Bad Company (Paul Rodgers, Mick Bad Ralphs, Boz Burrell & Simon Kirke) were among the finest exponents of blues-infused hard rock during their prime in the 70s. This double album documenting two shows from 1977 and 1979 respectively. The 1977 gig was recorded at Summit House in Houston, Texas. The title track is a brazenly muscular opener, Paul Rodgers' unimpeachable bluesy holler leading the overdriven tones of former Mott The Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs. "Morning Sun" proves they could do slow and soulful. The second show was recorded at The Empire Pool (now Wembley Arena) in London. If "Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy" and "Evil Wind" groove convincingly, it's the tracks from their self-titled debut that steal both shows. Bad Company remains an atmospheric blues rock masterclass, while "Feel Like Makin' Love" and "Shooting Star" are what stadium rock shows were invented for.
