Summary: Mediocre rehash.
Review: Bad Company had some memorable AOR anthems in the '70s, but this version of "Bad Company" reminds me of the groups that are now touring under the names of old groups such as "The Temptations" without any original members... Newsflash: there were four members of Bad Company, and only two of them play on this DVD.

In addition, there are several problems related to the performance. First, Paul Rodgers twice has the audience sing major portions of songs ("Shooting Star" and "Alright Now"). This may be fun for the audience.. either way, it makes for a lousy recording. Rodgers doesn't sing the last verse of "Shooting Star" or ANY REFRAIN of "Alright Now," and the audience is inaudible... Why isn't "Hammer of Love" on here?

In short, it's a fun DVD, but it definitely could be better. Too bad they didn't film a concert in 1979 that they could release on DVD now!

Summary: Bad Company Still Kicks [rear]!
Review: Being a loyal fan of one of rock's biggest solid blues-rock bands, I must admit the first time I heard Bad Company in the 70's I was blown away, and now in the New Millenium, they still blow me away. Cudos to Paul Rodgers, one of rocks best lead vocalists. If you haven't seen them in concert, buy the DVD, if you have, buy the DVD and relive some of the greatest moments in rock history.

Summary: Bad Company, Great Concert!
Review: Even though this isn't the "Original" line-up (I knew that when I purchased the dvd), I did enjoy this. A lot! The songs themselves are so excellent, the playing and performance of each band member is top notch. Paul Rodgers not only looks better than I remembered, but sounds better too! His voice is still the best and he remains my favorite singer.

The sound quality of this dvd is great, the extras (interviews, backstage) are wonderful. A very well put together dvd sure to satisfy the fans. I only wish the "Original" Bad Company had decided to record a live concert when they re-united a few years ago. That would've been a dream come true! To date there has never been an "Original" Bad Company live release, in any format. It's a bit sad.

Summary: Sleepy set
Review: First off Paul Rodgers voice is superb and his stage presence is unmatched. Contrasting this is Dave "Bucket" Colwell. While he is visually a dead ringer for Mick ralphs, his playing reminds me of my Bad Co interpretations while learning the guitar. There doesn't seem to be a rawness to this performance. Great moments and some not so great. Watch first before you buy.

Summary: milly vanilly
Review: i dont know how all these people can say this is a great concert dvd,almost every song paul rodgers sings he turns over to the audience to sing the best parts.the songs dont even come close to how the original recordings sound.you could tell he had the ability to but he must of felt it was okay to give the audience a lack-luster performance...very sad totally disappointed.kinda reminds me of milly vanilly where sombody else sang for them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Merhchants of Cool is simply Fabulous !!
Review: I have been a fan of Paul Rodgers almost 32 years. I can honestly say his voice is just amazing. At long last a concert with live footage, now you can witness a legend I have been loving for most of my life. The whole band sounds Brilliant.... The single Joe Fabulous is a killer. Can't wait to see him live in concert this summer.
