Few frontmen from the 60's and 70's have been able to maintain a stellar voice like Paul Rodgers. Free vintage late 60's and early 70's, followedby Bad Company. He also put Free back together to try and help his original guitarist regarding his out of control drug addiction. He's Al's a very classy person.
'Straight Shooter' (1975) was such an excellent album. Best known for "Feel Like Makin' Love", this is the song that gets my air guitar out every time!
The Single Greatest Rock Vocalist: Paul Rogers. Even his contemporaries bow down to the sensei. Ronnie Van Zant (RIP) was not only inspired by but also greatly respected Paul Rogers above all extant singers in the era. Don’t believe me? Go see this man in person. In any era. Paul Rogers never disappoints his fans. Ever. He breaks his balls at all times.
These guys are awesome. Saw them live in Phoenix back in the day. Solid band. One guitar is all you need when you a good. Well done Mick Ralphs. And Paul Rodgers is totally still the man.
Hey I just got to say I saw Bad Company for the first time at the hard rock casino in Florida 2018 what a great freaking show I loved it and all of the songs were amazing and the place was jumping they did several on core songs unbelievable how great Paul Roger's still sounds if anyone else gets the chance you should go and that's a fact
is it Mick ralphs on lead or the lookalike that toured with later Simon Kirke's lineup? I only ask because I saw BadCo w/o Ralphs and Paul Rodgers and the lead guitarist really resembled the Ralpher but it wasn't him. On;y original member on that tour was Simon Kirke who greased the name for years with different lineups. Still put out some good stuff but nothing like the original lineup. RIP Boz Burrell
My first glance was "He looks like James Honeyman-Scott", but I know that couldn't be. A friend of mine was the guitar tech for Mick Ralphs during the Robert Hart era, so I've still got a few picks and a pair of Simon's drumsticks around here somewhere. We got about five minutes with Mick, gave him a shirt for the company for whom I was working (Apogee Software), hoping it would show up on stage at some point. I never did see them with PR, but Robert Hart was a wonderful replacement who gave a wonderful performance with Mick, Simon, and Rick Wills. I did endure a few performances with the Brian Howe era, and, well ... wasn't my cup of tea at all.

indeed
Absolutely fantastic live !! Love Bad Co til the day I die !! I've been a fan since I was 14 I'm now 63 and still love them live !!
That voice! Still just as great in 2008 (and now 2021) as it was back in the seventies
In the 70's as a teen no matter what life threw at me. I always came home and put a Bad record on to make things right again.
Paul Rodgers, "The Most Soulful Rock Voice Ever".Never will be matched
'Straight Shooter' (1975) was such an excellent album. Best known for "Feel Like Makin' Love", this is the song that gets my air guitar out every time!
man i hate Feel like making love...every other song on that album kills!
My personal favorite Bad Company album is Desolation Angels!!!! I Luv Luv the song Crazy Circles.

The BEST.
cool memories
Great
get it boys
🎸🎸🎸🍺🍺🍺👏👏👏
one of my favorites. Is it me or are they playing this a tad too fast?
It's definitely a tag to fast no fretless bass ,no Boz,no Mick ,not sounding quite rigt
Saw this show in kc ks with Forener opening act was all original members of night ranger kick ass show
@felicer No, I dont think so. On one of lookingfar3 uploads, Paul Rodgers introduces the band, not sure which song though. Sorry
Deal With The Preacher
JP on this video
is that Mick Ralphs?
felicer-wuz that boz? ?
Dave 'Bucket' Cowell, played with Mick Ralphs on the '95 Bad Co. album 'Company Of Strangers'.
Yup
is it Mick ralphs on lead or the lookalike that toured with later Simon Kirke's lineup? I only ask because I saw BadCo w/o Ralphs and Paul Rodgers and the lead guitarist really resembled the Ralpher but it wasn't him. On;y original member on that tour was Simon Kirke who greased the name for years with different lineups. Still put out some good stuff but nothing like the original lineup. RIP Boz Burrell
that is not Ralphs.
nope. It's the lookalike. Just never saw any video of Rodgers in BadCo w/o Mick
My first glance was "He looks like James Honeyman-Scott", but I know that couldn't be.

the guitar looks like Peter Framptons ,the beast?
Where was this performance recorded at and who is the guitarist?
Mick Ralph's Founding member of Bad Company.
Not the original guitarist and bass player?
Bass player Boz Burell passed away in 2006. Guitarist Mick Ralphs suffered a stroke sometime in 2014 - 15.
I knew that wasn't Mick Ralphs as soon as he played the first note, seriously.
Love it Paul..but please call VanHalen and get the drummer sum real drums...lol
Nothing wring with him...
Dave Caldwell is better better live than mick rakfs
This lead is good, but seriously, he’s not even close to Mick.
