RIP the two members of Free
Paul Kossoff (September 14, 1950 - March 19, 1976), aged 25
Andy Fraser (July 3, 1952 - March 16, 2015), aged 62
You both will be remembered as legends.
Paul completely lost it when Jimi died September 1970..RIP to a true legend.
It's a disgrace that Nelly has over a billion views but Free have less than 200k. Young people these days don't know what good music is.
That is crazy ;just plain nuts.
Amen ❤
Они уроды😎
Free have less than 200k real, while nelly has over billion bots
Free -это монстры.
Они одни из наилучших.
Uk.kiev. мы их помним .....
Andy Fraser’s bass lines and his use of chords were really groundbreaking. He’s right up there with the best bassists of all time (IMHO).
He is incredible as he just swinging and enjoying himself.
Yes, and the tone from the Gibson E3 '' SG'' bass just awesome , shame it wasn't used more
Oh yeah.. and he plays that gibson e3 with such a great tone, wish it was a more popular instrument
@@jamesbaker9905 My old bass player had one of those and it played like butter. I am not a bass player, but I could play the hell out of that one!
@@ScottDaddyMac I have one, and a marshall stack 4 12 and 2 15 and Mr F was one of my bass heroes. Koss is why I have a Les Paul as well... Great basses and what a great sound!
I miss the way the world was at this time: just some people with talent blasting it raw through some amplifiers. No dancing, no laser shows, no auto tune, no backing tracks…just rare talent and people gathering to enjoy the experience.
Ok boomer.
Those weren't amplifiers. Those were Marshall 100s. (Oranges for decoration and color not withstanding)
Yes, but Paul Rodger’s has a 1 in a million voice. You can’t fake that.
@@chuckcribbs3398bingo.
Simon Kirke does minimalist drumming so well. There is a lot of feel to his drumming, and he is so INTO it.
That ladies and gentlemen is exactly why Free were my first favourite band, and still are....
I still perform "Oh I Wept". Such a great album. I saw them right after Paul Kossof left in San Diego. Terrible show. The new guitarist thought he was Hendrix, too much vibrato and no tasty licks. The keyboard player (Fraser I assume) got pissed because of technical problems and tipped his organ over screaming and cursing. I was really disappointed as I didn't know Kossoff had left. It isn't like today ehrn we all know every move the stars make.
@@5400bowenWhich year/tour was it? It must have been 1972 or 73. Fraser left in 1972. Kossoff didn't so much leave, but was too unwell/out of it to play for a lot of shows towards the end. For their final tour in Japan, Tetsu Yamauchi played bass, John 'Rabbit' Bundrick keyboards and Rodgers played lead guitar as well as singing. There are a few videos on RUclips ('Seven Angels', 'Heartbreaker', 'Unseen Love' and 'Honky Tonk Women').
@@portcullis5622 yes it was '72 in San Diego. They only did one tour in the US.
@@5400bowen I know they opened for Blind Faith in the USA and at one gig, Kossoff was unwell, so they just played a few songs round the piano as a 3 piece. That was the beginning of the end for Free.
@@portcullis5622 the show I saw was sad, as I said, I was very disappointed. That first album is still one of my favorites. I was 18. They were the headliners in SD.
No fancy lights...minimal audio resources...just pure talent
Paul Rodgers is one of the best rock singers ever
Paul Is The VOICE 🎤 Of Rock&Roll! Simply The Best!
One cool band. There is nothing like this today. Pure talent . That guitar bass is so cool. Kossoffs sound not yet able to be repeated by anyone I've heard since. Simon Kirke is a seriously underrated drummer! As for Paul Rodgers, well, don't all us fellas just wanna sing like him? He has got better too as he has aged. AWESOME!!!
Yes ! There’s a razor-sharp quality to Kirke’s snare drumming that was perfect for the hard rock of Free and Bad Co.
I’ve heard Rodgers talk about other bands he admires, and he always points out the drummer. He has a great sense of what a band needs as a whole, to create the complete sound he’s going for.
For a traditional four piece they push Zeppelin in talent, Fraser was 15? His playing and compositional talent kinda otherworldly
There are, but the bands are in thier 60s still playing 70s and 80s rock
Здравствуйте вам.Насчет звучания участников гитарных и ударных секций-вы правы бесспорно.А вот вокал...Пол здесь скорее не вокалист, в некотором роде исполнитель Рэпа в хард ключе.И это неплохо звучит!Он не использует возможности вокала в тех диапазонах,на что он способен,но тем не менее,звучит!
Good God!
The syncopation of Free live is like a finely crafted Swiss time piece--dead on the money. They are the standard bearer.
Andy fraser was a master on bass. Brilliant and very overlooked
I still to This day believe Paul Rodgers is the best voice in rock.. Ever
Agree With You 100%! Paul Is The Greatest Rock&Roll Singer! The VOICE Simply The Best#
Mick. From whom Paul learned the tricks of the trade.
@@jessewolf7649 Mick?
@@petejones879 You don't know about Mick...where have you been?
Yuuup. The absolute best!
I only discovered free about last year,omg this is the benchmark! Paul Rogers has the best voice of any rock band ever ,four mega talented blokes!
Paul Is The Voice Of Rock&Roll! Simply The Best!
He's perfect
Isn’t it soul shaking to discover truly great music? Glad you found them.
Congrats!!
Welcome! This is one of the most unappreciated bands….I am a fan for well over 50 years!
Andy Fraser was so gifted as a song writer and as a bass guitarist, so young too.
Paul Rogers is still doing his thing and sounds better than ever, a rare talent in a great band.
Yes indeed And the awesome tone of his gibson e3 bass , wow... I wish more players used it
Thanks for that info, I wasn't aware.
Nothing like this today!
The audience have no idea the greatness they are witnessing.
Or the opposite they were caught sideways lol
Yes, they did.
Thinking the same thing. Bunch of duds. You wouldn't have been able to keep me still. Free rocked!
This was a live TV performance and the audience were told to be quiet whilst they were recording, tough to do though.
live tv shows audiences consisted of
'british equity' family members & the chosen few....
the rabble and hooligans weren't permitted in those days....
that's why punk occurred....!!
read john lydon's book for further proof
At 1:39 one of the greatest bass players ever .
Sondra Dupree he was 17 years old here, formidable mature bass player.
Each one of them was years ahead of their time. Superb band. 50 years later this is still better than 99% of the trash that's masquerading as music these days.
@@bluejeansq And the rest were only about 20!!
Yes indeed, and the tone of the gibson e3 bass is awesome, wish more people played it
For doing a slide down a 10 yr old can do?
The music was so much better in the sixties and seventies. I was in high school from the late 60's thru the early seventies and everytime I'd turn on the radio in my father's car there would be a string of great songs. Today's music, if you can call it that, is a joke.
The greatest rock vocalist ever!And Andy Frase should always be mentioned when debating over the best bassists.
I think Andy Fraser was 17 on this. Joined Free at age 15, incredible..
such a beautiful raw sound! but it is not the instruments, amps and engineering only - it is this energy of these young "hippie" bands..
A real favorite. Fantastic bass playing by Andy Fraser, the amazing guitar of Paul Kossoff, the inimitable voice of Paul Rodgers, and always phenomenal drumming by Simon Kirke.
Simon Kirke is disgustingly underrated; especially in these comments...
That bass line is so freaking good!!!
The absolute best band.
I think he just aligned my chakras ❤
I’m going to buy a bass guitar today just to learn this song and never play anything else on it ever again. What a groove!
thats exactly what i did 20 years ago and still play along on my 6 string leaning on my shoulder like the old friend it is right now😉
Still rocking in 2021 never will there be another Paul Rodgers
Oh my god that voice
He was my teenage heartthrob lol. God I am old. Free bring back so many good memories of my younger years.
@Baz Bazdad Thanks. Frankie Miller also had a great voice. I loved his song 'I know why the sun don't shine'. I think Paul Kossoff also played on this track. Those were the days!.
Gill Frankie Miller and Free.........through in a bit of Dan McAfferty and I am in rock and roll heaven
Unrivaled to this day tight ship or what fuckin stunning
OMG THAT VOCAL/GUITAR/BASS/DRUM! They were just flat out amazing,period
This guy was the catalyst of every front man of every rock band for ever..too many every!
They all learned from Steve Marriott....the BEST ever!!!!
And what I mean by "they" is... Paul, Robert Plant,Roger D, Mike Harrison, oh, and Rod Stewart
Ronnie Van Zandt
Perfect mix of talented musicians . .still listen to them today.
I love Paul’s voice ! He’s soulful and makes it look so easy but we know it’s not.
Would’ve loved to see Free stay longer than they did. Brilliant musicians.
...really nicely constructed..Kossoff solo..melody..blues...and so seemingly effortlessly played.
The best band of their generation!! Killer😘🥳
Such a simple drumkit but a glorious sound. More talent in that band than most, and the best frontman ever.
I jsut had the privilege to sound mix the 2021 Free Convention and me and the the bands worked for an hour to get that vintage drum sound just right for the 2 x nights.
Simon Kirk goes with only one tom on top
You don’t need a rack of toms to groove! Bonham used one on top as did many of the greats.
Loved Free 50 years ago and I love 'em now.....
1st time of hearing this song and I'm 72 and have listened to Free since 1970 on and off. Great band .
RIP Paul Kossoff and Andy Fraser
Que descansen en paz pensar que me hize fans de Free a los 11 años de edad sobre todo de Andy Fraser cada vez que lo miro y escucho me siento muy feliz
😢
Amen
I suddenly needed to hear some live Free. This didn't disappoint.
Omg me too. Last night night I listened to Fire and Water after a long ass time. And now I'm on a Free Live spree
Same
If it gets any better than this, let me know, cause I haven't seen it.
@ Al Raymond, this is the REAL DEAL, and it won't get any better, so kick it up 2020🎼🎵😎🎼🎵😎🚬
Haha it doesn't
Class
Best band in the world
Best band that ever existed
There was only one FREE
never will there exist another
Like FREE
I have listened to FREE music
Every day for half a century
You can't improve on perfection
Couldn't agree more. I was a fanatic back in the day & played a lot of their material in various bands down the years..never sounded like this though. Fantastic band 👍
@@nearlysteviedan1275
Thank you for yr kind reply
Oh i was & still am a FREE nutcase!
I did manage to see them quite a few times & was at the Sunderland gig when they recorded most of it on albums
If yr English you'll know Sunderland is in the north of UK
Although i live out past the city of Newcastle, home of Brian Johnson of AC/DC, also Dire Straits singer Mark Knopfler
( his bro David was in my year at school) also Sting is another Newcastle lad, as was Eric Burdon & Chas Chandler & all the members of Lindisfarne
Cheryl Tweedy/Cole/ whatever too
Yes we have a knack of breeding good singers & musician up here!
Of course Paul Rodgers & David Coverdale were both from down the road in Darlington
I think its the freezing weather & harsh conditions plus the majority of us have Viking blood in our veins har har
Great bands all, still listen to Led Zepp, Floyd, Hawkwind, Purple, Thin Lizzy, Sabbath, Stones, The Who,
So many bands i was privileged to see live & it didnt cost the monthly mortgage either!
Ive still got most of my gig tickets going from 10 Shillings
To 15 bob then £2
I paid £5 to see Led Zepplin & thought it a fortune !
Ah well take care & rock on
🙋♀️🇬🇧
Fully agree with you !
Greetings from Germany ❤
Does this get any better, I am so happy to be young when Free were at their best, glad I am still here.
😍 Doesn't get any better and I'm still here, just 👍
There are some unmatched guitar solos with so much feeling and flavor and this is definitely one of them put it in the category with Cream badge solo and Eddie Money two tickets to Paradise that dude not only played the guitar he was the guitar
The most underrated rock guitar player ever!
Saw them in Coventry 1970 and Birmingham 1971; both brilliant shows.
Lucky you . .most underrated band ever.
Fantastic ! All Live ! Great Voice! Tight Band ! Rockin'
You remeber something about theses gigs? Setlist or someone recorded theses gigs too?
Love that man's voice
still one of the very best rock bands ever. in every way.
Koss had so much feeling in his playing .. it was part of him and it poured out of his being. Rip legend .
So loose, yet so tight. Notice that there aren’t any front monitors/fold backs (which meant they couldn’t hear each other clearly and were relying on the mains at the back of them to hear themselves). They were so confident and knew they were good. Paul Rodgers at the centre with his masterful Otis redding-like vocals. The thing I liked most about Free was that, while many of their contemporaries (Zep, Purple, Sabbath, etc) cranked the volume up to 11, Free just laid back; even their heavier songs grooved more than they rocked. Great band! Paul Rodgers is the best singer to hail from these shores, imo (with Freddie Mercury and Craig David close seconds, imo).
You were doing ok until you mentioned Craig David.
Great comment till the last sentence lol
Best way to do it, cranked. You can hear it in the bass tone, and everyone in the video can feel it lol
Santana...Remember travelling home to London from Cornwall on a coach in 1980, playing this on my portable cassette.
No headphones. No-one evrn shouting "turn that effing music orf!!". Can only say that coach must have been made up of some fine people!
I adored this. I was a 20yr old girl who loved a good guitar solo/rift. Still do.
I was coming home early from a family holiday to be with my boyfriend.....l always remember that time when l hear this 😉
Just great....funky,soul,blues...got it all covered...👍
Most people know Free from All Right Now, which is a good song, but it’s not even close to their best work, especially from a group that were so young. Their whole catalogue needs to be listened to, so many amazing songs
Sure, Mr Big is my favorite song
yup agree as good as all right now is i think fire and water song is better
Ashamed to say, did not pay a much attention to Free, until maybe 10 yrs ago, because of All right now. Always thought Badco was so much better. but, All right now is their worst song, great song compared to other bands, but Frees other song are masterpieces.
I agree . I love and listen to all their albums - What a range of songs . Every track brings its own emotions, and to think how young they were when they were written.I love every track, and could never get enough of Free . Best Rock band ever, best singer in rock music
Look at Paul Rodgers my God what a voice.❤
They're so comfortable in the groove and in the performance, amazing. When you're so good at your instruments, and so vibing the material that every touch of the strings is magic.
My favorite Band of all time !
So young and so brilliant!
Very damn underrated band! They were my favorites than and still they are! Incredible talents!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
underrated is the most overused word
All 4 of these guys were SO gorgeous..but their individual talents were nothing short of amazing! This band needs 2 be in the R&R HofF...hands down...
No, the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame needs them to be In it.
Yes! Some bands are not lookers, but Free is very pleasant to the eyes. And this is coming from a straight guy!
Purest music, can’t control yourself listening to this let ya body take control unreal
Just soooo good. Not been surpassed for raw young talent. Perfect synergy between all of them
They had it all and more!!
Unfortunately, what they didn't have was enough airplay.
Andy Frazer looks super cool in this vid too. Loved his laid back style, hats & waistcoat, face grimaces ( I'm sure he started doing grimaces b4 anyone else did them... while playing guitar I mean) cool
One of the best bands ever. They had it all. Best rhythm section, singer and guitarist!
Love his solo bit on Mr Big
Andy's bass playing on Mr. big is probably the best I've ever heard.
An interesting fact, that I think people usually don’t realize, is the number of famous bands in which the bassist is the “main” guy or one of the “main” guys in the group: McCartney (Beatles), Bruce (Cream), Sting (Police), Wilson (Beach Boys), Waters (Pink Floyd), Simons (Kiss), Lee (Rusn), Lane (Small Faces), Fraser (Free) !
@@johnsmith100 not Gene.
@@scottmcclure4153
Hell yes. Google it.
Wise beyond their young age
Andy Fraser was only 17 here!!!!
Love the Andy Fraser of FREE. He does not "slap" the bass nor does he play "fast"; yet he gives the song what it EXACTLY NEEDS!
By the way...what guitar pedals/amp/guitar settings
did Paul Kossoff use here? help us to get that tone...please Thanks!
Greatest rock and roll band EVER
Greatest Rock band.
I'm listening free almost time . all free songs are in my smartphone
best blues rock ever
Wow, this is great footage. Hard to believe how good the audio & video sounds. Those classic guitars & amps are worth a furtune these days
Andy Fraser. The unsung hero on many a Free song.
Kids, thats what guitars used to sound like, you know, like guitars!😀
112k views. Ridiculous. You'll never see anything better than this on youtube.
Fabulous Fabulous!!!!
The greatest live nd I have ever seen. Great on record, but unbelievable brilliant on stage.
Voice & bloody lush too! I was laughing before thinking about when I was around 17 & as mad on Free as I am Today but wanting to emulate my hero's I tried in every clothes shop in Christendom to get some pants like Paul Rogers wears in this vid
I had an identical top like his but not the strides so I bought off white canvass fabric, buttons & being an art student at the time found adapting a trouser
pattern no probs
I was the total envy of all my mates when I strutted into our youth club in my exact copy of Paul's strides & im female ! But I loved those guys so much, I lived breathed & survived on Free.
I don't have the pants anymore shame cos they were the biz but I reckon id still get into a similar pair. Might get my sewing machine out again!!!
This IS music!💚
yo- Holy shit - this is the coolest thing ever....anyone who disagree's is wrong.
I was 11 as I bought the LP. Ride on a pony was one of my favorites. 50 years ago....
f..k i love that gat solo- keep on returning to it every couple of months.
A sad end for a brilliant and talented guitarist! This song often drives me to tears for the way it is played , yet for the loss of Paul kossoff. Rest in peace🙏😰
Man Paul kossoffs tone in that solo is great
Damn how is this video quality so good??
Gearfacts BBC from the look of it. Disciplined audience too. No noise or thrown out. I would rather hear the band than some moron screeching.
Rodgers was unquestionably one of the greatest rock singers - someone line Robert Plant could surely only look on and envy. Kossoff a great guitarist, no question. And the true beating heart of this wonderful but still underrated band was Andy Fraser. Truly spectacular palying. Love this song.
My favorite band
Soulful 😊
This is the tastiest jam I've heard in a while. What a sound!
At 3:39, watch Simon Kirke’s left hand stick change from the tip to the butt end of the stick. Interesting!
Nice catch. Simon finesses thru the song with traditional grip, then flips the stick for some more pop at the crescendo to the finale. I enjoy his drumming
The BBC camera work is superb in this show. High quality, and they get good angles of the right players at the right time. Something painfully lacking in much footage of the 60's and 70's
The best band to ever come out of the Uk end.
You'll not find a better band,,they were the best around,,Paul still has great voice
Just to think they were only teenagers when they made this album.
I know, it's incredible
Stunning....and they wrote a lot of their own lyrics. Amazing.
What vision
Andy was 15 when he joined❤
Yes and what a band 🙏
Andy Fraser Uno De Los Mejores Bajista De La Historia Musical. RIP.
favourite bass player 👌🤘
Best band of all time in my eyes when you consider their age and how self destructive Koss became. Punched way above their age and experience from the amazing Tons of Sobs to the hotchpotch of Heartbreaker. The Live album is one of my favourite albums in my collection even though every song was slowed down for it.
Slowed down? Do you mean the tapes were played back to slowly?
How do you know?
And why did they do it?
All the guys in the band are great.getar player died young.one of the best ✝☮
Великая группа пол роджерс и музыканты гениальные петербург
Awesome band! R.ip Paul Kossoff
Highway is the single most underrated,under PROMOTED work ive ever known and ive been discovering a whooole bunch on you tube lately. Every doggone song would have sold millions idpf only they would have gone into radio rotation in US at both am and fm levels. Great lyrics simple guitar and percussion that accentuate just beautifully. The hills of the scots come out here
Aww, Andy Fraser looks so shy when the camera was on him looking over at the Paul’s. I hate the way these days the awful girl and boy bands wink and grin at the camera. These men (well kids really, 17, 18 year olds) just wanted to play and showcase their talent to us. RIP Paul and Andy, thanks for the good times
Paul Kossoff’s vibrato. OMG!
They were a bloody tight band!! Great performance by all of them
Mesmerizing .masterful. archetypical quartet. Love the rural imagery of " riding on a pony in the middle of the night". The kid from the mountain . Living "a hundred miles from town".
