You know I love this post :) Also, it never occurred to me until I watched this Isle of Wight clip for the umpteenth time how much Ace Frehley played like Paul K.
Thanks for sharing. The first time I saw the MC5 documentary (I was lucky enough to get a DVD before Kramer put the lid on it (I was going to say kibosh but not sure if that's the right word)) I thought the footage had been sped up. If there is one band I wish I could have seen live... (though not at Chicago Field with that police mayhem). The closest I think I got was IDLES in 2019. The best gig of the last decade, I may never be similarly impacted again in fact. However, they weren't as young then, even, as MC5 in this show. It is astonishing to watch.
On the other hand, Kossoff's gurning (that one IS the right word!) doesn't do it for me. I'll take The Who at the Isle of Wight 1970 any day of the week over Free, despite the couple of evergreens that deserve to be. Watching Kossoff wailing right in front those Marshall stacks, I can only conclude that if he did not end up with tinnitus, nobody should!
How many microphones is Paul Rodgers singing into?
It IS a rather puzzling cluster, isn't it?
I’ve seen two before, but that looks like three. One of them is getting kind of far afield from his actual mouth, it seems.
And why is the mic closest to his face without a windscreen?

Oh, totally!
Ha!! I love this clip. Thanks for turning me on to this one.
Which one?

Hahaha — you'd be gurning too with that many Marshall watts inches away from your ears!
