Format:Audio CD
Recorded in 1970 and comprising of tracks drawn from their 1st four studio albums (tons of sobs, free, fire and water, highway), this is a brilliant and powerful live album from one of the great blues rock bands ever.... In addition to the 1971(year of release) original track listing, several bonus tracks (all live except 'Get where I belong')) have been added and their presence greatly enhances this CD version. A couple of these actually surpass the 1971 vinyl versions (All Right Now and Mr Big).The 'new' All Right Now is far better than track one, which is a bit sloppy and not a patch on the single/fire & water version.
Track one aside, the party kicks off with 'I'm a Mover' and doesn't let up from thereon. Most tracks possibly eclipse the studio versions (though the 'studio' albums are mostly excellent also).
Free were/are one of the top bands in my opinion. Paul Rodgers strong, passionate and soulful voice, Andy Fraser's innovative 'lead guitar' style bass playing (listen to Mr Big) and Simon Kirke's steady solid backbeat excel on this live document. One must not forget the Fraser/Rodgers songwriting team responsible for so many great songs.
The reason I'm a big fan however is down to the guitar playing of Paul Kossoff. His roaring and screaming vibrato lead has never failed to make the neck hairs stand on end ....even when he plays one note it can have the desired affect. He hits the spot where other guitarists simply fail to reach. If you like passionate and emotional guitar playing at its BEST, listen to Paul Kossoff. Unbelievably, like the rest of the band, he was only around age 20 at the time...
A fitting live document to a magnificent band who were sadly short-lived. Although the CD cover can't be opened like an envelope (as could the original vinyl cover), the contents more than make up for it. I'm generally not a fan of bonus tracks as often they are inferior and can spoil the feeling of the original album (i.e. 'Power to the People' stuck on the end of Lennon's Plastic ono band)... but in the case of Free, a great job's been done (see also Tons of Sobs for a good example of this)..
Definitely recommended. One of the best live albums ever released.

Catch me on a certain day and I'll swear "Free Live" could well be Free's best album - because here they play with an intensity that matches, if not surpasses, even their best album work.
Breaking this almighty beast down into it's components you'll notice from the moment you hit "play" that Rogers' singing is rawer and more emotive than ever before, which is to say nothing of Kirke's drumming, which is absolutely astounding and able to change tempo and style with impressive fluidity. Then to add to this there are Fraser's bass lines, which are fat and groovy and finally Kossoff's guitar riffs, which come screaming out of the speakers and pretty much nail you to the wall. Add them all together, not forgetting that these are a fine bunch of tunes, and I think you have possibly the finest live album ever to be released.
Also, as much as I adore the original album, the extra tracks included on this reissue are possibly even better - certainly the "new" versions of "Mr Big" and "Alright Now" which have been added easily surpass the "original" versions included on the album. There is also a fantastic version of "Woman" and a rumbling "Walking In My Shadow" that really enables Rogers to flex his vocal muscles!
Highly recommended!

This remastered and expanded Free Live cd captures them at their prime in Sunderland, Croydon (1970) and London (1971, two studio versions of the ballad Get where I belong, that in a way announced their break-up later that year).
All Right Now starts off the proceedings, squawking out of the loudspeakers with its plodding rhythm, Paul Kossof's emotional raw guitar and Paul Rodgers' bravado vocals. Such is the power of this song that it 3x times reached the top of the hit parades in the 1970s. The musical tension between the aggressive bass of Andy Fraser and Paul Kossof, underpinned by the solid pace-setting of Simon Kirke then continues on improved live versions of studio favourites like Ride on a pony to culminate in Mr. Big (track 6).
The additional tracks (9-15) maintain the high level with slightly different, a bit more controlled repeats of Mr. Big and All Right Now and Woman (the growling vocals) and Trouble on double (Paul Kossof really lets his blues-infected guitar out here) as the other highlights. This album ranks as one of the greatest live recordings in rock's history.

Classic Free
A superb live example of the classic BG rock band. No frills just some of the Free catalogue. Saw them six times live the loss of Kossoff was tragic. Worth a listen

Better than studio recordings
It somehow has been quite hard for me to listen to, say, 15 Free songs in a row. Don't know why but there are not too many studio versions of their best songs that I really enjoy. Read more

Free at their BEST!
I have always rated this album and I would have bought this just for the original tracks alone, but getting the bonus seven tracks as well made this album very buyable. Read more

Simply the best!
I originally bought this album in 1972 and I don't think a week has gone by since then when I haven't listened to at least part of it! "The Hunter" (track 7) is perfect!
