The Law were an English rock group formed in 1991 comprising drummer Kenney Jones (Small Faces, The Who) and singer Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company). The two teamed up with the idea of using different supporting musicians, in order to allow Paul Rodgers to pursue whatever musical style he felt like. They assembled a core band of studio musicians, including guitarist John Staehely and bassist Pino Palladino, and landed guest spots from guitarists like David Gilmour, Bryan Adams, and Chris Rea. They produced Billboard's #1 AOR Chart hit "Laying Down The Law" written by Rodgers, but the album peaked at a disappointing #126 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart. An album of outtakes from the first album has been released as a bootleg, often referred to as The Law II. Aside from the single, the album was received very poorly by the critics and the public which led to disbanding of the group.
The Law played one show at Milton Keynes National Bowl supporting ZZ Top and Bryan Adams; they were joined for this show by John Young on keyboards. After being introduced by Tommy Vance, their performance produced mute response for the album tracks, unlike their final song, "All Right Now", which resulted in instant audience participation.
The Law derived its name, and the title of its only single, "Layin' Down the Law", from the 1970s American band Law, that recorded two albums on MCA Records. When that band opened for Bad Company at the Cleveland Agora circa 1975, Paul Rodgers told Law's guitar player, "I like the name of your band." Some twenty years later, he borrowed the name for his own band.
This is a very listenable audience recording so Paul Rogers fans download this piece of history that no fans collection should be without. Sorry I only have a lossy version.
