This is a short set for a live album but it rightly concentrates on the first two albums – Bad Company and Straightshooter.

For some strange reason I feel aggrieved that All Right Now is included although I can imagine that the audience were delighted to hear this great song. The original bad company were very keen to create their own identity away from their parent bands – Free, Mott The Hoople and King Crimson.

The members of this version of Bad Company are:

  • Paul Rodgers – vocals, arranger, guitar, piano
  • Dave Colwell – guitar, background vocals
  • Jaz Lochrie – bass, background vocals
  • Simon Kirke – drums, percussion, background vocals

So that’s two of the original members in Rodgers and Kirke.

Other Live Albums By Bad Company, Free and Paul Rodgers

I don’t think there has been a definitive live album issued by Bad Company and whilst they were more hard rock and Free were blues rock, I think much of the attraction is in the great vocals of Paul Rodgers.
