Slade - Mama Weer All Crazee Now - Earls Court London 1973 - Slade In England

[TheShotgunslade]

Someone mentioned Alex dislike for Slade which is totally untrue. Nod and he sneaked backstage before the show to peak at the arena filling up with the fans. There was jealousy of their fame at the time.At home they were outselling Bowie, Bolan, etc. But their working class roots did them no favors with most of the music press. Slades shows were sweaty, electric and very very loud and thats really all a rock gig should be. i aint seen em since 83 and I still luv em just as much today a bak then.

Even with Noddy's voice a little bit ragged, Slade still sound better than most bands of the day- or now, for that matter.

@95thFoot Noddys voice ragged?........how d'u work that one out then?......

[departments2006]

Fantastic stuff. I was at this show. It brings back fabulous memories of my then 14 year old self. Bless you. Can't agree with SAHB being dire though. Fucking fantastic band and they had just released 'Framed', which is a thing of wonder.

[perth45]

WOW.......I knew back then in '73 that this concert had been filmed.....I've wondered for YEARS what had happened to the footage.......really wish I could see the whole concert....I was 13......Slade were at their PEAK of success in the UK.....I was obsessed with them and continue being a fan today at 51..!!!!!!!.......long live SLADE....

holy crap. incredible. ty for posting

[billyconnearly]

I was at this show - now....I absolutely love Slade!! right...but....they were "supported" by "The Sensational Alex Harvey Band" make no mistake Slade were fine but ALEX and his Band fucked them right up the arse until they bled!! If It had been a lesser band than Slade they would have refused to go on! Slade 10/10 but Alex etc = different cosmos!

@billyconnearly SLADE > ALEX HARVEY BAND NO MISTAKE ABOUT THAT

[johnnytheslider]

@billyconnearly

That is exactly how the ten year old me saw it.

I went to see Slade but I remember nothing of their performance.

All I recall was Alex and Zal

[paintedship]

@billyconnearly I heard a story that Alex Harvey pissed in a water gun and shot Slade with it. I don't think they got along too well.

[perth45]

Awesome......

[nevetsffen]

This is absolutely excellent...I haven't had this much fun watching a clip of a live performance (aka the 3 songs performed at Earl's Court) since watching the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show.

[ACDCFan15Swe]

Its sick how little live footage there is of Slade aviable on DVD

[paintedship]

@ACDCFan15Swe the dvd that's out best of slade I think it's called is pretty good

[ACDCFan15Swe]

@paintedship I got it and I think its too little real live performances on it

[donthedec1]

[macca63]

[MrNoddydog]

Just great to see this ....all these rarities emerging after 36 years or so ....better be quick before Newman & Co find out and pull them .........

[JECRocks]

Many thanks!  is TMBO available?

[slaphead59]

Fantastic!...cheers.

[meadowlea4sie]

Thanks Dave...good to see a clip of the band in it's heyday

[tangomango69]

Dave. As usual another gem I have not seen before mate, many thanks. Funnily enough I rehearsed last night with my band and we played this for the first time and are adding it to the setlist. Once it is 100% I will send you a copy.

Best regards. Si.

[kittyp1]

That's really great GW.

[mcp666]

Good man Dave, you are truly Wolfie Claws, the saviour of Xmas past and present, maybe even the future. The best pressie ever mate and I can't wait to hear it in glorious stereo.

Tell me more about Historic films inc Dave? ;-)

[tonyins67]

Santa D G a big thank you from me, how ironic that the yanks own the rights to this as they never really appreciated Slade

[NickSinatra]

Superb stuff! KOR.
