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.

They were kids! I don't think any kid musician today can play with maturity like this. Free were absolutely one of the best bands of that era. INCREDIBLE !!!

[howardwalton]

Fraser putting on a clinic here. He serves the song and gives it a muscular rhythm, lays down a solid base for Kossoff to solo over, then unleashes the Jack Bruce- John Entwistle, type chops when it’s his turn to shine. And he’s like 18 here. Any aspiring bassist should see this video!

I don't have enough thumbs...
Andy Fraser was an unheralded master of the electric bass. I was lucky enough to see this band in their prime, yet I can never get enough of these TV spots. Thank you for posting this.

I've listened to this dozens (or maybe hundreds!) of times since 1970, and I still am amazed at the raw intensity, simplicity and pure brilliance of this band. I've never heard anything like it, and probably never will.

[chriscocks]

The quality of the recording, the camerawork, the sound is just sublime. Now 52 years old

How does anyone not like Paul Rodgers voice? It's Amazing!!

[django]

Paul Rodgers. Got to be one of the greatest rock and roll singers of all time.

[deborahrobertson]

Dear God, it just doesn't get any better than this.

[Asgulria]

This is incredibly awesome! Andy Fraser’s bass lines and Paul Kossoff’s vibrato. That’s insane. Who plays like this these days?

[seanbeach]

I literally decided that I HAD to try and learn bass guitar at 45 years old because of Andy on this performance!!!!

[barcham]

Paul Rodgers... the greatest blues rock singer of all time. It is WAY past time he and FREE and Bad Company were inducted into the hall of fame.

[stephenjames]

Andy Fraser was 17/18 when this was shot, and already a fabulous, soulful bassist.

[Jack-txve]

Taken me 37 years to appreciate how bloody good this is.

[miger]

..all teenagers when this was filmed. Absolutely amazing ! What a band they were...and what a singer Paul Rodgers was and still is!

[johnlittle]

4 geniuses. It is rare to get a group whose individual members are of equal talent. Free were one of those bands. Immortals.

[DustOne]

Soo much TONE! All of em, everything! That bass tone, that Marshall, that classic snare crack, his vocals.

[briankehew]

SO heartening yo see Andy receive the most comments here. He was truly gifted!!

[JF-kvgm]

So young, so brilliant. 4 musicians and their talent....nothing else was necessary. Stunning

[suzijames]

No gimmick needed here, just pure talent
