Paul Rodgers is one of those rare vocalist that improved with age.

I feel sorry for those poor souls who missed this era. So much great rock

[@michaelpond6386]

@@allensaunders449 maybe , maybe not. I’m more of a blues guy. The earlier Rock and roll borrowed heavily from the blues. I guess that’s why I like it. I’m not a rap, grunge or whiny chick fan. I hate auto tune and love live stuff.

[@grannyh1143]

​@Jim Roberts they may be available on KZbin etc., but you will never, ever match that era for live music. These live videos just don't do the concerts justice.

Paul Rogers is the best male voice in rock and roll ever (IMHOP), and he kept it for longer than any other performer. The man is simply amazing.

Paul Rogers one of THE greatest rock singers ever. And at his age he still sounds strong as ever

[@jenniferworley7115]

Sometimes I complain about being so old (71) but then I hear songs like this one again and realize how truly blessed I am to have grown up at a time when these amazing artists were performing. Saw so many amazing concerts from the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Who, Heart, Lynyrd Skynyrd Fleetwood Mac and so many others and wouldn't change a day of my time on my great musical experience journey. Makes the aches and pains worth it. 😃✌🤗 Love your reactions Beth. You are so informative, never preachy or condescending. Bless you.

Paul is incredible! One of my faves. He sounds even better during the entire 2008 Seminole Hard Rock Live concert. The live version of Ready For Love from Seminole Hard Rock Live 2008 is awesome!

[@stevious7278]

50 years of belting them out and Paul Rogers hasn't lost a thin. The man is incredible.

[@rodjeffries9487]

Paul Rogers one of the very best rock voices ever many would say THE BEST.

[@kerrywolfert5095]

My favorite singer's , Steve Walsh (ex of Kansas), favorite singer. Rogers is just so good! You know, he toured with Queen after Mercury passed. One would have thought he'd be intimidated filling such enormous shoes but, he walked on stage and just killed all of the Queen songs. Amazing.

[@keefmack]

Love Steve Walsh also

[@Lee-vp8vs]

I was blessed to see Paul perform with Jeff Beck several years ago. Epic gig.

[@waynekasmar4401]

It was the other way around. Queen were in awe of Paul Rodgers.

[@toddmoney8921]

LOVE Paul Rogers, LOVE Queen but have to disagree on the Queen collab. I really didn’t feel they were well suited. George Michael’s and Adam Lambert I thought nailed it, I guess because they were coming more from the same direction as Freddie. I don’t mean sexually, though that might have been a factor but they brought that bombastic thing that Freddie had. I never appreciated either much until I heard them with Queen but then it was just a kick in the gut!

[@lynby6231]

Paul was Freddie Mercury’s hero and inspiration

[@spads1971]

At last somebody reacts to the legend Paul Rodgers. Thank you so much. I also adore his Muddy Waters tribute cd with some of the finest guitarists around as well as Free and Bad Company.

[@markmaioli4]

Paul Rogers is on my Mt. Rushmore of late 60s/early 70's rock vocalists with Robert Plant, Ian Gillan & Roger Daltrey! Don't know what year this concert is from, but they're obviously much older, and he's still amazing. When I saw Bad Company in '76 he was at the height of his vocal power - simply awesome.

[@frankpentangeli7945]

I saw Bad Company in '76 too (with Styx as the opening act). One of the very best concerts I've ever seen ... and I've attended a lot of concerts. Clean, pure sound, with kickass drive and a hammering rhythm section. And of course one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) rock vocalists of all time. Blew me away!

[@IggyTthunders]

No, Dio? *Shakin' mah head*

[@electricladyguitarsdevonuk1414]

It's no surprise that Blackmore wanted him for Deep Purple

[@joshuas3897]

I saw Bad Company probably around 6-7 years ago now and he was still absolutely amazing. Paul Rodgers is amazing and his longevity is legendary!

[@kjdskgj]

YES! I've been waiting for you and other reaction channels to react to Paul Rodgers, one of the most charismatic singers ever!

[@riksplace]

One of the BEST......saw them back in the 70's when this was all new........amazing bands like this came thru our little East TN area back in the day........

Awesome reaction! More Paul Rodgers please. One of rock's greatest singers. He was 60 in this video. Has truly kept his voice through the years.

[@alanfine9825]

So much made my High School years memorable.....The Music!!!

I saw them at the Capital Center in Maryland around 1976/77 . Also saw Areosmith' Dream On consert not long afterward. Great music and great timeless memories.

[@markfowler1888]

I have to say, I'm so glad I grew up in this era. We had this Band and so many others, life was good. I glad you and others are getting to experience these great bands through these reaction videos.

[@patsow4797]

Warmest greetings from Vancouver 🇨🇦 Paul Rogers lives about 2 km from me, and on occasion I see him at the Local Urban fair. I’ve had a chance to chat with him a few times as I’ve always been a huge fan of Bad Company. He’s a very remarkable humble unassuming fellow. And it’s nice to see such amazing Musicians are also amazing people as well.

[@GlennBuchanan-wk2mf]

I got to see them in concert at Madison Square Garden. 76 or 77. Along with your professional observations, its your ability to feel the music that just makes your show just that much more entertaining. Keep it up and thank you.

[@Sox987]

So much joy in your face doing this reaction video... thanks

[@stevem-h3562]

The amount of big groups in the 1970s who would have given their eye teeth to have recruited Paul Rogers is ridiculously large. He was, and still is, held in very very high esteem.

[@RobinTig]

Paul Rogers is just 🥂🏆 Happy you enjoyed it, even after all the years he was still at the top in this performance

[@stratcat3216]

Paul is one of those singers that reminds me of fine cognac and tobacco. Amazing voice. what soul.

Paul Rodgers. Been rocking it since 2968 with Free. Still sounds awesome today. Legend.

Paul Rodgers is an amazing singer. I’ve seen him many times solo, with Bad Co, Queen & The Firm. Was in the front row for this one. Thanks for doing this video!

[@surrealestate06]

That he could tour with Queen and just be 100% himself is a testament to the quality of his voice. Oh, it's "Mott the Hoople" not Matt, lol.

[@paulscott775]

Paul Rodgers is my favourite vocalist. Just the best rock/blues voice . Seen him many times live ....amazing . Some tremendous solo albums too

[@luisalonsoecheverria]

This song is the musical manifestation of badassery!!

[@billc.5861]

Bad Co. was my favorite band as a teenager in the 70’s My friends kept saying Led Zep and Ted Nugent but they just had that bluesy/soulful rock sound I just dug. Mr Rogers vocals are so great. Simon Kirk was a big drum influence on me as a teenager drummer and of course Boz on bass & Mick on guitar were so tasteful. Deep catalog of really good music to explore. Thanks & enjoy

[@charlesallison146]

I saw them back in the 80s on their Running With The Pack tour. Eddie Money opened for them. Killer Concert ...

[@calkelpdiver]

Running with the Pack was released in 1976, and that album's tour was in 76/77. I saw Bad Co in 1979 on their Desolation Angles tour. Heart opened for them that night. Paul Rodgers had left around 83 and was replaced by Brian Howe.

[@charlesallison146]

@@calkelpdiver I'm old my memory ain't what it used to be I thought it was around 1980... I know Paul Rodgers was a singer though.

Love your passion Beth. Three vocal deliveries along with excellent musicianship that you'll never regret hearing/reviewing are; 1) The Weaver's Answer - Family 2) Coming home - Delaney, Bonnie & friends (featuring Eric Clapton) 3) Nantucket Sleigh ride - Mountain Best wishes

[@mckayuk]

Approaching retirement age I know I was blessed to have been a Teenager when Free & many other great bands and solo artists were releasing their first albums and singles and touring the U.K. but equally well I remember how sad it was to read about how Free were falling apart due to their talented Guitarists drug addictions and increasingly incapability to play and why they didnt go on to record more and I cant but feel there are several albums and many great songs missing from their discography because of it BUT what is truly amazing is how good a singer Paul Rodgers was and remains one of the best U.K. blues singers to grace international stages with which ever Band he sang in. Me I wasn't a huge fan of Bad Company although I bought all their albums. I just felt they missed that unique special ingredient Kossoff gave Free and the chemistry that was unique to the 4 of them. A shame that so few live stage performances were captured in high quality video of Free at their peak.

[@dawsonje]

This dude was KILLING that song. Talk about musical domination

[@jss27560]

I was watching another youtube channel called "Professor of Rock” and he was talking about the biggest snubs of the Rock & roll hall of fame Paul Rogers was no. 4. and he pointed out that he was named the greatest singer by Freddy Mercury and Ann Wilson among others. He was also the lead singer of Green when they 1st reunited.

[@wardka]

Has Beth reacted to the late James Dewar, best known for singer, bass player in Robin Trower? Talk about a blues voice! "Bridge of Sighs" never fails to give me goose bumps.

[@portcullis5622]

I agree that James Dewar is one of the greatest blues rock voices ever.

[@shannonmccullough8324]

This is why they call Paul Rogers The Voice. He was known for laying his vocal tracts in one take.

[@Cashcrop54]

Saw Bad Company many times in the 70's and was amazed at Paul's voice every time. He is one of the very best. "All Right Now" by Free is a Classic.

[@williamrunner6718]

Bad Company. One of my favorite blues rock, I want to even say southern rock even though these boys are from England and Canada. Love them!

[@jimreadey4837]

If you enjoyed his vocals _(and who wouldn't?),_ I have two words for you: *Studio version.*

[@stevedotwood]

From the same show at Wembley "Run With The Pack". His vocals are even better in that song. It's on KZbin.

[@steamyconceptsmail3208]

Simply one of the greatest vocalists in the history of rock and roll. Bad Company were on Led Zeppelin's private Swan Song record label. Jimmy Page and Paul Rodgers had a band in the 80s called The Firm which did some amazingly brilliant music, as you can probably imagine. I highly recommend.

Its a crime their not in the Rock Hall. Paul for my money is in the top 5 greatest frontmen of all time.

[@ryanr5319]

I second The Firm, but not the song Radioactive. I suggest Midnight Moonlight or Live in Peace.

[@jalkabre5904]

"Satisfaction Guaranteed"

[@donrichter3523]

Sadly, Burrell died many years ago, and Ralphs hasn’t toured with the band since 2016 due to health reasons. But most importantly, Paul has been back with the band for about the last 20 yrs and Simon Kerke never left. I saw them around 2019 and Paul Rodgers, even in his 70’s still sounded amazing.

[@jalkabre5904]

Such a great concert, they haven't lost a thing with age. Paul sounds as good as ever. Also highly recommend from the same concert the song "Simple Man". Paul's voice inflections are outstanding. His voice takes it to another level.

[@vernhoke7730]

Loved "All Right Now" by Free, had Bad Company and Straight Shooter on vinyl and 8-track back in the seventies.

[@JamesJones-zt2yx]

Awesome song, awesome vocals. Note the Beethovenesque false ending--sounded like it was going to end, but then with a shout they took it on a little longer.

[@michaelheller8841]

Paul Rogers is the most soulful voice in Rock history. Even at his advanced age, he sounds like he did in the 70’s.

My favourite Bad Company song. I am a HUGE Queen fan, and Paul sang with Queen for a few years following Freddie's passing, (they even recorded an album together), There is a recording of Paul singing this on stage with Brian May and Roger Taylor which is amazing.

[@portcullis5622]

Paul Rodgers was in his mid 50s when this Iive performance was recorded and still sounded great. It would be interesting, by way of comparison, to listen to Paul Rodgers' voice when he was in his early twenties on classic Free songs such as 'Oh I Wept', 'Soon I Will Be Gone' and the sublime 'Come Together in the Morning'.

[@tsw5746]

One of rock's greatest singers. Saw Rodgers with Free twice in '72 (one of which was my first concert), and again with Bad Co in '74 . Jump to 2017 and the Free Spirit tour and he hadn't lost anything - all the power, control and range were still there. A fantastic voice.

By the look of them, this was 20 years after their heyday. Paul Rodgers still sounds spot on amazing. If anything, he just shortened up his vocalization's a little bit to keep from getting tired. He would have held out a lot of those notes much longer when he was younger and it was even more amazing then.

[@thomasmurray3920]

Paul Rodgers is amazing with Bad Company and Free. The Firm w Jimmy Page is an interesting musical switch, but Paul's super-group hookup with Queen in the 00s is legendary. His version of Show Must Go On is excellent.

[@piedmontish]

Nice reaction. I didn’t know about the book you referenced however, Rodgers is a smart, well read man… there are just too many references to events involving Jesse and Frank James lives during and after the Civil War to make these coincidentally appear in the song. This is one of the “stay on the car until the song ends” songs we all loved but, I gotta say, this live, when they’re older, is even better to me!1
