BAD COMPANY - HARD ROCK LIVE
This is an amazing Bad Company Concert. The band sounds huge. Mick Ralphs is in great form as is Howard Leese with Les Pauls and Marshalls blazing. Lynn Sorenson on bass is a great choice who fills all the empty space with a great bottom end and style.
Simon Kirk plays with more energy than I have ever seen him play, and also has a super sound. Most amazing is Paul Rodgers, who just gets better and better and better over the years. He sings perfectly and effortlessly. All the original hits are there, not a dull song in the bunch.
Best of all it, is a very watchable concert, with camera angles similar to the in concert series of the 1970's. When a solo is played, the focus is on the guitar, not an excess of rapid fire camera switching to make you dizzy and to create false excitement.
If you are a musician, you will really dig this DVD.
Worth every penny and the best sounding Bad Company dvd/cd ever.

MICK RALPHS INTERVIEW press here
Lead guitar for Bad Company and Mott the Hoople, Mick Ralphs talks to Iris at Abbey Road Studios
In 1999, the most amazing thing happened. I was asked to join other broadcasters at Abbey Road Studios in London to interview an assortment of classic rock legends. One of my favorite moments was talking to Mick Ralphs, lead guitar player for Bad Company. He was warm and charming, and I felt like I had known him forever. We talk about his favorite Mott the Hoople song, Bad Company's catalog of songs about love, and I melted a whole lot when this man hugged me. Sigh. Miss you Mick! Hope Bad Company tours again. Enjoy this little trip down memory lane with me.
This is Taken Ill rehearsing Feel Like Makin' Love with Mick Ralphs. It starts with Mick breaking my chops about setting up the video camera. I then skipped to his solo. There was an issue with the harmonies which we worked out in "Take 2". Part of Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp 2008 in London and Liverpool.

Free song, "Get Where I Belong" performed by FREED, with help from Harold Lloyd.
Probably the best Free Tribute band in the World, certainly one of the greatest, and one of the most daring, silent comics.

Howard Leese (of Heart & The Paul Rodgers Band) on Andrew Black
"I wanted to do a straight Blues song, and Lucy Piller, head of the Paul Rodgers Fan Club, goes ‘You gotta hear this guy, this local guy, he’s got a great voice and he's a great songwriter.’ And she knows. She’s a big Paul Rodgers fan. She sent me a couple tracks of this guy and it’s like, ‘Oh my God! Why have I never even heard of this guy before?!’ The guy’s phenomenal! So I sent him the track that we cut up in Seattle, and he comes back with a killer set of lyrics and a killer vocal. This guy’s talented period ! I wanted to have a couple of guys on here who were unknowns. Everybody expected there would be a few name singers, but I wanted to kinda introduce a couple guys too. "When I heard his stuff I had no problem giving him a shot at this tune he did an awesome job!"
Andrew does appear as a special guest on Howard Leese's new alblum SECRET WEAPON
