Alex Harvey Band - Faith Healer

[steeveep2006]

Hey, mightymur1. Just checked out the Fayrewether cover. Fuckwether. Lightshow? Go piss up a rope. U admit to helping with that! Ur assistance only served to illuminate the sad fuck's Poundland Phantom mask. The rest of the band stumbled around like car crash victims. one last point,if it was needed, as to how awesome this band were on the night. Look at the crowd. Rooted to the spot in abject horror. Don't EVER endorse shit like this again or we'll come after u with a rope

[AshleyAceCarson]

I couldn't leave a "Like" - function unavailable. Maybe because of that or people just don't know how to tell a great song from a bad one.

Absolutely amazing. I advise everyone to hear the cover performed by the german power metal band Helloween (sic).

[1959child]

classic song and band... amazing sound and stage presence.. to all you fuckers who just stand there and strum your songs by numbers, take a good look at yourself.. you dont even break into a sweat and sing about shite.. fuck off back to safeville, these are still the masters.. FACT...

[svo65]

heard this on the midnight rambler show way back when, went and bought the album, still have it. ROCK........

[cosmicrider287]

my faith has just been healed.

[CuteCatFaith]

As a girl in Ohio, USA I cleaned the kitchen for two hours every Sat morning. I had the right to listen to FM radio then, and was just thrilled when this song came on to drive me to scrubbing slavery. My bitch mother hated this song, it drove her wild! I now live near Belgium, I got my revenge, and my bitch mother begs me to pay her rent. I should insist she listen to this song again, ha ha!

[bobobobo568]

This is some fucking Dad Rock right here

[MrMDC01]

@bobobobo568 It'a matter of taste,of which it would appear you are distinctly lacking ?

[Sonoftoenails93]

@MrMDC01 agreed :)

[thecuttingpoint]

@bobobobo568

I would hope my boys would say the same :)

[mightymur1]

Yes I am a die hard Clevelander ,still live here.The best kept secret in the U.S.A.

[JamesonsPaint]

. This song is great.I'll put my hands on you.

[sinbad64]

This full unedited version even better!

[mightymur1]

Great song from my teen age days in Cleveland Ohio

[flyinbassjennings6]

@mightymur1 u from Cleveland?.... Fayrewether covered this tune w/ visual effects and lighting like no one else in the day!! Had the opportunity to work w/ Paul Fayrewether and work w/ Vic Hess..there light tech!!

[SittingInADream]

Very good song.

I don´t like this version.

Alex is Alex and Zal is KING.

SAHB .... n:o I

[TheStashstealer]

This is such a classic composition with such obscure imagination.

[universalself]

another powerdriver is asia-sole survivor-----

luv the intro 2 faith healer which sounds like a digerydoo + shakers

[universalself]

sorry, meant scorpions-loving you sunday morning-not lovedrive

[MsLynco]

Stephen Dunthorne got me into SAHB........thanx DUNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

[universalself]

the original power driving bass + rythmn guitar rocker---

saxon's- dallas 1pm + scorps- lovedrive followed after

taking heavy rock 2 a new level

[tabs2007]

I was lucky enough to watch them live at the Freetrade Hall in Manchester England.Brilliant live act. ^5

[cosmicrider287]

now my faith in music is healed.

[griefDivision]

great song, but this video is awful..

[thegerrie19561]

One to remember, Next was good. The Man in the Jar lives forever.

[Abedude71]

Brings back a lot of good memories, which I'm very glad I lived through. =)

[sinbad64]

I recently remembered what a GREAT track this is... many other great tracks by this band too - much underrated!

[LiverbirdsBeakLfc]

i grew up on this song.. when i was a young lad it used to scare me.. brilliantly sinister. R.i.p alex!!

[NeyxChaos]

It is a shame our generation didn't grow up with this amazing music but at least we have recourses to download this music.

[steveamills]

to vintagezigg , I know what you mean about the tune being a masterpeice, But how effin old are you?? Bands of today? Theres loads of bands do this sort of stuff and more!! Metallica, Black Label Society, Joe Bonamassa, etc etc etc etc. Do your self a favour and don't sound like an old fart, that sthe kind of thing my old man used to say..."..when I was your age...";-/

[cheezmistr]

Hard Glam Rock!. A lot of my fav's came from Scotland. Bon Scott, Ian Biarnson( Alan Parsons Project), Nazareth even Rod Stewart can't even think of all of them right now!

Zal is tough on guitar. INTERNATIONALLY UNDERRATED!

[TheBirkenweg]

truly a masterpiece

[hermygagala]

ZAL IS ONE GREAT GUITARIST. THIS IS A GREAT BAND!!!

[stixmix2375]

I wish some DJ would put this on in a club today. They wouldn't know what hit them and they'd go mad for it! I had this the first time around but I bet it would go off the scale if it were re released. Put it out just as it is and don't mess with it. Please someone.....

[flipside1545]

never heard of this band...great!!!

[Sonoftoenails93]

fuck yes

[universalself]

the synth + hihats r very hypnotic

[DjJohnnyM68]

this is the original song guys. The one that later Recoil would cover and further make cult music history with. Recoil were one of the members of Nitzer Ebb and Alan Wilder (of Depeche Mode).

[MrGoodturn]

the big vambo he is still with us his and the band music is forever i wish i knew him more ithink iloved alex as good person ,

[dogleg2you]

One of the greats bring back the 70s pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!

[universalself]

nice one

[youmikie]

One of the best intro,s to one of the best songs ever written!

[sixstringfender]

This song is an F'n classic. . Not many songs punch like this one does.. Leave it too Alex. Alex Jones would like this song :)

[fickif]

im sound in berlin...damals

[gyroe182]

11/10. Love this song, smart, funky, twisted... evil, divine... BRILLIANT! - FUCKING ROCKING!!!!!

[WWahnfried]

wüste erinnerungen ans SOUND werden wach, anfang siebzig waren die besten zeiten.schöner dopesong.......

[loudkatana]

First a toke an dancin..

[valyuntbe]

Where on earth did you dig up this much neglected and overlooked masterpiece from? Thanks for posting

[OzzyDave6969]

yes ...:)

[rbush1961]

Cleveland Rules Awesome memories of a serious concert and Rock and Roll City

Home

[777Samwise]

taxirock many thanks for posting takes me back to Celtic park sometime in the 70s I think ! when Alex preceded the Who in an all day concert

[bobmarly2103]

80´er im Spandauer Ballhaus ......

[ChorltonM21]

I saw the SAHB at Manchester Free Trade Hall in about 1975 (before dinosaurs walked the earth)

[valyuntbe]

@ChorltonM21 One of those dinosaurs was ME! Ha Ha

[Guenter077]

lol never 4 get his life act in a discothek '' morgens um sieben ''  Hamm / sieg faith healer yeah

[Bethuriel]

@Guenter077 Indeed! Morgens um Sieben used to be a very spicial place for some time in a very special age

[muzikinside]

great,great,great!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[Vambo1958]

the greatest along with Roxy Music

[RickDubya]

I grew up on Alex through my Dad! A true pioneer!

[sezles1]

First heard SAHB live on the old grey whistle test first appearance and on the strength of it bought the album with faith healer and next on. Played faith healer through head phones and it blew my mind try it. One of the few songs best heard on cans. The stereo effect going through your head is mind blowing.

[Phildey]

RIP Alex, legend :cool:

I've got a few SAHB albums here, they had chunky drum sound way before it became en vogue.

[PAULLONDEN]

SENSATIONAL indeed!

«Bass»sound quality here.

Nice post.......TAXI !!!

[czech698]

the sky and the horizon were both the color of muddy water. At times a sort of mist descended, and then suddenly heavy slanting rain came down

[62september]

einfach geil zum lieb haben die musik macht spass danke:taxirock

weiter so. gruss peter

[arinhyspam]

This guy is my namesake, and this music is good! I don't have to do anything with my life now seeing as he's been so successful :D

[papmjny]

Brilliant - SAHB !!!!

[magicwandfour]

vambo rules ok-the best live act ever.when most of my classmates were listening to the bay city rollers on radio 1 i had sahb-they thought i was wierd.next remains 1 of the greatest albums of the 70s,when i die i hope its dancing to `swampsnake`.

[cosmicrider287]

the intro alone is mindblowing...

[Drecksack70]

Einfach nur ein geniales stück MusiKgeschichte ! ! !

[thecuttingpoint]

I haven't heard this song in over 30 years. My God, what a masterpiece now as it was then!

[tgrules565]

If you listen to Saxon's Solid ball Of Rock you will hear the influence this song had on it. \m/

[Samudra208]

Great song! Looking for Roman Wall Blues.. pity, I can´t upload it from my vinyl :(

[RIASSL888]

one of the greats in music history

[Mcvity]

sean i was about your age also this tune has a profound effect on you alex was a true rocker, i grew up with the best music its all shit now unfortunately :/

[cosmicrider287]

@Mcvity this faith healer restored my confidence in music.

[newkillergenius]

@Mcvity

You're wrong. Take the time to find the good in the obscure. Though it is mostly independent, be proactive and find what suits you.

[Mcvity]

@newkillergenius

Your right 1stly because ive got a pretty wide range in taste both old and new

2ndy i think i had a few 2 many when i posted that comment.

:)

[seanreillyireland]

This is great. So long since I heard it... I bought a best of in '87 when I was 17, it sounded great then, and it was over 12 years old then... and it sounds as cutting edge now, over 30 years on... I love the Biblical choir coming in... then Alex ruins it all as the dirty old man in the mac! Genius!

[vintagezigg]

This is without a doubt a masterpiece ! The best bands today could'nt dream this up.

[Sprangeful]

@vintagezigg I know, it would be an impossible deam ;)

[Guenter077]

great old netherland band

[wiesBadisch]

Waaaaaaaahnnsiiiiiinnn!

[lescot2000]

good post .. Kinning Park Rambler ...... Vambo & co .

[MsBarking]

fabtastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[puniks2112]

Great Song ....... i remember getting sh*tfaced & listening to this years ago ......... i think .... LOL

[thufer50]

Experience. Put this on at any rave or party and everyone wants to know who it is... Great... Cutting edge stuff.

[trustterry11]

fucking brialliant alex sahb job done

[IngoDE]

music has a name !!

[lescot2000]

greaaattt ..... video ... and track .... Glasgow loves you

[wolfsblut1881]

RIP. an einen alten kumpel war ne geile zeit mit dir fehlst mir so sehr und die stunden die wir zusammen wahren ...........

[FractAlkemist]

Yes - the early '70's. Psychedelic guitar rock. Wish it was again ...

LSD or not, I got better visuals on my page.

[54spiritedwill54]

Outstanding.  I liked the lyrics.

[wiiiin]

the bollock brothers are better

[johnhester]

Bollocks!

[lescot2000]

great work Taxi ... classic song .. and band ... love your visuals ...bravo

[double6double6]

Fan-Bloody-Tastic!!!

alex read

[muckypup7]

play this in ur car very loud bass pumping its brilliant should have done it in waynes world

[ExpacticWaters]

This song goes great with the subs in the basement

[wishywashy2016]

I had this on full blast in the car last night and the dog started howling like a banshee,... He's never done that before,... Thanks to Alex the fucker will be auditioning for the X Factor next year.

SAHB - Greatest Glasgow band EVER.

[Boabyo]

Don't you count ac/dc ore dire straits? These guys are pretty good though - strange how they still tour under that name :S

[ELGROOVER]

Boabyo

lol...Angus and the Knopfler brothers! Th@'s streching it a bit. "Pretty good", oh yea...and then some, SAHB were no average white band, (don't forget Hamish Stuart!)

I'll be hearing this number ♪♫live♪♫ next Monday. Not so strange they still tour as SAHB. Alex was the 'f☺r[e]man' in perf☺rmance and he'll still be there, in spirit. Spirit being the essence of music. (The man inside my head hopes it's raining when I leave the gig).

VAMBO R⊙⊙LS OK

[ELGROOVER]

wishywashy2016

"SAHB - Greatest Glasgow band EVER."

^^Unquestionably, absolutely & indubitably SO.^^

(Re X Factor, your dog should piss it :·))

[simonhamersays]

Ahhhhhh Wow,,,,,,,,, back to long haired 6th form days. Thanks so much. Now in my favourites and my heavy rock play list, along wioth Babbath.

[kartoeffel]

awesome

[bikerjohn58]

Now this is a step in the wayback machine, brings back many memories, Alex Rocks !!

[deexxyy]

[wytchypoo]

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band ROCKS!! Play it loud! Next........

[jere119]

I think Alan Wilder did a cover of this...not sure

[mohamedsucksdick]

To all you roundhouse freaks out there!

[HelmetBlissta]

you beauty.

[hagenberlin]

Ich bin der Dumme. Du der Schlaue. Es lebe das Jahr 1985.

[dcd9000]

F*ck yeah!!!! The namesake of my old rock band. We tripped balls and saw god with this song. Though there are songs that are as good and better, it still stands alone in a class of its own.

[reload1959]

one of the best songs ever

[Buckeyenut1992]

this song is great & the beat is outstanding

[moutard111]

To good to EAt

[Joe9017]

Man, until just now I thought I was the only guy in the universe that even remembered this song. Very, very, cool. Devastating chorus.

[blackdress69]

I'm going to have this played at my funeral, so breathtakingly , captivatingly, brilliant.

[ELGROOVER]

A true classic rock standard.

Outstanding.

[hagenberlin]

Super! Ich habe seit 20 Jahren danach gesucht. Ich habe das mit 15 gehört - schöne Erinnerungen! Oh man.

Thanks for uploading!!!!!!!!!

[sweetsally06]

...und schon wieder ein "Spanklassiker" -

obersuper Song - echt geiles Video - hallo -

what's up? Geh' gleich mal wieder richtig

"headbangen"! :o)

[4everhollie]

they stole every show they ever did

[reitludgar]

share the sahb and you will go to heaven

[urox78887t]

The original and the best audio - thanks for posting.

[phorn01]

Saw these guys in 1974 in Berlin they were supporting deep purple, It should have been the other way around, they stole the show, but then again I was tripping RIP AH

[blackdress69]

"Faith Healer" just as oustandingly brilliant as it was back in 1974, my ultimately fav. piece of rock music of all time. This track (and other SAHB stuff), only paralled by the likes of Led Zep and Queen. Cool video, much appreciated!

[rachelviyaxyz]

Thx,I liked the lyrics.

[sahbhoy]

keech!!!

[siatras1]

whats this artsy fartsy stuff,I wanted to see the band not this crap!

[dorfrock]

klar cowboy:-)

gruss dedel

[dorfrock]

sehr geil,

was haben wir da abgehottet nicht nur im span

sondern auch im kaisersaal.

weiter so!!!!

[taxirock]

ooohh..ein Stadt-Landsmann.:-)

..und vorher bei Aegi mit "Eisbock" und rotem Korn vorgeglüht??

[mesphinx]

@dorfrock mit Stroboskop und allen anderen Sachen - bei SAHB ging die Post immer ab, Midnight Moses war auch ein Hammer und der hammer song aber der damalige deutsche Krautrock hatte auch abgefahrene Sachen: Gamma Ray oder Hokus Pokus etc. tschüss ausem südlichen Nachbarland;-D

[AverellHH]

@dorfrock

dat heißt Kaiserkeller ;)

[SeanieGee]

Magic. Thanks for the video. SAHB used to open with this -- saw them in 1976 supporting The Who. Truly sensational. And timeless.

[rramondo]

charlton football ground i was there to was lynnyrd skynnyrd there too? zalvation

[candyfromstranger]

Were you responsible for the lightshow in the late '70

early '80 at Grünspan? Some times your vids look like that!! Maybe we know the same people for example the

bartenders Christine and Beate but never mind your

clips bring up some memorys...great job with MVD-i used the same...cheers!

[taxirock]

jo..klar..und jetzt brechen wir uns mit der englischen syntax einen ab...:-)..und was ist mit Rolf und Heino???

[candyfromstranger]

Moin! Heino kenn' ich nur als Tresenschlampe

aus 'm TOBAC, damals noch Gerstenkamp, mir war so als ob er auch mal mit 'ner Querflöte im Hals und einer Folkloreband im PÖ auf der Bühne stand...

jetzt fällt mir noch ein Heino ein, long time

no see, mit nem tierischen grauen langen Rauschebart der immer bei Fred und Corinna rumhing...

ansonsten steh' ich auf dem Schlauch!!!

[parabrahma]

I take it you made the video yourself.I like it.What software did you use?

[taxirock]

up to March07 I use only the "windows movie maker"

At March 08 (J.J. Cale and following) I use "Magix video plus"

[taxirock]

uuups, that´s not true...this is a hybrid..with "windowsm.m." and MAGIX.......

[DontGoAwayMad]

Nice Job on a Great Song!

[Metten4070]

genial eins der Besten

[yobnez]

Great Track!

Jan54

[trakmac]

This is my all-time favourite SAHB song. At least, the full-length album version is anyway.

[Blutbeutel]

pretty nice!!
