Free - The Free Story (DVD)

Were Free the greatest blues rock band ever? …discuss. The Free Story was the album that epitomised the genius of Free. This is the long awaited retrospective film study of the album and the legendary blues rock band behind All Right Now - the most played record on commercial radio. Free was an inspiration to hordes of imitators and millions of fans; but until now there has never been an authoritative, independent review of the factors to discover how this legendary outfit grew from playing on the blues club circuit to become a worldwide classic rock phenomenon. Drawing on rare footage of the band in performance plus new in depth interviews with Simon Kirke and John Rabbit Bundrick, this powerful and penetrating film features the impartial and forthright views of a leading team of critics and working musicians. Step outside the sanitised world of official releases and take a long hard analytical look at the Free legend. This hard hitting film critique pulls no punches and deals frankly with the thorny issue of Kossoff’s drug addiction. In order to ensure editorial freedom the film has not been censored, viewed or approved by past or present management or members of Free. Features rare archive performances of All Right Now, Mr Big, Songs of Yesterday and many more…
