“Bad Company distilled the best of what rock ‘n’ roll is about,” said Joe Perry of Aerosmith.

Bad Company’s debut struck Brian May and his bandmates in Queen like “a bolt from the blue.”

Guitarist Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynyrd called Bad Company “one of the best bands ever.”

And lead singer Paul Rodgers was regarded by Lou Gramm of Foreigner as “the definitive rock voice.”

But while “the qualities that make for an exceptional singer may seem obvious” according to Paul Stanley of KISS, “one key ingredient is actually elusive in the equation: the ability to connect with a lyric and communicate the emotion to the listener.  That’s what sets Paul Rodgers apart from the multitude of tune carriers.”

Join Great Moments in Vinyl for our next concert at The Lyric Theater when we tell the stories and play the songs of Bad Company.  (Tickets available here.) As one of the most influential rock bands of the ’70s, they made their mark with 20 million records sold in the U. S. and 40 million worldwide.  We’ll pay tribute to their iconic era as heroes of album rock and honor the impact of vocalist Paul Rodgers during his work with Free and The Firm.  Sit back and get ready to rock.  Because when you know the stories, you hear more in the music.
