no era has had the endurence of music artist's as the late 60's and the 70's,to prove this point,take a list of bands and artist's that have layed the ground work and became iconic and the public have flat refused to let these bands die off,the 80's 90's and including the 21st century commercial sales oriented crap bastards will never figure this out,so next time you try and lay claim that youre gen is the best,be true to youre school!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the greatest songs of 1986. This got a lot of radio play. D.J.'s just seem to love spinning this one. Of course who wouldn't love to here Paul Rogers singing anyway. From Free, Bad Company, The Firm and beyond...Paul is one of the greatest front men of the 70's, 80's, and 90's. He still sounds incredible live even to this day. Check out the regroup live DVD he did with Bad Company a few years back called "Merchants of Cool" which is unreal good.
Paul Rodgers is an extreme rarity: a rock vocalist who can perform live just as well as in the studio. The only others I can think of are Ronnie James Dio, Bruce Dickinson and Ann Wilson, and on his best night, Chris Cornell.
Yes, since he was looking healthy and ever so wonderful again it's a shame we couldn't see more of him in this video, but then, I always want to see and hear more of him :)
I saw The Firm in 84' here in L.A..Incredible show..Paul Rodgers-Jimmy Page-Tony Franklin-Cris Slade...I saw Paul & Jimmy a year earlier at "The Ronnie Lane's Appeal To ARMS Benefit" also here in L.A. What a night!!!!
God I am so glad I was introduced to this music. I was a 90's kid but a rocker to the core and this and the other classics were and are still the best.
Wow... been looking for this video for YEARS!!! Now i just need to find this song , as well as Satisfaction Guaranteed on CD somewhere. Both are great songs and videos.
Great band saw them in detroit on the mean buisness tour Paul was absolutely fabulous as always page was drunk but still was able to give a decent show i was also lucky to meet paul in person twice great humble legend of a singer.
@oganmy9 I think it works to have the band projected onto the sliding screens in a feudal Japan home. If the band had been done up like a group of traveling minstrels in feudal Japan then this would be on of those awful videos from the 80's.
@oganmy9 Those screens are sliding room dividers found in most Japanese homes even today. They are lightweight and made of wood and backed by strong white paper. Used to make rooms smaller or larger, more private or less, depending on need. Quite handy and an efficient use of space.
Great song & vid -- I'm glad it's back up again finally.
Wow it's been aaaaaaaaaaaaaages since I saw this video!! So fucking awesome!

Paul Rodgers has the best rock voice ever.
The Firm was one of the best projects bands of the 80's.
I was 12 when I saw Jimmy Page with The Yardbirds in 1966. That moment changed my life and I got into music after that.
Page was playing guitar. They were a three piece band with a singer, Keith Relf, who died in 1976 in an accident.
Jeff Beck and bassist, Paul Samwell Smith, both quit. The 2nd guitarist, Chris Dreja, took over on bass.
The Firm brings back memories of those days.
