What does Paul Rodgers, now 71, do to keep so young? Without a doubt one of the best voices in rock. I'm 64 and was a teenager when Free were at their prime .
50 years ago Free did this.Paul sounds as good or better now.Free, Bad Company, on and on..Blessed with the best rock voice ever..Maybe if Ian Gilliam hadn't tricked up his voice.But Paul does the same Octaves..EXACT..Love and a PEACEFUL 🌎!!
That’s cool at the end when the band momentarily fades and Paul holds the mic around the diaphragm and belts it out. You young uns take note of this singer.
After almost 50 years since the song first came out, the voice of Paul Rogers hasn't wavered one bit. The man and his music is timeless! FREE is barely appreciated NOW for ALL the music it made LONG ago.
I modelled my voice on this guy at the age of 14. I'm still trying! Now 71 and playing live gigs, I praise Paul Rgers as one of the gretest rock voices of all time.
What a prophet Paul Rodgers is in life! I am in my 60s. Whether it was the Vietnam Conflict (that is correct - our sleazy politicians did not declare war denied those who survived benefits), heroin addiction, fentanyl addiction, homelessness, abusive taxes to the non-rich, divorce and love - GLOBALLY. The "yeah me f-you attitude is so toxic. What do all people need and want - "love and a peaceful world". Thant you Paul and Free Spirit.
I got goosebumps and tears in my eyes and that is not often these days. First time i listen to this live version, always loved the song and always loved his voice, but as it said down below in the comments oh God that man can sing
I have never seen an aged singer nail it like that and sound just as good as he did when he was a kid. I can't name another singer from that era that sounds as good now as he/she did back then, but Paul Rodgers does it somehow. (edit) 2:35 Holy guacamole, that' some singing.
I’ve loved Rogers voice, but I have to say Lou Graham has the voice over Steve Perry and Rogers, which is saying a lot, since they’re all considered some of the best voices of all time!
Always had and still has the best voice in rock ! What a performance by everyone ! As medical issues force me to accept my mortality musical memories stir emotions ! Cried the whole way thru ! Not sad just happy to have had music like this thru my youth. Keep on rocking !😎👍
This brings tears to my eyes....such a wonderful memory for me. I loved Free. You never expect the live performance to be as good as the studio one, but this was fantastic.
A friend of mine in childhood was playing with his dad's gun... didn't think it was loaded... it was. This song always makes me think Of Ron Ailles. RIP brother, you went way too young. Still miss your smilin' face. I hope your family learned to deal with it better in time. It was not their fault.
Followed the great man since the 70's loved everything, inspirational.Really nailed it with FREE SPIRIT capturing original free sound including Koss like guitar . AWESOME !!!👍👍👍
I remember being in a bar in Thailand it was 2 in the morning the Beatles were on the t.v this guy was saying how good they were . He came up to me preaching about them I said really he asked me don't you agree my reply they were good but my choice free Bad company or just mr Roger's job done .
i saw this band before paul took over. they started out in the roman bath in york. the original vocalist was on ken bruce's pop master, recently. he had health problems so he had to stop gigging. fantastic fella. wouldn't harm a fly.
There are hundreds of lead singers from top bands from this era who are wondering how Paul Rodgers has kept that voice of his all these years. Remarkable!
This was simply magnificent!! I only just discovered this song in the last few weeks, and I loved it instantly- to think I could have gone a lifetime and not known it!
Awesome. Remember it well. Still in our band's set list today. Amazing voice. In E minor to start but half way through changes key and goes up 5 semi tones which is half an octave to A minor - (E to F); (F to F//); (F// to G); (G to G//); (G// to A); and Paul Rodgers effortlessly nails it because it demonstrates his amazing vocal range. Wonderful.
Paul has been drinking from the fountain of eternal youth , (guiness) and showing everybody including the Jaggers, the Bono's , the Daltrey's and hell.....everybody else how to sing .
Its all my humble opinion of course, but for my money this is the finest R&R front man of all time. Forget about your Mick Jaggers, your Roger Daltrys and your Bon Scotts.

Wonderful soulful voice. And he still has it,hasn’t lost it. Aren’t we lucky to still enjoy him!
Paul Rodgers is the best rock singer ever, period.
Best Rock singer ever. Nobody does it better !
Paul Rodgers is the best lead singer of any rock band by a million miles
He's stunning, but no Ian Gillan.
Ive seen both of them live and believe me , it's not even close. Ian Gillan is a screamer, whilst Paul Rodgers is a singer.
@@tomedwards1879 Nah. Gillan has a great range. The screams were just dynamics that were the icing on the cake.
@@grobbler1well ive seen them both live. Im telling you Gillan is not in the same league. Not even close
@@tomedwards1879 Nah.
God, that man can sing. Sounds as good as he did in 1970.
Saw him 4 years ago at DTE in Clarkston and I'm wowed
Better!!!! I seen FREE at the Syndrome when I was a junior in high school.
Bad ass song love bad company Do.To.Do.
Why is this guy not in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame!?!?!?
Because the RRHOF is stupid
Because he's not good enough
What does Paul Rodgers, now 71, do to keep so young?
Without a doubt one of the best voices in rock.
I'm 64 and was a teenager when Free were at their prime .
Inspiration.
66 here. I think Paul Rodgers has the best voice in all of R&R!!
@@lynnbaker9264 I’d give that to Roger Daltrey or Chris Cornell, but Paul is phenomenal no doubt about that!
@@allbottledup9513WHAT ABOUT ROBERT PLANT, YOU CAN'T BE THE FRONTMAN FOR THE ZEPPELIN IF CAN'T SING. PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL MY FRIEND'S. 🙏✌️😎🏴
that's always been my opinion too!
My favorite underrated song ever.
i have to comment one more time beacause it is the best version of this great song i,ve heard so far.
Best Rock vocalist.
One of the best bands of my era. ❤️🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧
50 years ago Free did this.Paul sounds as good or better now.Free, Bad Company, on and on..Blessed with the best rock voice ever..Maybe if Ian Gilliam hadn't tricked up his voice.But Paul does the same Octaves..EXACT..Love and a PEACEFUL 🌎!!
The man has got some pipes.
Wow, what a voice, that's a real rock singer. Great song.
Paul Rodgers had it then and still has it now brilliant
Dude is “the rock singer’s rock singer” and consistently lives up to that honorific.
Yes the real "meant and potatoes" type. No one quite as good.
One star who actually looks as though he is enjoying himself
I've been listening to Paul Rodgers since I was in high school and he was with Free! awesome voice, AWESOME!
That’s cool at the end when the band momentarily fades and Paul holds the mic around the diaphragm and belts it out. You young uns take note of this singer.
Sometimes, I just forget to breathe when I hear his voice.
" He's in a league all in his own.."👍❤💯💥💢🤟🙏💪
This is a man who has looked after himself, so to see. Thus the voice also. Fabulous voice!!! Fabulous. Took me 40 years back.
After almost 50 years since the song first came out, the voice of Paul Rogers hasn't wavered one bit. The man and his music is timeless! FREE is barely appreciated NOW for ALL the music it made LONG ago.
Paul Rodgers voice never ages. He seems like the type of guy you'd want to sit at the bar with and have a nice cold one and good conversation.
Paul masterclass of blues rock voice my hero sounds just as good today💗💗
I modelled my voice on this guy at the age of 14. I'm still trying! Now 71 and playing live gigs, I praise Paul Rgers as one of the gretest rock voices of all time.
Now that’s a live performance quality can’t beat old school rock

Jag håller med -- han är fantastisk!
Soooo bloody good, Free were such a great band and Paul still has the mojo.
A million miles ahead of any of today's crap

Tom Jones?
@@gary8306 Nah.
@@gary8306 no and no not then and not now never!
Walt you are so RIGHT ON!!!
An honourable mention to Fred Turner (Bachman Turner Overdrive.)
Tremenda canción. Inolvidable. Tremendo clásico. Vivirá por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
Damn these guys know how to put on a show. His voice sounds amazing. Damn!!
Yea the first time I was invited in to listen to the free album I felt boxed of
I love music and bad company band and wishing well. We all wish
Best rock singer that has ever walked this earth 🤘🤘🤘🤘
That voice 😍
I still love his voice to this day and bonus he looks bloody awesome
Rogers is a legend one of the all time greats
I’ve loved Rogers voice, but I have to say Lou Graham has the voice over Steve Perry and Rogers, which is saying a lot, since they’re all considered some of the best voices of all time!
@@greghunter5966 I don’t think any of those names are better than the others I think they are just different
Always had and still has the best voice in rock ! What a performance by everyone ! As medical issues force me to accept my mortality musical memories stir emotions ! Cried the whole way thru ! Not sad just happy to have had music like this thru my youth. Keep on rocking !😎👍
Amen! 🙏✨🕊️
There's no such thing as the best ever Karen
OMFG 🔥🔥🔥 Saw Bad Co 3 nights in a row in the 70’s. What a band! What a voice!! Paul still has it & then some 🎶🙏🏻🎶
Just the best
I used to wake up to this tune when I was 13 to do my paper round. I am now nearly 60.
Paul can sing anything and make it sound fantastic. What a voice he has! Love this guy.
I love Paul Rogers 🥰
Great set of pipes. X. ❤️.
One of the greatest rock anthems ever!
THE BEST. Almost fifty years on the road and still rockin"!
Rock solid for 50yrs plus
This brings tears to my eyes....such a wonderful memory for me. I loved Free. You never expect the live performance to be as good as the studio one, but this was fantastic.
brilliant, and he's 70 this year (Dec 2019)
A friend of mine in childhood was playing with his dad's gun... didn't think it was loaded... it was. This song always makes me think Of Ron Ailles. RIP brother, you went way too young. Still miss your smilin' face. I hope your family learned to deal with it better in time. It was not their fault.

He came up to me preaching about them I said really he asked me don't you agree my
reply they were good but my choice free Bad company or just mr Roger's job done .
Wow ! Still fabulous after all these years ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Takes me back to my high school days, when music was still good.
His voice is even better now than the 70s! Love him.
Rodgers was and still is a great rock vocalist, 1 of the all time greats, but i wud still put daltrey and plant ahead of him imo.
@@colingeddes2172 O.K.But you can't mix aplle and grape!!! Paul has special colour in his voice...R.I.P.!!!
@@ZUGI849 he isn’t dead wtf
He has more control over his vocal capacity now I prefer his voice back in the early days of free he was raw bluesy mean and ferocious at his peak
Best blue's Rock singer ever no question.
In my 20s listening to this devastated I missed the 70s.
Wow, that bit where everybody in the hall sings "love in a peaceful world" just gave me the chills.
Stunning
Paul the voice! Fvck he's still GOT IT!!!!
First record i bought back in 1970!
Paul Rodgers is absolutely amazing - he is doing the vocals of this track after almost 50 years as good or even better than in 1972....
Amen with respect to Robert plant this guy is on his level of soul God bless bad company and free
Wow....best performance since Paul Kossoff sadly had deceased......and FREE disbanded......GREAT !!!!!
Para mi criterio es una de las mejores bandas de rock cada vez que la escucho vibro vivo su música que me trae hermosos recuerdos de mi juventud
RONNIE VAN ZANT OF LYNYRD SKYNYRD ALWAYS SAID THAT PAUL RODGERS HAS THE BEST ROCK AND ROLL VOICE, COUSIN FIGEL
Paul Rodgers one of the best !!!!
Absolutely incredible.......pure class.
Love in a Peaceful World...
i saw this band before paul took over. they started out in the roman bath in york. the original vocalist was on ken bruce's pop master, recently. he had health problems so he had to stop gigging. fantastic fella. wouldn't harm a fly.
#1 rock vocalist ...
Free.....🎸great Band forever
That man can sing.
This is his finest performance ever. He is a god.
Get a grip Karen he's just a musician
Wonderful, modern performance of an ancient song.....FREE......but never forget Paul Kossoff....R.I.P
Still one of the best ever rock singers
Best lead vocalist ever
Fantastic singer!
My God he still has it, this is live guys. Are you kidding, Fantastic. ❤️🇬🇧❤
Damn I love his voice!❤
MY ALL TYM FAVORITE TUNE OF PAUL RODGERS
Love and a peaceful world Love this SONG
Rock Royalty right there.
Sounds better now than live than 30 years ago or on record !
Ummmm, no 🙄
30? Try 50
Never lost his voice
The essence of true rock n roll right there!
The best and a Boro lad to boot 👍
I saw this tour in Leicester, Paul used Deborah bonham band as backing, the bass player was incredible as was Paul , really great show
There are hundreds of lead singers from top bands from this era who are wondering how Paul Rodgers has kept that voice of his all these years. Remarkable!
i agree he sounds amazing
WHAT A VOICE !!!
We all sing with Paul's voice in our minds. He brings so much happiness. GOAT vocalist
This was simply magnificent!! I only just discovered this song in the last few weeks, and I loved it instantly- to think I could have gone a lifetime and not known it!
Awesome. Remember it well. Still in our band's set list today. Amazing voice. In E minor to start but half way through changes key and goes up 5 semi tones which is half an octave to A minor - (E to F); (F to F//); (F// to G); (G to G//); (G// to A); and Paul Rodgers effortlessly nails it because it demonstrates his amazing vocal range. Wonderful.
Paul has been drinking from the fountain of eternal youth , (guiness) and showing everybody including the Jaggers, the Bono's , the Daltrey's and hell.....everybody else how to sing .
Jonathan Pardoe Bono can’t sing
Its all my humble opinion of course, but for my money this is the finest R&R front man of all time. Forget about your Mick Jaggers, your Roger Daltrys and your Bon Scotts.
Очень хорош... А уж сколько лет радует... И пусть ещё... Дай ему Бог!
Awesome Concert!!!!!!!!!! The sound equipment.....DAMN!!!!
We must protect Paul at all costs. He is an international treasure.
Put him in a museum??
Wow, he can still sing really well!
Gotta love Paul Rogers
