- Brilliant live clip of the late Lord Sutch doing "Jack The Ripper" in London sometime in late 1964.
The clips shows kids' fashions just on the cusp between the early and late 60's period. Reflecting the early 60's, we still have girls with beehive haircuts, and besuited boys looking like Joe 90 clones. Looking forward, we see other boys and girls with short hair, in t-shirts or mod-like jumpers. Mini-skirts were still 3 years in the future though.....

The hair, the make up, the voice, the walk, absolute genius. I can’t stop watching it.
This pre-dates all punk rock, metal, and even most Halloween costumes. He is a visionary.
I was thinking that...honestly...i think Alice Cooper was mistaken when he said that Frank Zappa was the original shock rocker.
Yes, I think he was before all, before Cooper, Zappa, Artur Brown...
Rod Zombie's grandfather right here.
Screaming Lord Sutch - Jack The Ripper (live 1964) 1313pm 20.1.22 prince charles' fav band/act... in fact olde charles voted for this kiddie. lol... dunno why... maybe it was a hint re: olde ripper street? anyow; talking of punx... yawwwwwwn... we move on to brainbombs' interpretation (which inspired more songs by said band than a one off novelty composition) and, of course, the horrors' version - which was much more amiable and musically inspiring than the rest... the stigma of the ripper being a fav of mine... the name? monikers are monikers and do in no way count for anything where mass murderers are concerned or where reformatory thinking is concerned...
@@alessio4832 The original was Screamin' Jay Hawkins almost ten years before this act.
It was 29th September 1964 at the Lotus Club Forest Gate, North London. Me and Carole Smith are in the frount row.
Were you guys scared? It looks like everyone was pretty wierded out or didn't quite know how to react...
Lucky.
Janterrydee I was born on 3, October 1964, I wasn’t there yet. Joking, cheers
Wow that’s wild
For real?
Absolutely magnificent! This was years before Alice Cooper and his "shock rock" days. And it's easy to see where Dave Vanian of The Damned got his look.
Dave Vanian also does a couple ‘evil’ laughs in some damned shows, wonder if he also got that from him
Sutch also influenced Magoo from the Anti-Nowhere League, he's pretty open about that.
Don't forget Marilyn Manson.
@@benhawkins2703 Probably.
Exactly what I was thinking
Met him in the early 60's. I was playing in the ballroom of a hotel in Doncaster. He was a guest of the hotel & was very encouraging to my band. He really was a gentleman that night & I have never forgotten his kindness to us. RIP.
what was your band called?
A109 KILLS@MSN
NEY
@@saintgarluth I think we were "The Blue Diamonds" We wore blue cummerbunds lol.
I bet you got Jack ripped in your poot hole naw?
Cool..he pre-dates Alice Cooper and David Bowie
Lord Sutch. W-A-Y ahead of its time.
Agree, people might laugh but he actually was ahead of his time Jack White covered this
W-A-Y ahead of his time
He was a monster looney 😉😁
reaction from those girls is priceless!
2:18, love seeing the two blokes in glasses just staring all nonplussed at Lord Sutch, like "Yeah, awright mate, do your whole scary thing and move on..."
This guy is fucking crazy and I love it.
I remember seeing Lord Sutch at Beckenham Baths around 63/64. quite a few teds congregrated at the stage front, that was until he jumped off the stage weilding an axe they all shrunk back in fright. Great stuff ,a great showman with a good band.
Sutch should have played the lead in A Clockwork Orange, in this outfit/character.
Sweet Jesus this is the greatest thing I've ever seen. Ive watched it about over a hundred times now.
Mustachio Del Gato hahaha. This shit cracks me up wow
Me too, I can't stop watching it either jeer ripper🤣🤣❤💯
First goth (?) ever...
Can't stop watching this. But then again I'm a serial killer.
Which weapons you use
@@Uzatmauza4432 i use a blade
🤣🤣🤣😂❤💯
Me too😃😁😆😀😁
😆😂
I am so glad this got filmed. It was a magical time in history for musical expression. Like Alice Cooper said...Vaudeville, horror movies, rock n roll, theatrics are all combined in some way. It saddens me to think of all the people who were lost in the lack of filming. I am grateful for what we have not lost or footage that was destroyed. What a character Lord Sutch was and still is in my heart. He brought the fun od HALLOWEEN to your face! Great job!
Technically taken off Alley Oop. Still great though 👌 👍
I love this around Halloween. The girls actually look scared. It is all in good fun and not to be taken seriously. It makes me laugh every time I watch it. Not to be over anaylized for sure.
I was in a support band in the 60's, quite a difference touring with Dave as I was 16 -17 at the time. his off stage persona was very different, thankfully lol. RIP Lord Sutch, a true original. Roy Temple
Met him a few times. In the plough pub In Kenton really nice person to talk to
This is surprisingly catchy.
So is Herpes
@@flipwright1138 Awesome, too funny, very good!! 👍👍
it’s not something you want to sing when you go to sleep is it but it’s a belter of a song
He cut the runway for Alice Cooper and the other rock and roll performance artists in the late 60's and early 70's.
+Bill S. Wonder if Bowie saw him perform?
Funny-I thought the exact same thing.
He stole his look from Alice Cooper? Nah.
@@megadopolisthemagnificent.7936 you got the implication backward.
the dammed as well.
I've watched this every day, multiple times a day for years
It makes my throat sore just listening to him lol
decades ahead of his time! unbelievably awesome!
Sang live with him on stage at the Club Lafayette Wolverhampton. around 1972-73. He looked around at the audience .Just liked this clip. And pulled me on the stage with him to sing Johnny be Good, Luckily I knew the words. We shared the mike for the whole song .At the end he said give it up for this lad.And tapped my head as he showed me to the edge of the stage.
He really was a fabulously brave performer...so raw and those kids were genuinely scared!
NEVER GETS OLD
RIP Jeff Beck. He was in this band early on. Wow, crazy stuff for 1964.
I did not know that..saw Jeff in probably 1975 with Jan Hammer at the Philadelphia Spectrum for $7.50...knowing he hung out with Lord Sutch...makes him even cooler than he was
Jeff Beck never played with SLS.
@@lotharroberts5978 He did briefly in 1964 and again in a horrible Sutch album from 1970.
Jeff Beck is dead???
@@thehellyousay paul also
I saw Dave Sutch a few times at the old Railway Hotel in Wealdstone (he was a local boy). He was never much of a singer really but he was a terrific showman. Touch of old style Music Hall going on there, really. He used to make a point of freaking out the girls in the audience who would scream and back away just like the girls in this audience, but really they loved it. You'd get the odd one who tried playing it cool but you knew that they were shitting themselves as well. He had a never-ending supply of props and effects which he used at unexpected points during his act. He really was a lot of fun on a good night.
He's had some pretty well known people working in his backing band (The Savages) over the years.
He was before his time!
i guess you guys aren't ready for this yet...but yer parents are gonna love it!
Brilliant sense of theatre.
A consummate performer and entertainer. Just amazing!
Just imagine a world where a performance like this was never recorded. Life would be so different
A man way ahead of his time! Brilliant!
Always gave out with a good show...well liked and a one-off!! RIP to an entertainer.
those girls in the audince look like they are scared to death
they are old ladies now. hard to comprehend.
and having the time of their lives! Perhaps the LAST time of their lives... :O
Yes! Thats TRUE fucking Metal!!! from 1964
Punk rock, not metal.
Not metal, not punk; shock rock.
I watched him twice in Manchester 1963-4ish at two different venues and both the shows were fabulous
Man I can’t believe lord Sutch died nearly 20 years ago, much missed loony, he’d still get my vote .
Very interesting that you saw him...way ahead if his time
Original death rock artist! ☠️
Fantastic ROCK n ROLL song ! 🧡
Saw him in the 80´s in Munich on stage.
Girls would faint with fright when he made his entrance. He would creep in through the crowd. Just like in this video.
really did freak them girls out lol
Can't stop watching this
Paul Nicholas on piano !!
Lord Sutch was a great laugh live. I saw him twice and wish it was more.
Who is the rest of the band?
Does anybody know???
What a friendly young man! I think the girls in the audience should have invited him to tea!
I love this fellow!!
Carina see on RUclips at WHO REALLY INVENTED SATANIC METAL?
Genius
Absolutely great performance !
Wicked beautiful!
Nice British take on Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Frigging awesome, actually. Wish I'd found this earlier.
Way before it's time .
This was recorded in Forest Gate North London, at the Lotus Club. The date was 29th Sep 1964, it was first shown on BBC2 on Fri 23 Apr 1965. I am the Blond in the frount row I was 15. We didn't have our skirts very short as tights wern't yet around , still in stockens & suspenders, Topless dresses were in and my dress is cut as low as my mother would allow!. Great times, Gigs were all held in small dance hall etc so we got close to the artists not like the venues now!!!
forest gates in east london surely i dj d at the lotus club in the 70s
Brilliant! "An evil Christmas to you all!"
great stuff
@2100Rose Tights came in a year or two after this (1965/66) I remember going into my office at that time and saying to the girls "look at these new things, they are called tights and we can now wear our skirts as short as we like", and we did !! If they couldn't see your nickers when you bent over the skirt/dress was too long!!!
As i have said often they were great times and we were all little rebels.
You're my sort of girl - saucy.
Brilliant
This is great quality for 1964. It doesn't look like an old recording at all.
Bloody Brilliant...
1st shock/glam act ever
Actually, he would have been the second. His American namesake, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who started recording in the 1950's was probably the first. Hawkins' voodoo-tinged act would open with him climbing out of a casket, and included his sidekick, a cigarette-smoking skeleton. His best-known songs include "I Put a Spell on You" (recorded in 1956 and later covered by Creedence Clearwater Revival") and "Frenzy" (used in "The X-Files" for it's "Humbug" episode). Here's a page reviewing one of albums (scroll down for audio samples) www.allmusic.com/album/voodoo-jive-the-best-of-screamin-jay-hawkins-mw0000202962
Similarly borrowing from Hawkins was Louisiana native Dr. John the Nighttripper, also from the States, who took Hawkins' voodoo schtick a much further, his 1968 _Gris-Gris_ debut album featuring what feels like authentic ritual vibes. www.allmusic.com/album/gris-gris-mw0000263588
I would have thought so too, but Screaming Jay Hawkins beat him by 8 years!
Screaming lord stuch was a real nutcase pure bananas if you know what I mean
Happy Birthday , Your Lordship. We miss you.
Thanks for putting up this great clip.
original mad man
my favorite song
He was a genius and downright genius ahead of his time.
I love Lord Sutch!
I knew him in the 80s and he was still playing then.
That may well have been a young Ritchie Blackmore on guitar; he said in an interview that he played with Lord Such when he was very young, and learned a lot about stage presence.
This Records is fucking magnificent!!!
I cant believe!!!
I can't believe they played music like this in the 60s!!! he reminds me of KING DIAMOND!!! these are the foundations of world black metal!!!
The very first shock rocker.
I love this man.
CLASSIC. Thanks Ron for posting.
This is ridiculous and I like it
Saw him live in Cambridge early sixties and he was amazing.
He was just whispered about in Canada --- amazing that this was popular culture in the UK
Saw them live in Cambridge late 63 or early 64. Great stage act, he would have made a bloody sight better MP than some of the tossers we have now.
Thank you very much for this one!
"With his little black bag,and his one track mind" That sums this dude up,yeah.
Original s.o.b. he was;but he wasn't able to move with the times,which probably caused his depressions.
Priceless footage,this.
Fascinating to see this, as social history.
As what was probably the highlight of the show, pretty feeble really.
I saw werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's
His hair was perfect.
Я считаю, что это восхитительно, потрясающе и просто непревзойдённое выступление. И становится ясно, откуда черпали вдохновение Элис Купер и Кинг Даймонд, например, тащемта.
The birth of Black Metal:)
Filmed at the Lotus Club in Forest Gate, London. Used to be above a large furniture shop as I recall.
Can you imagine Screaming Lord Sutch performing that same show in a similar venue today? The "Snowflakes" would get him arrested and locked up that's for sure!
Fantastic performance from "The Lord" - Some of today's so-called "Performers" should watch this and take note.
In terms of politics I can't believe that today's Lord Buckethead wasn't strongly influenced by Screaming Lord Sutch!
AWESOME!
i love you for uploading this. amazing.
Screaming Lord Sutch, Sun Ra, Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart. the greatest mavericks of music, individuality could never quite keep up after they took stage.
This is easily the best version of the song
YEAH rock on
This is brilliant! I only heard of this through a cover by The Sharks, and am so glad that I discovered it!
What a performer!
Once met him in. The 1990s when he was canvessing at elections in kinsley .met him in the farmers club where he was staying.he played a rock n roll concert that went down a storm,and gave me a million pound note that i could redeem when he was prime minister.i still have the note tucked inside an lp of his.he was very nice and talked about the 60s music scene.i asked him if paul nicholas was in his band which he confermed as he is in this clip.A nice man RIP.
Thank you so much. I had never seen him until this. Love the geeky guy at 2:19 trying to look cool and the young lady immediately thereafter who looks as though she fears that she truly will be eviscerated.
The song reminds me a bit of "Alley Opp".
He and Arthur Brown were cutting edge.
Screaming Lord Such and Alice Cooper now that's a duo for Halloween or any time if the year. Saw Lord Sutch a few times he was a crazy man but very entertaining and enjoyable
Instant fan! Like Svengoolie on acid.
You are so right about svengoolie.
I love this video!
Early Dammed. Great stuff.
Most excellent story..Bob from all the way from New jersey
Holy Shit! its King Diamond long before there was King Diamond ;o
Thanks for sharing
great video. thanks for posting it, so much.
this tune reminds me of "Alley-Oop" by The Hollywood Argyles -
My best friends dad is playing guitar i think.....vic clark original savages guitarist. Im in a band with his two sons lol we are going to cover this in honour of uncle vic :) SMASHED \M/
I’m in hysterics at all the girlies
Always loved Lord Sutch ... Ritchie Blackmore served an apprenticeship playing with his band. I would say Sutch had a big visual influence on Dave Vanian of the Damned.
To Awesome!
