I loved Slade at 15 and still do at 65, Dave Hill my silver god, Australia loved Slade, in my top 3 bands. Still know all the words to hits ie, alright everybody, let your hair down, clap your hands and stamp your feet ......Slade rocked our world.
@@shereemcclelland2186 I thought I remembered them saying stamp your hands and clap your feet everybody get down and git with it. That's what made it funny.
@alexhills38It was Ozzy Osbourne with Blizzard of Oz, who couldn’t or didn’t turn up. The promoters contacted Slade who had actually split up, and told them they would go down really well. Dave Hill needed to be convinced to give it one last try but they showed up with only their instruments, and parked with the general public - and boom! The boost from this one performance got us a bunch more songs from Slade. My Oh My, Run Run Away etc. It was a second wind.
Yes I was there watching Slade filling in for Blizzard of Ozz . Fantastic performance! A few weeks later my local night club “The Norbreck Nite Spot “ advertised that a band who recently cancelled at Reading would be playing , well I knew exactly who that was going to be . So I saw Ozzy Ozbourne playing in the smallest most intimate venue ever . Amazing time . Coincidentally I also managed to see Slade twice at that same venue , brilliant times .
I saw them many many times in their prime in the early 70s, i have seen all of the big groups over the years, and i can tell you none of them where as good as Slade live, Noddy had the best voice in rock ever too, oh yes and boy they were loud.
Live at the Melbourne Showgrounds, hot and wet , typical Australian weather, it was sold out, what a concert. Australia loved Slade. Never, ever forget it. Wow what a blast 🇦🇺🌟🎸🎤🎼
I saw this lot half a dozen times in the 70s ( and missed me paper round once!! Late home again, sorry dad! Bless you) believe me they were loud. Excellent band. Not everybody's cuppa but what you saw is what you got. They were right up there with the big boys for a great gig and night. Consider myself fortunate because you aint never going to see them again. John, Sharon's husband
Noddy is my hero! I loved Slade back in the day, and I love them now! I lived in Israel when GoodBuy tJane came out and they played it constantly on Israeli radio. I was about 25 then, I'm 76 now. Still rocking out!
1972 i thought they were the dogs wotsits,and bought every album on vinyl,if it wasn't for Slade my teenage years would never have been the same without them,still in my collection today and still played very loud.......big thanks to Noddy,Dave,Jimmy and Don for some great songs and great memories that go with them.......11/10 guys and 11 on the volume button
Look at the stage floor, No gadjets, Computers etc... Plugged in from the amp to the guitar, Mikes to PA and away they go. Loud and clear ready to rock!!! Lucky to see them live back in the day.
Living in the U.S. they never got much airplay here, and I find rather remiss they they didn't get the attention they deserved. I only heard about them through a friend of mine at the time. His older brother had the "Sladest" album, and played it for me in my formative teens. He also introduced me to Mott The Hoople at the same time, another band that should've gotten more attention here too.
I have seen many bands in my time ,up there were Slade ,one of the loudest hard rockin' bands I was privileged to see on many occasions ,if you never saw them live and on fire ,buy the live albums and play loud .
Takes me back to high school in High Wycombe UK - went to high school on US Military Base - they were on Top o the Pops. 40 years later I travel to Wolverhampton frequently for business - guess they had a club there called Slade - assume its connected
Wow how random I should come across your comment so quickly!! I live in High Wycombe area! Daws Hill was the military base. Love Slade. You still in Wycombe??🧑🎄🧑🎄🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
@@michael5089 LOL - No I live in San Diego I was in London on business on one of many of my trips to UK and had an extra day so took the train to High Wycombe walked up the Rye and hiked up the hill that takes you to the back of the base - sad to see it being demo’d for the new housing development ( all named after US /UK Generals ) but was happy to do that walk up memory lane. I completed the loop by walking down Daws Hill back to town center , into the pub right across from the train station - used to go between ages 16-18. I watched the 4 part slade documentary on U-tube it was magic…
@@sdvol9077 Amazing memories! Thanks for that! So when was that you did that walk? Recent years? Do you still visit here ? You spent years growing up here ? Lovely to message you. 🤘🤘🎸🎸 PS Flint Cottage is the pub????
I think I'm right in saying that Slade had more or less broken up at this point and then they were offered this festival slot. The band member who was most keen not to carry on was Dave, he had most or less left the band, the other three were considering stopping though. The headliners 'Blizzard Of Oz' (Ozzy Osborunes band) cancelled, Slade were offered it - and all four members were keen and they did the show.
Awesome, as always! So energetic and Dave's outfit is the best by far. I like the way he always has an edge but still looks like a real rocker; the man's got style!
Possibly the most underrated live rock'n'roll band ever. I was lucky enough to see them live in the 70's, the 80's and the 90's and they were always superb. 100%, everytime they set foot on a stage. The only modern bands that I can say the same about are Black Stone Cherry, Halestorm and Shinedown.
I said goodbye to a Jane leaving my life this way, over a PA system at a summer training camp. She ditched me the night before and this went on the breakfast airwaves before she left for home! It was totally cathartic! My thanks always to Noddy and the boys!
An awesome band to see live. Don't judge the audio of this concert by what you hear on your PC. I assure you it was an entirely different deal stood in front of Slade's speaker stacks. They sure did 'Play It Loud'.
Agreed! Saw them in New Orleans at The Warehouse back in ‘74 or ‘75 (damn, can’t remember). We were there early hanging on the stage and you could feel the air pushing against your face from the speakers...great fun!
I know I'm stating the obvious but Noddy had one heck of a voice..predated Brian Johnson AC/DC voice by ten years..what a great rock n roll band!!! Makes me proud to be from the midlands
Saw them in Adelaide in 197? (It was hazy) Shared the bill with Status Quo, Lindisfarne! and a brilliant Adelaide band Fraternity, with a young Bon Scott (AC/DC) on vocals. What an eclectic lineup at the old showground, but brilliant. Don Powell swigged from a large bottle of scotch between songs!
Blimey aren't we a wee bit pumped up?! That's a speed metal version, tempowise. Also note the lack of pedalboards on stage. Not even one stompbox. Todays bands they all have a pedalboard the size of a childrens coffin, full of FX.
Yes, their drummer seems to be frequently way faster on the stage than in the studio... Adrenaline? Anyway, they're so great, that then can play in almost any tempo.... Sometimes it works, sometimes less so.
A Les Paul (even a good copy), Ibanez TubeScreamer,Boss DM2 echo and a Boss BF2 Flanger is pretty much what any hard rock guitarist needs to have on board.(flanger optional).
Do me a favour. Sit back and restart this clip and imagine this appearing a T in the park. HEH HEH HEH GOD bless NOD,DAVE ,JIM and DON forever. They annoyed a helluva lot of people but they were so very very loud live. I used to love watching the non believers cringe when they cranked it up. Bless them and each and every Slade nut in the world.
Growing up school you were either in the Sweet camp or the Slade one. I was i the Sweet one. Move on a few years to Donnington AC/DC were headlining along witb Whitsnake, Blue Oyster Cult and a number of others. 2nd or 3rd band on during the day Slade. Not looking forward to this my mate said. They were amazing so good i fact we went to see them ag Newcastle City Hall a Christmas gig the will never be forgotten. Go listen to Slade on Stage some if not all comes from that gig. I have seen some of the top bands but Slade were truly fabtastic both I saw them. Great memories shame Noddy packed i when he did
Fantastic footage. Was this before or after Donington that year (81)? I saw them there and they were absolutely brilliant...blew everyone except AC/DC right off the stage! C'mon Noddy & jim, a reunion is waaaayyyy overdue!
The whole beauty of this tune was the Drumming and the tempo of it. I've noticed that there are other comments supporting my sentiment here, that this LIVE version is too fast. Some bands think that they have to create hysteria by playing much faster. Be true to the original recording as the Mighty STATUS QUO do. Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters destroys their songs by yelling and screaming.
Blah, rock should be played however the hell the poeople playing it want to play it, and anyone who doesn't like it can fuck off. It's not Bach ffs. Pandering to people who think it always has to sound like their record is what pop is all about, not rock. As soon as rock became safe and comfortable and predictable, it died.
@@apm763 I know this isn't Reading, just saying.... Noddy wore black for Reading if memory serves with a bowler hat. I think he had a yellow shirt under the jacket though, it's a long time ago! And Dave also had some yellow themed outfit at Reading.
Noddy Holder has said that his loyalty was to Slade when he turned down the opportunity to replace Bon Scott in AC/DC. Years later, we can wonder a pointless "What if?", but I admit I would have been curious to see Noddy as that guest vocalist a few years ago.
@Suq Madiq Cold Chisel! Cool band, quite different from AC/DC though. They have keyboards and ballads and everything, right? I doubt if Noddy would have felt at home with the Young brothers, being a guitar player himself and also a pop song writer.
i was there too, Slade were brilliant should have been on just before DC, ironic as the young brothers asked Noddy to replace bon scott but turned them down. what a band that would have been, loved to have had them make even just one album.
for nevetsfeen.. The where the fourth band at the festval in row, iwas at the concert and i tell ya they where the best! But they had to hurry up i am afraid that explain the temp! Rrrrrrrrrock on Slade for ever
Seen them in st louis mo in early 70$ dont remember who they opened for but they stole the show . Rocked the house keil autotorium a great place to see a concert!
Slade fans would NEVER have accepted that; nor would many AC-DC fans....and it would have never worked..........Noddy was/is/will forever be Our awesome screeching "Slademaniac"
@@RockinProfessor I disagree. People resisted Brian Johnson at first but he showed them up and they came around to accepting him. And Slade (unfortunately) never really made it in the US and so we never really got to know Noddy at all. It would have worked. ACDC was/is a global band. They were already established in the states. His voice would have meshed well with ACDC. Only thing is knowing what we know now is Noddy would have been burned out by 85 when ACDC was still going strong...
Noddy didn't fit - the voice would have been OK though. Having said that, who would've thought Black Sabbath would continue after Ozzy? Especially with Ronnie James Dio!!!!!! I'd still like to hear Noddy belt out a couple of AC/DC songs - Whole Lotta Rosie would have to be one of 'em.
@@RockinProfessor My family returned to England from Western Australia Xmas 1976. Nobody had heard of AC/DC here then. I used to play Livewire & Can I sit next to you girl at the Western Star youth club in Peterborough. Quite an achievement getting people up & rocking who were still Northern Soulies. I simply couldn't believe it when I read on Teletext that Bon had died. Noddy would've been an awesome Frontman for Acca Dacca.
I loved Slade at 17 . I love Slade at 67. Will forever be one of my top five bands. God bless’em.
I loved Slade at 15 and still do at 65, Dave Hill my silver god, Australia loved Slade, in my top 3 bands. Still know all the words to hits ie, alright everybody, let your hair down, clap your hands and stamp your feet ......Slade rocked our world.

Not a slade fan but noddy holder is one of my favourite rock singers. He really doesn't get enough credit
First band I ever saw in the very early 70s in a small club in the midlands. My ears are still hurting but they were amazing !!
😃👍
LOVED them with 1 year ... and now with my 111 ones, I STILL DO!! Get this, freaks all ova!
My all time fave band. Wonderful song writing from Nod and Jim but also one of the greatest live bands.
Saw them in 1975 at Morris Civic Auditorium South Bend Indiana and it's still top five of all the shows we ever saw.
If you look it up they were always dogged with some bad luck every time they toured America, they should have been huge their.
Saw them at Monsters in 81, one off my bucket list, bloody marvellous!!
Seen these guy's open for Status Quo in Offenbach Germany many moons ago. They put on a wild show, had a good time that night.
Was there 1980 Reading, everyone was wtf Slade but they rocked the place, was singing merry Christmas everybody in August 😅🤣
Slade are the most underrated rock band ever and noddy holder has the best rock voice ever

Slade fan forever🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍🇮🇹
Przy was dorastałem i was uwielbiałem to było to
SAW THEM AT LEEDS TOWN HALL '72, THIN LIZZY WERE SUPPORT. WHAT A NIGHT!!!!!!!!!
a real honest rock band!!!
Слэйд...Супергруппа!!!👍
for nevetsfeen..
The where the fourth band at the festval in row, iwas at the concert and i tell ya they where the best!
But they had to hurry up i am afraid that explain the temp!
Rrrrrrrrrock on Slade for ever
Seen them in st louis mo in early 70$ dont remember who they opened for but they stole the show . Rocked the house keil autotorium a great place to see a concert!
How things would have changed if Nod's accepted the AC/DC invite after Bon's death. He would have been a great replacement to Bon Scott.
Slade fans would NEVER have accepted that; nor would many AC-DC fans....and it would have never worked..........Noddy was/is/will forever be Our awesome screeching "Slademaniac"
@@RockinProfessor I disagree. People resisted Brian Johnson at first but he showed them up and they came around to accepting him. And Slade (unfortunately) never really made it in the US and so we never really got to know Noddy at all. It would have worked. ACDC was/is a global band. They were already established in the states. His voice would have meshed well with ACDC. Only thing is knowing what we know now is Noddy would have been burned out by 85 when ACDC was still going strong...
Noddy didn't fit - the voice would have been OK though. Having said that, who would've thought Black Sabbath would continue after Ozzy? Especially with Ronnie James Dio!!!!!! I'd still like to hear Noddy belt out a couple of AC/DC songs - Whole Lotta Rosie would have to be one of 'em.
Stevie Wright would have been better,the stars just didn't align for that to occur.

My family returned to England from Western Australia Xmas 1976.
Nobody had heard of AC/DC here then.
I used to play Livewire & Can I sit next to you girl at the Western Star youth club in Peterborough.
Quite an achievement getting people up & rocking who were still Northern Soulies.
I simply couldn't believe it when I read on Teletext that Bon had died.
Noddy would've been an awesome Frontman for Acca Dacca.
