[slider876]

amazingvocalist .what a tune

[fulton205]

a mystery that you would make a comment like that how old are you 12

[sander151187]

Kosoff kill the song without playing 1 note too many!

[suckling]

Probably the greatest Rock voice ever. What a band Free were, they had everything to Fraser amazing bass lines, Kirkes awesome drumming and Kossoff...well i don't think there is a word in the english dictionary that can describe his talent, he was just that good in my opinion.

[dwainagain]

I'm straight, very straight, and when I look at this video even I wanna have Paul Rodgers' baby

[PurpleMelonMusic]

wow great band and vid! If you like this you may like us, we're a 70's classic rock band from london living in LA! check us out and let us know what you think!

[radiosandclocks]

knowing john mellonhead made it into the hall of fame before Paul Rodgers makes me fucking sick! Jann Wenner and the rest of the board at the HOF have their heads completely up their fucking asses!!!!!

[peterson719]

im a gangster

[SmashlytheBassGod]

Good for you.

[GALLILAO]

i was at this as well right in the middle towards the front how things where diffrent then live was nothing but fun and games was 20 and life was a bll now moving towards 60 and still dream of theses days of no worries or cares and just getting out your head and haveing fun

[dmt0671]

These are some of England's best.

[radiosandclocks]

No doubt! Same as badco.

[verrosie1]

Great video...thanks for that bill brings me back in time to my day...love ronnie

[Srylklr]

Here they performed in front of many people, but they couldn't get more than 50 to 75 to attend their free show at my high school. I was one of the attendees.ALL RIGHT NOW.................FREE

[tonitaffy]

That would be a crime of ignorance on the part of those foolish enough to pass up on something like that. I wouldn't miss a chance to see Paul Rogers...anywhere...anytime...­ever...

[rosesredvioletsblue]

Wonderful video footage!  Excellent! ty.

[renegademax]

One of the greatest rock songs ever written!

[readyjava]

gotta love that PAF

just sings

:)

[Gerardpb2]

It's a copy of Highway to hell!!! xD

[oicsaywhat]

this is way before Highway to hell you got it all wrong, but both are great songs

[skowis3]

Free bends AC/DC over and humps them into submission in every song.

[guajinho]

Kossoff and Rodgers are awesome!!

[sexdrugsnmaximilian]

free is so good live

the guitar is sooo sweet

check out my cover of the solo on my youtube homepage!

[Amhlair]

And the guitar player is 19 in this video.

[quercus1959]

Indeed he was almost 20, Andy Fraser (bass) was just 18.

[rattailfilms]

this song changed how bands played... no one was doing what free was doing..... i remember hearing this song, i was 14, and in a band........... we all played this song... lol, marshall stacks, and standing right in front of them... musta been loud....

[LifeJuice90]

Yeah that was Hard Rock when Hard Rock wasnt around. I wish people would quit saying Sabbath was the beginning. Sabbath was good but it was just low tuned hippy music with dark undertones. Free was HARD ROCK.

[JohnnyangelNIU]

Sabbath didn't start the heavy metal sound but they capitilized on it, along with Purple and Zeppelin (at least from the UK). Free was basically a rock band with a few heavy rock songs..

[maximum1954]

I have no fucking idea what you all are talking about with hippies & peace and all that shit, but this LIVE version of ALL RIGHT NOW fucking ROCKS. Hippies basically suck, but listen and watch the god damn video. The band, Free is playing great. It's a one in a million performance.

[sludgefingers]

Go on Koss me lad! And RIP.

[iandv1]

I remember in the 70´s wanting to look like Paul Rodgers,play Guitar like kossoff,drum like Simon and be a cool Bass player like Andy Fraser.Wow what agroup the greatest Rock single in the History of Rock.

[jinkysmith]

Paul Kossoff feckin awesome.

[ironman5454]

BTW - no offense intended to anyone with epilepsy. I know its no picnic and probably should have choose my words better. I just get a laugh how the :Nightly News" would catch a kid here or there all spaced out & painted up and this is what everyone these days thinks we were all about back then. Listen to the lyrics - whats the song about ?? Same ol' song - gettin' a little. By and large, thats what it was all about. We don't need no stinkin' hippies ! BTW, I showered daily LOL !!

[mistabiggz16]

Ironman noone gives a shit about you stop wasting comment space fucking prick

[ironman5454]

mistabiggz - great nic, probably 5'1" and hung like a gnat. STFUAD assh*ole. "Mistabiggz" - ohhh...I'm so scared...what a friggin' dickhead.

Try Extendz, maybe you'll feel better dwarf.

[ironman5454]

Hippies my a** !! Ya know the videos you see of the kids with flowers painted on their faces dancing around like an epileptic on crack ??

WE laughed at 'em too !! Rock stars got laid alot. We wanted to get laid alt - so, we dressed to look like rock stars. We were by and large - hypocrites !

No dude I knew went around preaching "peace & love" except when the babe you were with wanted to talk about it. Guys hangin' with guys ? Never talked about it - didn't give a rats a**. "Hippies" - where ?LOL

[jennyschofield]

The best rock song in the WORLD......

[nuclearthunder50]

brian may made him shave the neaderthal beard.

[spatty5]

Jason Lee based his on stage performance in Almost famous on Paul Rodgers. You can see the similarity in this performance.

[teleroylichtenstein]

great rock band, great voice, awesome performance...

[robharding1957]

awesome blues rock band, and some vocalist in paul rodgers,best of british or what,

[kateypie1]

i fancy him! awesome performance, surely one of the finest bands ever... i agree oompaul2 hip hop is shite, if only we had bands as good live as free were!!

[oompaul2]

this song has stood the test of time nearly 40 years. and now on itunes and cd etc still selling after 40 years beat that . hip hop rap nonsense crap...

[jhnstn1]

Do todays hippies smell just as bad?

:>)

[maximum1954]

They smell worse these days because they are knock offs. Many bands in the late 60's & early 70's were NOT trying to be hippies they were just doing what was going on at the time. The only asshole hippies, not good ones, were in San Francisco. That's why George Harrison came back from San Fran saying, "boys, there's no reason to go to San Fran, their all dead beats". All the good bands moved on. It was ALL about the music.

[dieneshugi]

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[ErnieBallPlayer23]

one of my favorites!

[dawkeye1]

This song rocks!!!

[mygroovylespaul]

haha hippies.

Very cool though.

[Midnighttoker70]

38 years later and this song still kicks ass.

[ewp805]

Lol sweet jesus! Look at Paul Rodgers! What a beard.

[KirkDup]

sound like AC/DC

[diy2008]

No, AC/DC sound like Free.

[No1barney1]

Anybody agree that when we guys had long hair & beards there was a lot less aggression in males?

[44eelz]

what about the vikings?

[No1barney1]

lol.

yeah, except those vikings!

cheers :)

[didz83]

even the hells angels had long hair back then, football hooligans too, i think maybe people were more laid back but there was still plenty of violence.

[No1barney1]

Very true didz. 'twas but a thought. I know that in my fairly wide circle in the late 60's & through the 70's none of us was turned on by violence but your point's valid all the same.

I was alluding to the aggression as opposed to violence. I've seen middle-aged/older respectable types (male & female) veins bursting out of their necks, making hand gestures while driving for example. And the general underlying prickliness in every day life. One for the sociologists perhaps.

Peace :-)

[didz83]

I'd go along with that, i think maybe people are more stressed, more aggressive and generally less sociable nowadays. People have less time for others. It's dog eat dog and even if you win the rat race you're still a low down dirty rat!

[ironman5454]

Pot back then was very mellow - its like 20x as potent now and doesn't lead to the same relaxed state so I'm told. Smokin a joint back then tended to take the edge off male aggressive tendencies - the"free love" ? But don't get caught messin with someones ol' lady !!. Fights always killed the "vibe" and the ladies didn't like fighting - the 60's line "I'm a lover not a fighter". If you wanted to be "in" with the chicks you had to condemn violence LOL !! Thats just the way it was...rock on !!

[straburyred]

ironman5454, you hit nail on the head man, thats the way it was back then, we ladies remember, oh those were the good ol days!

[ironman5454]

Nah, it was the weed more than anything. The long hair was just because chicks dug it. Had hair down to my a** and never understood why chicks liked it (?). Here in the US of A at least we still fought at the drop of a hat when drinking. Much of that "free love" was a bunch of SH*T and just a way to get laid - hate to say it but its true. Males back then, on the whole, were still very sexist and could be very violent compared to todays kids (except inner cityy/ghetto). "Booze & ladies...'69 !!"

[No1barney1]

yeah.

It was great fun tho ironman

:-))

[ironman5454]

Agreed !! LOL !!

[No1barney1]

rock 'n' roll at its very best.

[sludgefingers]

Funky as F^^^!

[nightwing231]

Kossoff was such an great guitarist but he sure was an ugly bastard lol

[dantes1815]

It's not nice to talk about the deceased like that.

[PAULLONDEN]

Song ends....Crowd wakes up ☺

They were probably awe struck.

Mesmerising performance ♫

[xtownshend]

great sound coming from that amp!

[70sMusicFanatic]

Gotta remember one thing that says it all - these guys were like 20 years old when they played Isle of Wight - sounding like veterans. Awesome.

Is is really so bad nowadays that groups can't create nor perform with this kind of ability? Somebody please invent a time machine so we can go back and see great music performed by great bands like this.

[wtw88]

I'm a singer?/songwriter, aged 59, and I hang with a lot of young people who are damned good musicians, mostly punk, punk/rock, blues and metal.

There's still an incredible amount of talent out there but the suits are promoting inane stuff they can pack and wrap so that little kids and girls at the young end of their teenage years will buy it.

It's like there was a revolution going on in the '60s & '70s and if you get into the indie scene some of the freedom's coming back.

[anto89Prato]

all right now.....!!!!

[kingofthedeep]

Those drums,guitar,bass and vox. Nothing but praise.

[PatentAppliedFor]

I love Free !! But you gotta look at these guys'eyes, they're all doped or drunk..Rodgers definitely, pure Rock 'n' Roll in a sense. Kirke reminds me of Animal, the drummer from the Muppets.

[kingofthedeep]

Shut it, they are rocking, buzzed or not.

[PatentAppliedFor]

Just comments man, notice my opening line? No need to be harsh. Also I said Pure Rock'n'Roll and meant it.

[captainrock2002]

Ha, I agree with you! But it was the 70's, did any of the biggest rock bands ever play entirely sober?! Stones? Nope. The Who? Nope. Zep? Hell no!

Koss is the man, shame he had to die so young!

[maximum1954]

Patent Apply for a brain. Again you tell your age by your comments. You have been brainwashed into anybody looking a bit different meant they were doped or drunk. BULLSHIT. Not everything is the way your stupid teacher and parents tell you. Jesus was drunk. Drinking has been going on forever and people like you are not going to stop it and I hope to god you don't try. LISTEN TO THE FUCKING MUSIC, for a change. It was a GREAT performance whether they drank or not, it ROCKS.

[maida1982a]

No gimmicks, just solid playing, singing and writing. Again, no gimmicks.

[g0ldbuG]

hell yeah, y0, thats all u need

[DAVWAVE]

This may seem off the subject, but when you said no gimmicks, I thought of seeing Grand Funk Railroad live in 1972 or 73 in Waterloo, Iowa. No Gimmicks at all. Three guys, pouring out their hearts with guitars, drums and perhaps and organ. There were other bands I could mention that I saw, but they were as no gimmack as you could get.

[efcbarca]

Bring Back Crowd Singing...

Stand up and be Counted.!

[lamppostpizza]

lol the drummer alwasy reminds me of the hobbits in lord of the rings for some reason.

[MARKANDBARBARA]

Wish I could find my the crowd. I was in about the 6th row from stage. Think we all look a bit different then we did in 1970! What a concert that was. way different days. I spent almost 4 months in Europe spending under 1k. including plane. I will never forget, and my ears never recovered :-)

[g0ldbuG]

sweet trip, man. tell us more of your travels!

[gotears2listen]

Hee hee "heads" were always at bus stops I seem to remember, usually in greatcoat and plimsolls, and always always with bout 6 or 7 albums under their arms, proudly displaying who they into!! ( Roger Dean covers were the biz!) Ahh great days to be sure or was that dazzzzzzze.......

[aussiegoosebumps]

Ah yes, brings back memories of High School.When music was raw gutsy rock.Thanks for sharing this great music vid.

[hellohello66666]

fuck i envy you, being in high school when this fucking gold was being written, i salute you!

[pugie0601]

raw,unadulterated heavy rock,wow! 38 years ago,paul rodgers must be deaf as a stone by now,going by the lyrics and the production on the new queen single,its confirmed.alright now though is still the bollocks.

[DRSHRED77]

Just 3 words. RAW MARSHALL PLEXIS!

[brooshabab]

They're not just dumb - they're dangerous. "Paul has a beard,Angus has curly hair,Phil looks like Simon, Bon is clean-shaven..." Jesus H Christ, have you wankers ever considered listening to the music?

[brooshabab]

Who gives a fuck who looks like who? Get ya fucking heads examined, you fucking retards.

[kingofthedeep]

I agree. Fucking dumbass's

[phlac05]

sick

[burooo]

best live version ever......kicks ass

[Lefthandedwilliam]

He was only 21 years old on this

[cmackenzie4]

it dont get much better than this

[Heavyrockersglobal]

Its wierd coz both angus and paul arent stiff players and facial expressions are similar and paul rodgers and bon scott look very similar, before i even knew who AC/DC were properly i thought all right now was by AC/DC lol up until i was introduced to LET THERE BE ROCK ALBUM lol

[phlac05]

stuupid

[flyingsteve07]

WHOA!!! he does look like angus young

[Plantsoen103]

Great

[kingofthedeep]

Fuckin thumpin man. Bad ass all the way.

[AnthonyT50]

I remember hearing this song the first time in a head shop. I was blown away. I had never heard of Free but remembered the voice when Bad Company came on the scene.

[paisCatalunya]

Paul Kossoff incredible!

There, in that place, there are 600,000 thousand people??

[bgoc1263]

what else is there, this is what real rock and roll is. no imitations here. thank god for rnr.

[derbbus]

Free went on at about eleven sunday morning cos it ran late the previous night when they were meant to go on.

Hendrix was there as was the who ect.

Do a web search and your get the official line up.(or wikipedia)

[Smoothways]

makes me cry - no stereotype reproduction of some album - some live jam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Stilldrunk85]

This is rock n' roll!!!!

[Highland45]

Does anyone know the line-up of bands for this gig like who headlined it? Free must of been one of the first to go on because I own The Who's performance at this festival and they didn't go on until 2:00am.

[MrFloydPink]

yes :O))

[Highland45]

Thanks. I knew that The Who were last on the list 'cos I own the DVD; Greatly appreciate it!

[ravensmead]

...you can see where Angus got it from ...love Ax

[jerrej68]

I thought the same angus cloaned him, plus look at rogers then bon scott from 1977 on scary

[Highland45]

Only difference is that Paul Rodgers has a beard & Bon never had a beard & Angus' hair is more curly than Paul Kossoff's. You should take a good look a Simon then look at AC/DC's drummer from '74-83 & '94-today; Phil Rudd 'cos I've always said he looks a lot like Simon Kirke.

[Heavyrockersglobal]

Look at paul rodgers on bad company - rock and roll fantasy video, looks well like Bon scott lol

[Highland45]

I've seen it he does look like Bon.

[FlisTheBimpi]

Brings back sweet memories....!!!

[caira1977]

PAUL I LOVE YOU! ONLY YOU AFTER THE DARK

[spencer51418]

Koss plays that guitar with aggression. I love it! Love the increasing tension in this song. Superb!!!

[rayjr62]

I agree. What a waste of talent. He died way too young.

[supermansnumber1fan]

I AGREE WITH YOUR AGREEAL

[loskitp]

This is FREEdom to me. ;-)

[sanctifiedone]

That was beautiful.

[emperorsdragon]

No Free never played at Woodstock 1969. The Music Press over the pond were blind to real talent. Therefore rock fans in the US were totally ignorant of FREE's existance. Not so for us lucky Brits, some of whom recognised these guys were special after hearing Tons of Sobs& The Free album. This view was certainly reinforced for many after seeing them tour up and down the length of GB 1968 to 1970.

[squonkness]

Free were asked to perform and declined.

[acidhippy1990]

Hey, did Free play at Woodstock? I'm really wondering...if anyone knows, thanks in advance! Peace!

[fuefedahoidda]

kossov looked quite stoned:-)

[emilianociao]

Great song!

Great band!

[abasanti]

fuck me running

[pinkcartoonman]

allways been rock and roll to me

[512sarthe917]

the bass in the instrumental is amazing. i love that solo. its not very rocky but the guitaring still (both bass and electric) is still fucking awesome!

[39pounder]

How cool was Andy Fraser? What a dude. There's not a day goes past that I don't hum a Free tune, play a Free record or think about how amazing they were. I'd give up all the gigs and festivals I went to just to have seen them once.

[squonkness]

Andy Fraser, at the tender age of 15 had already been playing with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers.

[theostaras]

Free

[davegarland]

this is what matters

[thedcoy]

The epitome of what rock stars look like right here!

[JchiefJ]

F*ckin' awsome! :-D

[SMITHWAYNE100]

lovely les paul sound heavy and raw

[noshtrilz]

absolutly fuckin A1!! The chemistry of this band was incredible - so much power and soul!!

[Islwynpaul]

Isle if Wight 1970, what a gig and then this. Free playing like young gods, perfect stuff. Thank You for posting this.

[raftingole]

yeah... i really like this song

[moonheaver]

Free were one of the best sets of this amazing Festival and I was so lucky to be there to witness it firsthand.

[ivana2309]

the best song ever!!! and the band to!!
