take my word this live cd is brilliant,i was at the concert and listened to
this cd from concertlive in mid april the sound is much better
with the inclusion of howard leese teaming up with mick ralphs
on guitar,listen to howard playing the mandolin at the start of feel
live making love,fantastic,lynn sorensen does a fine job on bass,
and the original three are just incredible,how simon kirke
gets that sound out of an argos kit is incredible.
mick ralphs at 66 years old was as reliable as ever.
and finally mr paul rodgers was at his very best,
if anyone has any doubts about paul rodgers not being
the best singer/frontman to come from these shores
this cd will put that one to rest.my only hope
is that this concert comes out on dvd in the future
because it was definitely filmed.

This UK tour was long overdue. Bad Co could easily be criticised for having lost sight of their British fans. Probably the decision to re-form (sadly without original, now deceased bassist Boz Burrel) will have been in part inspired by the success of reformation of Led Zeppelin for the Ahmet Ertegun charity evening at the O2 arena in London. Better late than never again say the fans. Riding the reform/nostalgia trip spirit of other legendary names, Bad Co correctly concentrate on the well loved material from (mostly) their earlier albums; Bad Co, Straight Shooter, Run with the Pack, with a couple of cherry picked songs from later, less strong album offerings Burnin' Sky and Desolation Angels. This time out the band enjoy a twin guitar lineup in the form of Howard Leese, who certainly augments Mick Ralphs very well. The band find it hard not to put a foot wrong, the fans are put to work from the get-go, filling in from the first chorus of the first song 'Can't get Enough', with Rodgers seemingly taking his cues from the Freddie Mercury school of audience participation. The male dominated voices of the audience rise to the challenge effortlessly, indeed, one can even 'hear' the smiles on their faces as they sing. Rock concerts don't get much better than this. Master of Ceremonies Paul Rodgers indeed doesn't make a wrong move, and his distinctive voice hasn't lost any of it's magic in all these years. Rhetorically he asks the crowd how the band is playing. There was no need to even think of asking, he has them in the palm of his hand all evening. The cd sound quality is really first rate, creating that 'being there in the audience' sound that raises the enjoyment no end. The band's performance is not perfect, however. It is clear that Simon Kirke drops a stick within seconds of the start of the first track. It happens even to the very best of us. Being a true great, he recovers in a micro-second to complete the setlist in his beloved, sparse, muscular style without further incident. This event harps back to another (in)famous error - again at the start of proceedings - on the Free Live album, when Rodgers throws the band off kilter by forgetting the opening line to the second verse of 'All Right Now'. Paul Kossoff's guitar stutters in uncertainty and for a few seconds the song seems headed for a derailment before being brought back under control. What's my point here? It's simple, this is a warts and all recording that renders these legendary rockers human, and we love them all the more for it. Bad Company? Never have a band been so wrongly named. They provide some of the finest musical company in the history of the genre. Rodgers & Co are not so much Bad Compnay as Great Company.

Fantastic show, good songs, great Paul Rodger's voice , one of finest rock's voice, great band comming back, but why 3 cds for only 86 minutes? Where's the rest of the show? Only two star for this!
