		What makes this Bad Company tour in question so special is that it will feature the classic lineup of Rodgers, Ralphs, drummer Simon Kirke and bassist Boz Burrell that debuted in 1974 as the first act on Led Zeppelin's Swan Song label.
		Take away the original six albums released by the quartet, and classic rock radio as we know it would declare a state of emergency: songs like "Ready For Love," "Movin' On," "Rock and Roll Fantasy" and "Shooting Star" are as vital to the format as any contributions from Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac or the Eagles.
		It was to that end that Rodgers and Ralphs reassembled the original pack last November to record four new songs for the double disc anthology, The 'Original' Bad Company Anthology.

		Named after the 1972 Robert Benton film of the same name, Bad Company were managed by Peter Grant (ex-Led Zeppelin) and went on to record six successful albums over the same number of years.
		Bad Company were resurrected in 1986 by Mick Ralphs and Simon Kirke, recruiting guitar stalwart Dave "Bucket" Colwell and Brian Howe on vocals.
		I guess for someone who's intimately familiar with the original recordings, the only real criticism is that the guitar sounds a little thin - although 'Bucket' gives the daunting task of playing lead and rhythm his best shot, there's no doubt that the sparkle and innovation of Mick Ralphs' lead is missed.

	Bad Company - Rock - Randy's Rodeo
		I kinda miss the "supergroup." A phenomenon of the late 60's, mainly, supergroups were formed when a bunch of guys from already famous groups got together in a new group (often at the instigation of their record companies) and almost invariably destroyed their previously vaunted individual reputations.
		Anyway, Bad Company was just such a supergroup, but while they always had a cloud of opportunism hanging over them, they but they were never all that bad.
		Their first album, Bad Co. (1974), is a thrill ride of hooks and riffs, and the next two, Straight Shooter (1975) and Running With Pack (1976), each carry a lot of weight.

	Vintage Guitar® magazine : Artist Pages
		The only guitarist to appear on every Bad Company album is the redoubtable Mick Ralphs, whose on-the-money sledgemhammer riffs were already known by serious fans of rock guitar prior to the formation of the band in the mid ’70s.
		Ralphs was the original lead guitarist for the legendary British band Mott the Hoople, and his blistering, powerchord-based chops were a staple of that band’s first half-dozen albums.
		The original Bad Company earned its place in rock history by purveying straight-ahead songs that still hold up, and the new anthology CD and tour were affirmation of the band’s staying power in the annals of rock music.

	Bad Company Reviews
		As a rule the band packed the most wallop with the slower verses followed by the amps-to-ten chorus and endings in their odes to women, whiskey, and song.
		"Shooting Star," was standard Bad Company, a slow rocker in the form of a cautionary tale about stardom and excess.
		Formed from the ashes of Free, Bad Company was an immediate success in 1974.

		It draws from all their records, yet the compilers have wisely chosen to lean heavily towards the group's first two albums, which were also their best.
		Bad Company had the ability to combine cruchy hard-rock riffs with great melodies, and they had a magnificent front man in Paul Rodgers, and a fine lead guitarist in Mick Ralphs.
		This music is somewhat less bluesy and more mainstream than Paul Rodgers' previous band, Free, but it has a timeless sound that makes you wonder just why Bad Company ended up being lumped in with all the stale 70s rock dinosaurs, and all but forgotten in later years.

		But it is a bit distracting that the DVD mixes up footage from two separate shows at the Paramount Theatre in Denver and the Grove Of Anaheim at Anaheim that were recorded in January 2002.
		I admit I liked Bad Company in their heyday but I will pass on this DVD since various reviews mention that Paul Rodgers let the crowd do the sing along BS.
