I cant believe Rodgers is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He's been the worlds top vocalist for the past 40 years.

hey kids... that's what a real band sounds like.🎸🥁🎤🎸😎

Gorgeous song. Gorgeous times. So organic, live and real. No gimmicks, pedals, front monitors . . . nothing. Just raw talent. And, of course, Paul Rodgers at the centre with his masterful vocals.

So soulful, organic, honest and pure, and all of them between 18 and 20 years of age when this was performed and recorded. Doesn't get any better than this, folks -- 4 young guys writing all of their own songs and performing them live with no gimmicks, no live monitors, no fancy light/stage shows. Just to reitererate, Free were using amateur equipment here with no live monitors in front of around 600, 000 people . . . WOW! Can you imagine any young band doing this now? Don't think so. GR8 band!

The days of classic rock like this are gone forever. Sad but true.

Not one person on this planet can beat this voice ever.

The best track in the history of music. fucking stunning.

That's why he is known and called in the music industry as "The Voice"

Speechless............. Probably the best rock band EVER.....

Kosoff's guitar gives me goosebumps, and Paul Rodgers voice has as much soul as Otis Redding or Wilson Pickett, The bass and drums are a solid unit tighter than granite

Koss's playing just make me wanna weep.

As a 15 year old I was sat somewhere in the crowd I am 60 and will never Forget it IOW festival great days great band

This stuff is epic and sadly we will never see it again.

Love the sound of Paul's voice, Nobody can sing like that but him.

Man, I wish this type of music would get a come back... :(

Paul Rodgers. That rock voice, unbelievable.

flows like honey..... RIP Paul Kossof

Kossof & Rodgers at their best , can't beat 70s rock , great music 🎶👍👍👍👌

God that guy can sing. Rips your heart out

When MUSIC had a soul ...

Thank the lord this music is preserved in some way. I’d almost lost all hope. Magnificent

I've listened to this one probably a hundred times, and I never get sick of it. this is music, baby! with real soul, that's what it's all about.

This song always gives me hope.

If Kossoff was alive today, he could show many guitarists how to play the guitar with so much fitness so under rated but so great

*It blows my mind that the band was so young and played with so much soul and how they are NOT in the r.n.r h.o.f is absolutely fn ` ridiculous!!*

I'm sitting here, head nodding in time, just as I was 54 years ago, on a hot day at the IOW Festival. Wonderful.

Slow blues with buckets of soul. Fantastic.

Jeez! They were sooo good!

Music that reaches your heart and soul, possibly more so now than when I was teenager. Paul Rodger’s voice is sublime and the best there is 🤩

The guitar solo is one of my all time favorites. So much feeling in this one.

They had such a clever gimmick: just get the best singer, then add the best guitarist, bassist and drummer. Seems like it worked. It helped that the audience weren't interfering, they were actually listening. Band sets the mood, everybody shares it. Beautiful!

Rodgers' voice at its best. The man was flawless back then.

I thought I was the only one who remembered this band and loved this song! You really can find anything on youtube! Great song!

The finest band to ever grace these British Isles.

Love Paul Rogers....saw him singing live with Bad Company in 1975....amazing!

Great song by a great band....Koss had soul...this band were very special!!!!!

I love Paul Rodgers voice. What a great Musician!!

Precise, clean, elegant music to highlight the soulful voice of the best blues - rock voice ever.

Kossoffs tone is wonderful.... such great playing by him and the band. Best in the business

Absolutely Orgasmic!! 💜🎼👏🏻👏🏻

No one cooler than Andy Fraser, look at those epic shades!

They were so so good ! That tone and rhythm just beautiful and timeless ! I am 64 now and sounds as fresh as relevant as when I first heard it 👌😎

Goosebumps every time

Baby baby be my friend. Good to see Paul

This band.......that voice..........

Paul is on fire 🔥

Hats and hearts off to KOSS!!!!

coolest band on the planet in their day

Probably their best and most enduring song.

Love this song…it says so much 💕

Out of this world! The singing, the bass, the guitar, the drumming!

I used to think of this man as my future husband when i was young! At least i got their albums! MUSIC FOR MY SOUL!!!

Hearing this makes me sad of how popular music has deteriorated so much since then. Nothing is played or written with soul or feeling anymore, no emotion, no uniqueness, everything is over-produced and bland and all sounds the same. No one has desire to play actual real instruments, they'd rather let a computer do it all for them so they don't have to. And what's worse is they don't even have to have a great voice due to auto-tune. No this music, the music of Free and incredible groups like them, are lost to the sands of time. Thank goodness we have KZfaq so we can relive the golden era of music, when talented young musicians were making history and moving millions across the world instead of "dropping beats" and "sampling" someone else's work to call their own as they do today.

AMAZING TALENT! Timeless. ❤️

What an emotional song. It doesn't get any better than this. RIP Koss

Best band ever and Paul is still rockin' it!

I had a colleage from London. Back in the day as a teen she was a huge fan of Free and would always see them life in the London club scene . Such a pity how Paul Kossofs life ended so tragically at such an early age. His Father David Kossoff, a well known British movie actor, would travel the schools afterwards warning the young people of the dangers of drug abuse

Best ever blues guitarist. Sad loss, poor lost soul in the drugs hell. Wouldn't it have been great if he had survived. Saw the band in the '70s.....awesome!!!

There was no other band like um and there never will be❤

Czesto powracam do tego utworu . Gitara , wokal zachwycajace !

I thought that I was the only one on Earth who felt like this!! There was actually another REAL down to Earth person like me?? Wow. And everything he's saying is how I feel, and the guarantee he is proclaiming, is like me too! I am always too much of a giver. A sucker, really. Yeah, Barbra Streisand's song, Evergreen, says it all about love, "seldom seen by two". Meaning, that it's usually only ONE person who loves the most in a relationship or friendship, and I'm usually the one doing most or all of the trying, or the loving. There is a man, a performer, (a singer), who I love very much, and I can't help it, and even though he is a polite good hearted man, I don't know if he fully understands how much of a grip he has on me?!

Voice and guitar cry - impressive, touching the heart

So so so.............. so so so gooooooooood

Andy Frazer was just 18 at the time. One of the Great Bass Players and also fantastic Songwriter.

A beautiful soul singing a beautiful song !!❤

oh to be alive then. To have so many great bands producing great music unlike now. So sad really... Genius

How good the music was those days Good men

One of my Favorite Bands

If i had a time machine that i could use one time, i would go back to this concert and tell the camera men to record Kossoff during the solo.

amazing band,paul has a incredible voice

Free was just pure Rock! Just so damn Raw and Bad-Ass, have to love this cut!

who is listening in 2018? love this song and band.

Love this on so many levels - nothing better!

Very Very Very cool song... I love Paul Rodgers vocals on this song.....

Paul Rodgers to me is #1 as far as rock & roll vocalist! If he’s not in the Hall Of Fame there’s something definitely wrong with that!!

As a seventy ear old man this still hits all my senses, just like the first time I heard it, what a great band. his music was raw and at its best. Before this gig very few knew their music, just so great to hear this live music again.

pur music, no gimmicks.

Look at the drum kit. Awesome what rhythm he gets out of it and look at behind which massive drum sets they are sitting now and are not that much better. :D Also an awesome bass player. Most important parts in a band: A flawless rhythm section. Simon Kirke and Andy Frasier.

Such a great feeling listening to Free!

it do not get better than this

Beautiful songs..just love Free

It's just an all time great performance. Rodgers voice he's singing so within himself, but with wonderful control, mood, emotion, style. Everything.Everything. His hair is annoying him with that breeze blowing it in his face - but what a mane. Good to see Clapton in the background taking photos. LOL.!!

Thinking back 50 years, this record stood out to me as having a great lyric, (which you could attribute to a brother you are concerned about), superb piano (Andy Fraser) harmonising with Paul Rogers vocal. I also like Paul Kossoff guitar, and the strings accompaniment.

Isle of Wight 1970..super stuff

Melhor que todas as outras versões. Tudo perfeito !

I am your friend . . . Will always be your friend . . . Strong and true love.

Just go back in your mind. Think about it. That one person who loved unconditionally. You can have that again. They are still out there. 3:46 still

My Favourite song of All time by anyone paul rodgers' voice on this is astonishing & uncanny guitar from Koss wonderful performance song&performance pebstill brings tears to my eyes & I'm 61 😢but I adoreethis song so much other vocalist don't get close not Plant but he was very very good Chris stapletonhas a lot of soul I like him lot too but even he comes nowhere close to this simply wonderful ❤️

Just searched: "Free Mr Big Covers"....amd here you are! OK I'm 11yrs behind, which makes us both 11yrs older(!), but this song/this Band is/are timeless!! What a terrific cover: Well Done You👏 I'm gunna search out an Andy Fraser Bass cover: he was sublime. For some reason, even as an 11yr old girl, l'd already found that l was into a guitar sound. Never like Osmonds/Bay City Rollers et al (my makes thought l was weird), but loved a bit of Glam: who didn't love Slade back in the day?! Biggest regret: never learning to play a guitar. Mind you we were hardly encouraged to do so at my S.E London Comprehensive back in '72....nearest we got to an instrument was a Gazoo, a Tambourine and a Recorder!😂😂 Cut my teeth on listening to my next-sister-up's vinyl while she was at work: Traffic, Eric Burden & War, Santana, Jethro Tull. The Faces were my own go-to once I found them on TOTPs in '71 (first ever gig at 13❤❤❤): loved the Ronnie's' sound. I've got a very eclectic taste in music ranging from Ska to my absolute favourites, The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Had the fortune to see many line-ups since my first T.Birds gig at 19: Marquee, Wardour St. Ticket probably cost me a fiver!😂 Jimmie Vaughan/Nick Curran/Kirk Fletcher/Jonny Moeller....all brilliant. But there's something about PK & AF, plus SK mixed with Paul Rodgers voice that optimises British Rock at its best. Very raw, honest sound. IMO the early 70s in London was the absolute best place to grow up as a teenager....in fact I'm still trying to get my husband to move on as he's firmly stuck there!!!😊❤

So much soul and talk about bringing a song to life, Koss and Rodgers at their best... Love it...

All right now is the classic and remembered Free song BUT... this is Free at their best.

Beautiful 😍 love u ❤️ koss

Paul is still great! One of his more recent CDs is always in my car player!

The key to the sound of the blues rock band Free is guitarist Paul Kossoff. Kossoff's fierce vibrato is the best of its time. 대한민국에서

Jedna z najlepszych kapel lat 70. Absolutne piękno

best brit male voice i ever heard

Gooooooooooooodddddddddddd !!!!!!!!!!!! This is Heaven on Earth... I love these guys music.. Soooooooooooooooo much... To the very end :-)

Still got some of their albums on records but nothing to play them on these days! Hell, they were great! Don't see any like them today.

Timeless, awesome track, Free at their best...

ANY FRiEND CaN BE your frieND but you can't fight the friend in your owNsELF.... That's the oNLY FRiEND you can ever HaVe🤘🤘🤘🤘.
