It will never get old as long as us folks of the same age keep it in main stream. We were at a dance and the management had to come up and stop it, as he though his ceiling was coming down. Did we care not a bit having too much of a good time.
He does not wish to be. (per Eddie Trunk) "I don't think rock 'n' roll belongs in a museum." He's been asked multiple times & turned the question down every time. ua-cam.com/video/ce6lwhrKY8g/v-deo.html God bless Paul ...there'll never be another. A REAL rock treasure.
Those who have played that solo over the past 40 years will know, he didn't do the solo note for note as Paul Kossoff and with the correct vibrato.....It is an iconic signature solo that missed notes and added others.If you are going to play alongside the best singer in the world and who wrote the song,then at least play the solo exact,not a rough copy......Sorry to those with bad hearing....
@@chrissanders8362 i think your the one with bad hearing LOL, he plays the chords in a diff place to Kossof but it sounds the same with a bit of May's touch, the solo was pretty much note for note, ill give you the vibrato not being quite the same though, but every play has different vibrato in general.
Paul Rodgers is the greatest vocalist/ musician of my generation. I was born in 1961. Seen alot, liked and loved a lot. Paul just is simply the best ever
Brian May. Genius. Beautiful soul. Human jukebox. Carpenter. Physicist, Engineer. Love and admire this man. Oh, and songwriter! No human should have this much talent. So we stand in awe.
I saw Paul Rogers who was in Free at the Maryland, Glasgow in 1970. Thirty eight years later, my wife, son and I saw the Cosmos Rocks Queen tour at the O2 in London. This Rock anthem and Paul are living proof that old rockers never die, they just keep on rocking.
May is such a class act and fantastic musician. He pays homage to Paul Kossoff by rendering a beautiful performance without any embellishments. Who else cannot sit still while listening to this?
I once read that Ronnie VanZant admired the way Free and Paul Rodgers performed, Ronnie knew what he was talking about and he took it to the next level with L.S., R.I.P. all orginal L.S. FREE BIRDS!
In my opinion, songs like this made the Queen and Paul Rodgers collaboration worth it. I love Free and Bad Company. Queen did a great job with the Paul Rodgers stuff
There will only ever be one Koss, but hats off to Brian, he really nailed that solo absolutely 100% spot on. The tone, the vibrato and the phrasing were perfect, in fact close your eyes and it's as close to the original Koss as you're ever likely to get!
May I just say, Free was a band. Paul was the singer. They were a compendium. Singer, songwriters and musicians. Would the Beatles have been the same without Ringo and George? Please give praise to the collective genius. Paul is the star. He holds the mice and that’s a fact; but they were truly a band
Fast forward 200 years (if Earth's here), those looking at this will think: something v. special was happening with music from late 60's-70's. That makes us lucky to have been there...
Holy shit. This version is bonkers. More proof why Queen is the greatest of all-time. Add Freddie's favorite vocalist and you had something really really special.
As great as May and Rogers had always been...can't help to imagine what it would have sounded like with Freddie Mercury and Paul Kossoff doing "Alright Now". Must be a great jam in Heaven!!
I've played this in bands up & down years more times than had hot dinners. Set aside now from the original this the best version ever ,Mr May hits the spot.

I’m listening in 2024….this song will never be forgotten!!
50 yeard ago it was good, it's better now and IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW!
Me too! Love this forever!
Talk about stands the test of time, this is one of the iconic songs on my forever playlist!! ❤️🤙😀
❤🕊🙏

Paul Rodgers not being in the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame is a felony.
He does not wish to be. (per Eddie Trunk)
"I don't think rock 'n' roll belongs in a museum."
He's been asked multiple times & turned the question down every time.

God bless Paul ...there'll never be another. A REAL rock treasure.
Bad Company and Free too. Not just his solo stuff
Paul Rodgers is legend - one of the greatest in rock history.
Well, they can always do it posthumously ?
He didn't make Rick Beato's top R&R lead singer list either. It's ridiculous.
Paul Rodgers is one of the real great singers in Rock history.
But unfortunately one of the most notorious assholes and ego heads off stage
Absolutely he is. Very underrated. Still got it after all these years.
Ronnie Van Zant wished he could sing like Paul
THE greatest.
Agreed. He has a "tough" voice absolutely suited to hard rock!
Brian May nailed that solo. Totally did it justice.
Monsieur May fait parti des 5 meilleurs guitaristes de la planète 🌍 🎵🎵🎵🎸🎸🎸🇲🇨
De la historia @@christiangrozel2261
Incredible ❤
When cool wants to be real cool, it listens to Paul Rodgers.
How? How does he still sing that in the same key as he did all those years ago? Because Paul Rodgers is a TRUE LEGEND!!!
He is from a special generation... music nowadays is totally dead .
Brian Mays performance pretty spot on too🤗🤗
He's so good!
It was 14 years ago. But he can probably still do it.
Got it in one!
Not many guitarists can play all right now properly like kossoff did.. 🇬🇧brian may nails it!🎉
Paul Rodgers is one of the few rock singers that doesn't embarrass himself by trying to see what he isn't capable of. He rocks!
Paul Rodgers backed up by Queen.....That is the definition of Hardcore Rock n Roll.....Till The End Of Time.....
Perhaps the Best Cover ever of this Classic?
Helps having the original singer , you're right , they nailed it
May is an outstanding guitarist, he handles the solo faithfully, with respect and without undue fussy embellishment. an absolute joy
Shows how brilliant the Red Special is -- essentially Strat schematic, but with May's tweaks, sounds like a Gibson. Exceptional work.
It's hard to emulate Kossoff’s mastery of vibrato and sustain (originally done without stomp boxes or effects) but May’s solo comes very close 👏👏
Those who have played that solo over the past 40 years will know, he didn't do the solo note for note as Paul Kossoff and with the correct vibrato.....It is an iconic signature solo that missed notes and added others.If you are going to play alongside the best singer in the world and who wrote the song,then at least play the solo exact,not a rough copy......Sorry to those with bad hearing....
Brian loves it.
@@chrissanders8362 i think your the one with bad hearing LOL, he plays the chords in a diff place to Kossof but it sounds the same with a bit of May's touch, the solo was pretty much note for note, ill give you the vibrato not being quite the same though, but every play has different vibrato in general.
Still got the best rock voice of all time! Listening in 2024
The years sure haven't slowed this guy down. Probably one of the all-time great front men of rock.
Top 5 vocal
Actually, he's lucky to be alive. He's had two major strokes. He thought he would never even be able to speak again. But he recovered. Lucky guy!
Paul Rodgers is the greatest vocalist/ musician of my generation. I was born in 1961. Seen alot, liked and loved a lot. Paul just is simply the best ever
Now we can say that Queen had the two best rock n roll singers of all time.
And then there's Adam Lambert...😐
Thank you !!!!
And three if you include Roger Taylor - That guy was an incredible singer!
Brian May's guitar tone is worthy of Paul Kossoff! Of course Paul Rodger's voice is perfect , whether he's 25 or 65!
Paul Rodgers Is the one of the best singers ever
OMG who sings better than Paul Rogers so amazing after all these years, no one sings better than him. Love him.
Goosebumps. Brian May completely nailed it and Paul Rodgers just got better as he got older. Ah-mazing and so much fun to watch and listen to!!!
Brian May..plus paul Rodgers? Two of the very best at what they do..long live rock and roll
Paul Rodgers is like a fine wine. Still has the voice after all those years.
so doable too
Brian May. Genius. Beautiful soul. Human jukebox. Carpenter. Physicist, Engineer. Love and admire this man. Oh, and songwriter! No human should have this much talent. So we stand in awe.
That is the single most timeless song that was ever written.
I saw Paul Rogers who was in Free at the Maryland, Glasgow in 1970. Thirty eight years later, my wife, son and I saw the Cosmos Rocks Queen tour at the O2 in London. This Rock anthem and Paul are living proof that old rockers never die, they just keep on rocking.
May is such a class act and fantastic musician. He pays homage to Paul Kossoff by rendering a beautiful performance without any embellishments. Who else cannot sit still while listening to this?
It didn't sound like Brian May until the last signing off note, job very well done!?!
Absolutely! Very well written Larry P
Roger was on fire !!!!
Just seeing this for the first time right now. I think I need to lay down for awhile!
54 years later and it still Rocks!!!
Paul is the best front man ...
But not for queen. His voice is not right for most of their songs.
I once read that Ronnie VanZant admired the way Free and Paul Rodgers performed, Ronnie knew what he was talking about and he took it to the next level with L.S., R.I.P. all orginal L.S. FREE BIRDS!
In my opinion, songs like this made the Queen and Paul Rodgers collaboration worth it. I love Free and Bad Company. Queen did a great job with the Paul Rodgers stuff
Paul never pretended to be Freddie. He sang their songs differently in his own way but still kicked ass while doing it.
Agreed
Thank you Brian May for giving the solo the respect it deserves - Paul Kossoff would have appreciated it.
cluxseltoot note for note!
That was an awesome solo,,, agreed
cluxseltoot freakin nailed it to the wall, note for note.
What else would you expect from May ? He is one hell of a guitar player.
@@michaelmarshall1713 Yep - but he played it TO THE NOTE!!!! So VERY fooking CLASSY!!!!
Paul RODGERS - one of the greatest in rock history.
His voice was and still is HUGE...
THATS MAN ENOUGH FOR ALL WOMEN
This song will forever rock my world. So cool to hear Paul singing it with Queen.
Boys in public toilets rock your world
Totally agree 👍
Brian may just killed this guitar solo
Paul Rodgers a living Legend.
I so loved it when I heard that Freddie's fave singer was PAUL - and that Paul's fav singer was FREDDIE!!!
They are all living legends on that stage!!
@@hotpeppersrcool never knew that!!
There will only ever be one Koss, but hats off to Brian, he really nailed that solo absolutely 100% spot on. The tone, the vibrato and the phrasing were perfect, in fact close your eyes and it's as close to the original Koss as you're ever likely to get!
with the Red Special
Yeh spot on mate and what's was so special at the time was that Paul Kossoff had so much respect for Brian May.
agree completely blues great KOSS RIP
Paul Rodgers is one of thee best vocalists of all time…
I had NO idea he was the singer for Free back in 1970 when our high school was rocking out to this song. Talk about staying power!
Song never gets old and neither does he
Solo absolutely killed by Brian May - nothing showy, just full respect to Paul Kossoff.
Brian is a classy guy
The bass solo is the star of the show. Saw Free live in 1971
May I just say, Free was a band. Paul was the singer. They were a compendium. Singer, songwriters and musicians. Would the Beatles have been the same without Ringo and George? Please give praise to the collective genius. Paul is the star. He holds the mice and that’s a fact; but they were truly a band
my phone is Vibrating
4:05 Brilliant
Paul is Unbelievable & QUEEN blows us AWAY
That's one voice that's withstood the test of time.
Paul Rodgers....timeless !
Range pitch tone timber delivery pronunciation, all a 10!!! You cannot get any better than this man right here as a rock vocalist!!!
He was good to his voice and took care of it. That's how these people sound the same or better.
Brian May!! Ladies and Gentlemen! Man coulda done Kossoff ala May! But nope!!! Perfect Paul! Well done!
All I can say is that I wish I was there for this concert. Incredible
The 2 kids on their Dad’s shoulders high fiving at the end sums up how awesome this is.
still a hell of a tune
man brian is damn good!
An All-time classic!
Rogers voice is still great, Brian May is playing the rhythm and lead parts to All Right Now perfectly, spot on.
Paul Rodgers rocks! One of t best rock voices ever, please come to Ireland 🙏
paddy fullerton
Paul Rodgers defies the laws of time and gravity!
One iconic guitar player paying homage to another...and as for Paul....as ever simply outstanding!
One of the best voices in the business PERIOD!
Paul is a legend, just listen his vois, amaizing
Oh! Still a wonderful song but he is such amazing a singer and love him xxxxx
Gotta love how Brian May absolutely nails Paul Kossoff’s guitar solo here. Respect.
He didn’t nail it it it ok
Fast forward 200 years (if Earth's here), those looking at this will think: something v. special was happening with music from late 60's-70's. That makes us lucky to have been there...
These Queen+Paul Rodgers performances were at an incredibly high level. Fantastic. Thanks.
Whenever I listen to Paul Kossoff he I the best of the best
Amazing how some singers are so vocally blessed and make it look so easy.
Wow! May & Rodgers!!
Holy shit. This version is bonkers. More proof why Queen is the greatest of all-time. Add Freddie's favorite vocalist and you had something really really special.
you do something every day for 50 years, you're going to nail it. he's amazing, but what's amazing is to see the amount of passion he still put in it
oh love Pauls easiness on stage, and his humour 🙂
Paul utterly fantastic as always
I've always said it. He's the greatest singer we have.
Freddie would have loved the audience singing x
One of the greatest concerts in history, like ACDC River Plate Paul McCartney Back in the USSR in Red Square
Kudos to Brian for covering these great guitar solos. Class act.
As great as May and Rogers had always been...can't help to imagine what it would have sounded like with Freddie Mercury and Paul Kossoff doing "Alright Now". Must be a great jam in Heaven!!
Bluetooth in ear monitors. Far better than on stage speaker monitors.
The best in the business…EVER
Bloody hell. Paul Rodger’s , credit to you. Saw him in a little pub in Victoria, Australia. Hallam hotel.
One of my all time legends.
They say how does he do it after all these years? BECAUSE HE'S THE GOAT OF FRONT MEN!!!!!
1:13 Brian's face kills me 😂
Paul Rodgers is , to me , the greatest vocalist ever.
you are not wrong. he’s the king of the mountain.
Brian May's tribute to Paul Kosoff---and he was on point!!!
Roger fits so wonderful to Queen. His voice, well known from Free and Bad Company, is great. Good teamwork!
Paul Rogers is fantastic with QUEEN he is a great singer and knows how to work an audience, the best since Freddy by far
After all these years, still wonderful Mr Rodgers. X
I know both Paul Kossoff and Freddie had to be up there smiling down at them.
Best comment
I bet Paul Rodgers never thought he'd be singing that song to that many people back in the Free days,lol.
The original solo fits well with Brian's guitar style, no wonder he played it so well.
Why isnt there a billion views
That man can “sing the phone book”.
This is still my ringtone and will always be zxxxxxcc
I've played this in bands up & down years more times than had hot dinners. Set aside now from the original this the best version ever ,Mr May hits the spot.
Today's music can never come up to this standard.
Agreed
Best rock voice ever ?
the stars and Constellations celebrate this Event still today.
Can't believe it! He sounds like he did live 30 years ago. HAs a voice that lasts and is still strong.
Grew up listening to Free.Paul Rodgers is brilliant xx
we are not so separated, we can come together,
omg.. Paul Rodgers..can still kill it.. he’s voice is still amazing.. love it..
WOW! Felt like the 70's again. Best music in those days, miss it!
This is so magical just love them xxxx3😂😢🎉😅
A master singing a master playing a masterpiece
This is a celebration - the stars and Constellations this still today.
