I ageed, but unfortunately he as queen's frontman didn't match, Freddy leavy a legacy hard to beat, but Free and Bad Company was really fantastic bands
As a child of 63 - grew up with these rock anthems - today in 2024 the lyrics make total sense more than ever - think about it - those were the days - now are the days to really enjoy them and know we are not crazy - they were right then
When Freddie Mercury was dying he said replace me with Paul Rogers I actually prefer Paul to Adam he's not trying to be Freddie just himself a great singer I think it went well
I could watch this video all day long and never get tired of seeing it. Paul Rodgers has the best voice in rock and blues. Best looking guy in the world.
There has never been a better rock and blues/rock singer than Paul Rodgers, and very few his equal. Last time I saw him he was fronting Queen in Hyde Park and it was ACE. Brian loves playing rock classics and Wishing Well, Alright Now, Can't Get Enough and Feel Like Making Love were the four Free/Bad Company classics they included in the concert I saw and they were all brilliant and brilliantly enjoyed by audience and band alike. It isn't Queen, of course, but the Queen and Adam Lambert thing is not my cup of tea, and I'd like to see Paul Rodgers, Brian May and Roger Taylor play more live gigs together under any name just because what they do together is so very good and thoroughly enjoyable. Top rocking!
wow Brian May does an amazing first giutar solo 2:23- 2:40 on this version of Wishing Well. Paul Kosssoffs Phrasing and Brian Mays joy of being able to play this classic I thought it was amazing the combination of the two.
i swear his voice just getting stronger and more soulful as he gets older. And if he is reading this, please work with Robin Trower next. His voice would be perfect for the songs Trower did with James Dewar.
not really, very simplistic. They do nt compare in comparison to the complexity and beauty of mr Steve Walsh! ...and lets not overlook John Elefante who can sing around Paul and Lou. and if Ronnie James was still here, well........
This song was so Amazing. This have to end up on my CZcams Rocklist. Paul might not hit the highest notes, like Freddie, but he sure have a powerful, good voice.
Maybe not everybody knows that no one else but the great Freddie Mecury once said that Paul Rodgers was THE VOICE, the best voice in the history of rock. Maybe it was only courtesy, but Freddie was a big Free fan, so I believe it might be more than pure courtesy. For me, not far from the truth anyway.
I must have been one of them few ppl in the world who didn’t hate the Queen + Paul Rodgers collaboration. I think Paul Rodgers is a great singer and I like Queens take on songs like these (“Wishing Well”, “All Right Now”, “Feel Like Making Love”, this live album was honestly how I was introduced to PR and his songs). The album they did also I didn’t think was that bad, there are some songs I really like on it (“Some things that glitter”, “Say It’s Not True”, “C-Lebrity” some of the highlights in my opinion from Cosmos Rocks). I’m not saying it’s groundbreaking stuff, that every song is a hit. I’m not saying PR is better than Freddie, no way, but I don’t understand this almost anal obsession of hating on everything Queen does after his death. Freddie wouldn’t want the boys to up and stop just cause he has passed (you know the history by now, the man was vigorously working on music even up to his final days, desperate to keep making music), I don’t see why RT & BM have to stop if they don’t want to. And I think everybody knows no one they get is replacing Freddie, not Paul or even Adam, and nor are they trying to. They’re keeping the music alive, they’re bringing these songs to live settings to ppl who have long missed the chance to see them performed by the original Queen members. And whose against more music, more content? I’m all for more songs from Queen whoever they decide to collab with, whether unreleased Freddie gems or new stuff with Adam or someone else. anyway, soz bout that lil rant, loved this version of the song btw
I went to see them in Newcastle, UK, in 2005 and they were effing outstanding! I too much preferred this collaboration than Q + AL. Lots of Queen songs require that rock timbre which Lambert just doesn't possess.
I grew up with the DVD of this concert, and love Paul Rodgers as the frontman Of Queen. His voice is incredible! It’s a shame Brian and Paul didn’t work out very well. Adam Lambert is still good but I definitely prefer Paul, even though he is too old to do this again imo
@@curlyhairedgamer-gamingand191 Everyone keeps saying Brian and Paul didn't get on yet I've never seen any evidence of this. In fact; any interview I've seen they've always been very complimentary of each other.
I first heard this song at a biker party when I was a kid, 11-12 yrs old, as my dad is a biker, and was well divorced from my mom, so I was always at weekend camping biker rallies and local house party's and down the pub, or cruising the country side looking for pubs and eating late night lamb bhuna's as I was growing up. Anyway a few years went by and I had all but forgotten about this song, then one day in my later teens I heard it start playing and the tingles started running across my shoulders, down my arms and to my lower back. Right then I knew what real music was, and knew I'd landed in terms of listening deeper, and fully enjoying each different tune.
Brian said in an interview some years ago that they were influenced by bands like Cream and Free,and if you listen to some of Queen's earlier music/ albums,some had a bluesy feel or sound . Also John Deacon was said to have been heavily influenced by R and B ,since Brian said in 1982,John went that direction more than they did. Hot Space,I think was the album where this was mostly done above all the others they did.
Brian May absolutely _killed_ this: respectful of Koss's incomparable original but tastefully & masterfully improvising on it. No attempt to redo it, just a perfect balance of old & new. Koss would be pleased/
Paul Rodgers is just one of the greatest vocalists and front men in rock history. Absolute savage!
Steve Walsh!
Totally correct👍
This half cover is more greatest than the Free original , you know why,because in that time Paul kossof losing the fight with his drug adiction!!!!!!!
@@janstrapina Paul Kossof is legend, Let's not underestimate him..
I ageed, but unfortunately he as queen's frontman didn't match, Freddy leavy a legacy hard to beat, but Free and Bad Company was really fantastic bands
Paul has the greatest rock and blues voice ever.
It's the reason he toured with Queen.
listen to gary moore, probably the best blues rock artist of all time ( and greatest guitarist of all time)
Arguably the greatest voice in R&R!
As a child of 63 - grew up with these rock anthems - today in 2024 the lyrics make total sense more than ever - think about it - those were the days - now are the days to really enjoy them and know we are not crazy - they were right then
Doesn't really get much better than this 😃
Totally brilliant. Paul Rodgers has the best voice ever.
If you discount Steve Perry ;-)
One of the very greatest rock voices of all time. No doubt about that and here backed up by the brilliant Brian May and Roger Taylor.
Wow. It’s been ages since I heard this. One of my all time favorite songs sung by one of my all time favorite singers. A gem!
Brian May and Paul Rodgers with one of the greatest Free songs on the same stage. What a great performance.
When Freddie Mercury was dying he said replace me with Paul Rogers I actually prefer Paul to Adam he's not trying to be Freddie just himself a great singer I think it went well
Totally agree !!
you can't use quote marks can you?
Freddie dying ?
Looked like Annie Lennox in makeup to me,
Sounded like her too.
@@Hellwyck
Quote “piss off”
BOTH OF THEM ARE GREAT LEAD SINGERS.
Good God, what a voice
How can this man look and sound so amazing after so many decades at the top of his game ? Incredible
I totally agree. He's still hot..hot..
Hotter now I would say!
Really really good voice. Paul Rogers =Legend
❤Paul Roger's I highly agree 👍 Great Singer
I could watch this video all day long and never get tired of seeing it. Paul Rodgers has the best voice in rock and blues. Best looking guy in the world.
Paul Rodgers with Queen, singing one of the very best song's from all them years ago.........................Just bloody brilliant.period.
Yep...
Free was one my favourite bands..
Paul Rodgers I salute you..
Australia
He sounded awesome here
DAMN!!!
Amazing Queen members. Handled a Free song so respectfully. Great soloing Mr May.
Rock legend no one better he has an unmistakable sound smooth blues/rock voice 👍👍👍👍
Great singer. Always loved him with Free, Bad Company and with Queen. What a talent!!! ❤❤❤
We love you. PAUL. R.
One of my very favorite male voices and Queen rock band
Absolutely Brilliant. Brilliant
They don't call Paul "The Voice" for nothing.
My god.. Paul Rodgers you are so incredibly good at singing
In the old days Kossoff used to play beautifully this song with no pedals...
Legend...
R I.P Koss.🖤
Love & peaceful world. Still worth wishing for. ❤️❤️❤️
Paul and Free beyond compare. Happy memories of seeing them in 1972 at Newcastle City Hall, chasing girls and drinking 😁. RIP Koss.
Andy is gone too
Yes, I remember Newcastle City Hall...Didn't see Free there sadly, but saw many great bands, including Pink Floyd.
@@stephenhall2604 lucky bastard!!!!
What a fucking voice,, back in 1978 Manchester Apollo, Desolation Angels tour i was there, 16 yrs old!!!!
Wow,has to have the best voice of the Woodstock singers that are still with us! 😁👍👍👍
Yep I can hear the good old BAD COMPANY in his voice...love it
Totally sums up my lovely hubby of 30 years - thank you for the music as always
Brian May slays this song, Paul Kossoff can rest easy that the torch is being carried well, and great backing vocals too.
The sound mix was superb!
PaulJust kicked ass anyway you look at it
brilliant rendition of the old Free song
This is still so good song! Remeber it from the 70,s!
great version
Love this man beautiful x
Bryan may ! Mega solo 👏👏👏
unforgetable---music of the past.not to compare with the shit of today
British rock, when Britain rocked!!!
There has never been a better rock and blues/rock singer than Paul Rodgers, and very few his equal.

Good God!!
neat voice paul rodgers has my brother in law would of loved this version he was an awesome guitar player too rip graham much missed xox
i swear his voice just getting stronger and more soulful as he gets older. And if he is reading this, please work with Robin Trower next. His voice would be perfect for the songs Trower did with James Dewar.
Paul Rodgers, - 'you got what it takes, ... to give a whole lotta people, ... some soul'
What a voice ❤️
Love this video, Roger and Brian kill it!! Thx brother’s 🎸
Amazing
that voice
Absolutely brilliant. The best singer with the best band. Have to watch again now. 😁
BRILLIANT!!!
Brilliant. 👍 💕
Paul, "brilliant" witnessed it myself earlier this year at Birmingham. He sounded great, cant believe he is still so good.
Paul and Lou Gramm are Rock's best vocalists... I was skeptical when I heard that he was singing for Queen. Needless to say, he kicked ass.
not really, very simplistic. They do nt compare in comparison to the complexity and beauty of mr Steve Walsh! ...and lets not overlook John Elefante who can sing around Paul and Lou. and if Ronnie James was still here, well........
This song was so Amazing. This have to end up on my CZcams Rocklist.
Paul might not hit the highest notes, like Freddie, but he sure have a powerful, good voice.
Absolutely, have always Loved this song.
what a concert!
OMG how good is this? Sir Brian and Paul Rodgers the best voice ever!

Esta actuación en directo es absolutamente brutal . La mejor versión de este tema.
Brilliant what vocals should be like.
02:01....uno de los mejores fondos vocales de la historia
I still listen to this after so many years! Good old rock!

Pure magic x✌
Classic song and live performance from "Return Of The Champions"!!!

Great song! Love it!
Great version!! Lifts me up!!
Guitar legend.xx
Wow ! Brilliant.
awesome many years on
Wer ihm Leif erlebt hat , er weis Paul braucht nicht ins Studio . Er ist immer der Beste ! Zvonimir
Seen it live Arrowhead Pond April 3rd 2006, shortly before a SWASIA tour as a goodbye gift, 10th row. Words fail me as to magnificence.
Que vas a esperar con esos Dinosaurios del Rock..pura maravilla!!
So Great. Rivals the original!!!!!!!
Wow , that voice 😲
ディープパープールの他の曲は、いろいろ名作がありますが、最後に発売された、この曲はディープーパープルの中で、一番、芸術的に完成された曲と思います。
Love this brilliant track, never seen this before with Queen, fantastic!
One of my favorite songs from Blackfoot performed by Paul Rogers & Queen , absolutely fantastic!!
True and agree, but written and recorded originally by Rodgers and Free
Kristen Lapointe Free song first
Es de Free,no Blackfoot
That's what you call ROCK
❤❤❤❤❤
Super wykonawca
Bravo!
HOW A MIX COULD BE SO LOVELY ..... GREAT VOICE END DRUMS
Only a rock God can flick a mic stand like that, gotta love him ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Definitely. Rodgers, daltrey, plant the main rock gods imo.
I hope I look as good as Paul does when I'm his age.
Looks beetter here than when he was young. Better teeth, better hair. Seems he turned into Walker , Texas Ranger.
Wears a Toupee... His real voice though
He married a Canadian beauty queen fitness trainer, so he has to keep up with her. Looks great, sounds greater!
Wonderful.I never knew this song before I had the video.All Right Now ,was the only song from Free I knew or heard on radio here in America.
They should have done a whole concert of free material
Fucking great version of this immortal blues/hardrock classic!!!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸
The Voice
