Rare Live footage of ARGENT with John Verity Singing 'Hold Your Head Up'

Wonderful stuff! Last time I saw this footage was way, way back when it was on "Whispering Bob's"... :0)

I saw this line-up on their 'Circus' and 'Counterpoints' tours and the lads were great. It really was too bad that the MKII line-up of the band was happening around the time of punk , because I felt the prog-like direction of the band (started by Argent and Ballard on Nexus) was interesting. Mind, I'm a player so the points of appeal will differ for me (I never did like 'Hold Your Head Up'). That said, the opening tunes on 'Counterpoints' and Phil Collins guest-drumming on that album are great.

John Verity was singing but he wasn't playing guitar on this song. The late great John Grimaldi was the featured lead guitarist in this clip. Both brilliant musos though. I wish there was other footage avsailable of this Argent MkII line up

@SilverStratMan Yes I too noticed a 5th person !! on Guitar . John Grimaldi . Grimaldi being a famous name in entertainment since about 1800 ( Clown) - I can see a connection in this video !!
