Bad Company bola anglická rocková superskupina, ktorá sa sformovala v Londýne v roku 1973. Spojila speváka Paula Rodgersa a bubeníka Simona Kirkeho z Free s gitaristom Mickom Ralphsom (Mott the Hoople) a basgitaristom Bozom Burrellom (King Crimson). Ohromného úspechu sa dočkala už v sedemdesiatych rokoch, keď prvé tri albumy zasiahli Top 5 rebríčkov na oboch brehoch Atlantiku.
Dvojalbum Live 1979 vydané vydavateľstvom Rhino v roku 2022 zachytáva vystúpenie skupiny z vrcholu jej popularity. Na 15 skladbách znejú skvosty ako Bad Company, Feel Like Makin' Love alebo Can't Get Enough v energickej koncertnej podobe. Oranžový dvojvinyl vyšiel v rámci kampane Record Store Day ako limitovaná edícia o náklade 6.000 kusov, určená na predaj výhradne v tradičných kamenných predajniach s hudbou.
V čase tohto koncertného záznamu zostavu tvorili Paul Rodgers, Simon Kirke, Mick Ralphs a Boz Burrell; na albume Live 1979 z roku 2022 sa podieľali Simon Kirke, Rick Wills, Howard Leese, Todd Ronning, Boz Burrell, Paul Rodgers, Paul Rodgers and Company a Jaz Lochrie.
