The other day in Boston, I saw a Bad Company concert as part of their American tour. This was my first actual ROCK concert, (I've been to Jackson Browne and some piano recitals) and I loved it. Bad Company proved that there is no school like the old school.
They had three of the original band members, and some additional players, and played all the hits. Some of my favorites were when they did, Can't get enough of your love, seagull, simple man, ready for love and, of course, Bad Company.
Bad Co. is really fun in concert, because they are a real performance band, several times in the show, Paul Rogers swung around the mic stand. He also took his shirt off, so from where I was sitting, he looked like Wolverine in Jimmy Page pants.
As with the Stones, Bad Company focuses their music on hard, simple guitar riffs, which make them easy to jam too, you could tell that the band was having fun.
If you get the chance, I highly recommend seeing Bad Company in concert, because on this tour, they record the concert and give you an album of it, before you leave the theater. As I write this I am listening to myself singing "Shooting Star" with the rest of the crowd.
