FREE - Ride On Pony (Doing Their Thing, 1970) Official Live Video

such a beautiful raw sound! but it is not the instruments, amps and engineering only - it is this energy of these young "hippie" bands..

Simon Kirke does minimalist drumming so well. There is a lot of feel to his drumming, and he is so INTO it.

How this was created by 21 year old and under kids unreal. They wonder whats wrong with kids today its this, IMO the onlty vision most young people have today is fame and money and the latest viral video. In the 50's and 60's and 70's kids had a vision and a goal but money and fame were secondary, it became primary in a lot and thats why they broke up or tragedy struck. But for the most part it was all about the music and the enjoyment of connecting with bandmates and the audience. That was it. Everything else came after. Some of the best music ever made by humans was in this era by mostly young adults and teenagers.

Hey boomers!
Go check out some Pat Travers.
Forget about him?
Another great bassist and metal drummer.

What a horrid performance. Geez.

The back of the speakers have Juicy Lucy written on them I saw them live at Bridlington Spa, England, in 1970. One of their speakers or amp exploded and caught fire. About 8 of us went, all on motorbikes. Happy days !!

The syncopation of Free live is like a finely crafted Swiss time piece--dead on the money. They are the standard bearer.

Paul kossoff!.... Tone

RIP the two members of Free
Paul Kossoff (September 14, 1950 – March 19, 1976), aged 25
Andy Fraser (July 3, 1952 – March 16, 2015), aged 62
You both will be remembered as legends.

i can't believe i never heard this song before maybe i don't know t o d infinity chapter 8

kIrke holding all together with his drumming. Im sure it was not an easy job with these other playful guys 🙂

so orginal and groovie rock. ( sorry bout my Spellliing )

jimminy cricket wow

Fabulous Fabulous!!!!

Esto es magia 😮😮😮😮😮

Ooooohhh yeah !!

They're so comfortable in the groove and in the performance, amazing. When you're so good at your instruments, and so vibing the material that every touch of the strings is magic.

A sad end for a brilliant and talented guitarist! This song often drives me to tears for the way it is played , yet for the loss of Paul kossoff. Rest in peace🙏😰

Che epoca musisciti veri bravi

A good band that became a great band. From Free to Bad Company!

So underrated. Paul Kossoff just blows me away!

One of the best bands ever. They had it all. Best rhythm section, singer and guitarist!

U don't need to say that your Bartle doooo

Andy Fraser bass and that damned vibrato from Koss. Never bettered.

Great Bass. Andy Fraser..

They were a bloody tight band!! Great performance by all of them

I feel this all the way down in my toes. Love this!!!

Big fan of Orange Amplification and Celestian V30 and many others.

how are those people just sitting there?

The greatest live nd I have ever seen. Great on record, but unbelievable brilliant on stage.

Natural pure voice❤

This album was just one long song. Notice I said song not songs. They are all pretty much the same song with different lyrics. Mr. Big, Ride On Pony, All Right Now….talented band but limited song writing ability. Compare that to other bands of the day, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath., Deep Purple etc.. much broader song writing and instrumentation abilities, especially Zeppelin album to album always different and always exceptional.

Is “Juicy Lucy” a type of amp? Not a musician but have seen the term used before…

Mesmerizing .masterful. archetypical quartet. Love the rural imagery of " riding on a pony in the middle of the night". The kid from the mountain . Living "a hundred miles from town".

great stuff

Cada vez que escuto o Free fico impressionado com a qualidade musical dos então, garotos de vinte anos. É incrível como tocavam bem e cantar então, nem se fala.

Paul Rodgers can sing a dictionary and it would sound F’ing awesome

I keep saying I'm surprised Debbie you ride the pony that hard

Andy was a Mayall Bluesbreaker @ 15.

Go ed Paul 🔥

The invisible member present. Tip - top.

True music. No gimmicks or tricks. The reason I picked up a guitar. That's fun! It truly sets you free in this troubled world. Just play. Oh, one other thing. Cannot top Paul's blues vocals with his perfect timbre for raw rock. Yeah baby, yeah!

Sorry, thought man, Rod Stewart wrote an amazing song

Agree with the comments .
Fraser truly up there as one of the best .
Kossof....nuff said.
One of the great bands which could never be copied.

Those poor boys were Skin and Bones back in the day

FREE was a really kick butt rock band. I really like their music.

Rodgers was unquestionably one of the greatest rock singers - someone line Robert Plant could surely only look on and envy. Kossoff a great guitarist, no question. And the true beating heart of this wonderful but still underrated band was Andy Fraser. Truly spectacular palying. Love this song.

Super groupe ! Un groove terrible , super musiciens et chanteur hors pair !

My favorite Band of all time !

I still to This day believe Paul Rodgers is the best voice in rock.. Ever
