Nothing like 70s rock attire too lol dudes in knee high platform boots, kimonos and long hair with sideburns.. it always amazed me that even dressed like that these 1970s old school rock n rollers got all the chicks in their prime.
I'm 50-yrs old and I remember the end of the '70s. If Marty McFly shows up with the DeLorrean, I'm jumping back to the '90s and/or '70s with a 2-way ticket, man. 'I am BAD COMPANY till the day I die!!"
70 here and still rocking out, I grew up with this music, still amazing to think we had the Stones, Black Sabbath & Ozzy, Deep Purple etc... and a few have done this song, 5 fingered death punch is a favourite, but nobody does it like Paul Rogers KEEP ON ROCKIN FOLKS
Which nation? The band members are English, though I think they were most popular in the USA. Any way you look at it, Paul Rodgers was the ultimate front man.
I discovered bad company as a young teen back in the 70’s because I loved his voice in the song Alright Now when he was with Free. He’s a living Legend. I saw Bad Company 2 times in concert in the 70’s. 🖤🖤🖤
How could you not love a band that came off the starting block like they did? 1)Superstar line-up 2)#1album 3) label mates with zeppelin!! 4) management by Peter Grant same as zeppelin!! As you can see I am and will continue to be a fan!!
I am 57. I watched Don Kirchner a lot in the 1970s. I can't believe I missed this great Bad Co video in 1974. BTW, I have been a big Rock fan since "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road."
Bad Company is and always will be superb. Their music could really stir my blood and senses. Driving in my car listening to them was AMAZING! Their music has a seamless perfection. Tight and precise. Masterclass.
I Love This Song... Remember hearing it on the radio 📻 all the time in the 70s.. The US adopted this song for Special Forces in the late 70s early 80s.
What a sweet version! Vocals so strong and smooth, the bluesy element a la Steely Dan, drumming is crisp, fuzzy guitars have their place.. but Rodgers’ vocals! What a natural
One of the best rock bands, I listen to them for a long time and I have on vinyl several of their albums, excellent, this piece "bad Company" with the melodious voice of Paul Rodgers and on the piano, beautiful. Greetings from Bogotá Colombia
Cute rocker! Still is today. Lol. Grew up listening to these guys. Still do today. . . .Oh, the days of good rock! Thanks Bad Co. for the memories and great tunes. Cheers!
No it is not the end of the story! He is not only the best vocalist in the world but he also plays the piano harmonica guitar Paul Rodgers is a true artist oh! He also writes great lyrics! Anyway! Bad company just kicks ass! I had the privilege of them being the first band I ever saw live in concert in 1978 or 1979 at the baton rouge Assembly center or the LSU Assembly center not quite sure but I was 13 years old going on 14 front row seats the show was awesome! Thank God for Paul Rodgers!❤❤❤
Saw them three times in Memphis back in the late 70s. They were awesome on stage. And I'll never forget Paul in gold lame' bell bottom pants, shirt and gold hat. I was in the second row and took a picture of him but it didn't come out well, especially if you didn't have a 35MM camera. LOL! But I still have the photo bad or not.
You have a Bad photograph, you can’t deny, bad photograph TIL the day you die🤣 what a great recording this is. I’m jealous of you seeing BadCo at their prime.
Along with Free, Bad Co is my co-favourite band ever. I remember seeing them live on Liverpool Stadium in April 1974, a fantastic gig - and what a fantastic venue The Stadium was - saw Free there too in 1970. Sadly it's gone now. This video shows what a superb band they were live, a wonderfully tight set - and Paul Rodgers has, imo, the greatest rock/soul voice ever.....and still has ! Hope they tour again next year.
@@jayreed1493 I never mentioned anything about the album - I said I saw them live at the Stadium in April 1974, while on their UK tour. They played many if not all the songs on the forthcoming album.
That must have been insane,not only did the 70s have the best bands, but even the sound system sounded better in my opinion, saw zz top in 79, 11 yrs old, I was the only 11 yr old there, The sound was amazing, loud, clear, and crunchy. Hated the weird distorted 80s sound
@@timpenfield5 Couldn't agree more Tim - do you mean you saw ZZ Top at the Liverpool Stadium ? If so, that's brilliant and yes, the sound was fantastic there always ! Still waiting for their next gig wherever - if ever !
@@radhulbh1703 Liverpool? nah, Upstate N.Y. Very little culture up there back then, except rock bands coming in, even owning all a groups records was difficult, guys in the UK, LA, NY City etc... would have all the zep record, Queen, Who etc... Upstate NY, 1 or 2 of each group, Had all 9 of the zep records though rad, Peace, cheers
I had the privilege of seeing paul Rodgers play at a small venue in Solana beach california...THE BELLY UP TAVERN I think it was 1999..this club has a capacity of about 300...paul was wireless and roaming the room...as close as 10 feet from me...a rare treat to see him this close...as the band is usually playing sold out arenas..it was close to my 35th bday...and ranks as one of the best concerts I've ever seen...Paul's the man...
That’s Mick Ralphs, just months after leaving his longtime band Mott the Hoople. Ive always loved his melodic soloing. He’s also one of the best at filling both the lead and rhythm spaces when there’s no 2nd guitarist. (Paul Rodgers was a perfectly decent guitarist though, and he and Mick played that double solo on Can’t Get Enough.)
In those days, I saw Paul Rodgers live in concert or on an album cover and that's it. No social media hype to promote a below-average singer. I knew who he was from his days with Free but in 1974 everyone knew his name and how truly great he was. Bad Company and a waterbed are a steamy combination and many people who were born in the 70s have Paul Rodgers to thank for it. 🎉😘 🎉
If this video truly is from Darrel K Royal Stadium in 1974, I was there. The all-day, outdoor event was billed as "ZZ Top's First Annual Beer and BBQ". There never was a Second Beer and BBQ concert. Peter Frampton was there as well. It was miserably hot that late September day...that much I'll always remember.
I was at DKR that day, too, and what I can't figure out is that Bad Company was the first band to play, and it was still very much daylight...but this video looks like it was night time when it was recorded. (Bad Co. was the main act I wanted to see that day, but it was so damned miserable in the heat, I couldn't hardly enjoy it.)
Guys .. I’m pretty sure the “DKRC” in the description refers to Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert. When the camera pulls back at the end, the “Rock Concert” stage banner is visible.
If I could sing like Paul Rogers, I'd never speak again. Every single syllable would be sung. "I - Ay-heee-eye, am going, to, the caaa-heee-Yaaan, yeah!"
Kirke on those drums is awesome! And Rodgers vocals are LEGENDARY! The vocals comes so natural to him. The inflections and ad-libs are instinctual. He’s gifted more than talented I think. Paul Rodgers was BORN TO SING. And I’m so glad he does! I can’t imagine my life without his songs in it. Paul’s voice has accompanied me thru the majority of my 64 years. Bad Co’s “Straight Shooter” was the first album I ever owned - it was an 8-track. My girlfriend at the time (1975) asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I said I want two albums: “Straight Shooter” by Bad Company and “One Of These Nights” by The Eagles. She bought ‘em both for me. Those were the first two albums I ever owned. I quickly added Bad Co’s first album, “Bad Company”, to my growing collection, and bought every album they later released with Rodgers as their vocalist. I have ‘em all. And their last two studio albums produced before Paul left: “Desolation Angels” and “Rough Diamonds” have really grown on me as my appreciation for the songs included on those has only increased thru the years.
Exactly 4 years after their seminal album "Fire and Water" Kirke & Rodgers released this great album. The big difference for me was I bought it on release and later got 2 see them live, something I sadly didn't manage with Free.
Kos had the greatest vibrato I ever heard. They used those Orange amps with grinding sustain that made his Paul's sound just roll over me- wave after wave.
One of the most powerful voices to ever walk the planet !
Paul Rodgers was and is one of the best Rock vocalist ever to live. End of story!!
And he did it in a sheer, glittery, mid-riff bearing shirt! Beat that with a stick!
Still is, not past tense.
@@paulrich4274 Read my post more carefully.
My bad. Missed the is in your sentence, To busy listening to Bad Co. lol

Nothing like '70's rock music to set the standard.
Nothing like 70s rock attire too lol dudes in knee high platform boots, kimonos and long hair with sideburns.. it always amazed me that even dressed like that these 1970s old school rock n rollers got all the chicks in their prime.
@@eldiablo3794 You bring to mind George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic.
I'm 62, this is soooo wonderful to hear, we had it made in the 70s. I miss those days!!!!
i am 70 !!!!

I also miss those young years of mine. 59 here and still loving this the same. Never ages does it.

Paul Rogers a force of nature, a national treasure. 🎸🎶
INTERNATIONAL.
Which nation? The band members are English, though I think they were most popular in the USA. Any way you look at it, Paul Rodgers was the ultimate front man.
Well, now he's Canadian and lives in B.C.
The 70’s were the best time to live !
My mother could verify this is the all best song ever played.
Rest in peace Mom, your son never stopped loving you.
Your mother must have had a great life!
You're so precious 😢
She can't read this mate, she's dead.

Bad Company...a true rock band of all time ... By heart and soul...
How could you not love a band that came off the starting block like they did?
1)Superstar line-up
2)#1album
3) label mates with zeppelin!!
4) management by Peter Grant same as zeppelin!!
As you can see I am and will continue to be a fan!!
Don Kirschner's Rock Concert was a great show and turned me on to a lot of music.
Amazing how much his voice still sounds like it did back when this was done.
Incredible voice
@@dannym631 INDEED 🎶🎶🎶‼️
Tell them Paul…. Warn them …. Best Jukebox Song in the 70’s…. And Buddy…. Ladies loved dancing to this…
Beam me back to the 1970s. Superb.
If you beam back to the70s can I come with you?
Me too!!
Please front row?
Don't forget me too.😊
Today hes 67 and his vocals are the same if not better.....True Legend
I am 57. I watched Don Kirchner a lot in the 1970s. I can't believe I missed this great Bad Co video in 1974.
BTW, I have been a big Rock fan since "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road."
One of my top 5 bands of all time . God I forgot how hot he was ! His voice is like butter . You can listen to it forever
Laurie Testa he still is - I think he aged like wine!
I hear this every single day ☺🎸🎹🎶🎼🎵🎧
Great voice and easy on the eyes!
Facts 💯
Hmmmm.....I didn't know that chicks were in to super skinny dudes that wear blouses. He's a great singer though, and I love their music.
Never get tired of listening to that dude sing.
Paul Rodgers singing one of the ultimate songs. This is how rock and roll should sound!!!!!!!!!!!°☝👍🎸🎹🎤👌
Bad Company is and always will be superb. Their music could really stir my blood and senses. Driving in my car listening to them was AMAZING! Their music has a seamless perfection. Tight and precise. Masterclass.
I Love This Song... Remember hearing it on the radio 📻 all the time in the 70s.. The US adopted this song for Special Forces in the late 70s early 80s.
I was fortunate enough to see Paul with Bad Company in the 70's, The Firm in the 80's and his Hendrix set in the 90's.
THE singer for the ages.
Simon Kirke is the world best hard rock Drummer in Europe & the world.

One of the best Bands ever !!

He's a rock and soul singer !

Back in the day when I loved men with long hair, He was one fine looking man and boy can he sing.
I am never a bad company fan... until i hear Paul Rodgers voice, dude is top 10 all time.
I liked him in Free better, his voice is amazing!

I love Mick Ralphs guitar playing,so soulful and deep.one of my favorite guitar players!
I can't stop watching this video, Paul Rodgers is really magical
That guitar sound. It's like a freight train comin at you.

What a vocalist.
The 70’s were the best !!
That first “bad company” damn! The man’s vocals are awe-inspiring
Это просто супер! Мне 64, сегодня подобного нет и вряд ли будет!
Greatest band of the 70s
I still listening bad company, s s9ngs. Iluv this group eversince
Great recording. I bought that album when it came out and all tracks are great.

Paul Rodgers and Lou Gramm
how Paul rogers is not in the rock hall of fame is beyond my understanding.........
I remember seeing them in the early 70's . Awesome 💯
The man has managed to keep his range after all these years.
I bow my head out of respect to this great song and live performance.
Coolest voice 😎
I miss that time. Simply the maximum !!!!!
Kirke was a great gonzo style drummer. As a drummer, myself, I find it interesting the way he holds his sticks so high up in his palms
What a great singer, and what a great song. Deceptively complex for a four-square rock tune.
Gorgeous man and what a voice!
this is definitively how you should remember this song
Paul Rodgers is the world best hard rock master Lead Vocalist in Europe & the world.
A great combination of playing and singing!!!! These guys sound great, excellent, and any other word that fits 👩🏻🏫👏🏻🎶🎶🎶🎶🥰‼️
One of my top ten favorite song.
By far the BEST EVER!!

Thank you so much for uploading. Wonderful to watch and listen to them at their peak
Awesome song. Awesome band.
Pulled a lot of smoke up the tube listening to this in the old days. Today, I just listen & remember back tho. LoL
If I could sing 1/100th as good as Paul, I'd be awesome. He's a legend. Bad Company Forever.
In his 70s Paul still has it!
I’m amazed at the sound quality of this video! Rock on Paul Rogers!!
Live . Amazing. Great band with the best singer. None better.
Original line up, love it
Rock n Roll Outlaw music 'till the day I die!
This is way back. Great sound then/now.
Great song...one of my favorites. 🎸🎶🎙🥁👏
Absolute blast from the past. Thanks for the vid.
My favourite band.👍
Thanks for posting. Now it's time to get my 62 year old butt outa this chair and go smoke a bowl!
Wait for me.
Anytime
Hell yeah 🤙🏻
I already did that today. Work was canceled so I said "Why not?".
And yes I realise I am 4 years late with my comment.
To me Paul is in the top 10 rock vocalists if not better !! Still sounds great !
Great song🎉😊
Best male rock vocalist
Rock was simple and easy. And enjoyed years ago.. i miss the old bands..
Absolute Legend's. Simple as that !!
Good morning to all my Bad Companions
Sometimes I have to just hear Paul Rodgers - either w/ Free or... this - thanks!
Exactly 4 years after their seminal album "Fire and Water" Kirke & Rodgers released this great album. The big difference for me was I bought it on release and later got 2 see them live, something I sadly didn't manage with Free.
Kos had the greatest vibrato I ever heard. They used those Orange amps with grinding sustain that made his Paul's sound just roll over me- wave after wave.
Was in my sophomore yr high school! But was a popular song back then..
Much better than remembered!
BADEST BAND IN THE UNIVERSE BELIEVE ME I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. I LOVE PAUL RODGERS 4 EVER AND A DAY!!👩🍳👰🤦♀️😎💋💋💋💋💋😇😇💖😍🤩😎
I'm always amazed at how many 70s bands were comprised of dweebs and fruits with amazing musical talent.
