Five original videos are included. They are a more hit-and-miss affair but are representative of what was being produced during that time period.
Disc two resurrects their complete 1970 performance from the legendary Isle Of Wight Festival where they shared the stage with such acts as Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Chicago, The Who, The Moody Blues, Sly & The Family Stone, and Miles Davis, among others. The sound is excellent but only three of the ten songs are videos. The rest of the set is audio only, presented against a background of pictures, posters and the like. If a video of their complete performance exists, it has not yet been discovered so this will have to do until that time.
Free Forever fills in a lot of holes in the band's history. Most of their recently unearthed live material has been gathered into this package and serves them well. It makes one wish their career could have lasted longer.

Dammit, David - first Manassass and now Free Live - you're gonna end up costing me a lot of money in reissues this year. At least I can blame Glen for the Raiders' compilation.

Good stuff but they are a lot more blues oriented live than in the studio. Play the second disc as a CD and not a DVD. -David
