I agree 100% . I absolutely love Bad Company but this band Free is just phenomenal. I never paid much attention to Free because classic rock stations played All Right Now so many times that I became fed up with Free. I had never heard all these other great songs!! Thanks to You Tube I was able to see all I had been missing and how explosive these guys are!! I now have to say Free is a better band than Bad Company . I could kick myself in the ass for depriving myself of this incredible music for all these years!! The musicianship is just stunning. Andy Fraser bass playing is beyond words. When Simon Kirk talks about seeing Fraser play bass for the first time and said he's better than McCartney, he wasn't exaggerating. The bass in Free songs sounds like a lead instrument. Alot like McCartney bass playing on Rain and the entire Abbey Road album. Paul Kossoff puts his heart and soul into every note! Simon Kirk is a beast on drums and Paul Rodgers is right up there with Steve Marriott, Robert Plant and Joe Cocker. This band should have become legends like Zeppelin, Cream and The Stones, it's a shame they disintegrated because they wrote their own music and it was that damn good ,beyond good!! I thank god whoever recorded the Granada TV special had the brains to not erase it. There isn't much video available but I'm not complaining. It's kind of the same situation with The Allman Brothers Band with Duane. There is maybe 30 minutes of video available showing the original band. With the hundreds of shows both bands played in 69-71 it's a shame that this is all we have. Probably the 2 bands that if fate had been kinder god knows what masterpieces they would have created. Although The Allman's continued on and off as a band with different variations , it was never as good when Duane was in the band. Just like with Free, Kossoff never got the longevity he deserved,he lived a little longer than Duane but after Free broke up,Kossoff was basically finished and that is a tragedy. He was lost without Free and to capture the magic of a band like that is a once in a lifetime occurrence. Let's face it, 50 years later and there has never been a band like Free since. We can wait another 50 and there still won't be!!! Amazing is too weak a word!

What a terribly sad tale it was about Koss. I think Simon hits the nail on the head with his assessment of “Alright Now”. It was probably to soon to hit such a zenith. Sadly people were always going to compare everything else they did with it. I actually think “Wishing Well” was a better song. I think with Koss it was similar to Brian Jones. In those days there was nothing like the support around that these days we take for granted. Koss would have gone into rehab, cleaned up,the band would have had a hiatus and would have carried in at a later date. That didn’t/couldn’t happen in the 60s/70s. Instead we got more and more casualties as management squeezed every last drop out of bands. Koss is indeed in very good company of lost talent from that era. But his music will always live on, he’s still in my top 3 Guitarists of all time after nearly 50 years. Great documentary, thanks for posting.

Although I was there to see Blind Faith, by the time FREE were done, I was a hardcore fan and didn't even care so much about staying to see Clapton play; for me, at all of 16 years old, that night became all about FREE, and listening to Winwood sing and play guitar and keys (he's a brilliant guitar player still, and that night gave E.C. a real run for his money as well...). I mean, watching Koss savagely hit his Les Paul behind at stack of Marshalls was bloody breathtaking: never will forget it-what POWER!!!

Kudos to Andy Fraser, apart from being a prodigy, his efforts to save Koss were inspiring. He would have been 20 years old if that

Seeing this brought back memories. Saw Free maybe 4 times and at the Isle of Wight Festival. Saw them in a club just outside London and guess I was maybe 3 metres away from the stage. Indelibly etched in my memory, I was 3 Metres away from this incredible musical force of nature.

You were very fortunate indeed to have seen this band live. I came in during the Bad Company era, and they were superb but Free completes the picture for Rodgers and Kirke. It makes you realize that Bad Co was merely their vehicle to keep the music going, and they did so with great panache.

Much appreciated. As individuals they come across as lovely people and together they were a real force. You sense the real pang of sadness with the decline of Koss. I love the story of the Newcastle crowd encouraging him to get it together rather than getting angry and demanding their money back. Thanks Phil White for putting this up.

Now listen up kiddies! This is how it was properly done back in the day!! Even though Paul Kossoff was lost in a Mandrax fog, He unlike Syd Barret(who went off into the Stratosphere and never came back) was still able to throw out those beautiful blues-rock riffs,leads and melodies!! Free Forever!!

Great to watch them playing. The songs are all classics and Mr Big was, is and always will be magnificent. I saw them live in about 1971 as a sixteen year old, more or less my first big convert and I was a bit overwhelmed - so tremendously loud! I wish I had a better memory fo the songs they played.

I agree with Fraser, "My Brother Jake" was such an under-rated 45...highlighted each member of the band from Kirke's metronomic rhythm, Fraser's bass and piano, Rodgers' vocal but specifically Kossoff's economy with his two, three and four note riffs/fills. I never tire of listening to this wonderful single....as far as I recall, the only ever non-album single they released ?
