    I don't have enough thumbs... Andy Fraser was an unheralded master of the electric bass. I was lucky enough to see this band in their prime, yet I can never get enough of these TV spots. Thank you for posting this.

    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!

    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.

All Art & Culture has degenerated to the point of putrefaction in the last 50 years with only bands like Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, Kings of Leon, The Eagles and The Killers resisting the downward descent.@@anniebeeee

    Couldn't agree more. It's easy to listen to just one of them for the whole song and just as easy to listen to the song as the 4 of them playing together as a band. Something magical and rare going on here for sure.

    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.
