Jimmy was sitting in front of the stage and I was sitting with him. And they all did a tribute to Led Zeppelin in some way, shape or form. And a lot of people turned up for the public show. Paul Allen was giving Jimmy Page an award, the Founders Award, for being such a musical visionary. And what I did recently, I went down to Seattle and the Experience Music Project. I was doing “Satisfaction Guaranteed”, but I just rediscovered “Radioactive”. You know what? I really do enjoy playing with the solo guys now because I’ve introduced a couple of Firm songs. PR: Oh, man! That’s so nice of you to say. You know the personal obsession I have with all of your music and everything you do. It’s always nice seeing you perform with your own band and playing stuff from throughout your career. We’re looking forward to seeing you perform both at RockFest 80’s and at the Bad Company show in South Florida.

We begin with our conversation from February. As always, Paul proved himself to be none other than the most perfect of gentlemen. Red Hot Rock Magazine had the opportunity, honor and thrill to catch up with Paul Rodgers for a couple of discussions before and after travelling to see him perform at the festival. (Punctuation misplaced, most likely as a finger in the air to nonbelievers.) As Bad Company was preparing to go out and co-headline the One Hell Of A Night Tour with none other than James Gang and Eagles legend, Joe Walsh, Paul found the time to fit in a headlining appearance with his solo band at South Florida’s inaugural RockFest 80’s. Paul’s flawless delivery of countless classics from the golden era of rock music provides all of the insurance concertgoers need when deciding whether to catch a performance by this man. His ageless onstage stamina and timeless vocal cords continue to thrill Bad Company fans the world over.
