A very stunning band to see live. I think some of their work is going to be reissued like the Not Fragile album! |

Their popularity here in this area was really limited to the 70s era. Holy Water in '90, with Brian Howe on vocals is half decent. Bad Company was one of the main blues rock bands here in the northeastern part of the United States during the 70s. Then you had blues rock bands like Aerosmith and so on. I get the impression that Bad Company was never that popular in the UK. At least, not as popular as they we're here in the US during the 70s anyway. Free, seems to be more popular of the two bands in the UK. |

One of the worst shows I ever saw in the '70's would easily be Bad Company (Running With the Pack tour, the only reason I knew that was the gigantic banner behind the stage). Sooooo boring, and at the end of EVERY SONG the stage lights went down, then came back up a different color. It was so predictable that by the end of the show, my brother and I laughed out loud & it became the only entertainment derived from their 90 minute set.
We went to see the opening act, Kansas, whom I loved as a young man but grew out of in my later years (certainly by the '90's I'd lost all interest). That being said, their energy and effort blew Bad Company out of the water. In fact I wish Bad Company were *in* the water, maybe they'd have drowned.

Free were popular for a time in the 1970s in the UK but nosedived after their album Highway flopped, but they never reached the commercial heights of Led Zeppelin their nearest musical rival, and occupied the next strata down with their other bluesy counterparts Humble Pie. Quote:

The problem was Bad Company were really just in it for the money and the only album they ever put out that was worthy of the individual talents of the band members was their debut. The second album wasn't bad but from then on it was usually bland rock.
