Although Free made excellent studio records, this live album is perhaps the best way to experience the band in all its glory. Led by singer/guitarist Paul Rodgers and lead guitarist Paul Kossoff, the band swings through nine songs with power, clarity, and a dose of funk. Of course, the hit single "All Right Now" is gleefully extended, much to the audience's and listener's delight. Superbly recorded by Andy Johns, this is one of the greatest live albums of the 1970s. [Free Live was re-released in 2002 as a British import featuring seven bonus tracks.] ~ Matthew Greenwald, All Music Guide
@ Brent Stavig: Outstanding detective work. If only there had been some way to indicate it was a live album from the get-go, we could have avoided all of this unnecessary confusion after the fact. Perhaps they could have come up with a specially-worded title? I have a hard time visualizing how something like that would work. Maybe science will have an answer for us some time in the future.
