BAD COMPANY LIVE 1977 -amp; 1979 - DIGI

Bad Company (Paul Rodgers, Mick Bad Ralphs, Boz Burrell -amp; Simon Kirke) were among thefinest exponents of blues-infused hard rock during their prime in the 70s. This double albumdocumenting two shows from 1977 and 1979 respectively. The 1977 gig was recorded atSummit House in Houston, Texas. The title track is a brazenly muscular opener, Paul Rodgers’unimpeachable bluesy holler leading the overdriven tones of former Mott The Hoople guitaristMick Ralphs. Morning Sun” proves they could do slow and soulful. The second show wasrecorded at The Empire Pool (now Wembley Arena) in London. If Rock ’N’ Roll Fantasy” and EvilWind” groove convincingly, it’s the tracks from their self-titled debut that steal both shows. BadCompany remains an atmospheric blues rock masterclass, while Feel Like Makin’ Love” andShooting Star” are what stadium rock shows were invented for.
