I’m a 21 year old black man that grew up on late 2000s hip hop and rnb that loves music so much that he felt like exploring found this and fell in love this is amazing
Had completely forgot about this song until it popped into my head at 2AM this morning. Such a great song, I remember when it was released and saw them perform it live when I was in high school.
I completely forgot about it as well. Just watched Professor of Rock episode on Love Hurts. In the post script bit at the end he mentioned Holiday and played a 5 second clip. My brain went "DING. That song, yeah. I really liked that song. How did I ever forget it?" Immediately ran to find it.
@@canadiandeplorable2087 They used to tour Canada all the time growing up. Seen them a couple times over the years Dan was always soo good live. Such a great band.
I was born in 1962 and turned 62.great tunes. The late 70s 80'S 90's were the best many great memories. Ear buds in blasting that music and locked the world outside. Still here August 2024!!!!
Sad news, Dan McCafferty, former lead singer has passed away at age 76. He died Tuesday, 11/08/2022. He was the soul of Nazareth. RIP and God bless...thank you for the great music.
OMG. I love this song. I have loved it since it first came out on the radio back in the 70's. I never get tired of listening to it. Beautiful chords. Beautiful instrumentations. Thank you Nazareth for always making me feel young again and taking me back to a very happy time in my life.
I’m 47 and the youngest brother of 4 I remember being 7 yrs old while my one brother played this for me he passed last year which leaves only 3 now but what a great song!
On this day(April 30) in 1999, Nazareth drummer Darrell Sweet died of a heart attack as the band arrived for a show in New Albany, Indiana. Love this song. RIP Darrell.
I partied with these guys about the time this song came out at the Holiday inn in La Crosse Wisconsin what a bunch of crazy guys but they were really nice all of them just down to earth
This was one of the first music videos I saw as a kid, even pre-dating MTV. There was some local network affilate that ran an oddball block of programming very early in the morning on the weekends, you had to take what you could get when you didn't have cable!
I’m thrilled to rediscover this old music video that I loved when it was broadcast on Video Concert Hall. I only just now learned that Nazareth was from Scotland! -awesome! My ancestors hail from Scotland.
It is so sad and an injustice that Nazareth never really got their due..you had to see these guys play live in order to really appreciate them,,,,The most underrated Band in Rock history..they should have been in The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame years ago... It's not the same without Dan McCafferty.
Im so lucky i've watched them in live concerts here in Philippines wayback year 1985 during their world tour, it was my greatest unforgetable experienced ever in life.."SNAZ" is the best..
I still remember hearing this one on the bus headed to school (grade 8) loved it from the first time I heard it even know I couldn't make out all the lyrics...sang the line over and over "momma please no more face lifts I just don't know which one you is " throughout science class...the voice is the band and in many cases over powers the music/backing vocals...love it:)))
Same here, Mick! 8th Grade, 1980 - bus to and fro school. Used to hear this and Mott's "All The Young Dudes" AND could not make out the lyrics either, LOL!
Nowadays popular music , rock and music in general is dead ... everything is plastic , generic ,lyrics made with 3 words and the singers are so useless they have to use autotune .. and nobody plays an instrument....
R.I.H.(eaven), Danny Mac (Dan McCafferty)!!!!! This song ("Holiday") is my fave from Nazareth. It's got that "bluesy backbeat" that Rock & Roll's based on.
Así es fue un grande entre los grandes , Manny Charlton , su verdadero nombre era Manuel y nació en la Línea de la Concepción al sur de España un saludo desde España
Talent. Just good, old-fashioned rocking with cracking musicians and McCafferty's distinctive vocals. God, to go back to 1980 and be driving at night between Sherman, Texas and Ada, Oklahoma and the Zoo is playing the best music in the world. Thanks so much for putting this one up!!🥰
As soon as that quarter went in, my friends and I were psyched knowing the video was about to start on MTV. If you had MTV from the start in 1981, you saw this video constantly. Can’t believe it only hit #87 on the singles charts!

R.I.P Mr. Dan McCafferty! You’re a legendary singer with a one in a million voice. You will be sadly missed.
Another one down. God bless 🙏

Oh, that´s sad. Thank you for the info, I didn´t know. He died on my birthday...
Killer solo from Zal Cleminson. Always one of my favorite players.
❤❤so true. Billy nailed it live as well. Great band
Zal's work with Alex Harvey was, how to describe, oh yes, Sensational!
RIP Dan. You will be sorely missed.

I've always loved classic rock music, Nazareth has been one of my favorites since late 70's, they're loved more than it's known. God bless Dan*
RIP Dan, thanks for all the great music and wonderful vocal performances.
Sad to hear the news today. RIP Dan McCafferty and thank you for the music. Your powerful and unmistakable voice will never be forgotten.
😢
Since I heard it at 8 yrs old until now at 50+ I still love this F’n song! Love This Song!!!!!
Travel well Dan McCafferty. You inspired my musical journey. As soon as I heard the news of your passing I played this tune (over and over).
Brilliant song and fabulous band .Classic!

80s
@coogan8825Yes, it says 1980 in the title of this video! 👌
Perfect 80's crossover. Pop rock yet still had soul, grit and great lyrics.
Why wasn't it a hit in the States? Like Thin Lizzy , injustice.
Nazareth & Thin Lizzy .
Overlooked( in the States) Celtic legends!
Nazareth is one of the greatest bands in the World. Totally underated.
I hear you brother 👍
I agree. so underated!
@@pis1ca Mamma mamma *PLZ* !!! heh
I’m 47 and the youngest brother of 4 I remember being 7 yrs old while my one brother played this for me he passed last year which leaves only 3 now but what a great song!
Isso e som diverdade.. eternos para sempre.. viva a música diverdade..
On this day(April 30) in 1999, Nazareth drummer Darrell Sweet died of a heart attack as the band arrived for a show in New Albany, Indiana. Love this song. RIP Darrell.
RIP Dan McCaffery
my favourite rock band ever, very underrated rockers.
Haven't heard this song in about 30 years and still know the words to the song.
This song has always ripped!!
Great solo to boot!
This band NEVER got the accolades they deserved for their contributions to hard rock and heavy metal. They were literally years ahead of their time.
First saw this on Video Concert Hall in 1980 when I was 11, loved it then and still love it
1980 ....I wanna get back there . It was incredible.
Underrated song and band
I partied with these guys about the time this song came out at the Holiday inn in La Crosse Wisconsin what a bunch of crazy guys but they were really nice all of them just down to earth
Have you ever partied with a rockstar at the Holiday inn? you are the man!!!
This was one of the first music videos I saw as a kid, even pre-dating MTV. There was some local network affilate that ran an oddball block of programming very early in the morning on the weekends, you had to take what you could get when you didn't have cable!
R I P Dan MC Cafferty, your vocal talent was amazing and unique,,
Nazareth is one of my favorite rock groups.😍
Haven’t heard this in ages. Thanks for posting.
Randomly ran across this song.. brings back so many incredible memories from 40 years ago.. And you know what I was doing then :)
great song please check out Nazareth - Exercises Album Review on my channel
I hadn't seen this in over 30 years. STILL AWESOME.
I’m thrilled to rediscover this old music video that I loved when it was broadcast on Video Concert Hall. I only just now learned that Nazareth was from Scotland! -awesome!
My ancestors hail from Scotland.
Dan, The Best Singer, Forever...❤

I didn't know they continued without dan.

Well, Nazareth is my fav rock n roll band. Times when Dan was there though
Saw them 3x at the Aragon in Chicago...they were awesome!
One of the first videos I watched on MTV ♥️
He sings with heart..simple and rare!! Love !!
A Timeless Masterpiece by a Great Band!
Underrated, yes, in the US. In Europe in the mid to late 70s this band was up there with Black Sabbath and Deep Purple in popularity.
I love Nazareth.. 👍😍
Great how they came back with this song and it was mtv world. You can’t beat good writing and a band who knows what “ the struggle” was
I still remember hearing this one on the bus headed to school (grade 8) loved it from the first time I heard it even know I couldn't make out all the lyrics...sang the line over and over "momma please no more face lifts I just don't know which one you is " throughout science class...the voice is the band and in many cases over powers the music/backing vocals...love it:)))
Dude, I was in 9th grade...you and I along w/other kids would've sung this on the bus! RockOn!
Same here, Mick! 8th Grade, 1980 - bus to and fro school. Used to hear this and Mott's "All The Young Dudes" AND could not make out the lyrics either, LOL!
Sweet, comment I can relate also did the same.
Nothing short of a excellent song 👍
This is good old fashion rock n' roll. Nothin' like it anymore and that's sad.
I was gonna write the same thing... and You've stolen my reflections.
Totally agree love nazereth
without question

Same by me...loved it from day one, even if for others it was a bit too melodic...incredible how fresh it sounds after so many years
Dan a juventude correndo nas veias alegrou muito as gerações dos anos 80 hoje já um homem maduro continua cantando alegrando nossas lembranças
Essa música foi lançada em 1975.
Anos 70, não 80.
I love this song!
why is this song so forgotten. a awesone rock song.
Awesome
Robert Lemuel this is a wicked tune. Makes you want to slide all over your house. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
How can NE-1 forget, "Mamma mamma - *PLZ* "?
It never left me since day 1..been rocking it for decades👌😎🚬💯♐🔥

Love Love Nazareth banda escocesa maravilhosa cada musica e uma surpresa diferente jamais vai ter outras igual!!!!

My all- time favorite Nazareth rocker!!
Бесподобно! Величайше!
Early 80s mtv...love it
Nazareth es imposible de olvidar ,♡♡♡♡♡ larga vida a DAN MCCAFFERTY
Meu Deus que coisa mais linda!
Great Great Great song. What a friggin' hook in the chorus.
Lindos videos e. Musica lindas Amo. Uma lembraça inesquecivel.
Beautiful song.. different now .Born 1960 .. evil world now .. . People wake up ..
How do you not instantly feel better after hearing this song?
F::kin’ aye Jack!
super solid song
“Mama, mama please. No more facelifts. I just don’t know which one you is.”
Love this.
Minha nossa é de tirar o fôlego ! aí aí !
This band my friends is the most underrated rock band ever
@You Tuber You can include Sweet as well
Criminally Underrated...still cannot believe Nazareth is not in The Rock And Roll Hall Of fame
dean 123 now days they are but back in the day they got their dues and lots of air play
@@ronferia7806 Dan's vocals deserved a lot more recognition than they got bearing in mind he was one of a kind
I don't know about MOST underrated, but seriously not taken seriously enough.
RIP Manny Charlton! Great, great guitarist.
Así es fue un grande entre los grandes , Manny Charlton , su verdadero nombre era Manuel y nació en la Línea de la Concepción al sur de España un saludo desde España
I always thought this song should've been a top 10 hit.
Absolutely
That chorus is so filled with sunshine and despair... I love it.
well said.
As an indicator of just how ahead of their time they were....this predates MTV. Very few bands were doing videos at the time.
Awesome,made by people who did it for the love of music,not money...no autotune here!!!!
Dan, canta com alma e coração.
This is the best song this band did. They were so good and underrated.
great song please check out Nazareth - No Mean City Album review on my channel
Love it don't know who my daddy is? Gonna have me a Holiday gotta love Nazareth.......
Rest in peace, Dan.
Remember this video as kid. Was totally fascinated with that video game the guy is playing. Great song tho and great band
Nazareth uma. Grande. Banda. Forever Yes. Portugal 🇵🇹
Dan, and Stuart Adamson, two Scotish national treasures.
Bon Jovi and Brian Adams before they even knew what a stage is.
Thank you for the wonderful music.
Как же Вас не хватает! Хорошо у нас есть ваше великое наследие! Nazareth - бесподобны!!! Люблю Вас!!!
RIP Dan. To me, you were the greatest! 😭♥️🙏
Always love Nazareth, they have always been part of my music collection.
Talent. Just good, old-fashioned rocking with cracking musicians and McCafferty's distinctive vocals. God, to go back to 1980 and be driving at night between Sherman, Texas and Ada, Oklahoma and the Zoo is playing the best music in the world. Thanks so much for putting this one up!!🥰
I don't think this song has ever aged.
Siempre aqui firme con nazareth la mejor banda forever!!
for me its just great to see Zal here - big fan...
RIP, Dan McCafferty.
Brilliant!
Great Song.. 😊👍😍
RIP Dan McCafferty' and Manny Carlton he was a fantastic but underated guitar artist
I Love Zal on guitar!
As soon as that quarter went in, my friends and I were psyched knowing the video was about to start on MTV.
If you had MTV from the start in 1981, you saw this video constantly.
Can’t believe it only hit #87 on the singles charts!
As vezes choro quando vejo nos vídeos e qdo ouço.
Anos Dourados, tempos que não volta mais 😭😭
Nazareth sempre mandando "aquela brasa"! Demais!!!
Long live Nazareth! Rock on Dan!
