Note:
The Law were an English rock group formed in 1991 comprising drummer Kenney Jones (Small Faces, The Who) and singer Paul Rodgers (Free–Bad Company). The two teamed up with the idea of using different supporting musicians, in order to allow Paul Rodgers to pursue whatever musical style he felt like. They assembled a core band of studio musicians, including guitarist John Staehely and bassist Pino Palladino, and landed guest spots from guitarists like David Gilmour, Bryan Adams, and Chris Rea. They produced Billboard's #1 AOR Chart hit "Laying Down The Law" written by Rodgers, but the album peaked at a disappointing #126 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart. An album of outtakes from the first album[citation needed] has been released as a bootleg, often referred to as The Law II.
The Law played one show at Milton Keynes Bowl supporting ZZ Top and Bryan Adams; they were joined for this show by John Young on keyboards.
