Free - The Stealer (Unreleased - extended Kossoff solo)

The Stealer - Unreleasd studio version with an amazing extended Kossoff solo. Guitar is wailing to the point of tears. Lyrics:
I went down to the centre of town
and my feet was a burning ground
she stood on the corner merrily as can be
I said hey good lookin won't you come with me
she said yeah
I am the stealer
came to steal your love

The sun was shining
The world was right
I said "tell me baby wha'cha doin' tonight"
I'm goin' round the corner
where the music's loud
I'm tired of the city
won't you come on round
I said yeah!
I'm the stealer
come to steal your love

steal your love oh yeah!

Goin' round the corner
where the music's loud
I'm tired of the city
won't you come on round
I said yeah
I am the stealer
come to steal your love

steal your love
steal your love
steal your love

I am going to steal you love away
I am going to steal you love away
steal your love

This is cool! A friend of mine had what I believe was this version on a homemade 8 track tape back in the 70's. Never heard it again until now. Thanks for sharing!

GREAT posting -- it's good to see more

people discovering Free -- one of the greatest bands ever!

Koss was criminally underrated, and may in fact be THE most underrated guitarist of the 20th century, if not ever. Amazing guitar work and amazing solo at the end.

Koss, he had soul.

Wow!!! This song first came out when I was a senior in High School and I absolutely loved it! Last night (40 years later), I came across this video upload and heard this unreleased extended studio version of "The Stealer" and I like it even better than the original album version from 1970! This is absolutely fantastic! Thanx for posting this!!!!!!!!

This Record Highway represented the very apex of my rock experience. To say this band could make you cry is an understatement

free... if they could have stayed together longer than four years they would have been the greatest band ever ......bar none!

[wingman1962]

The 2 CD collection "Molten Gold" has this long version of the song as well...this was my intro to the catalog....we've all heard "All Right Now" a million times...This set told the rest of the story!
