlling dynamics with his varied pick attack, masterful and no effects needed.
He was freaking amazing in the ways you so perfectly described. Hell, I can bash out power chords, but Koss was a true musician.
(Nice comment!)
Chasbo Daniels Thanks and yeah, those are things it takes most guitarists a lifetime to achieve if they’re able to achieve them at all...and he had mastered it all at such an early age. But even so, the one thing no one can ever fake is soul and feeling...it’s something that’s in you or it’s not. You could feel every note he played because he meant it, such a special player.
perfect comment. he was 20 and already complete. his touch is a caress.
spiritual cramp Yup, his maturity as a player transcended his actual age...most players never approach that kind of mastery in a lifetime of playing. There’s no substitute for that kind of heart and soul, he said more with just one note than just about anyone else.
The good old days when guitarists didn’t rely on a lot of effects.
Most people don't realize these guys were barely out of their teens when this performance was filmed, and Andy Fraser, I believe WAS 18. Just an unbelievably talented group.
Andy 15 when he joined 🙏
Thanks for the reminder!
Wrong. They were are still in their teens except Simon who would have been 20
Been following them since their Tons of Sobs album, before Alright Now was hit, Kossoff was my guitar hero. Went into shock for several days when he died (technically a 2nd time) as I'd dreamed of seeing them live one day.. Then bought the limited edition Free Story double album, played it over and over for years - probably went through more than one stylus on that album alone!
Rodgers turned 21 in Dec. 1970.
Those kids didn't know they were witnessing the greatest Blues Rock group in their lifetime and the Greatest Blues Rock singer as well.
Short lived lisa rip paul and Andy 😔
Talk about a band that played so understated but yet went so hard. Just incredible.
Those kids sitting there look like they have no idea what they just listened to. 😁 Free is about as raw of a band as you can get.
Paul Rodgers, perfect rock singer voice
Damn, I have never heard of these guys until today. I was cruising around listening to Tom Petty radio on Sirius Satellite and his show Buried Treasure and they played this song and I have to pull over and listen to it. Nothing but awesomeness
Perfection - their timing is so tight and Paul Rodgers's performances immaculate to this day
Turned down endorsement from Gillette and Wilkinson
So ruddy tight. The timing, the trousers , the lot. Best band
So true!😂
You aren’t fooling 😅
I was invited to their first gig together,Nag's Head Battersea.They wowed everybody from the get go. What a band,they were destined for greatness.
Saw them that year twice in my home town,
Simply an incredible live band, and so young.
You just don’t get bands like that any more.
There haven't been bands anywhere near their talent for a very very long time.
You are so right, they were so Young!!!! All under the age of 20 with a #1 song, imagine the emense amount of pressure that would put on any person. These young men got better and did extrodinary acts of kindness trying to save their bandmate from the deathgrip of drug addiction. OMG just WOW. LOVE FREE FOREVER!!!!💜💜💜😘
@@sheilab9417
You are so right Sheila.
@Divine Spark
Sunderland.
@Divine Spark
Yes I was there.
It really was incredible.
I don’t know if some of the equipment was damaged but they couldn’t use the whole of the set.
For some reason Sunderland took to them really early and they just seemed to roll on from there.
They were relatively short lived just 3 or 4 years really mainly down to Koss’s drug problems but they really were the business.
If I had that time machine mate they would be the group I’d go back and see, and that from someone who saw Zeppelin, The Floyd and many others back then.
Simple, clean, groovin', no nonsense rock n roll that still holds up 50 years later. Just makes your ears and heart feel great. Like a fine wine or woman made to cherish. Free is top shelf in all areas. No one compares to Paul or Simon when they lock it in. Guitar & Bass had no choice but to jump on board. Awesome!!!
This was an era of bands galore. These young boys could match with anyone. Go watch their performance at the Isle of Wight concert. 13 impeccable songs in front of 500,000+ people. One of my all time favourite bands.
I'm sitting in My van listening to this and enjoying some fine cannabis. I feel this in my soul. Free was one of my Dad's favorite bands, loved to hear him tell me what is was like to see Free, Floyd, Sabbath, CCR, Skynyrd and so many others live.
Koss and that Les Paul is a thing of sheer beauty... My favourite guitarist ever.
Rodgers could strip a hardwood floor with those pipes.
Among the very greatest rock singers and frontmen.
Pretty capable on guitar and keys too!
And re-shine it at the same time.
@@chasbodaniels1744 His voice - not bad. Mediocre on the other 2
Absolutely the greatest description of PR's voice!
Candy Givens of Zephyr was better & brilliant on blues harp & keyboards!!
I’ve never heard a voice like this ever
Paul Rodgers' voice is an instrument in itself!
Who in the world can or could ever make so tight groove, missing nothing, with only 3 instruments. Well : its Free !
Ditto, my thoughts also
rite on! ... 💯% solid! ✊🏾
Superb song and brilliant performance. None better! The singer, the guitarist, the bassist, the drummer are all such brilliant talents and make up one hell of a band.
As were all the best 'trios' (w singer naturally) , tight as they come!!
Alas, almost too good to be true.
They were a great band. Just should've been ranked higher than most bands of their time.
Koss left foot forward power stance is the greatest thing iv ever fucking seen
The bass player Andy Fraser was one of the greats of all time! He either wrote or co-wrote all of these songs that they did and I believe he was only 17 years old at the time.. 👊👑👍
Just started diving deep into old school rock about 2 months ago, late in my 20s and I got to say. Finding free is incredible. They were never talked about at least when I was growing up. Everyone talked about GnR, led, sabbath, the Beatles. But I never heard anything about free, every now and then I would hear about bad company. Free is so good, I don’t know how no one talks about them. I’m definitely showing this band to everyone I know! 😅
Was there ever a better voice, or Bass like that, of course not forgetting Koss. So simply best band ever , sorry forgot Simon great drummer. Loved them all
Heck of a lineup, eh? Andy on bass and Simon on drums had that loosely rolling rhythm down perfectly. Bad Company’s Biz Burrell and Simon Kirke duplicated it and helped sell millions of records.
Boz *
true!
Greatest band ever
That tone, that vibrato... what an awesome player. 👍
2.29 Koss ringing the life out of that Les Paul neck...Iconic pose, genius guitarist.
Ah but the greatest chime comes at 2:47
Rusty Y, yes "wringing the life outa that guitar neck "
Lately I've been thinking that same idea. GUITAR music usually has some non-musically correct sounds. RockNroll is about rebellion.
So hang it by its neck, choke it, make it scream in agony, squeeze your fingers on it's Adams Apple. And the Wang bar makes that slow, death sound.
Only to spring-back to life, and fight some more. Seems like Guitars have a lot to say. And they will YELL about it, if you're not paying attention.
Gotta run , because I hear a siren I guess the guitar called 911 on you. Don't snap it's neck you'd miss your best friend. I know this stuff cuz I'm Guitarded.
I'm binging on Free today...
Like I did yesterday & the day before that, I basically listen to them every day always have always will
We all know how brilliant Paul was then, the magic of Kossofs guitar, but Andy was a fantastic bass player & gave Free its particular sound, he was unique & then was just 16 yrs old turning 17 after a few big hits
Hard to imagine kids today doing what these guys did! Paul being the oldest at 20 & by then they were a huge band touring the world.
Kossoff dying at 26 was worse than tragic, if he'd lived & got off the drugs then we would have seen him become a giant wth his playing its so so damn unfair he had to go.
Indeed, kids these days brainwashed with , well hardly 'music' at all just a bland superficial, talentless, programmed repetitive noise
Paul kossofs guitar method is perfect in my opinion, he gives every note it's moment while impressing the shit out of you
What a band what a voice. None better. Rock on Mr. Rodgers!
I could scream this band is so good
Got me through some dark times in my teens in the early 70’s and still reach the depths of my soul today.
4 Brilliant,very young guys!!!! Big fan of Free GREAT MUSIC!!!!! All top notch 👌👏👍 They surely were underrated! I'm so thankful I grew up when I did!!!!! 60s 70s Best music ever! I saw Bad Co in 79…. and solo Paul in the early 90s. I was very lucky to have met Paul after that show! Paul still has a great voice to this day! I will be cranking up Free ALL weekend!!!!! 😀🎸
Paul Rodgers has a brilliantly unique blues/rock voice,the band is so good,what a performance, wish i was there,amazing for such a young band too👏❤❤
2:34 I love how Rodgers dance moves sync up with Kossoff's vibrato perfectly! #ICONIC
A vibe
Frigging amazing stuff .what a band
So Paul Rodgers was 20 here and hot as ever, love that voice !
Saw this superb band in 1970, so underrated, the best bands are though.
Yeah, the Beatles too lol
The guitar and Bass lick is so haunting. I listen to them when I was in junior high, still love it.Some of the most iconic blues metal sound are set by group like them. Immortalized
THIS IS HOW ITS DONE!! Just classic blues took at its very best.....INCREDIBLE!
One word....... Class !!!
Class. Sheer class, from a bunch of young lads with an ability level way above their late teen years. So sad that Paul never made it through the 'rock years', and Andy has recently left us too.
This band was amazing! Paul Rogers and Steve Marriot were two of the BEST voices in rock! Of course much respect to Paul Kossof too!!!!
You got those right!
Fully agree.
100%
Agreed, plus Andy Frazer was a fantastic bassist
I love this song. Free was underrated. Everybody knows all right now but this song, woman, and wishing well are amazing
Paul Kossof was an incredible guitarist and very underrated, I first heard this on the album when I was maybe 13, omg I’m 68 next birthday; but this sounds as fresh as ever. Beautiful times beautiful music.
When I think about the magical essence of a Gibson Les Paul played through an over-driven Marshal or Orange amp I immediately think of Kossoff.
The Koss was a Boss.
His vibrato gives me goose bumps.
Saw them at the Lanch (UK Cov Uni today) just after Alright Now, was issued. We were at the stage front seated on the main hall floor - I had me Levi jeans and jacket on Che Guevara T-Shirt - I could have touched Paul Rodgers they were that close - what memories
Lynyrd Skynyrd LOVED these guys. You can veryveasily hear Kossoff's influence in Gary Rossington's sound.
Brilliant bass playing.
Them days are sadly gone,nothing stays the same with passing years unfortunately
One of my favourite bassists
❤
Absolutely without doubt the best vocalist ever to twirl a mic stand awesome band
None better. Saw him 2 years ago. He still sounds like that.
Very true, saw Bad Company on Running with the Pack tour in 70’s, Paul’s fabulous
What an amazing band! I can't get enough of their sound, it's so tight and clean.
So good to see Paul still "In it." What a SOUND!
Psalms 104:20
“Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.”
Yeah, good ain't it.
@@keithbrown7681: Underrated post. 😎
Kossoffs solo sounds like 10.000 hourses in wirldwind . And with no effect !!?? no words
So bad ass. My fave rock singer.
Paul Kossoff’s vibrato. OMG!
😮😅😮😢❤😊brilliant bass playing.
My ultimate totally ultimate fave track from the best band that ever was, im in sheer bliss..
Качество исполнения , как для 70-го года - вообще запредельное. Спустя 50 лет слушаю и понимаю , что они реально опередили время. "Перелистал" их альбомы , практически все вещи суперовые. Очень жаль , что Косова погубили наркотики , а без него и его суперигры группа не могла существовать. Карьера этой банды должна была быть очень долгой и успешной. Очень жаль...
Great voice 😊
Happy New year to all Free fans & Paul & Simon.
The Jimmy Page?
Free was one of Lynyrd Skynyrds biggest inspirations, I never knew they ruled so fuckin hard
This one of my most favorite tracks by Free. Mind you, there has never been anything else but favorite tracks from this band!
First concert. Free. Edin. Lucky to have seen them. Unique band. Great singer. Great drums. Great bass. And Koss on gtr. It doesn't get any btr. Huge influence on me. Thanks Free. I wish yould lasted a lot longer. 🎸
The period master lol
great band but the bass player , very original ! a great musician !
I was 15 when Free was in their heyday. Listened to them on a juke box in a little soda shop in the Miami Lakes shopping center we would ride our bicycles up there from Hialeah. There was a electrical shed behind the center that was never locked. My friend and I would talk some of the local honeys to go back there and make out. Ahh the good old days. Brings back great memories.
Great dynamics really make this special!
I’ve heard how spare the band’s music was. But the depth of sound from just four musicians is astonishing. It’s rich and nuanced and seems like they have more band members than they actually do.
It's called talent.
I like this song!
from Japan
Hell yeah Rock It! ❤❤❤❤
They got that Detroit Grit Legendary. Like the ZZ Top.
reminds me of Bad Company. This band is good i just dont understand why ive never heard of them. I have heard their song alright now but i never knew who sang it until a few minutes ago 'Free' . Im glad i found them.
Paul Rodgers....love that man forever.
Kossof full respect to you fella best rock with feeling ever
adored this band since i was 12 am now 63 ad for me theres no tighter 4 piece than these guys ❤
I think , & this is just me , if in the time you looked under the radar there were so many "great" bands , now underestimated , but we enjoyed them & they shaped the future , & left a past. Bless them all. X
when a band plays like this, the audience should be just overwhelmed
standing on their feet, dancing, not looking like crazy dummies
christ when can you hear such deep deep soul take it in breath it in, know that your lucky to have been there, lucky as hell
Theyre brits... lol
As already said: UK, 1970s.
That was an enthusiastic audience!
You should see them when they don't like you.
Well, pretty much the same actually. lol
Modern UK audiences are more annimated.
Better than the Stones in their day.
Everyone was better than the stones. They're so overrated
far better 👏👏👏
Obviously.
@John Tyler thank you for acknowledging that they were better than the stones...thought I was the only 1 crazy enough to think that way...AND THEY WERE ALL UNDER 21 WHEN ALL OF THEIR BIGGEST HITS WERE WRITTEN
I agree all the way.
This is music man!! 😍😍
Better than Zep, Cream. No Bullshit with these guys, just groove and soul. No ten min solos, overdubs, external session musicians, just heart.
But without Cream there wouldn’t have been Free nor Zep
Id have sold my soul to have been that microphone Paul is cavorting with...shivers...melt
There's nee doubt about it ; they were a fantastic band especially Rodgers 4 a front man ,a thought they went on the teeny boppers trail when as young boy but listening now it doesn't really matter ! Shame about the lad kossof that checked out as a very young fella but Paul Rodgers was a real lad of integrity and he kept his feet on the floor : am sure some1 could say I'm talking shit but he was a really grounded lad from the boro that niva let the super-stardom feel take owt from his own roots ! Great 👍 the real free were as well!
🌴🎸🎶🥁🎸🎶🎤💃🕺🥂😎👌🥁🌴
🌴FREE IS STILL THE REAL DEAL 🌴
PAUL you had it then, still have it now, music sublime best played loud and louder, the audience can't feel the power...
Ducking love that , from a screaming lead lick dialed way back to gentle subtlety. Beautiful tone. Shame the lyrics haven't aged well am I alone in that ?
Lyrics are fine, its the human race that's aged badly, imho.
I loved them back then and stildo give me the seventies back again PLEASE 😎
If I had to have a desert island disc...or CD. It would be the whole the whole of this set.... total perfection
If your cell were working you could find those songs on Spotify, on the album ‘Hit the ground running’ (2020)
I love me some Free 💕
When Free sang the blues they were unmatched❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank God for Granada producing this classic
Freaking groove man!
The thing I call rock and roll!
本当に才能の塊のような四人でしたね🎵
I talk about them all the time - even if it's only to myself! Free were the best, just brilliant...blazed a trail for Bad Company but the original remains the best.
Wow Rogers voice!
