Info zu Live In Concert 1977 & 1979 (Remastered)

Obwohl Bad Company als eine der besten Live-Stadion-Bands der siebziger Jahre gelten, veröffentlichten sie nie ein offizielles Live-Album. Mit 'Live In Concert 1977 & 1979' beenden Rhino Records diesen unhaltbaren Zustand nun zum 29. April 2016. Es ist zugleich das erste offizielle Live-Album, das die Band im Original-Line-Up mit Paul Rodgers, Mick Ralphs, Simon Kirke und Boz Burnell präsentiert. 'Live In Concert 1977 & 1979' erscheint als Doppel-CD mit über zweieinhalb Stunden Spieldauer. Im Laufe des Jahres werden beide Konzerte überdies jeweils extra als Doppel-Vinyl-LPs veröffentlicht werden.

'Live In Concert 1977 & 1979' präsentiert zwei komplette, bisher unveröffentlichte Konzerte plus den zusätzlichen Track 'Hey Joe' aus einer Show vom 26. Juni 1979 in Washington, DC. Alle Aufnahmen stammen von Original 24-Spur-Bändern aus den Archiven der Band. Sie zeigen Bad Company live in Reinkultur: Es wurden keinerlei Over Dubs oder sonstigen Veränderungen vorgenommen, alles, was man zu hören bekommt, stammt original aus den Performances der jeweiligen Konzerte.

Teil 1 wurde während des Konzertes im Summit House, Texas, am 23. Mai 1977 mitgeschnitten, als die Band mit ihrem vierten Album 'Burning Sky' auf Tour war. Unter den Highlights, die die Fans zum Rasen brachten, befanden sich herausragende Versionen von 'Shooting Star', 'Ready For Love', 'Good Lovin‘ Gone Bad' und 'Feel Like Makin‘ Love'. Teil 2 katapultiert den Hörer dann gut zwei Jahre weiter: Am 9. März 1979 spielten Bad Company während ihrer Tour zum Album 'Desolation Angels' in London. Neben einigen Songs von früheren Alben, die nicht auf dem Konzert von Disc 1 enthalten sind, etwa 'Run With The Pack', 'Rock Steady' und 'Can’t Get Enough', stellten sie mit 'Rock’n’Roll Fantasy', 'Gone, Gone, Gone' und 'She Brings Me Love' auch einige Tracks aus dem damals neuen Album vor.

„Grundsätzlich lässt sich sagen, dass die Band bis auf wenige Ausnahmen relativ nahe an den Studio-Arrangements ihrer Songs bleibt. Das etwas rauere Live-Umfeld tut den Stücken aber durchweg gut, waren einige in ihren Studioversionen doch einen Tick zu handzahm. Dass Bad Company insbesondere auf der 1979er-Tournee ihre erfolgreichsten Jahre schon hinter sich hatten, merkt man den Aufnahmen an keiner Stelle an. „Live 1977 & 1979“ ist ein ausgesprochen lohnenswerter Doppelpack in Sachen Old School Rock. Zugreifen!“ (Dieter Hoffmann, www.betreutesproggen.de)

Bad Company
One of the most acclaimed bands of the classic rock era, England's Bad Company has put its indelible stamp on rock 'n' roll with a straight-ahead, no-frills musical approach that has resulted in the creation of some of the most timeless rock anthems ever. Led by the incomparable singer and songwriter Paul Rodgers, arguably the finest singer in rock 'n ' roll and a huge songwriting talent.

Formed in 1973, Bad Company came to life when Rodgers was looking to start anew after the disintegration of his legendary band Free. His powerhouse vocals and songwriting were a main ingredient during Free's impressive five-year run; a period of time that saw the release of seven extremely influential albums that featured Free's minimalist blues-rock approach. Included among Free's dynamic body of work is the 1970 smash, 'All Right Now,' one of the most recognizable rock anthems ever recorded. Lyrics and melody by Rodgers. He was Free’s main songwriter.

Rodgers had met Mott The Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs and after jamming together and listening to new songs that Ralphs had penned and songs that Rodgers had penned, Ralphs made the decision to leave Mott and form a new band with Rodgers. The duo recruited former King Crimson bassist/vocalist Boz Burrell, added drummer Simon Kirke and Rodgers Christened the band Bad Company. Rodgers’ brought in Led Zeppelin manager Peter Grant and Bad Company became the first band signed to Zeppelin's Swan Song label. 'I had to fight to get the management and the record company to accept the name Bad Company,' explains Rodgers. 'They thought it was a terrible name. Peter Grant called a meeting and the band met beforehand. I told them that I had been through this before with Free as Island Records had wanted to call us the Heavy Metal Kids. We agreed to go in and tell them that we were going to be called Bad Company and that was the end of the story. As soon as Peter heard how strongly I felt about the name, he became very supportive and together we turned the record company around.'

Bad Company was an instant hit worldwide. Their 1974 self-titled debut went platinum five times over and featured the smash hits, 'Can't Get Enough,' (a Number One single) and 'Movin' On' along with electrifying rock anthems like 'Ready For Love,' 'Rock Steady' and the title track. Because of their association with Grant, a unique opportunity arose for them when it came time to record that classic first album in November 1973. 'We were bursting at the seams to get into the recording studio,' says Rodgers. 'Led Zeppelin had a mobile studio together at Headley Grange all ready to go, but they were delayed for two weeks. Peter told us that if we were quick, we could probably use the studio to lay a couple of tracks down. We steamed in and put the entire album down. Headley Grange was very atmospheric. We had the drums set up in the hallway and the guitars in the living room. We did interesting experiments like placing the vocal microphone way out in the fields for the song 'Bad Company.' We recorded that track late at night underneath a fall moon.'

The eight tracks recorded at Headley Grange clearly defined the band's stripped-down sound. Rock, blues and even country influences were skillfully layered within songs such as the beautiful Rodgers-penned ballad 'Seagull,' the straight-ahead rock of 'Movin' On' and 'Rocky Steady.' Also featured from those fertile sessions at Headley Grange are 'Little Miss Fortune,' the brooding blues rock classic 'Ready For Love' and the previously unreleased 'Superstar Woman.' While 'Superstar Woman' ultimately did not become part of Bad Company's catalog, Rodgers' belief in the song never diminished. He would eventually record a new version of the song for 'Cut Loose,' his 1983 solo album. Read more at www.badcompany.com
