Fraser putting on a clinic here. He serves the song and gives it a muscular rhythm, lays down a solid base for Kossoff to solo over, then unleashes the Jack Bruce- John Entwistle, type chops when it’s his turn to shine. And he’s like 18 here. Any aspiring bassist should see this video!

Most of Free's songs were really slow, something I didnt realise when i was listening to them in the 70s. They gave the music time to breathe. Paul Kossoff didn't need to play 500 notes a minute to impress the listener. He just played the right notes at the right time. Absolutely brilliant. He died far too young.

Patriotic Hooligan Those are excellent bands, and I enjoy Warren Haynes in any environment. But in a crowded field, listening 50 years later, a case can be made that Free set the bar for performing virtuoso , utterly unpretentious hard rock. This 1970 example is so authentic, so honest, that it seems “unplugged” or “unprocessed” in comparison to contemporary broadcast production standards. Catch their 1970 debut festival performance at the Isle of Wight. For a fleeting moment, 4 very young, extremely gifted musicians mind-melded into a whole greater than the sum of its parts.

I have just discovered this vintage classic in 2023. I have known about "All Right Now" since the 70s, but this one managed to slip by me until this year! There's something about the late Andy Fraser's style that I love! I can't get this song out of my head! The way he leans and that hat he's wearing is so cool. There's a scene on this same stage in the "All Right Now" video where the camera zooms in on him and he looks "high as a kite!" Maybe he was just in the moment, but drugs did take out his other fret brother, Kossoff. This is a vintage classic nonetheless.

Yeah, Andy’s playing was integral to their sound. Remove him and it completely changes. Instrumental trios (Free, Cream, James Gang, Doors) have the challenge of delivering a full and interesting sound, without the benefit of another instrument to flesh it out (rhythm guitar, keys).

If I'm not mistaken however the first amp was chained into three more, at least two. Trying to pick the various models is a guitarist's wet dream because they're all vintage masterpieces. Including the ORANGE head too.

@@ivanjulian2532 Hard to tell but it looks like he's plugged into the Marshall he stands in front of, but the speaker being used (or at least recorded for us to hear) is on the lower left. If the boxes he stands in front of were live, it must have been deafening, as Marshall Super Bass amps are pretty loud, from what I understand (never having played through one -- and Kossoff apparently preferred those). The Orange amps almost look as if they were for the next band (speaker box in back of Kirke covered). Maybe used to project the guitar back towards the audience behind them. But who knows.

@@ivanjulian2532 He probably did. I read that he preferred the sound of the Marshall Super Bass (Malcolm Young also used them), also used the Super Lead, and may have used Selmer amps in the studio also (one of the guitars on All Right Now may have gone through a Selmer amp). I didn't read about the Hiwatts but it would not surprise me, as a lot of UK guitarists from that era tried them or used them.

Heard them 52yrs ago & i hear Them today and they are still the goddamn best band that ever got together & produced music that would make angels weep Make demons fall to their knees in ecstasy Hold back the tides These guys here were 17yr old Andy on base & ive never yet seen a bass player with a whole body rhythm like Andy had. 18yr old Kossoff on guitar Even Eric Clapton wanted to know how Paul managed to make his guitar sustain that agonised tremor 18yr old Simon on drums who makes it seem hes riding the surf & making it produce sound 19yr Paul Rodgers with tonsils like rusty barbed wire but makes his voice sound like silk being shredded as it leaves his throat NO ONE can make sounds like these young brilliant musicians could do! What 17yrs 18yrs 18yrs & 19yr old guys can put an outfit like Like FREE could Just listen to that combined sound!!! Its unreal. Hope youre rockin the Angelic realm, Kossoff & Frazer Youre legends guys 🇬🇧👧
