Hi people,

DANGER!! CHEEZ ALERT!!

Me an' John have been passing this back and forwards for a while now. It's taken it's time in coming, but here ... AT LAST!! ... is our latest collab'

Hope you enjoy listening as much as I did playing it (and bugging John over it!)

Paul Kossoff (God rest 'im) could do no wrong in my eyes. Yeah, sure, he wasn't a technical or show-off flashy player ... but no-one ... and I mean NO-ONE put more soul into their simple pentatonic and blues scale runs - and that's what makes the difference to me ... you could feel his heart and mind coming thru' his fingertips into those extra thick strings he used.

When you've got a LP ... you've GOTTA play some Free. It's in the rule book

Just hope I did it justice. It ain't completely like the original, but I hope it's close enough to the style to pay due tribute to the late, great man (as John did also for Paul Rodgers).

Here ya go ... Blues-Rock for ya on a plate. Wishing Well. Played thru my Vamp and recorded with Cubase.

Thanks again John ... and especially for your patience.

:rock: :rock:

its about f@cking time you put something up john. and i see you had the sense to hire the perfect singer for this song too. being the owner of a lespaul i know what you mean about free. yours sure sounded sweet on this and the leadwork was making me smile the whole way through. breasts for everyone involved:boobies: :boobies: :boobies: :boobies:

Can never get enough breasts mate ... unless it's MAN-boobs ... like mine and Wah's and Mondy's!!! :notme:

BTW guys ... if you're listening ... the flat response in the embedded player doesn't do it justice .... download it an' run it in a player with eq ... CRANK them bass and mid frequencies!! :lol:

Fantastic collab fellows!:yourock:

My favorite Free track, and a very cool cover. Great job guys.

:thumb: This cover makes me want 2 things....
A Les Paul and a better voice:D

It is so great to hear you play again Captain and glad to see you hired a great vocalist there;)

This was awesome, great mix , great guitars and great vox....A real nice fitting tribute to Paul Kossoff, he was phenominal:bowdown:

A big 5 from me guys and a Nom when it is nom time:p

Smokin tune! I don't really know much Free, but I do have a Les Paul. (I think mine might get revoked since I have now read the manual). :)

I would pay to watch you guys do this live. It's really so pro. Fully impressive. Great to hear JPF on vocals. Makes me wonder why he is not selling CD's?
Capt...that was a great tone! Would make a Marshall envious! Very nice chops! You both rock!! :yourock: :yourock: :rock:

Pretty good collab! Well done. :yourock:

love this tune..and free :woot:

done a great job on this chaps..guitars sounded sweet and john filled in for paul rodgers very nicely [no mean feat!] :yourock:

Im glad that took a long time to come together! Great collab, great vox and a les paul..... ahem, great stuff guys.:rock:

Awesome job guys! Loved it!:yourock:

Thanks for all the nice replies guy's and gals!!! Yea, it's been a long time coming for me and John to get something up here, but it finally happened!!! I thought he did an amazing job on the guitars here, and it came together quite nicely i think!!! Thanks again folks!!!:yourock:

That was fantastic fellas , Cap always a pleasure listening to you make that guitar sing m8, this being no exception either as the guitarwork was excellent throughout the song , as for John well i don't think you can go wrong with having his vocal talents on any song , pulled a blinder as usual to and gave a fantastic peformance aswell :rock: :rock:
5 stars fellas on a fantastic cover :rock: :rock:

Hey, does this count as a pimp??

he!

Thanks Shuffle-D, Stereo, Janelle, Ba ... err-r ... was there someone else ... JPF? (who?) :lol: HOW could I forget?? :notme:

Appreciate your comments guys

Great collab guys, you kick ass!

My shoes are off ....The Captain and JPF Rocking out big time here ...Class guys loved it ...you cant beat a bit of classic rock done well :woot: :yourock:

Excellent work guys, always liked Free, and this is a cracking song that you guys more then did justice too, the guitaring and backing were just as i remember them Cap, great work there, and equally so on the vocals John, you sound excellent here as always.
5 big stars for u guys, top job :thumb:

SCHMOKING! Lovely stuff Spas...with the perfect vocal on top. :thumb:

Netrom, Av, Chris ... cheers mates.

I really enjoyed doing this, cos I used to play it in the cheesy classic-rock covers band I was forced to leave through re-locating to Scotland earlier this year.

Linda, nice to see you dancing round yer handbag with yer shoes off ... but don't forget and leave it behind when it's closing time... I ain't driving all the way back to The Hardwick from Glasgow just to pick it up for you again! :maddance:

Thanks guys!

Hey guys this kicked ass! I wished in the wishing well and ummm...well that Viper still isn't in my garage! lol... :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: I'm diggin this big time! Great playing CS and ya just can't go wrong my brotha from another motha John on vox! Great work guys!

~kev

ya just can't go wrong my brotha from another motha John on vox!

Yeah, I've sorta come to realise that over the past two years or so!

Thanks for stopping by Kev ... appreciated :thumb:

Awesome combination of talent on display and a rockin' song choice. Been hearing All Right Now quite a bit lately (TV commercial or something), so I've had Free on the brain for a while. If I didn't know John's voice so well, would have thought this was a vintage recording.

I take off my hat to you guys !!!!!!!

Great take !!!!!!!!!!:thumb:

Curse my Classic Rock ignorance, never heard much of Free's stuff (except the tune from that well known chewgum commercial). Loved this cover tune guys, stands tall on its on without knowing the original. Classy solid guitar work,same for the vox. Really enjoyed this one.:thumb: top marks.

Hey! Thenks Joe, Geordie & Justin!

Thanks for taking the time compadres :D

Oh yeah! :rock: I love Free, and you guys kicked ass on this one! Sounds much better sound-wise than the last one ya posted Cap, levels all cool and smashed compressed here, but that´s what this kinda stuff begs for. Ya sure paid an awesome tribute to Kossov man, and JPF, your singing sounds MUCH better to me than Rodgers´, his yoddling has always got on my nerves, but ya deff kicked ass here as well.
BTW Cap, answering to some subtle comment done elsewhere :notme:, I just think multi-quoting messages every few posts and then letting things drain out for letting the rest of people´s fresh uploads be up and listened to ain´t that hard to do, :lol:

Thanks Tony ... The last one? ... Oh yeah ... Parisienne ... that was recorded around 9-10 months ago and was my first attempted recording with my Love Rock.

Learning all the time mate (and hopefully getting better at it).

Thanks for the good comments :D

This is wonderful and really cool hybrid between the Gary Moore version and the original - but with even more guitar!! Really impressive indeed! And one of the LOUDEST guitar solos ever!!! Stunning playing Captain. And superlative vocals from the Maestro!

Gotta be 5!

And one of the LOUDEST guitar solos ever!!!

:notme:








Well you really didn't expect anything ELSE now did ya? :toothless:

Cheers Lawrence

Great stuff! probably the most played song in club/pub land ever . You know no matter how often i hear this track i never sicken of it , it has that ridiculously simple riff ( why cant i invent that:headscratch: ) that grabs you , and your gone .

Nice tones Capitan , dam i hate it when other people get better tones from V-Amps than me :mad1: , i must read the manual again . and hey whats this !!!!!!!!!!!

you've stolen my vocalist :mad1: :mad1: , you give him back hes mine i tell you , all mine :mad1: . Great vocals John , you're a bloody star for sure .

You know talking of Paul Koss , rumor has it he was plain awful at playing rhythm , in fact Andy Fraser was the guy that taught Koss the chords , worse still i heard somewhere that Paul Rogers played most of the rhythm and solos on the last 2 albums , and possibly this one . If anybody knows that to be true please clarify .

Not that it would make me dislike Koss , i love those early Free albums , and that unmistakable vibrato he used . Nobody gets close to that , which i find odd because its such a good technique , but it is hard to do.

Anyway guys , killer track , really awesome !!!!!!

As if YOU need to get better tones mate!!!

OK - just for info, I record thru the S/PDIF digital outlet straight into my soundcard. What I THEN do is to set the V-amp to "L1" mode, i.e. with cab sims and 3-way eq - then I boost the treble in the 3-way eq adjustment - even if I have to cut the gain back a bit to compensate and avoid overloading the signal.

This seems to brightens the sound up a treat for me and gives it more of a 'real' sound. I always find the V-amp to sound more than a little 'muddy' with the speaker sims active when recording direct if I DON'T boost the treble. But then for live or rehearsing, I have to cut the treble back to 'flat' and restore the gain level for analogue output to the front end of my poweramp.



and hey whats this !!!!!!!!!!!

you've stolen my vocalist :mad1: :mad1: , you give him back hes mine i tell you , all mine :mad1: . Great vocals John , you're a bloody star for sure .

No WAY Jose! ... he's MINE now ... and you'll have to come to Glasgow to fight me for 'im
:chucks:
