FREE - All Right Now (Doing Their Thing, 1970) Official Live FOLLOW FREE: Official Website: Facebook: / freebandofficial Publisher: www.PrimaryWave.com
Oh, we (I was born in 2001) are also lucky people, because we were born after that time, and thanks to the Internet, CDs and streaming we can discover these great classics
No thinking required. It is, by consensus, by acclaim, and without a doubt, one of the all-time great rock songs. Signature tune by a killer band with a helluva front man.
I was 20 years old when this song came out and had just bought my first car. Every time I got in it to drive All Right Now would play on the radio. So now at 71 years old when I hear this song I go right back to the memory of driving my first car and I'm 20 years old again...
My 1st car didn't have a radio. I installed an 8 track tape player, hooked it up so I didn't need the key to play it, and connected a couple of old box speakers that came with a house stereo that crapped out on me. The car was a station wagon so room was not a problem. Sounded pretty good as it turned out.
@@gilliankingston8259 at least we've got u tube to watch all our great music on, it would be hell if we just had to ensure todays total rubbish day in day out.
In the 76 years of my existence this is the best rock track ever. Never tire of listening to it. Vocals, exceptional guitar work , outstanding drumming and base playing combined with a driving passionate performance and overall tone. Simply SUPERB
That is what I would call gifted talent ! From the school of hard knocks 60 & 70 has been the best time for rock & popular music !? Now the music has no soul ❤❤❤❤
Paul Rodgers was good, yes, but for me its Andy Fraser all the way. If I could play bass I;d want to be able to play like that. FREE were a great band - bigger than the sum of the parts, none of them quite so good after breaking up.
The Concert Rocker musicians, Played HARD, break allot of strings, sticks and bass strings playing, these days players, barly touch the strings rely on amp power.
@@deanladue5367 Get real.. Clapton played miles above what Kossoff could ever deliver, years before.. on Beano and Cream albums. Eric´s vibrato - while we´re at it - was and still is untouchable. Kossoff, Green .. 2nd tier to EC, Jeff Beck and Page. All are not huntsmen, who can blow a huntman´s horn... you see ?
The way Andy Fraser rocks side to side ~ front to back while playing the bass is so darn cool, especially with his classy outfit and hat. Can’t believe he’s only 18yrs young here…Omg. We grew them talented back then!!! 💗
Dont know how the audience can sit so still listening to this amazing song. Im 68 years young now and jumping about shaking my head like i did when i was a teenager. Fab band
Yeah, I know what you mean...I was watching Deep Purple with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra..... Concerto for Group & Orchestra conducted by Malcolm Sargeant, recently. (Three movements by Jon Lord......It's on YT)(1969) Royal Albert Hall. The vocals by Ian Gillen will raise the hairs on your neck....believe me. The public were amazingly calm and sat so still..... (A few exceptions!) They were rather subdued to say the least....(lots of cigarette smoke though!) The crescendo would have had me on my feet...back then..... and now, even at 70! (But what a blessed relief...no idiotic waving of cell phones! ) I thoroughly suggest you watch it Paul, you will thank me later, I'm sure! Cheers.
Paul Ringwood, I know the feeling well, we come from the same time my friend 60s 70s music will live through the echo,s of time, teaching my grandkids the music of my life, their get it thank the GOD,S OF ROCK AND ROLL, BLUE,S . PEACE BE WITH YOU MY FRIEND.✌️✌️✌️😎😎😎🏴🏴🏴🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
i got to see Bob Dylan in 1966 at the TV studio as the audience ( i was 9 , my aunt worked there ) and it was drilled into us if we got up for any reason we would be escorted out of the studio , no whistling no singing unless prompted by the signs , i guess it was the same there
If only the audience knew what kind of music and TV would be on TV 45 years later they would have made more of seeing a fabulous live performance like this.
And that’s saying something - but true. If I were to try to explain Rock and Roll to an alien - I would play this - and say this - this is Rock and Roll. 🍎❤️💋🎼🍺🌿🥃🎸🥹

Saw Paul Rogers leap up and landed on both feet to stand on a piano in Phoenix in the 1990's while performing this. His voice and physicality blew my mind!
IM LOOKING for 80s song nappers Have not found 1 yet on this song, But this was 1970 lol , You would be shocked to know how many 70s songs are claimed by 80s KIDS
Paul Rodgers is still my no.1 favourite vocalist, everybody loved Free. The simple romantic lyrics; the song was a hit twice in the UK from 1969 and also accompanied a new car tv advert.
Holy shit, this is incredible. I've taken this song for granted for decades but seeing these guys play it live is a revelation. This is a formidable band.
If I didn't know better, both Andy on Bass & Paul K on Guitar looked high & flying just a jammin on their instruments while Simon was beating those skins like they owed him some money. Of course the vocals by Paul Rodgers were stellar. Great live rendition. Real music made by real musicians.
P. K. was a Unicorn!! Without question he had the deadliest vibrato in rock….even to this day!! The fact that he played like that on a ponderous LP neck is even more amazing! Loved that band!! 🤟🤟
Talk about influential. This song shook everything up and changed rock and roll. It inspired thousands to learn bass, thousands to learn guitar, and thousands of singers.
You're overstating its influence. This is after The Kinks, after The Who, after Zeppelin's 1st album, after CREAM WHITE ROOM, and of course after THE BEATLES. Chillax newbs. This is one of hundreds and hundreds of hard rock songs by 1970.
This performance has so much raw energy, blows me away. Plus Paul Rodgers has one of the best rock/blues voices I have ever heard. Totally live, no overdubs. The early 70''s was a very unique time period.
Hello friends around the world veri sad for the dead of Taylor Hawkins front the bottom of my heart I give to my son a big hug and say how much I love my friends I recommended that you give to the people really loved 🤘long life to ROCK
It’s unbelievable to think that this classic is over 50 years old! Paul Rodgers has no equal as a rock vocalist, his voice is like a miracle, it’s as if he was chosen by God to sing rock songs! What can you say about Paul Kossoff? His tone and vibrato is pure genius, and you can tell that he inspired so many guitarists, RIP Koss. Andy Fraser wrote the music to this song, apparently in 10-15 minutes and Rodgers the lyrics! Incredible that they were all so young here, and Andy, the youngest had only just turned 18, and was already a phenomenal bassist! Simon Kirke’s drumming is just mind blowing and powerful! Simon is 20 (almost 21) Paul Rodgers was still only 20, Kossoff 19 and as mentioned Fraser 18. That’s insane to be this good when so young, Free were surely one of the greatest lineups of all time!
I have a little story.Simon and occasionally Koss would turn up at a hang out in Richmond called L'auberge,it was a good cafe that many 'heads'frequented.You could always score there.(it's a Nandos now next to the cinema.Free's first single was "Broad Daylight" which a couple of us clubbed together and bought to put on the jukebox.We'd wait till we saw Simon arriving and put it on,only to be told he couldn't stand the record and the rest of the band didn't think much of it either .It failed to chart.Their next single was"All Right Now" and the rest is history.They never stopped recording and touring and we lost touch with them.Koss was actually seeing a friend of mine called Angie in Richmond when he sadly died on a plane coming back from America.
When I was a radio officer in the British Merchant Navy back in the midd sixties, the three deck cadets and I would have FREE evenings where we listened to Free on my portable record player.. those were good days…🙂👍
I mean we got bad company out of it all, I always looked at Free as an early version of that band, kinda like how The yardbirds turned into Led Zeppelin
I tell ya...it doesn't get much better than that...if at all. Excellent, even 50+ years later. This came out when I was 11 years old...and now at 64, it still rocks hard.
in my exp., bassists never did their part correctly... funny story, many moons ago i was producing an LP at a facility that also has rehearsal studios (Secret Studios in San Francisco)... was taking a toke break strolling the corridors and could hear a band playing this but the bassist only stayed in the first position A-F# and wasn't doing the signature bass riff ... against my better judgement, the indignant bassist in me knocked on the door and insisted their bassist let me show him how to properly play this bassline... if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.
This has got to be one of my top 5 favorite rock vocal performances ever. Amazing. And the band around the singer could not be any tighter. Great, great performance.
I'm 56 and this almost brought me to tears.A lot of my friends from those days gone by are gone too.I'm just happy to have had them and this music in my life.Many very happy memories!!!
@ChiefShittingBull I would love to go back knowing what I know now and have a go at it all again. I grew up in Southern California seeing all the groups at concerts that cost like $10.00 and heard a lot of the groups when they were starting on the Strip Long Beach Auditorium Long Beach other concert place The Forum Santa Monica Civic Paladium Troubadour The Whiskey McCabes and even Santa Monica College and other places.
Same here Keith, I'm 56, and All of the coolest people I hung with, uncles, cousins,and friends where usually older than me and they're All gone, I hung with them because they loved the same music I did.
Rock and roll will never die, it will be played on and on. The 70's was the best error for Rock n roll music ever, we were lucky to enjoy the best error of music! Rock roll will never die!🤘🎶
damn, 60s and 70s rock n roll is just too fuckin good. i wasnt born until damn near the 90s and even I think 60s and 70s was the pinnacle of rock music.
Paul Rodgers, the front man's frontman. Been a huge fan of the voice since 1970. Paul Kossoff a classically trained guitarist. Even Eric Clapton was in awe of his vibrato style. Andy Fraser, the Guvnor bass player. Simon Kirke, a no nonsense rock drummer. Free one of the most underated bands ever. I loved them, still do 50 years on.
Ain't gonna happen Will. Thnx 4 yr sentiments; but Paul Roger's best vocalist then n now. Andy Frazier was 16 when he was drafted. All my girlfriends've loved Simon Kirk until this day. Too bad about about Paul's issue. He Inadvertently fathered Bad Company until Mr Rodger's needed a new neighborhood. If John Cougar appreciates 'em; I do more. Git dwn!
Holy F%$*.... I can't believe how great this is live. So RAW !! Hard to put into words the amazing overall feeling of the seventies...overbearing joy exuding through one's heart and soul.
I was too young for concerts in 1970 , but I did get to see Paul Rodgers live in Houston , Tx. with Bad Company in 1978 and after 300 plus Rock concerts under my belt , I still say that he had the best live vocals of any lead singer in Rock hands down !

This is real music.
70’s music will last forever. I feel privileged to have grown up listening to it.

It's 2023 and I STILL LOVE THIS SONG!
NEVER BE ANYTHING BETTER.
Me too 😊
No pedals, no delays, not even reverb - and he still sounds massive and fills such a wide sonic frequency. Paul Kosoff - truly incredible talent
I'm 71 and I still love them!!!
a family friend of mine was in a band with him!
Guess that's a Les Paul and a Marshall/Orange (Marshall with a bit more top) for you
The only other musician with such talent would be Dimebag Darrell.
It sounded like the drummer was using a double bass pedal for a second. Maybe he was just using Bonzo's technique.
These guys were really young when they broke big. Paul Rodgers was 20 in this video. Bassist Andy Fraser was 18. Phenomenal talents.
Genius
The guitarist was 19/20 in the video as well.... he would die just 6 years later.
This was in June 1970, so Frasier is still 17, and Kossoff is 19 here.
who was the drummer he lost 5 pounds playing this 1 song lol@@jdmresearch
53 years ago and they fuckin rock,love it!!!
I was 16 in ‘70 and Free was like Zeppelin…a daily dose of blues rock for me.
In the 76 years of my existence this is the best rock track ever. Never tire of listening to it. Vocals, exceptional guitar work , outstanding drumming and base playing combined with a driving passionate performance and overall tone. Simply SUPERB
Music from the GODS, jim.
And Paul is insanely good as a front man.
Couldn't agree more it has the works with extra fries on the side and the louder the better.
That is what I would call gifted talent ! From the school of hard knocks 60 & 70 has been the best time for rock & popular music !? Now the music has no soul ❤❤❤❤
❤ lindo my friend
This is one of those songs that never, ever, fails to make me smile. 50+ years later it's still one of the best rock vocal performances I know.

What can you say about Paul Kossoff? His tone and vibrato is pure genius, and you can tell that he inspired so many guitarists, RIP Koss.
Andy Fraser wrote the music to this song, apparently in 10-15 minutes and Rodgers the lyrics! Incredible that they were all so young here, and Andy, the youngest had only just turned 18, and was already a phenomenal bassist!
Simon Kirke’s drumming is just mind blowing and powerful!
Simon is 20 (almost 21) Paul Rodgers was still only 20, Kossoff 19 and as mentioned Fraser 18.
That’s insane to be this good when so young, Free were surely one of the greatest lineups of all time!
Heute würden die das mit einem Computer machen . Furchtbar 😢😢😢
@@wernergitschel8173
Ja, so wahr, es ist komplett gefälscht.
Yessir!
I have a little story.Simon and occasionally Koss would turn up at a hang out in Richmond called L'auberge,it was a good cafe that many 'heads'frequented.You could always score there.(it's a Nandos now next to the cinema.Free's first single was "Broad Daylight" which a couple of us clubbed together and bought to put on the jukebox.We'd wait till we saw Simon arriving and put it on,only to be told he couldn't stand the record and the rest of the band didn't think much of it either .It failed to chart.Their next single was"All Right Now" and the rest is history.They never stopped recording and touring and we lost touch with them.Koss was actually seeing a friend of mine called Angie in Richmond when he sadly died on a plane coming back from America.
Steve Perry's voice is the best rock voice!
"Lets move before they raise the parking rate". Rock and roll wisdom.
1973 Paul Rodgers formed Bad Company. Another great band with six platinum albums in nine years. What a talented musician!!
When that bass comes in, wow. What a performance.
He wrote😱😱😱😱the song with Paul Rodger👍😱😱😱
Andy Fraser and POUL Roger wrote the song👍👍🙌
I am 75 years old👍👍👍👍I live in music since 1968
Andy Fraser was 17 or 18 in this video. He was a bass prodigy.
One of THE most iconic voices in the history of rock and so envied by the majority of his peers.
That's why He became Pages Frontman.
Could not of said it better!
Leslie here,what a great start of the’70s!! Rocking jam!!
Rock on and Peace
🎶🎸🔥😁⚜️☮️💋
if you like this you might like my brother’s music. his name is Stu Morris and 'Daisy' is a good song by him.
When I was a radio officer in the British Merchant Navy back in the midd sixties, the three deck cadets and I would have FREE evenings where we listened to Free on my portable record player.. those were good days…🙂👍
This is the magic that happens when a metal guitarist, a punk drummer, an R&B bassist and an extremely versatile voice come together
Metal guitarist? .. LOL. nope.
Metal?? Kossof?? Nah, he was the smoothest, rock&roll/ blues guitarist of his era. A legend.
Punk drummer? There was no "punk" in 1970. Quit making shite up.
Paul Rogers is smiling towards the end of the song because he knows he has a killer band! It’s a shame it didn’t last longer. They were really good! 😊
I saw free at festival hall melbourne in 1971 along with deep purple!
I mean we got bad company out of it all, I always looked at Free as an early version of that band, kinda like how The yardbirds turned into Led Zeppelin
He's smiling because they mess up in the timing to get back after the solo break and the drumming saved it ...
@@kipleyjazztrio Interesting mate, how can yo tell that?
69 and still rocking always will. It's in my soul.
THIS is the Mr Rogers that I grew up with!! ❤❤❤
2023....phenomenal artists
ABSOLUTELY LOVE this song!!!!! Why is the audience so stoic and motionless!!! How can you not be on your feet and dancing!!! Brilliant tune!!!!
Especially watching him dance all over the floor. I’d be rocking out dancing my rear end off. I certainly did when I saw them the crowd was loving it
The audience was part of the TV production. They probably were told to dress a certain way and behave a certain way.
This IS "FREE", can not find a better definition than this video.
Absolute Monster band! All at the top of their game and super talented!
Memories beyond belief. Dang, that was excellent.
Paul, at the ripe old age of 21 here! Sang like he had lived a hundred lives…ridiculously talented all 4 of them.
Best band in history.
professonal! not just talented! unlike the 21 year olds pretending today.
@Vim Fuego strange comment
@@Phoebedumplings seemingly
Wasn't Andy Fraser bass 17 or 18 here? Not sure.
Why is nobody talking about the bass player. One of the best in my opinion.
Andy is the flag bearer along side Mr Geezer Butler Imho
He is up there with cliff burton for sure
He was a prodigy. He was just a kid at this point.
Andy Fraser-yep, that solo in Mr. Big is still one for the ages-kickin' ass on this one as well!
What was he looking at lol 💁🏻♀️😆
And then became the famous Bad Company! Love Love Loved me some Paul Rogers! He’s still beautiful today and going strong!
No one can touch this today unbelievably talented band so smooth
Todays "so called "music is utter garbage.
Most definitely well put so great full l can Google the best music that we love
@@johnmarlega38 better make the most of it before the woke brigade think it's to good for us.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Check out gaost hounds
Greatest guitar riff ever played. I think most people even today know this song.
The band I play bass in covers this song. It's so fun.
My God the tone that Paul kossoff is pulling out of that 1959 Gibson les paul burst is unreal. F'N amazing.
I tell ya...it doesn't get much better than that...if at all. Excellent, even 50+ years later. This came out when I was 11 years old...and now at 64, it still rocks hard.
All Right Now the greatest rock song ever Paul and the band were brilliant
There was a long time when every club band had to play this song.
with good reason!
in my exp., bassists never did their part correctly... funny story, many moons ago i was producing an LP at a facility that also has rehearsal studios (Secret Studios in San Francisco)... was taking a toke break strolling the corridors and could hear a band playing this but the bassist only stayed in the first position A-F# and wasn't doing the signature bass riff ... against my better judgement, the indignant bassist in me knocked on the door and insisted their bassist let me show him how to properly play this bassline... if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.
Every good club and pub band still does.
The vibrato and tone of Paul Kossoff's guitar is insane ..
This has got to be one of my top 5 favorite rock vocal performances ever. Amazing. And the band around the singer could not be any tighter. Great, great performance.
SIMPLY THE BEST, EVER.
A young Paul Rogers? I'm impressed! Charismatic stage presence! These fellas were awesome!🤙🎸
Paul Kossoff rip - one of the greatest guitar solos ever!!
absolutely agree
Paul's dad gave me a bollickin for fuck!n up his photocopying..........happy daze
I'm 56 and this almost brought me to tears.A lot of my friends from those days gone by are gone too.I'm just happy to have had them and this music in my life.Many very happy memories!!!
@ChiefShittingBull I would love to go back knowing what I know now and have a go at it all again. I grew up in Southern California seeing all the groups at concerts that cost like $10.00 and heard a lot of the groups when they were starting on the Strip Long Beach Auditorium Long Beach other concert place The Forum Santa Monica Civic Paladium Troubadour The Whiskey McCabes and even Santa Monica College and other places.
Same here Keith, I'm 56, and All of the coolest people I hung with, uncles, cousins,and friends where usually older than me and they're All gone, I hung with them because they loved the same music I did.
I went to the same clubs and arenas saw b.o.c. and pat Travers 4 6 but at ucla pauly pavilion
FOR REALLY HONEY. We're survivors THAT got to see kick ass rock n roll
@@monatoney3474 I'm 75 been there did that. It was the gratest of times. Long live.SD&RR
The best era in music and entertainment. The generation after the 70s wouldn't know how brilliant it was.
Paul Kossoff, what a legend....... 🎸
I absolutely love the bass guitar in this song. Andy Fraser was a genius.
All bass players are....
I believe he wrote the song. Very clever bass player - what he didn't play was as important as what he did play.
@@2011littlejohn1 to my knowledge he did write the song. That’s what I meant by he was a genius. He doesn’t get nearly as much credit, sadly.
RIP
... he appears so young
I've always loved the bass element in this song
I think Andy's about 17 or 18 years old here. Youthful genius.
17 in 1970~ The finest music~ ever ! So happy I grew up when it was so “Groovy” !🌸
BEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES, ID GO BACK IN A HEARTBEAT.
@@andymatthews7617 I’d go back too ! ✌🏻
@@ClaudiaMitchell-jn7fw if I could build a time travel space ship would you go with me.😊
@@andymatthews7617 Yepper !
@@ClaudiaMitchell-jn7fw will call you when I'm ready to go.
Damn, I was born 20 years late.
Rock and roll will never die, it will be played on and on.
The 70's was the best error for Rock n roll music ever, we were lucky to enjoy the best error of music! Rock roll will never die!🤘🎶
Not "error", please, but "era."
There's a BIG difference!
If you don’t love this music, god help you 🍻
2021, still rocking out to this after 50 years.
FREE rocks
Love Paul Rogers with Free. Also, love Bad Co they are still one of my favorite bands. Saw them live in the 70's.
Me too!

damn, 60s and 70s rock n roll is just too fuckin good. i wasnt born until damn near the 90s and even I think 60s and 70s was the pinnacle of rock music.
I'm 69 year old and I play lead guitar and sing in a great cover band, and I watch this it reminds me what I feel in love with in the first place.
Paul Rodgers, the front man's frontman. Been a huge fan of the voice since 1970. Paul Kossoff a classically trained guitarist. Even Eric Clapton was in awe of his vibrato style. Andy Fraser, the Guvnor bass player. Simon Kirke, a no nonsense rock drummer. Free one of the most underated bands ever. I loved them, still do 50 years on.
Kossoff on lead guitar and Fraser on lead bass: awesome.
Agree 110% and they were certainly not under-rated by me.
But everything Paul Rodger has touched has turned to gold.
hes doing that so spot on with no monitors too
I agree - but Free underrated? By whom?
This was the best era of music to grow up in. We got to find a Way to bring it back.
Oh god, yessssssss.
Ain't gonna happen Will. Thnx 4 yr sentiments; but Paul Roger's best vocalist then n now. Andy Frazier was 16 when he was drafted. All my girlfriends've loved Simon Kirk until this day. Too bad about about Paul's issue. He Inadvertently fathered Bad Company until Mr Rodger's needed a new neighborhood. If John Cougar appreciates 'em; I do more. Git dwn!
@@charlesmoore3698 thank god for memories, best ever.
I wish.
Let us know when you build that time machine HG Wells.
Easily in my Top 20 of all time. Never gets old. Underrated talent right there.
IN MY TOP 1.
Not the overrated {Underrated} term again… 😛
@@KittyGrizGriz How about underappreciated? 🤷
Holy F%$*.... I can't believe how great this is live. So RAW !! Hard to put into words the amazing overall feeling of the seventies...overbearing joy exuding through one's heart and soul.
THE BEST BAR NONE.
Paul’s voice has just got stronger and stronger over the years
This has got to be one of the most classic songs ever. The opening riff, the groove, and Paul Rogers voice..just amazing
Some pair of trousers on him as well 😂😂😂😂
It's speed up just a wee bit, which actually detracts slightly from the groove, IMHO......
The riff is literally two chords
..and the lyrics were crap....
@@gavinkolner1505 Doesn't matter at all. It is memorable and distinctive and it was their own.
Dang, they are so tight in the funky groove and look 😮💨 while doing so…that bass though…OMG…forgot how great they are!!!!
💗
I was too young for concerts in 1970 , but I did get to see Paul Rodgers live in Houston , Tx. with Bad Company in 1978 and after 300 plus Rock concerts under my belt , I still say that he had the best live vocals of any lead singer in Rock hands down !
TO RIGHT MATE, TO RIGHT.
Saw Bad Company on Running With the Pack Tour in late 70’s , can still picture the floaty white banner behind the band w/wolves on it. Great Band!!
