I downloaded this one from BigO a while back. The BigO notes are below:

Thanks to jswetch for sharing the Shark tracks at Dime.

jswetch noted:

This short Sharks set is being seeded now in tribute to Andy Fraser, who passed away… and, by request. Thanks to the original taper (from long ago) and seeder (from a few years back).This was Andy’s post-Free project that he only stayed with for one album, First Water. That is available now on CD, much more reasonably than it was a few years ago when this was first seeded. I actually saw Sharks opening for Gentle Giant in NYC, but it was the Busta Cherry on bass version, and not the incarnation with Andy.

Thanks to Jeff James; bpthree; and the person who shared the Free in Sweden tracks at Dime.

Uploader’s notes:

This great sounding radio show comes from a well packaged boot entitled “Radio Free”. It also contained four BBC tracks as outtakes, but I have chosen not to include them, as at least one is officially released, and the other three may be studio outtakes instead of BBC stuff. You obviously can’t trust anything you read on a boot as gospel. These guys even went to the extent of having the disc look like the pink Island label, with the customary bootleg “Not for sale - radio broadcast only” on the disc.

ANDY FRASER R.I.P. 1952-2015

Free bassist Andy Fraser, the writer of All Right Now - who had previously fought both AIDS and cancer - has died at his home on March 16, 2015 in California. He was 62. The cause of death has not been confirmed, but he’d been dealing with AIDS and cancer in recent years. In the 1980s he was diagnosed with HIV and a form of cancer called Kaposi’s Sarcoma and he battled with suicidal thoughts which, he wrote on his website, were only alleviated when he came out as gay. Fraser had recently been a leading light in the Rock Against Trafficking charity.

When I met Rosebud she was a big fan of the 2 albums by The Firm. She said she loved Paul Rodgers' voice. I told her if she loves The Firm she should hear Paul's work with Bad Company & Free. I was right and now we collect everything by all of Paul Rodgers' bands. When I added this digital download version of Free's Transmission Impossible to our collection Rosebud decided it had to be posted in the next round. So here it is for all fans of Paul Rodgers.

I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to re-edit some track marks and fix a couple drop ots. No EQ, noise eduction or remixing was needed. The waves were then encoded to MP3 320kbps because the DVD had lossy audio.

Andy Fraser died March 16, 2015 from a heart attack at the age of 62.

BigO Magazine's Brian Howe Obituary

BRIAN HOWE R.I.P. 1953 - 2020
Brian Howe, the singer who fronted the British rock supergroup Bad Company for eight years, has died on May 6, 2020. He had a heart attack at his Florida home. He was 66. Howe’s manager Paul Easton said: “It is with deep and profound sadness that we announce the untimely passing of a loving father, friend and musical icon.” Bad Company originally formed in 1973 by Free singer Paul Rodgers and Mott the Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs. After Rodgers left to form another supergroup with Jimmy Page, The Firm, Bad Company recruited Howe in 1986, and he went on to perform on four subsequent albums.

The band was at a low ebb when Howe joined, having fallen from their peak ’70s popularity with platinum-selling albums such as their self-titled debut, Straight Shooter, and Run With the Pack. But after helping to steer them away from the poppier sound of flop album Fame and Fortune, he returned them to success with 1990’s Holy Water, another platinum-seller in the US. He left Bad Company in 1994, later complaining: “The band was getting very very sloppy live. I quite simply, along with [songwriter-producer-guitarist] Terry Thomas, got tired of doing all the work.” The singer had also worked with Ted Nugent and Megadeth. - theguardian.com

6 Degrees Of Led Zeppelin Post # 11

Obvious choice of course since Bad Company recorded for Swan Song Records, Led Zeppelin's own record label.

When Led Zeppelin broke up Jimmy Page resurfaced with Paul Rodgers in The Firm.

This recording was made by the band for possible release as a live album but remained on the shelf for years. Cleopatra Records released the album in 2006 but Bad Company and their management stopped the distribution of the CD. Some copies leaked out and were immediate bootlegged.

We lost Boz Burrell on September 21, 2006. Boz was at rehearsals for his other group, The Shoe String Band when he suffered a sudden heart attack, he was 60.

Nice sounding FM recording from Gibson Guitar's 100th Birthday Celebration. An all-star cast of guitarists, all sponsored by Gibson, throw down some great Rock & Roll in praise of the world famous six string. CD 1 is made up of The Gibson All-Stars with various vocalists, as well as the bands Skin, Thunder, and Pride & Glory. CD 2 is Paul Rodgers jamming with an exceptional cast of guitar players. I highly recommend this to everyone!!!

justdave's notes:

When I got this recording it had a lot of sector boundary errors. I used Traders Little Helper to fix these errors and re-encoded the files to flac level 4 as in the original upload.

Paul Rodgers recorded a tribute to Blues Legend Muddy Waters in 1993 (which sadly is now unavailable). Paul's fans loved the CD and Paul went on a promotional tour for it. This great sounding Pre-FM recording is quite simply an absolute must have for all fans. Paul belts out his versions of some classic Muddy Waters tunes as well as the tribute track "Muddy Water Blues" written by Paul. Also on offer is the Bad Company classic "Can't Get Enough" and Free's "Alright Now". Because they are playing Electric Ladyland Studios the band also throws in an awesome blending of "Little Wing" and "Angel".

A great soundboard recording from Paul's set during the UDO Festival. Paul's website announced in 2006 that a DVD of his set was coming soon. To date it still hasn't been released. A few bootleg DVDs have though, and this recording comes from one. What a set, the band sounds tight and Paul is in fine voice. Nils Lofgren adds some tasty acoustic leads to "Simple Man", as well as some great leads and slide guitar to the rest of the set. Paul has been called The Voice Of Rock, I have also heard this term used for Glen Hughes, I can understand the title for both!

While researching this show I learned something about Paul Rodgers that has me respecting the man more than ever. Paul has been giving random fans in the audience $100 dollar bills with a note stating that the receiver should perform one act of random kindness in return. The program is called Paul's Prizes and Random Acts of Kindness. Follow the link below to read more about it and testimonials from fans.
