To my ears, as a Stones nutter and Springsteen superfan, having traveled continents to see both, Free were the worlds best band for a few short years and this IS the greatest ever single, by anyone.
I vividly remember a show in Perth on May 6, 1971 at Beatty Park Aquatic Centre. A three pronged lineup of international stars. Manfred Mann, Free and Deep Purple. All the bands in the prime of their careers with the best possible individual lineups of players. Original lineups. Awesome trio of acts. Stupendous show. Deep Purple were outrageously great, and loud, but Free just tore them to shreds. They were just mind bogglingly brilliant. Masters of blues rock, infused with soul and pop. Paul Kossoff...wow, what a guitarist!!!

Fantastic, must have been great!
But the original Deep Purple had a different lineup. A totally different sound on the two first albums.

By that point, Purple would have had their Mk 2 classic lineup. In Rock was released in 1970 and Fireball would be released in a couple months.

The first guitar solo I ever learned!
Brilliant bass player, brilliant guitarist and great sounding singer. Drummer not half bad either

Sorry yes Deep Purple played most of the In Rock album. It was indeed their classic lineup. And despite me going primarily to see them, Free blew them away.

Hey Paddy, I know you're in the Vancouver area. Did you know Paul Rodgers lives in Summerland? His wife, a former Miss Canada, is from there. My brother saw him in concert in nearby Penticton and at the end, Paul said something to the effect that he'll be home in 15 minutes. I'm sure he must have a few houses around the world.

Is this the "I said 'Now look babe' with the crunching guitar that's played on Vlassic Rawk radio EVERY DAY in the US?
Can't stand this tune. I know it's good but it's played as much as Motley Crue's Girls Girls Girls and that Time by Pink Floyd.

I don't think that one is played on US classic rock stations (even though Metallica did cover it in Norway)
