  • Hearing Bad Company's Paul Rodgers for the first time really opened up my eyes, and I had to dig into more of his catalogue. And what better way than to start with Free?! I went with a live version simply because the last was just an album cover. Let's get to it!!!
    Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Free for the first time, performing "All Right Now”.

    The cool thing about this band is that when they recorded this, they were all under age 20. When Free formed, Andy Frazier (bass) was 15 years old. Paul Kossoff (guitarist) was 18, Paul Rodgers (singer) and Simone Kirke (drummer) were 19.
    Also, Paul Rodgers is one of the best voices in rock history.

      I saw him there too and I was conflicted. Generally I liked and I liked the combination, but they were right not to call him a replacement for Freddy. Rodgers doesn't have (or need!) the operatic clean voices and the reach of Freddy. His best moments were when they did a few Free and Bad Company songs. However much I enjoyed Queen and Paul Rodgers, I think Adam Lambert is a better fit for Queen.
      Which is saying nothing about Rodgers' quality. Just about the combination.

      "Asked if he is healthy now, Paul told KSHE 95: "Yeah, thank you. Thank God, really. But I do thank hyperbaric [oxygen therapy] as well, which is the treatment you can get. You just sit in there, oxygen under pressure. The only thing you feel is a little bit in your ears; it's like flying on a little puddle jumper airplane. But that's all. And then you just watch a movie for an hour and you're done. You breathe in and [the oxygen] recirculates through your brain and it's very good. It took a year and a half to get my voice back after all that stroke."

Paul Rogers was magnificent, and especially Paul Kossof's vibrato on the Les Paul Gibson guitar blew me away. The band performed all original numbers, and nothing was faster than a walking speed. Free have been one of my favourite bands this last almost sixty years, and Paul Kossof is a legend. In the seventies, all the great rock and roll bands around the world from the Beatles to the Stones and every band in between took a poll to see who they thought was the greatest rock singer, and it turned out that Paul Rogers was every bands favourite singer.

      Kossoff’s vibrato makes me cry. It seems to be a missing art in guitar today.

  • @TSM-908
    @TSM-908 День тому +4

    Guitarist Paul Kossoff was one of the best players in the world. He was once asked by Eric Clapton how he created his guitar vibrato, Paul didn’t answer and thought that Eric Clapton (is God) was trying to belittle him. Sadly Paul was taken from use by drug addiction and we all wonder what would have been. However Paul Rodgers’ voice has mellowed and got better and better over his career. One last fact in the video the bass play Andy Fraser was only 15/16 at the time of this TV show recording. I’m 68 and they are the soundtrack to my teenage years.

    Elizabeth, Take a listen to Fire & Water from "Free" in 1970 - live performance, great song. You can see Paul in his earlier years. Same fantastic voice, and excellent guitar tone from Paul Kossoff. Andy Fraser, the bassist was literally 16-17 yrs old. crazy

    Seagull and Silver, Blue and Gold from Bad Company are his best! Soft and beautiful songs. If you like Paul's early stop/vocal cutoff in this song, in Silver Blue and Gold's chorus' eponymous line, the "Blue" is this cutoff that eluded my terrible but joyous attempts to sing along.

    Paul Rodgers is a rock god. I had the pleasure of seeing him about 13 years ago in a very small venue, and even in his 60's, he still had amazing stage presence and absolutely crushed it. You might also want to check out "The Firm" a one-off collaboration he did with Jimmy Page in the late 80's.

This is one of my favorite rock songs of all time. Andy Frazier was 16 years old when he cowrote this song. Amazing. Thanks for doing this. Loved it.

    Elizabeth, so glad you selected this one. I've always loved this song, and the groove is so totally emblematic of late 60s and early 70s rock. I heard this the first time on a boom box on the school bus going to 7th grade, and I was hooked - took guitar lessons, found friends who played, formed bands and rocked my way through high school and college - even after 40 years, this song does it for me - it's quintessential real playing from the day. Always makes me tap my feet, and usually, grab my Les Paul and join in! Thank you - great review, as usual!

Anyway, the difficulty rating on all the instruments is pretty low, but the vocal track is the highest in the game because of how expressive and all over the place his voice is. So much fun to sing along with.

Please react to “Mr. Big” from the same show and “Fire And Water” live is killer fantastic Paul Rodgers singing and Kossoff going off on the guitar. Kossoff was never the fast guitarist but he made it up with his insane vibrato and incredible feeling.
