And in the 70's they had this on TV. Now we have the x factor, glee, britain's got talent and the like cerebral vacuum. Where the hell did music start to go so wrong?
I took the Bad Company album to a party when I was 16, soon after it came out. It stayed on the turntable for most of the evening and I've never had so much attention from girls coming up to me with "I hear you brought this music".
how do these skinny little twenty year old english kids (rodgers, winwood, marriot, you name it) summon the raw, visceral vocals of eighty year old blues men? paul rodgers is just completely insane. freak of nature voice.
Just bought this album "Bad Co" to day. 17 years old from Finland and gotta say, when you just want rock you can't go wrong with Bad Company just wish other people in my age would listen to 70's rock, like Bad Co, Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Ac/Dc...
ROLLING STONE voted them one of the most musically talented and greatist Rock & Roll bands ever formed but never recieved the recognition they deserved unfortunately.A very talented group!!!! Their music will stand the Test Of time!!!
i hate the thought that i missed all this kickass music in the 60s, 70s, and 80s...i just had to be born in the 90s when music started to go to shit, and so many good bands had broken up
I grew up in this era too. This was "The" kick ass band of that time. Paul Rodgers is one of the greatest rock and roll singers of all time. Oh my, the memories! I wish I could do it all again. And the women were so fine!
Sat. Sept 7, 1974 Montréal Forum - Bad Co. opens for Edgar Winter. Great set - all 8, 1st album songs; opening bands never played more than 40 mins, but THEY encored! Yet to be released ''Feel Like Makin' Love''+''Shooting Star''. When Edgar came on stage, he shouted: ''Give a big cheer for the best new rock band'. Classy move Edgar! Section 38 whites, row B Seat 1. Price: $5.50, now a priceless stub...
Saw Bad Company a couple of years ago and they are still kicking it. Paul Rogers has definitely not lost his voice and Mick Ralphs is still a master guitarist
I CAN'T!!!! 1974------Great year of music. Miss those LPs and Quad 8 Tracks. We had a Quad system in our 1973 Sports Beetle and Quad in our house. Used to lay on the floor in the middle of the speakers and listen to "Dark Side of the Moon". The bells would revolve around the room and our dog would bark at some of the sounds coming out of one of the speakers! Great days...
I saw bad company in 1975,, niagara falls convention center. Great concert. They played here recently, 35 years later. I could sing along with every song.
This is so great 2 see..just wish it was clearer..bec its such an awesome video. Paul was so gorgeous..& the whole band was awesome/handsome..& all so talented. Luv these guys! So sad we lost Paul K. & Andy F. from Free..RIP...
A very very inspirational group and music. I was 21 years old about the time bad company came to the music scene. I loved their music instantly. Their band is one of the best groups I have ever heard. To this day I am still a fan of theirs. I sing karaoke and they are amongst the most favorite groups whose songs I love to sing. They are tremendously fabulous and have made a great mark on the music scene that I don't think will ever disapear.
One of those rare moments of genuine rock-n-roll intensity... white man breaking through to the beat. To be followed by Jim Croce!!!! Unbelievable. Talk about dousing the fire!!
The Poor Man's Led Zeppelin.....and A GREAT ROCK BAND as well. It says a lot when the late, great Bon Scott acknowledged being a huge admirer of Paul Rodgers. (see the resemblance too? coincidence? ) All in all, 70's to early 80's rock music is the best: concerts, vinyl, true musicianship, real talent. I'm sooo lucky and grateful to have grown with all of that and glad to know that even some kids nowadays are fed up with most of the current crap they are fed and turning to the "old stuff."
AMEN kiddo! LOL I love these guys! They still rock! I saw him a couple of years ago and he still looks fine! Aerosmith still rocks! Thar was my son's first concert and the only band we agree on now. lol
PAUL is trained on piano and guitar,he has fronted many bands and he is multi faceted and extraordinary on the mic,BAD COMPANY SHOULD ONLY BE VIEWED LIVE
After a friend bought me another Stratocaster for my birthday, I tuned it to the same open C chord to play this and Movin On from the Merchants of Cool DVD. Plus I use it for David Gilmour’s Mihalis Pink Floyd One Slip and Terminal Frost.
This was first sigle 45 played ad youg DJ. I could never forget. Every time I listen it I've to start to dance (even I'm 55y old...). ROCK FOR EVER!!!!!
Agreed. For the record, I think that's his Fender Esquire, though. Not much different, basically just a single [bridge] pickup Telecaster. It was the original Telecaster!
My band played this at our school talent show about a year ago....it was actually a pretty big hit with my school, but I doubt most of the kids watching knew it was a Bad Company song.
I remember when this first aired, I thought enough of it to go buy tickets to their concert. There are no audio effects, lighting effects, but this set is still off the scale in showmanship.
Paul Rogers and Simon Kirke from Free Boz Burrell from King Crimson (Died in 2006) and Mick Ralphs from Mott the Hopple, saw them 74 & 76 going to see Bad Company in April Next year can't wait!
Those were the days, pure Rock n Roll to the core! Miss it but still lov'n Paul Rodgers...see em every time they hit Cali's Valley!! Best male vocals still today!
Paul Rodgers is one of the greatest singers over more than four decades. Only Robert Plant,Peter Gabrilel,David Bowie and one or two others get anywhere near him. Saw him twice.Great singer.
Real Instruments,Real Music,Real Band,Real Good. My favourite Rock Band of Alltime ,yes ,sabbath,deep purple,madam butterfly,the who,guns n roses and any other legend rock bands.They will always be the best
you are not alone, i hear this comment over & over like a mantra.."Why was I BORN TOO LATE" Music today sucks, etc i totally agree, i was lucky to experience any of it. I was born in the late 50's, so when i was graduating high school 1976 rock was big, even though Disco was emerging, the 70's were big .... Billy Joel, Elton, fleetwood mac, Heart, Van halen, just to name a few were all happening, i went to many great shows. i feel for the teens today having to live w/ such sterile crap..
Right again, i remember my 1st concert 1974, Grand Funk Railroad headlined, but we had Suzie quattro open & Wet Willie (keep on smilin') after that. also in 1981 i saw the Stones in orlando,fl paul henry band opened, then Van halen (w/ DLR) and the Stones closed the show.. prices were reasonable & we always got 2-3 acts together. Today I'd love to see the eagles, but not for $150-200.. for that much money i'll keep the $200 & watch them here on the tube!
That's a great story; my band had a similar situation. We lost to a kid who swooned the crowd with some sappy Jack Johnson or John Mayer song, can't remember which it was, but either way, I wanted to gag. Luckily my band got 2 more opportunities to play for the school; we played a whole set of Led Zeppeling covers and that was a big hit, particularly with all the parents in the crowd.
I agree with that. And I'll comment that not only was there a decline in independent stations, but even big-market stations with program directors that operated independently. Radio wasn't blindsided by MTv, they just under-estimated it. And now, there's not even MTv. I used to think it was some sort of meme seeing posts from young people claiming musical nirvana upon being exposed to the music we took for granted. But now I know it's no fluke; they're pretty much floored by what we had.
Has anyone else noticed their guitars aren't plugged into anything? They're not wearing the transmitter pack things either, and did they even have that technology back in '73 or '74 anyway? Love this song and the band anyway. Thanks for the great clip!
The women of the seventies were the prettiest of any era!😍
People ate healthier back then, better food =nicer skin.
Oh thank you
And in the 70's they had this on TV. Now we have the x factor, glee, britain's got talent and the like cerebral vacuum. Where the hell did music start to go so wrong?
Back when everyone in a ROCK N ROLL band had long HAIR I won't forget BAD COMPANY & KANSAS at the Chicago stadium 1975
I took the Bad Company album to a party when I was 16, soon after it came out. It stayed on the turntable for most of the evening and I've never had so much attention from girls coming up to me with "I hear you brought this music".
I sure do miss the 70’s.
They don't make em like they used to. Bad Company fucking rock.
by far the very best era to have been a teenager in.......................I was there and it fucking rocked big time.
'Rock steady' was the first song I listened and get hooked forever with this band . It was in 1984 .
how do these skinny little twenty year old english kids (rodgers, winwood, marriot, you name it) summon the raw, visceral vocals of eighty year old blues men? paul rodgers is just completely insane. freak of nature voice.
Just bought this album "Bad Co" to day. 17 years old from Finland and gotta say, when you just want rock you can't go wrong with Bad Company just wish other people in my age would listen to 70's rock, like Bad Co, Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Ac/Dc...
ROLLING STONE voted them one of the most musically talented and greatist Rock & Roll bands ever formed but never recieved the recognition they deserved unfortunately.A very talented group!!!! Their music will stand the Test Of time!!!
Absolutely 💯
Paul's band before this was ALOT better
i hate the thought that i missed all this kickass music in the 60s, 70s, and 80s...i just had to be born in the 90s when music started to go to shit, and so many good bands had broken up
These guys are the undisputed kings of 70's booze rock. This ladies and Gentlemen is proof of that title
Don't forget those panties 😜
Need to be in The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame
I grew up in this era too. This was "The" kick ass band of that time. Paul Rodgers is one of the greatest rock and roll singers of all time. Oh my, the memories! I wish I could do it all again. And the women were so fine!
Dem 70's panties 😜
The greatest rock vocalist EVER

This is one band that sounds even BETTER live!!
Saw Bad Company a couple of years ago and they are still kicking it. Paul Rogers has definitely not lost his voice and Mick Ralphs is still a master guitarist
Mick Ralphs is proof that faster isn't better for a guitarist. He was always tone and taste.
@@agnostic47 as also always demonstrated by the great Tony Iommi. 👍🏻
I CAN'T!!!! 1974------Great year of music. Miss those LPs and Quad 8 Tracks. We had a Quad system in our 1973 Sports Beetle and Quad in our house. Used to lay on the floor in the middle of the speakers and listen to "Dark Side of the Moon".

I listened to Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd on the Quad at my friend's house at 16..blown away.😊
What a total badass in this video, I've never seen him quite like this!!!!!
Love this video! I can watch Paul Rodgers all day and night!
nice version, paul was tight on the git harmonies and mick's playing in an open C tuning I think
Damn, that was good. Took me back to the good old days :)
Always liked work of Bozz Burrell on bass and harmony vocal. Along with Paul, Mick .. truly a supergrass.
I saw bad company in 1975,, niagara falls convention center. Great concert. They played here recently, 35 years later. I could sing along with every song.
This is so great 2 see..just wish it was clearer..bec its such an awesome video. Paul was so gorgeous..& the whole band was awesome/handsome..& all so talented. Luv these guys! So sad we lost Paul K. & Andy F. from Free..RIP...
Paul Rodgers truly one of rock's great vocals!!
Cheesecake plz 😋
THE BEST

I saw BC in 1975. Great concert. Ahhhhhh....the good old days.
One of those rare moments of genuine rock-n-roll intensity... white man breaking through to the beat.
To be followed by Jim Croce!!!! Unbelievable. Talk about dousing the fire!!
I like Boz's fretless bass. I wonder why more people don't play them these days.
The Poor Man's Led Zeppelin.....and A GREAT ROCK BAND as well.
It says a lot when the late, great Bon Scott acknowledged being a huge admirer of Paul Rodgers. (see the resemblance too? coincidence? )
All in all, 70's to early 80's rock music is the best: concerts, vinyl, true musicianship, real talent.
I'm sooo lucky and grateful to have grown with all of that and glad to know that even some kids nowadays are fed up with most of the current crap they are fed and turning to the "old stuff."
Pure rock and roll. When you can't get enough, play it again.
I've been listening to this for 36 years, never saw a picture of the band, never thought they were so sexy. Viva internete, viva youtube
i was in london visiting my cousin and we went to the first Bad Company concert there.should have been in 73 or 74
Saw Bad Co. in Bristol 1974 the joint was rocking !! great band.
Paul has all the slick guitar moves down, love the dual lead with Mick..
You don't get to see many blues based rock bands anymore... now we have rap and hip hop... sad...
Can't get enough of Paul Rodgers and Bad Company !!!!
AMEN kiddo! LOL I love these guys! They still rock! I saw him a couple of years ago and he still looks fine! Aerosmith still rocks! Thar was my son's first concert and the only band we agree on now. lol
Bad Company - Can't Get Enough Live 1974
Back to the good old days .
Sexy masculine voice! I wish more male singers sounded like men. I love you Mr. Rodgers!
PAUL is trained on piano and guitar,he has fronted many bands and he is multi faceted and extraordinary on the mic,BAD COMPANY SHOULD ONLY BE VIEWED LIVE
After a friend bought me another Stratocaster for my birthday, I tuned it to the same open C chord to play this and Movin On from the Merchants of Cool DVD. Plus I use it for David Gilmour’s Mihalis Pink Floyd One Slip and Terminal Frost.
Saw them in Charlotte, NC July 13, '13. Still good. Paul is still one of the best singers around.
Paul sounds rocks this tune better in the 21st century than the 70's recordings - Can't get enough..........Cheers all!
This was first sigle 45 played ad youg DJ. I could never forget. Every time I listen it I've to start to dance (even I'm 55y old...). ROCK FOR EVER!!!!!
Just saw them the other night (here in Japan).
Paul Rodgers still sounds great.
This version kicks ass.
nothin' like the sound of a Telle and a Strat harmonizing
Agreed. For the record, I think that's his Fender Esquire, though. Not much different, basically just a single [bridge] pickup Telecaster. It was the original Telecaster!
Yeah you got that right!
Got that right!
Paul is a really capable guitarist and it's interesting he played so much live.
Are your ears broken?
He is playing the harmony during the first solo and the whole outro solo.
@@jimf9125 He didnt play anything here.
Brings back so many great memories seeing these guys play is awesome!
My band played this at our school talent show about a year ago....it was actually a pretty big hit with my school, but I doubt most of the kids watching knew it was a Bad Company song.
Awesome..first Free..then Bad Co....Paul is onme of the best vocalists ever..thks 4 posting..
why when I was a kid,thay played hard and fast Rock N Roll,and we loved it,now-a-days.you kids with your Hip-Hopen,Rappie...and no one singes....
My favorite band even sense I was a long haired punk kid 15 years old 55 now still the best band ever
Jesse Ward yep Dam Straight! Best Rock Band of Alltime!
One of the best comments on you tube ha ha - class, as is the band.
Cheers from the Scottish highlands.
22 years old and "CAN'T GET ENOUGH"!!!!
I remember when this first aired, I thought enough of it to go buy tickets to their concert. There are no audio effects, lighting effects, but this set is still off the scale in showmanship.
Great song. Cool seeing Paul on guitar, I think he stopped playing guitar live some time ago.
Saw them in Dublin tonight. Paul's voice is in top shape
Yep I was 15 at the time. The best time of my life and I had Bad Company to rock to! Damn good times indeed.....
Paul's voice is so absolutely perfect. Reaches in and grabs our hearts for a steady squeeze. Dang!
Going to see them tonight! 40th Anniversary Tour!! Southern Maryland will be rocking out Bad Company style!!!
Bad Company..!! A mean groove goin' on..!! Farkin fabulous...they don't make it like this no more....
I'm with bad company this morning .
Classic Supergroup. RIP Boz, but the rest of you still ROCK. Saw them in the early 70's in Australia, could not believe they were that good.
Damn baby! I gotta give to you - you really sound GOOD live...
Paul Rogers and Simon Kirke from Free
Boz Burrell from King Crimson (Died in 2006) and Mick Ralphs from Mott the Hopple, saw them 74 & 76 going to see Bad Company in April Next year can't wait!
This is real rock and roll, the bands today can't touch this
I was at this gig in 74 at the Rainbow in London!!
Kieth Moon at the beginning!!!!! Legend!
Those were the days, pure Rock n Roll to the core! Miss it but still lov'n Paul Rodgers...see em every time they hit Cali's Valley!! Best male vocals still today!
Best southern rock band from England ever!
they were never southern rock they were hard or heavy rock with a touch of blues and soul
Absolutely no southern in them.
Paul Rodgers is one of the greatest singers over more than four decades.
Only Robert Plant,Peter Gabrilel,David Bowie and one or two others get anywhere near him.
Saw him twice.Great singer.
I have to admit, those were fun days...
Real Instruments,Real Music,Real Band,Real Good. My favourite Rock Band of Alltime ,yes ,sabbath,deep purple,madam butterfly,the who,guns n roses and any other legend rock bands.They will always be the best
Hud Maughan damn dude I know there's a lot of good bands out there are you have to be real and pick one that is your favorite
holy mother of God......Paul Rodgers....man oh man......stunning vocals.....
Yeah, Paul is one fine looking man! He's aged incredibly well! He turned 60 in December -- looks 45!
Now he is 71 years old and looks like 50 !
Yep, best all time voice in rock n roll
you are not alone, i hear this comment over & over like a mantra.."Why was I BORN TOO LATE" Music today sucks, etc
i totally agree, i was lucky to experience any of it. I was born in the late 50's, so
when i was graduating high school 1976
rock was big, even though Disco was emerging, the 70's were big ....
Billy Joel, Elton, fleetwood mac, Heart, Van halen, just to name a few were all happening, i went to many great shows.
i feel for the teens today having to live w/ such sterile crap..
December 12, 1949: Happy Birthday to Paul Rodgers of Bad Company!
Can't get enough of this band!!!M.O'B
i saw them last night only Howard Leese on guitar
!!!!!!!!!!!!
there are tears in my eyes so much memories
Right again, i remember my 1st concert 1974, Grand Funk Railroad headlined, but we had Suzie quattro open & Wet Willie (keep on smilin') after that.
also in 1981 i saw the Stones in orlando,fl
paul henry band opened, then Van halen (w/ DLR) and the Stones closed the show.. prices were reasonable & we always got 2-3 acts together.
Today I'd love to see the eagles, but not for $150-200.. for that much money i'll keep the $200 & watch them here on the tube!
I saw them twice in concert. in Burning Sky tour 1977 and Desolation Angels tour, 1979.
That's a great story; my band had a similar situation. We lost to a kid who swooned the crowd with some sappy Jack Johnson or John Mayer song, can't remember which it was, but either way, I wanted to gag.

wanna go back 40yrs great time
One day my mum took me to buy a new pair of jeans. We went in every shop and couldn't find flares anywhere. I never recovered from the trauma.
Best BLUES Voice that ever took the stage.
Has anyone else noticed their guitars aren't plugged into anything? They're not wearing the transmitter pack things either, and did they even have that technology back in '73 or '74 anyway? Love this song and the band anyway. Thanks for the great clip!
I heard this on the radio and now I "can't get enough" of it. hehe
Time moves on but this is timeless !!
Paul Paul Paul
Can't get enough of your voice
Rock On
I love how the strat is just a decoration on Paul. He might as well have been playing air guitar. Great performance.
if you noticed at 2:18 Paul was playing dual leed with Mick.
@@Texans9517 thank U
I cant get enough of those bell bottoms... yeah i used to wear em too seems like it was just yesterday hehe ...
Going to see them TONIGHT!!! WHOOO HOOOO....
I miss that time...
Paul Rodgers. Multitalented underated rock and roll giant!
Awesome tunes from the 70's.hard to beat!
