BAD COMPANY – In Concert: Merchants of Cool

With only two original members, my hopes were not exactly sky-high for this release. A live album, featuring performances of old Bad Company songs (and Free’s “All right now”) by this lineup. But boy, was I ever in for a nice surprise! Paul Rodgers in top form, and backed by a inspired band, this concert really rocks. With all the hits, two new songs, and some of my personal favorites (“Silver, blue and gold”), this is a necessary reminder for those of us that have forgotten about the greatness of Bad Company. Forgive me- you guys rock. Lesson learned!

Highlights: Silver, blue and gold, Rock’n roll fantasy, Ready for love, Joe Fabulous, Rock steady
