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.

No gimmicks, no auto tune, nor even monitors just pure talent and true ability. What more can I say. Today's music is shit. These guys are barely in their 20s. Andy Fraser was 16 when they cut the first album, Kossoff 17 and Kirke and Rodgers 20. Hard to believe they were that good at such a young age!! Imagine what they could have done 10 years down the road??? A shame what happened to Koss!! A tremendous loss to the music world!!! Huj

Only hours later he talked about meeting me over the local radio and said "hey to the lady I just met on the beach, and now she and I are friends and she knows who she is." I was so honored to be called friends by him. And over the radio too. I did almost die right there and go to heaven. I was really was on cloud nine. ❤️

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.

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?!

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!!!😊❤
