THE BEST BAND EVER I REMEMBER SEEING THEM FIRST AT RAMBLING JACKS BLUES CLUB IN BISHOPS STORTFORD AND NEW THEY WOULD BE HUGE THEN. PAULS SINGING JUST BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES THANK YOU FREE FOR BRINGING LIGHT TO THE WORLD.
Back in 1970 i was 11 years old and starting to think i knew stuff. I loved this band, and thought their music was fantastic, its great to look back at this video and see i had some stuff bang on. One day my friend came back from the shops and told us he had gone into an independent record shop and asked the man if they had any "Free" records, to be gruffly told "we sell em ere", i still giggle today when I remember my friends’ youthful indignation at the man’s apparent ignorance. Oh delight!
I was 13/14 in 1970 and "Allright Now" was the first 'rock' song I ever remember. Before that it was all pop through my Mum - the Beatles, Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey.
i know plant is the king, and yes Zepp is my all time favorite band, but my god, have u ever heard something so pure and so soulful, and so gut-wrenching as pauls singing. it humbles me, and makes me wanna break down and weep for everyone, and anything that has ever walked on this planet. god, thank u for this little bit of light in this dark exsistance.
Kossoff was the most underrated guitarist ever to live. There is no question of that in my mind. Listen to this, and then to the unreleased cut of "The Stealer" (with the explosive solo at the end that some numbskull cut off the album release of the track), and tell me I'm wrong.
@evolutionist2010 As mentioned, the one that closes out the unreleased version of "The Stealer" is nothing short of great. Also, their live cover of "Crossroads" has Paul Kossoff taking complete ownership of that song. Those are a couple examples I can think of right now.
Also Mr Big (live 1970) from zztops003. Watch Koss lean with his back on the speakers to feel the vibes, and listen also for Andy Fraser's bass solo which emerges from the guitar solo. (the video is not the same performance as the audio)
@professoricon seen that vid but never noticed him leaning on the amp like that before! i found a version of crossroads live at the empire in edinburgh (crossroads empire) not the best sound quality tho. just thought id put that on incase anyones looking for live stuff..... at 29yrs old id defo give up 20yrs or so just to have been around when all this was happening. thanks professoricon. keep them coming!
@dudestr5552 thanks, should check out the verion of crossroads at the empire if u dont already know it.
so iv dug out all the greeny, bloomfield, kossoff and the early clapton stuff, who else is ripping these les pauls this way i might have miseed? its like the guitars are gonna explode from the pure tone! im loving all the pointers im getting so keep those suggestions coming please...thanks in advance!
@rexforth What strings did koss use, Closest Ive found out is 11's or 12's with an Unwound G? Obviously There would have been some playing around and experimenting, however there must have been a basic stup that was worked around?
Eric Clapton (who I thought for a while had the best vibrato) asked Paul about his vibrato, and thought it was amazing (and traded guitars). Now I know why. I want to pick up my guitar right now, but I can't put down the headphones!
@professoricon I've been a blues/rock guitar player for a quarter of a century or thereabout, and let me just put that thought of yours to rest. Vibrato on an electric guitar in the blues/rock idiom and vibrato on a cello/viola/violin aren't executed the same. In case of the latter group of instruments, you shake the finger along the length of the string, while on the guitar, it is done across the fretboard. He may have listened to cello players, but the technique ain't the same.
I don't doubt that you are correct, but I'm just repeating what I read he had said in an interview.
I do know for certain from my own personal experience playing squash, football and cricket that training techniques are transferable between disciplines.
I loved the way he would lean his back on his speaker (watch the clip from 6:09 - 6:36). It would vibrate through his very soul, which explained how he got such feeling into his playing.
@vintagereproguitarra I love Kirwan. Him and Green complimented each other so well. Early FM was amazing and Danny all too often gets missed in discussions like this. Thanks for bringing him up.
Could this be the best Kosoff guitar solo ever released? Unbelievable restraint and lead up to the climax! If only to be one of the lucky ones to see them back in the day...
40 years from now they wont be talking about any music from the first decade, most of it is awful marketing drivin crap, they will talk about Free and watch reruns of MASH and have no idea what a Bieber is
@professoricon I agree, generations generate their own opinions about what is "good music". That's what "Classics" are, parents telling their kids about the music they listened to. If you take the time to submerge yourself in music, you will find gems like this. I'm 30 and love all music regardless of a point in time, and I mean any genre. You just have to have perspective in what you are listening to and in the long run you will enjoy any track that has been recorded.

@ThePowerslave94 Your generation didn't kill it, the promoters and major labels did. They dictate who gets the push and the breaks and the air time. There are a lot of talented rock and blues bands out there. They just need something like their own talent shows to get the exposure. As long as people like Satriani are being influenced by the like of led Zeppelin the good stuff will always exist. Check out the ages and the numbers still going to see the old bands. keep the faith.
@ThePowerslave94 There is a lot of different music going than what the channels pump in the air. It is just matter of taking time and some effort to get past the formulated stuff which automatically takes up Madonna or Lady GaGa no matter what sort of stuff they come up with. I have found a lot of stuff by reading reviews on music magazines, just going to record shops and asking questions.

Clapton missed the boat while boarding the bullet train.
i grew up with this band they truly were a band of genius' if there's any better i ain't heard them 3:55 so sweet , 5: 15 so powerful thanx for posting
I first heard FREE on a 1970 TV music video show called "The Now Explosion". That two to three hour video program was way ahead of it's time. I became a huge Free fan when I heard "All Right Now". It became a huge AM radio hit. But in the months that followed I wondered why I did not hear any more of their songs on the radio. After buying their albums, I discovered that Free did not sing many fast party music which may have limited their SUPER STAR chances. But their songs were great !
I first heard Free as a 14 year-old in 1970 on the Christmas edition of TOTP singing "All Right Now". It was the first ever 'rock' song that I was conscious that I liked. Before that I was really only conscious of music through my Mum's Shirley Bassey and Ton Jones records (I loved 'Delilah'), and of course the Beatles. I remember me and a bunch of my mates with tennis rackets pretending to be the Beatles strumming away to 'She Loves You', when I must have been 7 or 8.
After that Christmas edition of TOTP I got into Hendrix and Led Zeppelin and Status Quo, but never heard Free again until I saw them play 'My Brother Jake', again on TOTP I think it was. I thought at the time 'this is a pretty ordinary song made great by a fantastic singer'.
After that Christmas edition of TOTP I got into Hendrix and Led Zeppelin and Status Quo, but never heard Free again until I saw them play 'My Brother Jake', again on TOTP I think it was. I thought at the time 'this is a pretty ordinary song made great by a fantastic singer'.
Then I had an epiphany when it occurred to me that this was the same band that did "All Right Now", but they sounded completely different and it took me a few minutes to work it out and recognise them as the same band. I then went out and bought "The Free Story" and was totally blown away.
It wasn't The Hunter or The Stealer or Fire & Water that impressed me, but the ambience of the blues songs like Heavy Load and Mourning Sad Morning and Sail On.
They lived in the shadow of Cream and Led Zeppelin. I am certain that you will have heard some of their music. Their best known song is "Alright Now" which is the most played song on the radio (ever, anywhere). The singer and the drummer went on to form Bad Company. The singer has also played in the Firm (with Jimmy Page), and more recently with Queen in the absence of Freddie.
@professoricon Yes, and unfortunately drugs took their toll as well. They effectively drew Paul Kossoff out of the band causing him to collapse onstage and the inability to participate recording.
Polskich użytkowników YT, poszukujących więcej wiedzy o Free, zapraszam: cogra.pl/index.php/szacun/dlaczego-tak-bardzo-kocham-free-ortodoksyjny-glos-drugi/
isto é puro rockn roll..........grupo fantastico com mais puro samgue na veia .Na bateria Simon K.,na guitarra P.Kossoff,no vocal P.Rodgers eeeeeeeeeee Andy Frazer no baixo mais bem mandado que ja vi até hoje tudo isso junto vira um HEMOCENTRO
I know not every performance is captured, but has anyone heard of any video of this live version? This version is so heavy I would love to see the performance.
There is a great DVD available called "Free Forever", which contains all of the known videos of Free, and includes some special features and interviews, but unfortunately nothing for 'Moonshine'. Well worth buying.
I know exactly where you are coming from on this one. I had the same thoughts. It is the simplicity, eloquence of those riffs, without overpowering/jamming, yet the emotion of Koss' delivery makes the package just P.E.R.F.E.C.T. . Like a japanese arrangement "beauty through simplicity".
damn,listen to the snap in Kirke's snare drum-that is so damn good-I wish I could get my snare to stay in tune that long.....I agree Kossoff is on fire withthis one,plus my other fav Kossoff did was Don't say you love me.Utterly breathtaking.
Right. Koss had such a great touch, used celver voicings, and always played for the song, which are characteristics largely lost and undervalued by many modern guitarists who think that excessive distortion, volume, tapping, and sweep arpeggios are valid substitutes for musicianship. (look at all the guitar wankers on YouTube for an example). Back to Koss - he was wonderful and left way too soon.
@bowiemott Free were kings of subtlety and economy. They were masters of the sublime. Especially Kossoff, the right amount of vibrato at the perfect moment, the buildup and release of tension just where it was needed. They were all capable of knocking you over with a feather. As the founder of Island records said, "They were like the most powerful unit, like four people, in a sense as if they were standing facing north, east, south and west with their backs to each other as a force"
Just checked good old Ebay. The album is called "Kossoff: Blue Soul". Do a search for it. Cheap as anything, and worth a million bucks. Get it before I do!
This is one of the few songs Free played that Koss wrote. This makes it one of his best Free solos, because he's not playing someone else's song. We hear what was going through his head when he wrote it.
I think this version appeared on another album called Crossroads before the Free Live reissue. I used to have it years ago. It also had that long version of Crossroads and a stack of obscure, excellent sessions featuring Koss on other people's songs, like Jim Capaldi.
Swwwweeeeeeeet ! (nuff said)

I first heard FREE on a 1970 TV music video show called "The Now Explosion". That two to three hour video program was way ahead of it's time. I became a huge Free fan when I heard "All Right Now". It became a huge AM radio hit. But in the months that followed I wondered why I did not hear any more of their songs on the radio. After buying their albums, I discovered that Free did not sing many fast party music which may have limited their SUPER STAR chances. But their songs were great !

I first heard Free as a 14 year-old in 1970 on the Christmas edition of TOTP singing "All Right Now". It was the first ever 'rock' song that I was conscious that I liked. Before that I was really only conscious of music through my Mum's Shirley Bassey and Ton Jones records (I loved 'Delilah'), and of course the Beatles. I remember me and a bunch of my mates with tennis rackets pretending to be the Beatles strumming away to 'She Loves You', when I must have been 7 or 8.

After that Christmas edition of TOTP I got into Hendrix and Led Zeppelin and Status Quo, but never heard Free again until I saw them play 'My Brother Jake', again on TOTP I think it was. I thought at the time 'this is a pretty ordinary song made great by a fantastic singer'.

Then I had an epiphany when it occurred to me that this was the same band that did "All Right Now", but they sounded completely different and it took me a few minutes to work it out and recognise them as the same band. I then went out and bought "The Free Story" and was totally blown away.

It wasn't The Hunter or The Stealer or Fire & Water that impressed me, but the ambience of the blues songs like Heavy Load and Mourning Sad Morning and Sail On.

Rokhead00 1 year ago 2
@Rokhead00:
They lived in the shadow of Cream and Led Zeppelin. I am certain that you will have heard some of their music. Their best known song is "Alright Now" which is the most played song on the radio (ever, anywhere). The singer and the drummer went on to form Bad Company. The singer has also played in the Firm (with Jimmy Page), and more recently with Queen in the absence of Freddie.
professoricon 1 year ago
@professoricon Yes, and unfortunately drugs took their toll as well. They effectively drew Paul Kossoff out of the band causing him to collapse onstage and the inability to participate recording.

Easily one of the best white written blues. In other word, Kossof has THE blues, he knows how to express it. He's one of the greatest.

There is no live video for this performance.
There is a great DVD available called "Free Forever", which contains all of the known videos of Free, and includes some special features and interviews, but unfortunately nothing for 'Moonshine'. Well worth buying.

I know exactly where you are coming from on this one. I had the same thoughts. It is the simplicity, eloquence of those riffs, without overpowering/jamming, yet the emotion of Koss' delivery makes the package just P.E.R.F.E.C.T. . Like a japanese arrangement "beauty through simplicity".

Well said. And whammy bar geeks also note.. That is was just Paul Kossoff and a Gibson and a Marshall valve amp. without effects
blindboybenton 1 year ago 4
Right. Koss had such a great touch, used celver voicings, and always played for the song, which are characteristics largely lost and undervalued by many modern guitarists who think that excessive distortion, volume, tapping, and sweep arpeggios are valid substitutes for musicianship. (look at all the guitar wankers on YouTube for an example). Back to Koss - he was wonderful and left way too soon.
bowiemott 1 year ago 5
@bowiemott Free were kings of subtlety and economy. They were masters of the sublime. Especially Kossoff, the right amount of vibrato at the perfect moment, the buildup and release of tension just where it was needed. They were all capable of knocking you over with a feather. As the founder of Island records said, "They were like the most powerful unit, like four people, in a sense as if they were standing facing north, east, south and west with their backs to each other as a force"

Blue Soul is a fantastic album...I have it on vinyl...which has a lovely gatefold cover...and a brilliant collection of songs
I think this is one of the songs Free played the first time they rehearsed/jammed...

Just checked good old Ebay. The album is called "Kossoff: Blue Soul". Do a search for it. Cheap as anything, and worth a million bucks. Get it before I do!
tobyab 2 years ago 4
This is one of the few songs Free played that Koss wrote. This makes it one of his best Free solos, because he's not playing someone else's song. We hear what was going through his head when he wrote it.
I think this version appeared on another album called Crossroads before the Free Live reissue. I used to have it years ago. It also had that long version of Crossroads and a stack of obscure, excellent sessions featuring Koss on other people's songs, like Jim Capaldi.
