There’s been a lot of debate over QUEENS’s recruitment of Paul Rodgers as the successor to Freddy Mercury. Fact is that no-one can replace Freddy Mercury, and that QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS is an entirely different band. Still, if anyone could come close, it’s Paul Rodgers, arguably one of rock’s best vocalists in history. Although I quite like QUEEN-new-style, you just can’t beat Rodgers doing his own material. His newest live album gives a blueprint of what the man stands for. Quite a lot of FREE songs – the classics, obviously (“Wishing Well”, “All Right Now”, “Fire And Water”) but also a few you wouldn’t expect: “I’ll Be Creepin’”, “Ride On A Pony”, “I’m A Mover” and a few more. The expected BAD COMPANY classics are also here (“Can’t get Enough”, “Feel Like Makin’ Love”, “Bad Company”,…) , and even “Radioactive”, from THE FIRM (Rodgers’s collaboration with Jimmy Page) is played, although I’m not too fond of this version, I’m afraid. Still, there’s very little to complain about. Even when you are just beginning to realise that guitarists Howard Leese (ex-HEART) and 17-year-old Kurtis Dengler just can’t fill (FREE’s) Paul Kossoff’s shoes, they pull off the most magical twin guitar solo, in FREE’s “Be My Friend”, one of my personal favourites. The album also contains a new song, the fantastic “Warboys (A Prayer For Peace)”. Get “Live In Glasgow” fast and listen to the Voice…
