  • its really funny who the quality of the video distorts Paul's voice!!!!

  • very rare ,,very rare

  • good ol orage amps-- they still make em

  • 8 Dislikes ? Wtf is going on with those People ?

  • this is an awful recording....

  • Google "bad gig Durham Free" and you'll read why this song sucks! It was concocted to try to get audiences to clap longer at the end of their boring shows. It doesn't resonate with the anguished idealism or fornicatory release of the 60s or 70s - it's just commercial drivel, jerking audiences off musically for applause manipulation, which is why the disposable lyrics are so terrible. Pathetic! They were just a bunch of hacks trying to sound like an American band and make a buck.

  • @DrYattz You are kidding, right ? What American band(s) at the time ? There was nobody else around, Free was/is a one off.

  • Iconic song!

  • Damn straight!!!

  • After this song he would be lucky to be alive...it must have been totally surreal for him...he must have been like a God to the Gods (Beatles/Stones/Cream/others).­..and not only still alive but now married to miss Canada at 60 years of age...it all sounds like bullshit...

  • Amazing stuff!!! Allways very interesting to see how Paul Kossoff develops his solo (around 3:00). No version is identical to another. And his typical vibrato is as magic as ever! Later guitar players owe a lot to Paul Kossoff and I think most of them are prepared to acknowledge the influence he had on Heavy Metal.

  • Great video, best close-ups on Koss's guitar I've seen so far. Doesn't matter which amp he plugs into, he always sound like himself. The rest of the band is brilliant as always.

  • one of the best bands ever

  • Haha, I don't know why, but I like the quality xDD

  • Too bad the cameras sucked back then when music was worth recording. Of course it's perfected now that most of todays music blows.

  • Rare Video, good post !! That orange guitar amp is too loud !!!! Rodgers has gone horse trying to sing over the Guitar !!

  • shitty sound

  • reminds of marriot rip

  • ooooooooooooooright ;-)

    yeah, especially the end of live version of "every little bit hurts" (from The Autumn Stone) - the line 'all right now' hahaha

    They had a joint tour with Small Faces in 68 so who knows they could be a little inspired by lil Marriott

  • with this one track and with one fell swoop Paul Rodgers epitomises, immortalises, encapsulates and redefines 60' ethos in a frozen exactitude of rock and roll technique sempiternally...awe-inspiringl y sublime is the way the individual character of his singing comes to the fore..This is rock & roll at its best - music of refinement and control, slowing down the tempo of our everyday world and transforming the banal and mundane into a source of wonderment

  • Thanks for posting. I always wanted to see this without the goofy effects.

  • He's definitely challenging Kossoff's guitar ability with his vocals.

  • (for us guitar gear geeks).. notice the Orange amp he is playing the guitar through? this MUST be the amp used in the studio, the tone is identical. more glassy and brighter than a marshall. all the other Free vids he is playing through a marshall.

  • yeah..strange...shure this the sound is from the video...?

  • I thinking the same thing about the sound. But then since he and the bass player both have them I was thinking it may be a product placement/endorsement. The sound is identical.

  • great version

  • When MTV fisrt came out they would occasionally play this video.I thought it was the greatest and everything else was pretty much crap.

  • Yeah, that's funny. MTV used to be a music channel too, but not anymore.

  • mtv help kill rock n roll...only wanting million dollar music videos with all effects and shit...im anti mtv except watching rob and big and jackass haha

  • @tatethompson1234 there was a show on MTV at the time called Basement tapes... they litterally helped bands get recording contracts !

    this is the forerunner to the music videos that was shown on mtv back then

  • @g0ldbuG That's what the M stood for: Music TV.

  • That's some kickin' Lester tone through that Orange amp. Very nice.

  • Not sure what year Standard that is, but it is definately 50's with the skinny binding in the cutaway. Awesome Tone!!!

  • yeah tis sweet. i preffer his marshall rig though :P

  • it's not a good tape quality, but who cares :))

  • Yeah it is in the fist 30 seconds or so but after that it is fine.

  • thanks for sharing! :)

  • that's a gem
