  • @Zc7578 Yes they do - there is tons of great rock music out there today - seek and you shall find. The naff tired old line "back in my day kids" is just meaningless - it's you who has lost the torch of rock. Don't be old - be excited for all the great new rock.

  • Chris Glenn and that silly cod piece.

  • I was having such a really shitty crappy bastard of a day.. and then some said here, look at this... bloody hell... what a turnaround... love SAHB... best fuckin' band to grace my turntable.

  • This band is so great...I only recently discovered them. I'm so amazed at how so many awesome bands never "made it" in the States. Oye. Mountain, Humble Pie, and now SAHB play the never-ending Most Underrated Bands Ever Tour in my mind. Zal, Steve Marriot, and Leslie West...you guys are forever my favorite guitar players. I don't give a s**t about Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarist List. Any list without you guys ain't no list worth anything.

  • 12 bieber ass lickers?

  • On this date 30 years ago Alex Harvey passed away. He died of a heart attack just one day before his 47th birthday. I miss him!

  • @Lasse2112 I'm sure he has a kickass band where ever he is, with his brother on guitar.

  • otro pedo scucha ke rolon

    yessus sparza m.

  • my dad showed me these guys.he told me this is where kiss got some of their act from...i remember gene simmons said in an interview that SAHB were an influence on him.as my dad always puts it...i'm trying to learn you something.

  • I love this song. I love the performance too, the way they menace the crowd, Satanic grins on their faces. Zal in particular is scary as hell, demented. Awsome =D

  • Why do I love this so much?!!!

  • ZAL CLEMINSON is fukin' cool !!!!!!!!!!

  • 1st time,i've seen this band or even heard them ... alway's respected them thru word's of other's but never managed to check 'em out. my loss.

  • @ LastOfSixMusic, KISS didn't rip these guys off, KISS started with all the makeup in 1971 or1972.

  • @SHELLHEAD1961 Yes 1971 or 72 ........ Late starters !

  • shock and awe ! these guys were into pleasing themselves first and the audience second and it shows, the people who didn't apppreciate then won't appreciate now, it's too real

    SAHB forever!

  • Watched it again...okay, I give up, the brits really do do things better than we do. :-)

  • Que banda do cacete mano !!!!

  • know what you mean pal ,just got into them myself,awesome.

  • Ummm....I'm forty. A rock fan all my life. Never heard of these dudes until a week ago. I can't believe I missed out on this bad ass stuff for so long. I love this so much. That guitar player is like some freak space 1999 mad scientist. He might be the coolest guitar player these eyes have ever seen. 

  • now I know where kiss got there act from plastic bxxstxxds

  • Bon fucking WHO???

    

  • What a great video that captures the essence of the band. Always saw them in the 70s whenever they were in London. Even became a member of the Marquee club to be able to buy advance tickets to the SAHB without Alex 'Fourplay' gig and first in line, first in the door got us to see them finishing their sound check. Zal sans makeup for the first time, brilliant. Listen out for my whistles on their live album at the Rainbow.

  • that's real good rock!!! i like it

  • 1:37-8, rawest balls out tone ever captured live

    followed by "tits"!

  • Comment removed

  • VERY confrontational - peace & love kids look well confused.... Geordie from Killing Joke is a fan - FACT!

  • Pure genius...makes any other rock band look as risky & menacing as Brotherhood of Man. How we miss Alex now, amid the pap & dross of music today !

  • @cbyam1300 well said

  • @TheNokie65  Cleveland discovered Rush...Cleveland=Tops

  • Theyre plain in front of Hippies.But thereselve are not Hippies..haha

  • they remind me on KISS...

  • @TheMusicchannel23 LOL Kiss? OMFG! Kiss is shit compared to the late great Alex. Or any other real music.

  • @oldnetfag

    1. Kiss is not Shit. 2. they acting like KISS..so KISS must had copy some things from them.

  • Love this and HAwkwind are in my top 3 bands of all time :)

  • One of the greatest underated band of all time

  • That hurt my ears, bury this one under the headstone CRAP

  • да, великий музыкант/человек был этот Alex Harvey

    царствие ему небесное!

  • I can see how K.I.S.S., ripped these guys off... Think Gene Simmons posture on stage, the makeup, etc... No question about it.....They took it to a whole new level!

  • ZAL!

  • Alex was the only old school musician that the Sex Pistols trusted and respected.He was close to becoming their manager,at one point,John and Sid for,Paul and Steve,against.Bet they had wished in favor of old Uncle Al,now...

  • I had the chance to see them at the Hammy O in the mid 1970's with my brother, who was a big SAHB freak but I was 13, obsessed with football and didn't want to go to some concert- what a fucking idiot.

    After the punk fallout- I got into my Brothers old SAHB albums in the early 80's and realized what a mistake I'd made.

    I saw them in Melbourne a few years back with Max on vocals just before Zal left but it just wasn't the same.

    Another drop in the well of lifes regrets.

  • (Posted by Youtube Stream for iPhone (yst.me) on behalf of tororobbo at twitter)

  • this song rocks brill

    

  • Now that’s fucking Rock & Roll Kids, they do not make music like this anymore. Watt a shame

  • @Zc7578: These guys were a ROCKIN' outfit for sure. Rest easy, Alex...

  • Had never heard of this band before - how absolutely brilliant they were!!! It really looks as if Gene Simmons from Kiss was influenced by the guitarist with face makeup on in this band, with the "tongue thing".

  • Some poor spaced out hippie was listening to this watching Zal and his facial expressions while hearing that amazing guitar , Alex with his growl and laughing at the audience and were left slightly unnerved, i hope. As MrOctagon just said , "Great stuff"

  • Great stuff,there is a version of this by nazareth which is pretty good,performed when zal was a member of nazareth.see what you think.

  • Wow. I haven't seen this before. Excellent. Alex was an incredible artist, and I can definitely see an influence on Bon Scott's style.

  • saw them when they came to stoke on trent with yes alex ace and gryphon !!

  • SENSATIONAL!!!

  • Comment removed

  • SAHB had probably inpired Bon Scott and Angus Young.

  • @lheavy1970 Yup they did.

  • Many thanks for posting this. It's sad that Alex died but in agreement with other comments,look what he has left us ,It is priceless.This band is quite simple the best band.I never get tired of the SAHB and sure I never will.

  • We will not see their like again, the band so tight with a great sound , look at Ted McKenna hitting the ride cymbal cracking out the rhythm with Chris Glen ,Hugh McKenna chopping out jazz and blues on keyboards, Zal Cleminson playing is effortless and tortured at the same time. Glad I saw them with Slade (who were also great) and at Reading where they stormed the crowd, I've seen the best of rock , happy if I die tomorrow.

  • Indeed !

  • Vambo Rool......OK?

  • think this song was an old one from his alex harvey and the soul band days

  • I saw this great band quite a few times and also use to see Alex (with his wife) strolling around the Marquee. I remember those because they were the nights Lemmy would hog the Pinball M/C (Don't think he ever lost)

  • Okay...at 1:43 and 2:45...is that a young male or a really flatchested female or WHAT??? Anyone know??? No wonder Zal and Alex are leering at something in the crowd @ 2:22 thru 2:28...they must be thinking the same thing!

  • @spanishcastles56 it looks like a flat chested woman to me, look at the womanly shape of the body- very weird

  • it puts a smile to my face !great entertainer mister harvey

  • Happy 62nd Birthday, Alistair Cleminson 5/4/11! You are still the best blasted guitarist on the planet, and this American lady still idolizes you! My only wish is that you would tour the US one more time before putting away your facepaint!

  • Guitarist looks like The Crow

  • ZAL -- vantastic - love yur act

  • what a great video! I remember seeing this band in the late 70's and he was crawling on the stage writhing and freaking out.

    I don't remember the painted face guy.....

    The audience in this video is too funny.

  • ok i am human, flesh and skin, i will die. Father why hast thou forgave me, here i said it. if you are my father i am your sun. I know only the beauty of birth, your bone is rock. Yes i could face the cross but could you/./?

  • gorgeus band!! i didn't know them!

  • and you ain't really heard this untill yuo been to johndrummerfromhell version? try posting a comment!

  • the look on his face says iy all

  • Its all been said before but take it from someone who was there, this was the tighest, most original, most watchable, most intelligent and LOUDEST band of the 1970s. I definitely owe my hearing loss in later life to Zal (the UKs most underrated guitar talent!) but it was well worth it.

  • The late great Bon Scott was a big fan of alex harvey and admitted to being very influenced by him,,,,,,, maybe he just meant copied. we'll never know

  • tear gas motherwell town hall early 70s ..who remembers : )

  • Wow so good

  • Thanks a tonne.

  • The most incredible rock band ever. Impossible to compare them to anyone else. ACDC and Kiss definitely both borrowed heavily. I love you Alex and I hope your soul is at peace.

  • Love the WTF look on the audiences face!

    GREAT POST!

    Thanks!

  • SAW THEM 5 TIMES IN THE 70s PURE ROCK AND ROLL THEATRE AND NEVER DISAPPOINTED .ONE BAND THAT REALLY DID LIVE UP TO THEIR NAME!

  • Grinderman meets ACDC - Nick Cave got it all here

  • Sheer genius.

  • @CydermanUK  100%

  • I like to watch this regularly! Blows me away every time!

  • Tee Shirt Print of 2:24 Perleeeaase!!!!

  • Scary, used to think I was born in the wrong era, not so sure now!

  • SAHB Could play, had immense style and vision, These, along with Bowie - Spiders period were the big informers of Punk. Infinitely better than all that monotone, pretentious crap out of NYC in the 70's.

  • The city hall newcastle uk 1977 ...... vambo rule ok

    fucking magic times .... mulas jarra

    SAHB the best live act ever

  • cool,,cool,had this record in 1973,,cool stuff

  • F*&%$#?!? Awesome!

    Love it. And who would have thought that when the Joker got tired of crime in Gotham city, he would join a rock band & kick ass! LOL!

  • What a groove!

  • yes, my brother yoy fucking right

  • Never listened to these guys before. This has just blew me away!!!!!! Awesome!!!!!

  • need some help here ....some twat is mouthing off about ALEX on his video .......................search>­>> alex harvey sings delta dawn its a country singer and this fella is in need of EDGOOOOCATIIING .....GET OVER THERE NOW FOR ALEX!

  • This man is a miracle! A dirty, dry son of a bitch! No one ever can reach his dryness!!!

  • Never get tired of this. Superb band. Tight musicians, and an amazing no-nonsense frontman. Zal's guitar sound is so creamy and yet barbed at the same time. He really throttles the shit out of it!

    Such a shame Alex's alcoholism ballsed everything up in the end, but at least they left us with some tremendous music before the end.

  • I saw this band many times in the 70s.Zal Cleminson is a much underated guitarist.His tone was pure evil.Gibson SG into a marshall only a cry baby in between.

    Years before Angus Young

  • @megaEDWIN3 I used to see them in 70's too when they were Teargas,used to watch them play in Burns Howff pub early 70's every Saturday afternoon,great times!!

  • @megaEDWIN3 ... Great description on Zal!

  • @mijolobo Thanks for the comment .If you listen to their first album Framed and pan the speakers to the left you will hear what Zals doing and know what I mean

  • @megaEDWIN3 - I use to have that album but no longer, I'll need to get it again to do what you suggest. I think I was the only one in my area where I grew up that was hip to these guys and never had the chance to see them live.

  • @megaEDWIN3

    AccaDacca acknowledge the SAHb/ZaL influence

  • regret never seeing him, Had tickets for Derby, but he Died a few weeks before, Played Hannover Blues Garage a week after Sahb did, but obviously no Alex, and cought them at the Rock and Blues, Zal looked realy Old, still rocked though.

    A real Legend, even the pre SAHB early soul stuff is great

  • Does anyone have the Album version???

  • Why yes, I do like Hawkwind.....

  • @cretinbob \

    Good for you and me and anyone else out there who likes Hawkwind. (And what a relief to read a post here that isn't oozing with obscenity and hatred. I'm not going to bother reading down this thread to see how Angus and Salguine ended up at each other's throats.) I must say, though, that Hawkwind's music, for me, is a bit uneven. But, hey, they've been at it so long that you can't expect every recording to be top shelf.

  • @written12

    Hawkwind are fucking great. I prefer the early stuff with Lemmy most but they've kept on nicely. Swedes would hate them, of course.

  • Comment removed

  • Whoever posted this, thank you so very very much, it's great to see it, it really is!

    Many, many, many, thanks!!!!!!

  • Scandinavians know fuck all about good music anyhow. Fucking ABBA is their greatest contribution to music and they make me vomit. 

  • @AngusShanks If ABBA is all you know about Scandinavian rock & roll, then what you think isn't worth paying attention to anyway. Try The Hellacopters, The Hives, Sahara Hotnights, The Blue Van, The Lovethugs, The Flaming Sideburns, Sigur Ros, The Raveonettes, The Soundtrack of Our Lives, The Rhinos...all Scandinavians. If you can't make the effort to dig beyond the top 40, then don't bitch. So ABBA makes you vomit. Know what makes ME vomit? People who wave their ignorance like a fucking flag.

  • @Salguine I own the Soundtrack of Our Lives. The rest of those acts blow hard. Thanks for the music lesson you fucktard.

  • @AngusShanks i doubt you know more than one or two of them. Fucktard.

  • @Salguine I own more than 2 thousand LPs alone. No idea about CDs. Go suck your mother's dick you stupid cunt.

  • @AngusShanks Well, I have 17,500 LPs and a little over 9,000 CDs, dickweed. So what? So fucking what?

  • @Salguine

    I'm sure you do Mr One Up. Are all of them complete shit Scando albums? Go suck some Viking cock. This is a SAHB forum. Go hang with some Swede cock somewhere else you maggot.

  • @AngusShanks What the fuck is wrong with you, you stupid cunt? What the motherfucking fuck is wrong with you? Were you gang-raped by a pack of Swedish sailors, and your shitty attitude is only a failing attempt to cover the self-hatred you feel because deep down you enjoyed it? Alex Harvey would smack the shit out of you. Why don't you go out to the mailbox—I bet your next issue of Little Jive-Ass Punk Bitch Quarterly is there.

  • @Salguine

    Never been to Sweden, so it would be impossible to be gang raped by Swedes. You are the one in love with them and their shitty music. Alex and I would have gotten along quite well. Two Scots. You and your Swede faggot bros would have gotten along quite well too I bet. Now go spin your Roxette albums/CD's.

  • Look at the live festival stuff on the BBC at the Moment and all the people going mad over some really bland or unoriginal stuff and here's SAHB playing some really great stuff to a load of comatose Scandinavians - enough to make one weep!! See their smiles - great

    SAHB really were supreme live - thanks for posting

  • @rusholmemike never a truer word said my friend ;-)

  • No band has ever been more in control of their stage than this one. And no singer in more control of his band. God bless you Alex and your very sensational band. You guys were the BEST.

  • Makes Cocker look like the poofter he was always was/is in the jam dept.

  • There was and only ever will be one ALEX HARVEY....unique and sadly missed.

  • love them since ever - more than 30yrs now ..... he was so fucking good on stage and framed and next are in my LP collection in the top 10 and the faith heeler, midnight moses and the hammer song between my favourites songs... they are really sensational!

  • bloody awesome

  • This is a good tune but you cant get the studio version on here. Angus Khan does a good cover , type him in.

  • used to go to his xmas gigs at the old Glasgow Apollo.

    Anyone remember them?

  • @handsomedude1

    Absolutely brilliant......the whole thing from the narrow spot light opening ,through the Tennant can washing of hands..........Ruined me for seeing any one live.........Anthem still give me goosebump....he was streets ahead of them...both in time and performance

  • @stivis436

    yea, the stage used to so high, and when he did the narrow spot light during the song Framed. He used to kneel on the stage and say "I did not do anything" One voice from the audience poped up and said

    "Aye ye did, ye shaged my sister" PMSL.

  • @handsomedude1

    Yep. Saw then at the Apollo 9 times in the space of a year 74 to 75.  4 times in one week! Happy Days

  • I just discovered this band this morning. I can't understand how I never heard of them. I'm totally obsessed with them now. The greatest band nobody ever heard of!

  • Just Awesome looks like there having fun!!!!!

  • He cut the path for many modern acts. Yet few remember him.

    Damn I am in love with that skinny girl in the front.

    Thanks for posting this

  • there will never be aother Alex!! so far ahead of there time

  • This is the stuff!! Amazing. A full on onslaught. One of the greatest live acts ever. Respect.

  • :o)

  • there's a great BBC session version of this from i think 1979 with his "new" (mafia stole my geetar) band, anyone know where i can find that? also didnt he do a single of this in the late '60s before the SAHB, love to hear that too

  • esta musica es solo para quienes saben apreciar el buen rock es su estilo mas exotico... wonderful music.. es una de las songs que me levantan a bailar cuando estoy frente a la PC

  • This and 'Framed' are amazing. I keep coming back.

  • Classic SAHB 'Frontline Pose' At 1:11 - One Foot On The Stage Monitors!

    Love It,Love It!

  • Gene Simmons acknowledges that Zal Cleminson was one of his greatest inspirations; at 2:08 you'll see why.

    I love Alex's expression at 1:27 when he sees that the audience are just not gonna get it.

  • Sensational entertainer!

  • space mimes make the best lead guitarists! alex harvey is pretty freakin' amazing as well! top notch rock!

  • This guy has absolutely no talent at singing...

    YET EVERYONE SUCKS DICK COMPARED TO HIM!

  • another NRK classic

  • Man, Zal's mime make-up must have been kind of hot to wear for every show ...

  • pretty cool!

  • where can i get that autio track to this?

  • @pitbulls4life11 It's from the album "Framed" along with "Hammer Song" and "St. Anthony".

  • @bj4paul you no nuthing.

  • @pitbulls4life11

    Yeah, Dicks on YouTube giving their one word opinions. Pointless and irritating.

    You can copy this audio direct from YouTube using various progs/websites. I use DVDVideoSoft Free Studio.

  • Saw them 1974 in Munich as supporting act of Deep Purple. SAHB stole the show, the best Concert ever!

    Vambo rool.....

  • Alex' MasterClass in taking a largely indifferent crowd by the throat and challenging them to enjoy themselves. By the time the band stormed through Framed they had the crowd on their feet and baying for more. Blistering version of Amos Moses tho'.

    Dammit I miss these guys.

  • cool..saw the whole crew with AH in 1974...a concert I never will forget! in Guidford as I remember-great Vid!

  • cool..saw the whole crew with AH in 1974...a concert I never will forget! in Guidford as I remember-great Vid!

  • I grew up on a Scottish council estate full of kids who scream "hey" just like this lol!

  • This is so gnarly. I can't take it. It's almost too much! Must. Watch. It.... Again.

  • Comment removed

  • a guy that lives in the woods in kent told me about this band haha !! he was legend btw loll

  • @KennyKen2009 what were you doing in the Kentish woods? No, sorry; I'd best not ask. I hope it was a fulfilling experience for both of you, and if you reciprocated knowledge of a cool band, then all the best.

  • Mischeivous and menacing, brilliant.

  • Alasdair on top form here. Nobody else could pull that performance. Greta guitar!

  • the more real Alex Harvey the better
