Free - I'll Be Creepin' (Doing Their Thing, 1970) Official Live Video

[@miltonfriedman9673]

Talk about a band that played so understated but yet went so hard. Just incredible.

[@sxejam518]

I'm sitting in My van listening to this and enjoying some fine cannabis. I feel this in my soul. Free was one of my Dad's favorite bands, loved to hear him tell me what is was like to see Free, Floyd, Sabbath, CCR, Skynyrd and so many others live.

This band is sooooo underrated, nobody talks about them. Great stuff.

[@MrValentyne]

People in the know don’t underestimate them at all...particularly Kossoff. He is still held I extremely high regard 45 years after his death. Free were only around for a relatively short time. But they left behind an extremely fine body of work. Perhaps they don’t get talked about as much because they split nearly 50 years ago. But those of us that were there at the time still talk about them 👍

[@TerryHouton]

I totally agree. Free was so much more than All Right Now, which isn’t even their best song.

[@bawbag3]

Free were never ever underrated , they have always been highly regarded and will remain so. I don’t know where people get this underrated pish from.

Simple, clean, groovin', no nonsense rock n roll that still holds up 50 years later. Just makes your ears and heart feel great. Like a fine wine or woman made to cherish. Free is top shelf in all areas. No one compares to Paul or Simon when they lock it in. Guitar & Bass had no choice but to jump on board. Awesome!!!

The bass player Andy Fraser was one of the greats of all time! He either wrote or co-wrote all of these songs that they did and I believe he was only 17 years old at the time.. 👊👑👍

[@thaibulldog6800]

This was an era of bands galore. These young boys could match with anyone. Go watch their performance at the Isle of Wight concert. 13 impeccable songs in front of 500,000+ people. One of my all time favourite bands.

[@harrambou9468]

The Isle of Wight performance isn’t the best example lol I mean they were good but they kinda overdid it

[@heatherchurch]

Most people don't realize these guys were barely out of their teens when this performance was filmed, and Andy Fraser, I believe WAS 18. Just an unbelievably talented group.

[@paulbuxton1326]

Andy 15 when he joined 🙏

[@thewordofgord]

Thanks for the reminder!

[@joshuahymer15]

Wrong. They were are still in their teens except Simon who would have been 20

[@Will-A.]

Been following them since their Tons of Sobs album, before Alright Now was hit, Kossoff was my guitar hero. Went into shock for several days when he died (technically a 2nd time) as I'd dreamed of seeing them live one day.. Then bought the limited edition Free Story double album, played it over and over for years - probably went through more than one stylus on that album alone!

[@rocketrayray55]

Rodgers turned 21 in Dec. 1970.

[@pjfdourley4998]

I’ve never heard a voice like this ever

[@victormoreno1808]

Paul Rodgers' voice is an instrument in itself!

[@jboughtin7522]

What you can do with the right notes in the right places.

[@sixbladeknife44]

Kossoff utilizing the volume and tone knobs on his guitar throughout the song and controlling dynamics with his varied pick attack, masterful and no effects needed.

[@chasbodaniels1744]

He was freaking amazing in the ways you so perfectly described. Hell, I can bash out power chords, but Koss was a true musician. (Nice comment!)

[@sixbladeknife44]

Chasbo Daniels Thanks and yeah, those are things it takes most guitarists a lifetime to achieve if they’re able to achieve them at all...and he had mastered it all at such an early age. But even so, the one thing no one can ever fake is soul and feeling...it’s something that’s in you or it’s not. You could feel every note he played because he meant it, such a special player.

[@spiritualcramp8000]

perfect comment. he was 20 and already complete. his touch is a caress.

[@sixbladeknife44]

spiritual cramp Yup, his maturity as a player transcended his actual age...most players never approach that kind of mastery in a lifetime of playing. There’s no substitute for that kind of heart and soul, he said more with just one note than just about anyone else.

[@TheIkaika777]

The good old days when guitarists didn’t rely on a lot of effects.

[@Steve1861]

4 Brilliant,very young guys!!!! Big fan of Free GREAT MUSIC!!!!! All top notch 👌👏👍 They surely were underrated! I'm so thankful I grew up when I did!!!!! 60s 70s Best music ever! I saw Bad Co in 79…. and solo Paul in the early 90s. I was very lucky to have met Paul after that show! Paul still has a great voice to this day! I will be cranking up Free ALL weekend!!!!! 😀🎸

[@ArchieFatcackie]

Saw them that year twice in my home town, Simply an incredible live band, and so young. You just don’t get bands like that any more.

[@andymatthews7617]

There haven't been bands anywhere near their talent for a very very long time.

[@sheilab9417]

You are so right, they were so Young!!!! All under the age of 20 with a #1 song, imagine the emense amount of pressure that would put on any person. These young men got better and did extrodinary acts of kindness trying to save their bandmate from the deathgrip of drug addiction. OMG just WOW. LOVE FREE FOREVER!!!!💜💜💜😘

[@ArchieFatcackie]

@Divine Spark Sunderland.

[@ArchieFatcackie]

@Divine Spark Yes I was there. It really was incredible. I don’t know if some of the equipment was damaged but they couldn’t use the whole of the set. For some reason Sunderland took to them really early and they just seemed to roll on from there. They were relatively short lived just 3 or 4 years really mainly down to Koss’s drug problems but they really were the business. If I had that time machine mate they would be the group I’d go back and see, and that from someone who saw Zeppelin, The Floyd and many others back then.

[@rickysoto9194]

Just started diving deep into old school rock about 2 months ago, late in my 20s and I got to say. Finding free is incredible. They were never talked about at least when I was growing up. Everyone talked about GnR, led, sabbath, the Beatles. But I never heard anything about free, every now and then I would hear about bad company. Free is so good, I don’t know how no one talks about them. I’m definitely showing this band to everyone I know! 😅

[@dottiegillespie8067]

[@itallia666]

I'm binging on Free today... Like I did yesterday & the day before that, I basically listen to them every day always have always will We all know how brilliant Paul was then, the magic of Kossofs guitar, but Andy was a fantastic bass player & gave Free its particular sound, he was unique & then was just 16 yrs old turning 17 after a few big hits Hard to imagine kids today doing what these guys did! Paul being the oldest at 20 & by then they were a huge band touring the world. Kossoff dying at 26 was worse than tragic, if he'd lived & got off the drugs then we would have seen him become a giant wth his playing its so so damn unfair he had to go.

[@ryancannon1308]

Ah but the greatest chime comes at 2:47

[@rogerf7229]

Rusty Y, yes "wringing the life outa that guitar neck " Lately I've been thinking that same idea. GUITAR music usually has some non-musically correct sounds. RockNroll is about rebellion. So hang it by its neck, choke it, make it scream in agony, squeeze your fingers on it's Adams Apple. And the Wang bar makes that slow, death sound. Only to spring-back to life, and fight some more. Seems like Guitars have a lot to say. And they will YELL about it, if you're not paying attention. Gotta run , because I hear a siren I guess the guitar called 911 on you. Don't snap it's neck you'd miss your best friend. I know this stuff cuz I'm Guitarded.
