Free - "Moonshine" - live - best guitar solo ever (Paul Kossoff)

The band 'Free' play live their song "Moonshine" (audio only), this is from their album "Free Live", added as a CD bonus track. Originally on their first album "Tons of Sobs", this version from their live album takes the song to another level. An outrageous pace set by bassist Andy Fraser and Simon Kirke on drums, with Paul Rodgers despairing vocals complemented by an astonishingly amazing restrained guitar solo from the utterly brilliant Paul Kossoff.

I pieced together the video montage myself utilising footage mostly downloaded from YouTube, occasionally with some of my own added effects and filters.

My plan here is to make available a few of my favourite recordings not easily available, or not well-known, or simply underrated.

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.

In 1971, at 15 I went to my first few concerts, and before the summer was out I went to my first festival - Weeley.

@zsxd55:

They always do., not to mention the gritty vocals.

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.
