In the UK we had Cream with their extravagant busy musical showmanship...That ended in 1968...Come 1968 onwards, we were charmed by Free ...a 4 piece blues-rock band that had another angle...with space, soulful vocals and another great,original guitarist...Paul Kossoff...His influence on me, aged 14 and beyond, was essential...His bends and vibrato (which we called 'The Koss Wave') were so expressive and exciting to us youthful bluesniks. Andy Fraser's bass was melodic and creative too.
Me and my friends were lucky enough to witness almost all of the 2 sets played this day. We had tickets for the 2nd show...and like typical young fans we got to the venue hours before our set began. We sneaked into the hall after a few minutes of the first set and nobody questioned us... Here are recordings of this gig from these 2 sessions (Some do appear on the original album 'Free - Live') Thanks to the original poster - Cheers Gus
