To be fair, they were all of them absolute world class. Rodgers maybe stood out because he was a singer, but hell, those Basslines from Andy Fraser and that guitar from Kossoff and the steady rythms of Simon Kirke. What an absolute monster of a band. Way before my time, sadly.

One of the GREATEST vocalist and songs EVER! This song transcends in time

One of the best vocalists ever, so much soulfulness in his voice. Paul Rodgers is fantastic and unmistakable.☮️

Free truly were one of the absolute greatest rock bands. Paul Rodgers is a probably the greatest blues rock vocalist ever. I say is because I saw Bad Co recently and he really can still do it. Paul Kossoff was an absolute guitar god, but now, sadly, largely forgotten. He died on 1976 on a flight from LA to New York. He has a plaque in the Summerhouse at Golders Green cemetary, where he was cremated - the epitaph written on it reads "All Right Now" - RIP Paul

Free was very young when this song hit...They we’re all under 20 when they cut this tune. Andy Frazier was 15 years old when the band formed... Kossoff was 17 and Rodgers and Kirk were 18 when the band formed in 1968.

I saw Paul Rodgers and Bad Company this past August. Paul still has the vocal power to pull these great old songs off. Not bad for being 69 years old.

Paul Rodgers the KIng of Blues - Rock vocals. Nobody compares and he's better today than ever!

Koss’s guitar tone on this is so good. This is THE Les Paul tone we all wanted.

Great song of my teenage years. Ahhh the best rock of the ages, the '70's! 😎

Fire And Water, Heartbreaker, Mr Big, Come Together In The Morning. Just a selection of great Free tracks.

Greatest blues rock voice of all time. Paul f’ing Rodgers!

The band I was in during the early 1970s used to play this whenever the crowd wasn't getting into the sound. Worked every time! Paul Rodgers rocks!

This song really gets the goosebumps up, Paul Rodgers voice is amazing!! But, what is about this little island call Great Britain that produces this seemingly endless wealth of amazing musical talent, its influence knowing no bounds....What a Brilliant country!!!

I have just started checking out these reaction videos. And it got me thinking I was really lucky music-wise growing up with all the music these young people are reacting to. My memory of listening to music is pretty much from 1959 on. So it's kinda cool watching their reactions to great music...

Take me back to summer 1970...this was on the radio and my stereo, ALL the time! Paul Rogers. What a voice. And Paul Kossoff...great guitar. And power house backing from bass and drums, Simon Kirk and Andy Frazier. I was 17 and it sounds just as good now I’m 66!

Great band with deep blues in their soul, RIP Paulk Kossoff you made me smile and cry at the same time. Both Paul and Joe played Les Pauls.

Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke (drummer) formed Bad Company after Free disbanded, mostly due to Free guitarists Paul Kossoff's addictions. Bass player Andy Fraser left and Free did break up and reform but Kossoff was just not in good shape. Eventually, Rodgers and Kirke along with Mott the Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs who was not happy with the direction that Mott was going joined and after a long search for a bass player they found Boz Burrell from King Crimson which was a surprise to them since none of them were really fans of King Crimson. Free formed when the members were all in their teens and All Right Now came about when the band was looking for an anthem type song to really get the live audience involved. Before All Right Now, their cover The Hunter was their big live song. However, don't overlook many, many great songs from Free's six studio albums. I know you don't take suggestions here but Wishing Well, Fire and Water, The Stealer, I'm a Mover, Songs of Yesterday, Broad Daylight, and many more are worth a listen.

I think Kels really diggin the 70s which was one of the best eras ever. Late 60s early to mid 70s. AWESOME ! Just love it.

I just heard a Paul Rodgers solo tune I hadn't come across before on Sirius Deep Tracks this week called "Freedom." It was amazing; sounded like vintage '70s Bad Co and his voice simply never seems to age.

The talkbox idea originally stemmed from the 1940s sonovox idea where an instrument would be micd up and had little speakers pressed into the neck of a person, the person would then mouth words and the instrument would talk. Sparkys magic piano and stringy the talking steel are good examples. But one of the people suffered complications while using a sonovox, so they then thought of the solution...the talkbox, the one you heard on Rocky Mountain way belonged to a pedal steel player named Pete drake who loaned it to joe Walsh. This then paved the way to what Kel has been hearing.

All Right Now was written in less than twenty minutes on the way to a concert - guitar riff and vocals improvised.

Thanks for your reactions! I really appreciate you both, and getting to see and hear Kel’s reactions - while also getting a little music education as well.

There is no better than free god bless paul and andy top class musicians

met Paul at a bar called Greyfox Inn. He just got out of a stint at rehab court-ordered. free-flowing beer had a blast. one of my favorite singers. Best garage band ever

We all loved the 70s. Holy sheet what a time. Why would I want to listen to any other decade? It was all a Summer Breeze.

Free, one of the most under appreciated bands. I myself overlooked them. I new All Right Now but never dug any deeper. Now I really dig Mr. Big, Woman, Be My Friend and Fire and Water. And don’t forget Child, too good pretty deep for a bunch of kids.

I think my favourite Alright Now recording is the early black and white one. I was 20 when it hit the radios. Fantastic!

I too have Epilepsy and have always found all genres of music to be so therapeutic. We all loved this one (air guitars everywhere) 🎸

The live version of this is stunning!

You're hearing 1959 Les Paul's played through Marshall Plexi amps in both songs. It was tunes like these that drove the price of those particular guitars into the hundreds of thousands of dollars each range. There's something special about them. But what most don't comprehend is is wasn't specifically the equipment used that got those sounds, it was the people playing them that got those sounds. Lots of people play Les Paul's through Marshall amps, but not all sound like this.

What a song! It brings back so many memories from that time............ :-) Thank you for sharing. I want to dance!!!!!!! Kel I love the seventies also. High School and College...........

Enjoy your videos, am always quietly in the background enjoying them... Free were one of those bands that brought me to ROCK... Love this track above all..

50 years old.Timeless.

The lead guitarist, second from the right on the album cover was Paul Kossof the son of a British comedy actor. He died on a plane from the US of a heart attack at the age of 23. Paul Rogers was born and brought up in my hometown.

As a teenagers, 17/ 18 we hung out with a guy that was several years older! He grew some of the best weed and lived down a dead end dirt road! We used to go out on Saturday nights and listen to music and get stoned! There was a radio station out of Atlanta called 96 Rock! They used to have a show on Sat nights called King Bisquit Flower Hour and they would highlight many of these bands albums when they came out! It was great sitting there hearing the whole album of so many greats while smoking on buds as long as your arm!!!! Damn, I miss those days!

I love Free, such an underrated band, they have so many great songs. Seems like hardly anyone reacts to them.

Actually, the original album with the song All Right Now is called Fire and Water. One of the best albums to come out of the 70's. Every song on the album is good. Many songs on the album have a blues tone to it . It's the kind of album you don't listen to in the background, but the kind you sit back and relax with no distractions, to really enjoy. It's that heavy. I really don't consider All Right Now to be the best song on the album but many people do. I am more of a blues kind of guy, and man do they have the blues on that album. "Oh I wept" being one of them with "Do You Remember" as another great tune. Remember that same guitarist plays on all of the songs, and play he does.

Superb band, great bass lines and Rodgers is (for me) the greatest and most consistent rock singer of all time, so much tone and soul in his voice. Greetings from England guys, one my county's greatest band's.

It's classic hard rock. Paul is called the Voice for a reason.

such a great song.

If you ever get a chance, listen to "Mr. Big". Free at their finest. Fabulous vocals from Paul Rogers. Brilliant drumming from Simon Kirke, outstanding lead guitar from Paul Kossoff. And one of the finest examples of bass playing from Andy Fraser.

Well, we used to call it British Blues Rock back in the day and in the part of the World i grew up in.

Hahaha you guys are putting my cruising play list together.

Apparently this song came about when the band had played a gig where they hadn’t gone over at all well. They sat on the steps behind the hall and wrote the song in 10 minutes, with the refrain ‘ All right now ‘ refering to the fact that despite the disappointment of the moment, things were actually all right.

Classic music from music lovers with CLASS.....😎👌🙏❤

his live shows showed his powerful perfect voice!

Not a bad song on the album, solid 10 . brings back memories.

My favorite lead vocalist EVER - Paul Rodgers!!!

Andy Fraser also wrote 'Be Good To Yourself', a hit for Frankie Miller. This is a fabulous track that you could react to.

Great song!

That was a badass song to rollerskate to! Now it's one I have to watch my accelerator to! 😅 All-time favorite 70s group🙌

I love this song and I love watching you guys! Rock on! All Right Now!

i agree with others comments ..in the top 10 singers of all time ,Paul .Free of course ,bad company and solo. listen to fire and water ,be my friend and others great songs of this band. great :-)

Great reaction folks got to love Free. Wishing Well is my favourite track by Free

The 1st song by Free is the original "All Right Now". It was a huge hit in the late-1960s.

Love this song ! Takes me way back to being a kid. 🤩

Best vocalist; best song ever. You can't go wrong.

One of my favourite bass lines

Here's some Canadian trivia, the band Sky Lark , recorded a song called Wildflower which is the most covered song in Canadian history. Take a listen it's a fantastic song. The lead singer wrote it for his wife. It takes me back to that time in the early 70's.

I love how quickly you spotted that digital remix. 👍 I would ask you to look into the collaborating that occurred at the Caribou Ranch. So many of the top performing musicians stayed and recorded at this colorado mountain hideaway. It has a prolific history with a unique sound that developed there. The sound Kel is trying to describe. There was truly a Rocky Mountain Way. 🎸

Hearing this aged 14 literally changed my life !

Paul Kossof used a Gibson Les Paul through a Marshall amp. Joe Walsh also used a Les Paul in James Gang and Rocky Mountain Way. Kel’s right those Les Paul guitars have a certain sound.

I got what she was saying about the quality of the sound of the guitar. The distortion is very similar. If it's the same type of guitar through the same type of amp, that makes perfect sense.

I don’t know what amp Joe used but one thing that was pretty unique about Paul live with Free is he uses a guitar and amp cranked up to 10. Most players at that time were increasing their pedals. I liked Paul’s style. Shame he passed so young. He did an amazing solo album called Back Street Crawler and then he was in heaven. Free had some great songs but radio only plays All Right Now of course.

I think what Kel is hearing is the classic Les Paul / Marshall sound - the kind of reedy, ballsy honking wail. It is most commonly associated with the Marshall "plexi" model of amp. The absolutely perfect example of this sound is Dickie Betts' solo on No Way Out on the Allman Brothers' Fillmore East album. It is the most amazing tone. It is also heard quite prominently on Frampton Comes Alive. It is something that even Les Paul himself remarked on. He said that no matter what guitarists might experiment with - stomp boxes, amp settings, whatever - they always return to that sound.

Great song to listen to when your driving a car or truck

You need to listen to free’s album ‘fire and water’ (just for yourselves) it’s a classic. Good find Kel! 🤘

Free had broken up and regrouped a couple of times and were hanging by a thread (if at all) when their guitarist, Paul Kosoff, died on a flight to New York. Drugs. Within a year, singer, Paul Rodgers, and drummer, Simon Kirke formed Bad Company and were signed immediately to Led Zeppelin’s new label, Sawn Song.

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your son Jered, may he R.I.P. and God keep him. My Brother and Sister in Law lost their son, he was a High School teacher. It's the hardest loss a soul can endure, May the Good Lord help you bare the pain.

Love her reaction, that was ours way back then.

The Hunter is my favourite Free song, saw them live many times 1968 onwards.

No bass for the first couple of minutes, then it comes in and the song takes off.

Paul Kossoff (Free guitarist) his unhappiness following the break up of Free and his drug addictions contributed to a drastic decline in his health. Kossoff died on a flight from Los Angeles to New York on 19 March 1976 age 25 from a pulmonary embolism after a blood clot in his leg moved to his lung, while touring America with Back Street Crawler. His body was returned to England and cremated at Golders Green Crematorium in North West London. His epitaph in the Summerhouse there reads: "All right now"

I absolutely love this reaction the way she looks at you and admires you and smiles what a great couple

love you two rock on

You reminded me with "Good Food!"", of something I found funny. There is a Chinese restaurant in Toronto, On. that used to be called the "Good Food" restaurant. But over the years the first "d" and the last "ood" fell off the store front. Their food was good and copious and was a popular place to go for poorer people to go as it was CHEAP!. When I lived in T.O. you knew what people meant when they said "See you at the Goof.".

i can tell you as a drummer this is a gas to play

Kel the guitar sound you enjoy is created by a distortion or overdrive pedal. The distorted sound was 1st used in 1964 by Dave Davies The Kinks on Really Got Me...I believe he damaged the speaker to make it distort!!
