Jesus h that was and how a band should look and play like, ,, awesome 👌 ❤

I could watch and listen to this over and over. What a ‘real band'!! Paul Rodgers could make a nursery rhyme sound like the greatest rock song.

I went to their first gig at the Nag's Head Battersea, Sappho(Alexis Korner's daughter) said to me, come and see this band, they should be good.So we did.Her dad was there of course, he got the band together.Small venue, packed with people in the know, record execs and a few regulars.They wowed everyone, the rest is history.Great band.

The way they dressed, their stage presence, stripped down vibe, no frills. They were in my eyes the ultimate rock band, no pretense and bullshit just solid songs and strident musical performances.

Now that's how you sing and perform live, no tweaking, pure talent

[gaylecole]

Every time I try to concentrate on Koss’s masterful guitar playing, Frazier comes in hard on the bass, and his funky beat takes over every time. Oh, how I love these guys.

[davidhannaway]

Brilliant band, I'm 68 and still play their music

[ravenclaw]

What talent! Great guitar riffs and incredible bass lines topped by masterful vocals! The quality of this band is ineffable.

Saw Free at Randwick Racecourse, Sydney, in the 70's. They were on a bill with Deep Purple and Manfred Mann....they blew everyone away. Great band, best vocalist I've ever heard in live performance. Held the audience of 30, 000 to the point where they didn't want them to stop. Permanently etched as one of the best concerts I've ever attended.

The energy they produce on that clip could power a small town for a fortnight! No solo from Koss but look at his amended chord structure and the plaintive sound - masterful.

Wonderful to find a 'new' Free video after all these years.

[raymondmitchell]

Amazing, probably the most under rated and under appreciated Band every. Free should have been massive. So young and such talent. Fantastic clip, thank you.

[boulevardblueband]

I love Free and Paul Rogers. They basically personify rock with their mix of talent, material and rawness

[nigeinblack]

Occasionally YouTube algorithm brings up a gem 👍🏻

[deborahrobertson]

Live Free footage is so rare. My favourite band. Thank you so much! They had it all and were still only teenagers. A sort of alchemical miracle!

[susanfeldman-rmht]

I'm infactuated with Paul Rodgers he has such a unique voice A few years ago he suffered two strokes and for six months he couldn't talk thank God he's okay now a very blessed Man ❤

[ronaldelfleet]

Take me back to this era - I was so happy then - and the best music - in my opinion!!

[ArchieFatcackie]

Saw them twice back in ‘69 and ‘70 an outrageously great live band. Of all the bands back then I saw if I had a time machine it would be them I would go back to see.
As for Rodgers you can chuck them all at me Plant, Mercury any of them he’s the greatest singer and front man of them all.

Greatest blues'rock vocalist EVER Mr Paul Rodgers and the greatest blues'rock band EVER FREE with the brilliant bass playing of Andy fraser the rock solid drumming of Simon kirke and the genius of Paul kossoff on his Gibson Les Paul
