Free
Live Stockholm, Sweden 1970
MP3 320
Ex*Original Notes
This is the last of the 3 well-recorded live sets of Free in 1970.
The 2 previous (Sunderland Locarno and Croydon) have been posted previously. Don't expect the
intensity of these live shows. This one is strangely weak and rather soporific. A day off it
seems. Probably the fact that the radio studio with a small audience doesn't stimulate their
adrenals enough. At the begining of the set, Paul Rodgers says they have been relax in Sweden,
and unfortunately, it's quite obvious when listening to the show. Everything seems to be taken
on a slow pace and chosen songs are mainly the sad and melancholic ones. Paul Kossoff is
fantastic on one song ("Be My Friend") but rather catastrophic on many songs,
notably "Mr Big" that is the shittiest version I heard by Free. All in all, an interesting but
rather deceiving testimony of the well-known uneven quality of their presentations.
Enjoy however here.
