Bad Company

Postby Triple S » Sat Aug 17, 2013 12:06 pm

Anyone here seen the 40th anniversary tour this year? I just bought tickets for a September show, from what I've seen on YouTube really looking forward to it. 64 years old - damn PR sounds good :)

Wish I'd been able to see it but they didn't play in my area.

Oh, and apparently they are reissuing Holy Water and Dangerous Age as a 2 on 1 CD sometime in September.

if it's anything like it was a year or two ago, it's a good show, but almost a ripoff at 80 minutes long. With the prices today, that's simply unacceptable for a headline act.

I saw them a couple of years ago and the band sounded great. Paul still has an amazing voice and stage presence. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I saw them with Brian Howe back in the early 90's with Damn Yankees and was amazed at their live sound... by far the best i've ever heard.

I saw Bad Company with Brian Howe with Winger opening and had a good time at the show.

Fabulous show last night. Paul does indeed sound great and has amazing stage presence (looks pretty damn fine for 64 too :wink: ). I agree it's pretty disappointing to only have a 90 minute show for the prices; it was the same when Heart played here earlier this year. That's OK though - I feel fortunate to have seen 2 of my favorite bands grace the stage in our small city this year (actually 3, if I count Honeymoon Suite - and that one was free :D ). Next up is Colin James in a 500-seat theatre, really looking forward to that one.

I did know that :wink: - just minutes from where I live now (and where the show was last night).

Thanks SC :) - Ready for Love - probably my favorite BC song. Here's my lone video from the show - lousy picture but good sound. Floor seating sucks unless you're in the first few rows or tall - neither of which is the case with me :wink:

Paul has always found great muscicians to work with. Back in the 90s, I thought Paul Rogers and Company was going to become the new Bad Company only with Simon on drums.

Can't Get Enough from Montreux 1994. Check out this line-up - Bonaham on Drums, Luke and Schon on Guitars. Fun stuff here.

Just came across this one too: Stormy Monday- Paul with Luke, Joe Perry, Michael Anthony and Jason Bonaham

Well, how about that?! :mrgreen: You're lone vid is also my favorite BadCo tune.

Thanks for filming and posting online. Great sound for a homemade vid. I'll have to rip that. I'll link it when I do.

Cheers!

Here's the link to an mp3 of TripleS's BadCo vid. Came out really good.

Not sure how many downloads it'll allow. Guess we'll find out.

Thanks SC :) . Yeah - that video was done with my phone - sound always comes out great but not the video because I can't zoom.

Nice review of the show here and some great photos (this article doesn't mention it but I read somewhere else that Paul drove his own car to the show - he does live just a few miles from here but I just thought that was pretty cool 8) )
