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.

1970 was when I went to see them perform live at our local Jazz Club, and the guys were dressed just like they were in the video...that has just brought back some cool memories for me...but what a great band they were

Yeah, Andy’s playing was integral to their sound. Remove him and it completely changes. Instrumental trios (Free, Cream, James Gang, Doors) have the challenge of delivering a full and interesting sound, without the benefit of another instrument to flesh it out (rhythm guitar, keys).
