FREE were always about the blues. Every note, every lyric, dripped the passion that all four members felt about their craft. Most people know the members of FREE for what they did AFTER they left this amazing band. Paul Rodgers left free with drummer Simon Kirke to form Bad Company. The guitar genius, and troubled soul, Paul Kossoff left to form Backstreet Crawler. Bassist Andy Frasier sort of vanished. Rock started to drift into extreme excess on all levels starting about 1970 with signs of impeding disaster with the deaths of Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Joplin. It would only be a few years later that heroin would take the life of Paul Kossoff.
But, in 1970 FREE were riding high on the release of the one album that has endured to this day, Fire and Water with the their biggest hit All Right Now is still considered a masterpiece. Part of the tour for the record included quite a few radio shows including this one in Sweden. I hope you'll enjoy the show. Please download from this location here
