This is truly atmospheric, hypnotic, mesmerising & scary all rolled into sheer genius from the forgotten man & band that never received anything like the recognition they deserved. RIP Alex you really were as talented as it gets IMO
@@timothywalker1388 Haha, I clicked on this out of curiosity and after a few seconds I thought it could really be something but sadly it turned out to be one of those endless intro things were no actual song ever starts, quite disappointing. I'm reluctant to imagine the rest if this is the best song, thanks for the warning!
There is another underrated talent , Lynden Williams with his bands Jerusalem , Zorbonauts , Deckchair Poets - which are projects from a real unknown supergroup. There is a great tribute to the faith healer too , listen to Zorbonauts - Faith Healer 👍
Saw them in W.Germany 1974 they were the support band for Deep Purple in Halle Munsterland. Blew me away, first live band I ever saw. Then DP came on😱. Never been the same again.😀
First heard when I was spending an evening sitting at home with my reel to reel snagging stuff off the FM radio and captured "Faith Healer" on tape. Maybe that same night they played "Fresh Garbage" by Spirti too. FM Radio pre-takeover by the mega stations was the best. Glad that I had that recorder it was worth every penny!
@@carolwolf9614 Unfortunately, those tapes only exist in my memory and I am surprised I even recall that much detail. It was fun taping music on the radio, a lot of people taped their LPs and then could listen to just the recordings and save their LP collection as new, I never did that myself I played my LPs.
Absolutely HYPNOTIC!!! One of my favorite songs of all time!!! Alex Harvey and his gang look like straight from the movie 'The Warriors' - Mesmerizing!!!!! 👏👏👏💯
Saw them at Slough Assembly Halls in mid 70s. One of the great nights of my youth. When I hear this I can still smell the waft if stale beer coming up through the worn parquet flooring.
I saw SAHB many times at The Roxy Theatre back in the late 70's. I was a teen then and I'm 66 today. I look back at their shows with such great memories. One of the all time great live bands.
Yup. I'm 64. I long ago lost count of the number of acts that I've seen live. That has included singers with superb voices such as Ian Gillan and Annie Haslam. It has included singers with bags of charisma and stage presence such as Mick Jagger, Noddy Holder and George Melly. But I've never seen anyone who could just *own* a stage and spellbind an audience to the extent that Alex Harvey could. He is much missed.
I was going to name my first born Alex. I decided not to bring children into this world. I had an Alexandrian parakeet and I named him Alex. Great minds.
This band blew my mind the first time I saw them. Way ahead of their time. It's no easy feat to capture the attention of the audience without a a flashy stage show, but they did it. All these musicians are under rated. You can see the influence in todays music. Long live Vambo!
Saw these guys half a dozen times in the 1970's (even supporting the Who at Charlton Athletic). The best live stage show bar none and I have seen all the greats. Thank you for this.
Great memories ,lived a few doors down from the group when they rented a house in Hornsey London n8 in the early 70,s. Knocked on the door and actually had a chat with Chris glenn and even got him to sign something for me !!!!....
I want to thank ITunes for allowing me, while searching for something else, to stumble along and find this SENSATIONAL band. This band is fantastic. A movie should be made. The album “Hot City” is a masterpiece. Come on Hollywood, a sensational movie is just around the Vambo..
I saw SAHB in the 70s at Exeter University where my mate Sarah and I had managed to inveigle ourselves into the audience by carrying a couple of boxes of singles in for the DJ. The band were truly sensational. Zal was brilliant on the guitar and I still remember number which i recall being called "Rio". Fantastic. Menacing and brilliant.
I met Zal a few years ago when Alex was honored at the peoples palace in Glasgow. Had a few drinks with him along with Chris Glen, Ted Mckenna and Alex Harvey jnr in the Clutha bar, Glasgow, not long before the terrible helicopter crash! Zal was telling me he hasn't picked up a guitar in years, I couldn't believe my ears!! Was a fantastic day, I will never forget it. Really nice bloke he was, very down to earth.
I saw SAHB supporting Slade June 1973 at Leeds University.I was 13 and left with my mouth open! I bought all their albums over the next few weeks (pocket money allowing!) I remember getting into trouble for playing 'Next" too loudly and my Mum getting annoyed at the lyrics!
I think he was the most charismatic performer I ever saw. The audience was in awe of him. If he'd said let's invade Russia , we be there (though it's a bad idea). Alex, you give people the strength to face the world and say no!
I remember being in a record shop in Scotland ( early 70's ) thumbing thru albums and hearing this over the shops radio, so I asked about it. Long story short I bought the album and enjoyed it for many years. My only regret is that I never saw them live.
In 1973 a lad from Sheffield who was only 16 yrs old went to see Slade at Sheffield City Hall. The opening act was SAHB. He saw SAHB five times and Slade only once.
Looking and listening now, many years after this, I am struck with some of the attitude, face, intonation that Bon Scott has with Alex. That's a good thing.
Saw SAHB at the Roxy in Hollywood in the early 70's....they were banned after the performance as Alex spray painted 'Vambo Rules' on the curtains....what a show...
Alex asked me to play flute for him on a Recording made at a London Studio in the early 70s. The Band was so loud I had to play isolated in something that resembled a Telephone Box, as the Band would have been picked up on the Mike I was using. I have the Track on an MC. It is very low in loudness. Maybe I''ll get a copy made from the MC sometime and see how it sounds with the volume raised.
SAHB was more like a cross between a vaudeville act & an Olde English Troupe with the theater thrown in for free. They were as different as night & day compared to other acts of the time. Exceptionally good LIVE! I can't stress just how spectacular they were. He used to act quite giddy about introducing his band, he'd do it over & over as part of the act. When he stuffed the stockings in his mouth & started his 'I've been FRAMED' routine, we about fell over. Up till then, bands that incorporated a crazy stage act the entire show were & stayed EXTREMELY rare. The Faith Healer was very much an act about faith healing, strange in itself.
This was my favorite Foetus song. Clint Ruin is still a genius for covering it, but these guys were waaaay out there and ahead of their times. I guess the internet isn't all shite.
I saw this band 3 times in the mid to late 70s at Wolverhampton civic Hall I also saw Zal Cleminson when he went solo with his band Zal.. at Wolverhampton Lafayette club
I only saw them once. I think it must have been in late 1973 or early 1974, in the concrete hell venue that was the Sam Houston Coliseum in downtown Houston. (I loved that place. I am sure bands hated it.) SAHB was the first or second act on a three act bill, with either The Faces or Jethro Tull headlining. It was the first or second gig I photographed professionally (I was 16 going on 17.) They were fun and intense. I’d never seen anything like them. This song and their version of “Delilah” were highlights. I never did get the “Vambo” thing though. After SAHB finished their set, I went back stage and ended up in SAHB’s dressing room. The room, like the entire backstage area, stank of stale cigarettes, stale sweat, stale spilled beer, and Lysol. My distinct memory is of Alex and Glen teaching me to drink (and like) Guinness Stout at room temperature. After awhile it was time for me to photograph the headline act so I said my goodbyes and left. They are still one of my favorite bands to listen to. Theatrical? OMFG Yes, but without that band’s pretentiousness. I see and hear a direct line from them to the Sex Pistols
NOBBY, you are 100% correct my friend! Alex was one of Bon's Idols, listen to swampsnake, and you would sware it was bon himself, look at early ac/dc footage, and you will see the same striped jumper on Bon that was Mr Harvey's trademark, Bon loved Alex Harvey, Angus Young has said Bon loved Aex & he was one of his Idols, both true Scotsmen, and both sadly missed, RIP Bon & Alex, We miss you both so much, God Bless x
God, I love The SAHB. Thanks for posting the videos. Thanks also to WMMS, a once upon a time, great radio station, for turning me on to them back in the mid-70s. Saw them live only once. Even so, they rank as one of my favorite live bands of all time, encompassing nearly fifty years of concert-going.
I came here from an interview with Bon Scott’s wife when she was asked about some of his favorite bands, she named this band. Glad she did, this is fantastic… I can hear the influence in the vocal style. Great band here.
Saw them twice in Edinburgh mid seventies. Also saw Tear Gas as a 15 year old at my local town hall. Brilliant. There's a German SAHB tribute band, can't remember their name but they're brilliant.
Haha, yeah. Saw them twice. Zal Cleminson's "psycho clown/guitar hero" was mesmerising and terrifying at the same time, while Alex Harvey was your favourite uncle/hardest guy in town. You loved him but knew he could kick your sorry ass if you got out of line. 😁
Those who know? Know, was in Germany in the 70,s listening to all sorts of awesome music, including these boys, Boston, the who, what great times, we just didn’t know it wouldn’t last forever
Thanks for the upload! I have been following this band for 40 years purchase every album i could on cd about 10 years ago (from Japan) this is the first time I have seen this clip and I love this song!
Before this band he used to be in the resident band at the electric gardens in Sauchiehall street Glasgow, I saw him there when I was young, Midge ure played there also. Fantastic singer songwriter and band.
I became obsessed with this band when I was 14 in the 70's.
Unique, wonderful, Scotland's best ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
From Scotland, cool.
born 59, me too. but Isabel Goudi is my favorit ...
Scotlands best ever rock singer ever and this man is never mentioned ever any were and it's criminal that he isn't.
Alex Harvey and Thin Lizzy were trailblazers for Celtic rock in the late 60s and early 1970s, and rock n' roll in general...
Completely, he was one of a kind that for sure
Are we forgetting Dan McCafferty? Better than Harvey, in my opinion anyway.
I spray canned sahb everywhere I could in the late 70’s
Unbelievable
This is truly atmospheric, hypnotic, mesmerising & scary all rolled into sheer genius from the forgotten man & band that never received anything like the recognition they deserved. RIP Alex you really were as talented as it gets IMO
I saw them. This was their best song by an absolute mile. Mediocre beyond that.

@@DerEchteBold Not even close to his best. Try listening to the album titled Framed
One of the best live acts I saw, along with Be Bop Deluxe. I saw SAAB at Stoke City football ground in 1975. They were supporting Yes.
Saw them in W.Germany 1974 they were the support band for Deep Purple in Halle Munsterland. Blew me away, first live band I ever saw. Then DP came on😱. Never been the same again.😀

Awesome, My Dad loved this when we were kids 💖
Your dad had great taste, I hope you have inherited the luv for SAHB
Absolutely HYPNOTIC!!! One of my favorite songs of all time!!! Alex Harvey and his gang look like straight from the movie 'The Warriors' - Mesmerizing!!!!! 👏👏👏💯
The Warriors look like something straight from the Alex Harvey Band..
Шотландцы! Молодцы! Уникальные люди! Музыка эта только очередной раз это доказала! Браво!
One of the best live acts I’ve ever seen. Such stage presence.
Не сомневаюсь!
Can't disagree with that.
Wonderfully eccentric, creepy, mad, & theatrical all rolled into one band. How I wish I had been old enough to see this great band back in the day. 🖤
Ahhhhh, I was that lucky. Saw them live at the Whiskey a Go Go on Sunset Blvd. Sensational show
Saw them in Birmingham UK in 1976 (or 1977 - not sure which). Epic concert.
saw them in our home town Glasgow in 1971 and they were brilliant👍👍
Saw them at Slough Assembly Halls in mid 70s. One of the great nights of my youth. When I hear this I can still smell the waft if stale beer coming up through the worn parquet flooring.
@@mavjimboможно только позавидовать белой завистью!
I saw SAHB many times at The Roxy Theatre back in the late 70's. I was a teen then and I'm 66 today. I look back at their shows with such great memories. One of the all time great live bands.
You were blessed ❤️
born 1959 feel same like you ...
First time I heard this hypnotic mesmerized masterpiece it hits me like a truck! Thank you and see you around Alex, someday! 🤗
punk before punk was invented, A great band. 😃
punk? what the hell are you talking about?
So wild, so trippy, so original, so hauntingly chilling, so mesmerizing, so amazing, so great!
What a fantastic description of the almost indescribable phenomenon that was the SAHB.
Trippy? More like a bad trip..
AGREED
Shame that this is only the shortened 3 minute 'single version'. The full album version is much better.
@@robertwrightson6455 - What's your idea of a great rock group - I guess the Monkees?
Best stage act I ever saw, and i'm 61 now so i've seen a few. Where have all the rock bands gone..?
For a young rock band check out Wolf Alice
Yup. I'm 64. I long ago lost count of the number of acts that I've seen live. That has included singers with superb voices such as Ian Gillan and Annie Haslam. It has included singers with bags of charisma and stage presence such as Mick Jagger, Noddy Holder and George Melly. But I've never seen anyone who could just *own* a stage and spellbind an audience to the extent that Alex Harvey could. He is much missed.
Yoir era was unique in rock music
So true
All the rock bands left when you decided nobody could possibly be any good any more
Saw them in Sheffield City hall 74 or 75 curtain came back and all there was a brick wall until Alex's fist came thru.
I was there too. Saw them open for Slade the year before. Never saw Slade again but SAHB another four times.
Was lucky enough to see them live ,will never forget that concert was absolutely mind blowing. Even called my daughter Alex !
That's cool af does she play gtr or sing
I was going to name my first born Alex. I decided not to bring children into this world. I had an Alexandrian parakeet and I named him Alex.
Great minds.
A good friend named his son Alexander Harvey L.....! Young lad is an awesome guitar player and has travelled the world a true free spirit!
was she conceived after the show ?
Can we have some more of this please Scotland?
what´s about FISH and MARILLION
This band blew my mind the first time I saw them.
Way ahead of their time.
It's no easy feat to capture the attention of the audience without a a flashy stage show, but they did it.
All these musicians are under rated.
You can see the influence in todays music.
Long live Vambo!
Vambo rools
This isn’t just music it’s art. I wish i’d been alive in that time to see them
Saw them live twice in Student's Unions in the UK. Next to the Faces, my favourite live band.
Saw these guys half a dozen times in the 1970's (even supporting the Who at Charlton Athletic). The best live stage show bar none and I have seen all the greats. Thank you for this.
Great memories ,lived a few doors down from the group when they rented a house in Hornsey London n8 in the early 70,s. Knocked on the door and actually had a chat with Chris glenn and even got him to sign something for me !!!!....
Sensational indeed. Scotland's finest.
And NAZARETH 👌👌
@@charliemckeever3192 Bay City Rollers.
To come from skiffle to prog to this truely sensational 🌟🎶✨
Very under rated. No idea why as this is one of the top UK bands ever.
i remember my band supporting Alex and the band in Stirling oh dear absolutely Awesome
50 years strong-
Still an absolute banger.
I want to thank ITunes for allowing me, while searching for something else, to stumble along and find this SENSATIONAL band.
This band is fantastic.
A movie should be made.
The album “Hot City” is a masterpiece.
Come on Hollywood, a sensational movie is just around the Vambo..
I saw SAHB in the 70s at Exeter University where my mate Sarah and I had managed to inveigle ourselves into the audience by carrying a couple of boxes of singles in for the DJ. The band were truly sensational. Zal was brilliant on the guitar and I still remember number which i recall being called "Rio". Fantastic. Menacing and brilliant.
Zal Cleminson, the MOST underated guitarist ever!
I met Zal a few years ago when Alex was honored at the peoples palace in Glasgow. Had a few drinks with him along with Chris Glen, Ted Mckenna and Alex Harvey jnr in the Clutha bar, Glasgow, not long before the terrible helicopter crash! Zal was telling me he hasn't picked up a guitar in years, I couldn't believe my ears!! Was a fantastic day, I will never forget it. Really nice bloke he was, very down to earth.
Sad to hear
Zal was certainly well rated by anyone who knew what a good guitar player sounded like
That tone!
Zal had a group called Sin Digs
Once in a blue moon the stars align perfectly, this time it happened it was caught on film.
Amazing spellbinding performance.
My dad knew Alex and grew up Glasgow same place I've followed his career since a kid ..
I saw SAHB supporting Slade June 1973 at Leeds University.I was 13 and left with my mouth open! I bought all their albums over the next few weeks (pocket money allowing!) I remember getting into trouble for playing 'Next" too loudly and my Mum getting annoyed at the lyrics!
What a band!!!!. I love them since i discover their music, back in 1996. Greetings from Madrid my dear scottish brothers and sisters!!!!!
Incredibly great band - and Alex himself, what a creative genius!
Doood wtf I’ve never heard this!!! This is incredible! You can tell these guys influence a lot of groups!
Got to know them in late 80s.
What cool music - what a time it was!
Best wishes from Germany
I think he was the most charismatic performer I ever saw. The audience was in awe of him. If he'd said let's invade Russia , we be there (though it's a bad idea). Alex, you give people the strength to face the world and say no!
I play the band all the time in my car. Even my wife likes them now. ( It took a while though 'cos she likes Cliff Richard.)
Will high five that! I grew up on long haulage listening to him, parents are polish Scottish and alex had and influence
Just cleaned and played my vinyl album containing this song - and noticed it's 51 years old! Stunning record, stunning band.
Loved the 70's and loved the Alex Harvey Band...bring it on!!!!
Bring it all back and get it on!
Saw them at Central London Poly back in the day.
Saw Alex and the boys in Detroit in 1977 and have been a fan ever since,
I remember being in a record shop in Scotland ( early 70's ) thumbing thru albums and hearing this over the shops radio, so I asked about it. Long story short I bought the album and enjoyed it for many years. My only regret is that I never saw them live.

Saw that same show at The Victoria Hall in Stoke 1973 and a few weeks later 'The Spiders from Mars' fer a quid ! Happy days eh !
Heard this on Radio Caroline last week with a long into.
Proper live band. All of them at the TOP of their game. Part of the greatest OGWT session ever.
Scotland's finest. Just magificent musicians
That`not only music, this is a kind of Art like Bowie or something else like this. Great
Alex shared a flat with Bowie in London for a while. I guess Bowie learned some tricks.
This has lived rent free in my head since it was released
Used to see them every year at greensplay house, Glasgow.
Amazing live. Should have been a massive band.
I was lucky enough to see them live - seven times
My opinion. Scot’s music.!! Is special. This group was up with everyone. Totally unique ❤️❤️❤️👍🏽👍🏽💡🕊💪🏽💡
Looking and listening now, many years after this, I am struck with some of the attitude, face, intonation that Bon Scott has with Alex. That's a good thing.
The only problem with this is that it's the "single edit". The album version goes gloriously on for ages. ❤❤❤
Kissey Kissey fish Kissey
and thank heaven it does.....I"ll take the original long cut thank you.
Thanks for that inside information
Saw SAHB at the Roxy in Hollywood in the early 70's....they were banned after the performance as Alex spray painted 'Vambo Rules' on the curtains....what a show...
Lucky you:) Loved em but closest I got was a Cleveland tribute called Vambo Rools; couple sets were OK but I didn't hang till the end.
Alex asked me to play flute for him on a Recording made at a London Studio in the early 70s.
The Band was so loud I had to play isolated in something that resembled a Telephone Box, as the Band would have been picked up on the Mike I was using.
I have the Track on an MC. It is very low in loudness. Maybe I''ll get a copy made from the MC sometime and see how it sounds with the volume raised.
Alex Harvey was an incredible character.
SAHB was more like a cross between a vaudeville act & an Olde English Troupe with the theater thrown in for free. They were as different as night & day compared to other acts of the time. Exceptionally good LIVE! I can't stress just how spectacular they were. He used to act quite giddy about introducing his band, he'd do it over & over as part of the act. When he stuffed the stockings in his mouth & started his 'I've been FRAMED' routine, we about fell over. Up till then, bands that incorporated a crazy stage act the entire show were & stayed EXTREMELY rare. The Faith Healer was very much an act about faith healing, strange in itself.
What a band - what a performance. Love it, from south Wales.
Oi Oi Sheep shager. Neath.
So so glad to have lived through this era, being in Belfast then I only saw a few but thanks Rory, and Wilco for coming over. You were the best.
Love these guys. Zal Cleminson kicks ass. Found them on European CDs and I listen to them a LOT.
Super glad this popped up,a very fine band,i remember them well.
This was my favorite Foetus song. Clint Ruin is still a genius for covering it, but these guys were waaaay out there and ahead of their times. I guess the internet isn't all shite.
Fucking brilliant, my favourite 70s band!
I saw this band 3 times in the mid to late 70s at Wolverhampton civic Hall I also saw Zal Cleminson when he went solo with his band Zal.. at Wolverhampton Lafayette club
I only saw them once. I think it must have been in late 1973 or early 1974, in the concrete hell venue that was the Sam Houston Coliseum in downtown Houston. (I loved that place. I am sure bands hated it.)
SAHB was the first or second act on a three act bill, with either The Faces or Jethro Tull headlining. It was the first or second gig I photographed professionally (I was 16 going on 17.) They were fun and intense. I’d never seen anything like them. This song and their version of “Delilah” were highlights. I never did get the “Vambo” thing though.
After SAHB finished their set, I went back stage and ended up in SAHB’s dressing room. The room, like the entire backstage area, stank of stale cigarettes, stale sweat, stale spilled beer, and Lysol.
My distinct memory is of Alex and Glen teaching me to drink (and like) Guinness Stout at room temperature. After awhile it was time for me to photograph the headline act so I said my goodbyes and left.
They are still one of my favorite bands to listen to. Theatrical? OMFG Yes, but without that band’s pretentiousness.
I see and hear a direct line from them to the Sex Pistols
Immer noch so super....unsterblich
I like this kind of music and it helps me especially when I do ordering of my stamps collections. Thanks, Brian !
Im a true fan of 70s glam, that mime is crazy! I hear so many bands in his music. Just got into Alex Harvey and i dig it!
NOBBY, you are 100% correct my friend! Alex was one of Bon's Idols, listen to swampsnake, and you would sware it was bon himself, look at early ac/dc footage, and you will see the same striped jumper on Bon that was Mr Harvey's trademark, Bon loved Alex Harvey, Angus Young has said Bon loved Aex & he was one of his Idols, both true Scotsmen, and both sadly missed, RIP Bon & Alex, We miss you both so much, God Bless x
Jumper?! It's a rugby jersey.
Rugby jersey?? Don't think so m8, you haven't a clue what your talking about!
Brilliant, one day I will be in a band that wants to play this.
one of the most UNDERrated Bands ( FRONTMEN) EVER EVER EVER
God, I love The SAHB. Thanks for posting the videos. Thanks also to WMMS, a once upon a time, great radio station, for turning me on to them back in the mid-70s. Saw them live only once. Even so, they rank as one of my favorite live bands of all time, encompassing nearly fifty years of concert-going.
WMMS turned me on to SAHB along with Funkadelic at 2am Sunday morning! What a great time.
This is how I found out about them. Classic band.
WMMS was an awesome station. WONE in Akron was a close 2nd
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta gotta gotta gotta GET DOWN FOR THE WEEKEND......Greatest of times
Superstitious nonsense
I love this band !!!! What a great bunch they were...... way ahead of the game.......
The guitar player is giving me a real kiss vibe
@@wxsuperman38
Where do you think they got the idea? KISS: fucking posers
You love really easy other men
That choppin' guitar, squealing saxophone & frantic industrial tempo transports us to the whaling slips & ships.
I came here from an interview with Bon Scott’s wife when she was asked about some of his favorite bands, she named this band.
Glad she did, this is fantastic… I can hear the influence in the vocal style. Great band here.
Amazing genius, only wish I could have had the good fortune to see them live
Unbelievably unique and sadly massively overlooked - if he had lived longer he would have been huge
ANOTHER ONE OF SCOTLANDS FINEST RIP ALEX.
Saw them twice in Edinburgh mid seventies. Also saw Tear Gas as a 15 year old at my local town hall. Brilliant. There's a German SAHB tribute band, can't remember their name but they're brilliant.
saw this on OGWT & thought they were strange, in later years i could appreciate the magnificense of the track
I know Cleveland had a love affair with Alex Harvey Band. WMMS always played them....Good Times!!
Saw them at Trentham gardens in 74 or 75, very underrated band .
SAHB the perfect mix. They are musical, menacing and theatrical......marvellous
Haha, yeah. Saw them twice. Zal Cleminson's "psycho clown/guitar hero" was mesmerising and terrifying at the same time, while Alex Harvey was your favourite uncle/hardest guy in town. You loved him but knew he could kick your sorry ass if you got out of line. 😁
Those who know? Know, was in Germany in the 70,s listening to all sorts of awesome music, including these boys, Boston, the who, what great times, we just didn’t know it wouldn’t last forever
Saw them a few times live, a long time ago, Faith Healer was totally amazing. Loved all there songs. Many thanks Alex x
Out of this world SAHB were amazing and we're su underrated made great albums and were dynamite live 🎸🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍
Yes - UNDERRATED!!!
It is hard to imagine that he would now be 86 years old.
Awesome. Seen them in middlesbrough in the town hall crypt. Will nevermind 🤟🤟 forget him.
Thanks for the upload! I have been following this band for 40 years purchase every album i could on cd about 10 years ago (from Japan) this is the first time I have seen this clip and I love this song!
Before this band he used to be in the resident band at the electric gardens in Sauchiehall street Glasgow, I saw him there when I was young, Midge ure played there also.
Fantastic singer songwriter and band.
Best gig I ever saw, Kursaal Southend around 1976
Saw them Leics de Montfort
1970 ish
Amazing Best ever LIVE band
Live you Alex
RIP Malcolm Bigley- drummer and superman- RIP year 2 please hug my mom, & Jake & Rusty- xxx
it's been almost a year since you have been gone Malcolm-xo
SORRY TO HEAR
SAHB is the essence of theater rock or art rock or out there rock...well done...
Seen these a few times always outstanding.
I saw them supporting the WHO at charlton athletic stadium 1974 they were amazing
I have loved this track since the 70's I also enjoy some of the covers of it done by other bands
I bought the album in 1976 when i was a 16 still love it!
One of the top 5 rock bands ever, And no1 live
