Could you imagine them at Glastonbury? Would a Glastonbury crowd appreciate them , would a Glastonbury crowd have the intelligence to enjoy them , a crowd raised on Kylie and the like , personally I don’t see it
Much love from Greece to all SAHB fans globally! It surprised me to read Americans were generally unaware of him... Cause as a greek I relate him more to the american rnr tradition and mentality. He could be feeling at home on stage with Screaming Jay Hawkins, the bands from CBGB's, Max's, the west coast rockers... Iggy, garageheads, bluesmen, rockabillies, psychobillies, anyone anyone. It is a real shame America missed on him. Nice of you to scavenge more than mainstream. Cheers.
It's wierd to Me that people didn't know about SAHB! Another local band that We all saw countless times, that never got the coverage or recognition They deserved.
@@lesliemackay7853 I was introduced to them by a friend of a friend that traveled 1000 miles away from home. 40 years later ,I have still not meet of even heard of another Canadian that have know of SAHB. I will forever be grateful to my friend Dave for introducing this band to me
@@samspookyrice9058 I've known about them for almost 20 years, once I heard The Faith Healer on a local radio station, I bought the album "Next" and then their first album "Framed". Alex and I treaded on the same ground, The Miami Seaquarium, of course he was long dead when I visited, back in '89 but I read an article about his band performing in Miami at the time, so he went there. Alex was larger than life and burned out too soon, his alcoholism didn't help either. Probably my favorite frontman from that era, there is a book about his life that is worth reading too.
For those who do not think KISS was influenced by this band. Gene stole Chris Glen's stance and at 1:29 of this video Gene may have got the tongue idea. I had front row at Akron Civic Theatre and this will ALWAYS be my all-time favorite concert. SENSATIONAL!!!
"Pure Theatre", before the concept even existed for rock bands , and I am proud to say, saw the band 3x time in the 70's in Green Playhouse/Apollo..Glasgow
Sensational to see this, just as I remember them in their pomp. Seeing the audience all sat down is kinda weird....we always rushed the stage when the lights went down. RIP Alex, Ted...the Band really was 'somethin' else'
@@terrysteward just did a quick sweep of the obits, no details. Just Zal and Chris now...we do still have our memories of the 'Boys' though. What a band...
Ahead of their time in many ways. Just a great combination of individual styles that gelled perfectly. The original Tear Gas band was just waiting for Alex to come along.
This must be 1976. It looks exactly like the show from the UK spring tour. I saw them at Manchester Free Trade Hall. I was 13, and my mind was completely blown. My dad picked me up and was horrified at all the freaks in the audience. I knew from that moment, I wanted to be with the freaks.
Blessed to have seen them four times (not a shabby record for a yank!), and my favorite band of all time. That's why... I am... the Tomahawk Kid! Love these guys!
I was lucky enough to see SAHB live many times in the early 70's, and it was an amazing experience that I will never forget, never equalled since ! Best gig was London Palladium ! But why have "fake canned laughter" & applause at the "funny bits !!
This was from In Concert which aired on ABC that aired every Friday night from 1973 to 1976. Never will forget this performance I was hooked right away.
What a find, remembers me the good old days of real acts and music. Saw them at the Olympia in Paris around 73 I think, and at the Reading festival. Still in love with this fabulous band.
I never got to see my favorite band because my parents would not let me . They said it would rot my brain. I showed them . I bought every lp available by TSAB and played them as loud as I could. Ang that is as far as my story goes because I was Framed. Just joking. My parents were actualy wonderful people and I miss them dearly. From old age. Hell I am pushing 60. But this the best band there ever was. Alex was an genious.
Pure theatre from Alex, excellenty executed with great music from the band. Takes me back to Hammersmith Odeon in the good ol 70's when I first saw them. Brilliant.
I HAVE NEVER,EVER HEARD OF OR SEEN THESE GUY'S..THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS LIVE SHOW... I AM KIND OF IN THAT FRAME OF MIND OF WHAT THE HECK IS THIS THAT I AM SEEING????
He is the white blues Voice so authentic and funny In the 70th i am dancing to his Faith healer and about 50jears later I love his style of Next also He is the rock star and entertainer I love him so 👍🎸
Truely sensational - 45 years ago and still way ahead of the times - there will never be another band like this one.
nobody can equal this band.
Absolutely brilliant. Why has this taken so long to surface and is there any more footage of the concert anywhere?
pure genius.
Pure theatre , excellenty executed with great music from the band. They pulled it off brilliantly
Zal Cleminson has always been a presence on stage in his mime face make up...
Just discovered these guys, can't have enough of them. I'm 63.
Sensational stuff! Nobody has the wit or intelligence to form a band like this these days. Perfect.
Could you imagine them at Glastonbury? Would a Glastonbury crowd appreciate them , would a Glastonbury crowd have the intelligence to enjoy them , a crowd raised on Kylie and the like , personally I don’t see it
This is the nearest thing to actually seeing them live. They were a fantastic live band!
you have this one, black and white , but its a killer th-cam.com/video/YRbfFZnJZYQ/w-d-xo.html
...couldn't agree more
Умница!
I'd say the 1974 black and white footage from Norway is even better
Maybe rock’s greatest showman. Has to be if Robert Smith, Bon Scott and Nick Cave are his fans.
Absolutely, and surrounded by some of the most underrated musicians ever
Awesome performance, and great quality. More please!!!!
Its an absolute joy watching this---what an incredibly great live band SAHB were.....love them...always will xx
If you're gonna bill yourselves as "Sensational" you need balls of steel and also, to DELIVER - absolutely no problem here, then...
Alex was a musical genius. Too bad most of America missed out on that. I was one of his few fans here

I discovered him two years ago. Just brilliant. Always seeking out live footage. Nobody does it like this anymore.

The best live band I have ever seen. They were trail blazers for the more theatrical act. So entertaining plus brilliant music.

The best band ever to come out of Scotland.
can't understand why this only has 415 likes. This is a great recording of a great performance
WOW Where is the rest of this In Concert ?
Fantastic Alex Harvey. RIP.
ACDC The Jack,Bon Scott's inspiration was Alex Harvey you can tell by this song.Listen to The Jack by ACDC notice the similarity.
Zal Cleminson is one badass guitar player who never got his due.
"Pure Theatre", before the concept even existed for rock bands
, and I am proud to say, saw the band 3x time in the 70's in Green Playhouse/Apollo..Glasgow
Me too, JH (Edinburgh and Glasgow). Stay free. R 🎯 🍻 😎
Always thought that Alex would have been the PERFECT Bon Scott replacement RiP both of these amazing front men!
Bon Scott was a lightweight compared to glasgows greatest!
@@anthonylavelle4078 Bon was a huge fan of this band...anyway, both were perfect singers for the bands they were in...your comment is pointless.
See you later
@@davidsandz2186 Alex was Bon Scott's idol
Thank you for putting this up.....what a find!
Sensational to see this, just as I remember them in their pomp. Seeing the audience all sat down is kinda weird....we always rushed the stage when the lights went down. RIP Alex, Ted...the Band really was 'somethin' else'
Sadly now Hugh
Oh bloody hell @@terrysteward I didn't know....more sad news. Wasn't Covid was it?
@@mobythevillan it was 28th Nov,2020,so less than a month ago,after a short Illness,but I don’t know what it was
@@terrysteward just did a quick sweep of the obits, no details. Just Zal and Chris now...we do still have our memories of the 'Boys' though. What a band...
For God's sake, how has this not got more love than this? Greatest rock band Scotland ever produced. Respect to Zal Cleminson. Nice tasche, Tommy.
Amazing stuff,,,Zals solos and playing were a huge influence on me,Also check out Bill Nelson of Be Bop Deluxe !!
Two of the most underrated .
i've still got a bit of that wall from one of the gigs : )
vambo and dance to the music has been around for a good while but not in this quality, lets hope more film surfaces
Ahead of their time in many ways. Just a great combination of individual styles that gelled perfectly. The original Tear Gas band was just waiting for Alex to come along.
What a find !!
Everybody in the band is great but Zal was the man. Great guitar player, great showman.
Bloody hell this is amazing live at the Rainbow as shown on u.s tv my copies have all been crap compared to this !
This must be 1976. It looks exactly like the show from the UK spring tour. I saw them at Manchester Free Trade Hall. I was 13, and my mind was completely blown. My dad picked me up and was horrified at all the freaks in the audience. I knew from that moment, I wanted to be with the freaks.
Pure quality! Best live act ever!
I witnessed Alex live. "Supporting" SLADE (who were great!) in the Empire Pool, Wembley. Never bettered as a theatrical rock giant band.
I saw Alex supporting Slade, who were fucking rock heavyweights, at Earl's Court. SAHB tore them apart.....
Haven't seen this clip before, loved them back in the 1970's. I know a band who pay tribute to them playing Delilah, fabulous ❤
Genius genius genius
One of the greatest bands.
Blessed to have seen them four times (not a shabby record for a yank!), and my favorite band of all time. That's why... I am... the Tomahawk Kid! Love these guys!
Sensational Find...WOW
I was lucky enough to see SAHB live many times in the early 70's, and it was an amazing experience that I will never forget, never equalled since ! Best gig was London Palladium ! But why have "fake canned laughter" & applause at the "funny bits !!
This is my memory of the Greens Playhouse in Glasgow, SAHB! I love TH-cam!
"Hey boys and grrls, don't in your water supply. If you know what I mean, say 'YES'."
I love the way he says "framed" haha
Saw them in a small club in Cleveland. Warm up was Joan Jet and the Runaways...
Timestamp 6' 53": *Don't pish in the water supply.* Stay free, Alex, Ted and Hugh. AKA: F*ck art. Let's Dance. R 💚👈
One of the All time Greats, Sir Alex Harvey
I've loved them, dearly, since -74/75 when I first heard Vambo.
Omg I was too young.Alex was punk before punk
Nothing like this now oh my god how entertainment has gone down the drain.
Hey, does the rest of this programme exist? Would love to see it on YT..
3:33 ... see the genius of Alex's stage personae - morphing right before our very eyes.
This was from In Concert which aired on ABC that aired every Friday night from 1973 to 1976. Never will forget this performance I was hooked right away.
I mean even if you don't like the music this is pure bloody brilliant entertainment xxxx
What a find, remembers me the good old days of real acts and music. Saw them at the Olympia in Paris around 73 I think, and at the Reading festival. Still in love with this fabulous band.
Yeah Reading, Saturday afternoon first time then back to headline with bagpipers! Amazing
Brilliant live band I saw them live first time at the Birmingham Town Hall in 1974 I was still at school at the time
Yep me too..... 👍
Sensational they were ,Alex was a one off ,unique and gone too soon 😢 Alexander the Great 👍
Great band when we were teens..still great 35 years later! Fantastic!
Fantastic quality!
I was there. Superb live band.
I never got to see my favorite band because my parents would not let me . They said it would rot my brain. I showed them . I bought every lp available by TSAB and played them as loud as I could.

Il est excellent
the wall before Pink Floyd?
saw him live twice fuck me he was goood
Awesome shit 🤘sounds great
Yes nice one guys looking forward to more
Rest in peace my friend.
Fantastic! Still my favourite band. But is it just me or has someone added canned laughter to this e.g. 3:41? Doesn't sound right somehow
Amazing!!!
Pure theatre from Alex, excellenty executed with great music from the band. Takes me back to Hammersmith Odeon in the good ol 70's when I first saw them. Brilliant.
Zappa was a fan
Saw them live twice in the 70s. They put on a hell of a show and Alex was genuinely both lovable and scary.
I HAVE NEVER,EVER HEARD OF OR SEEN THESE GUY'S..THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS LIVE SHOW... I AM KIND OF IN THAT FRAME OF MIND OF WHAT THE HECK IS THIS THAT I AM SEEING????
Thank god, no one has used that word Underrated!
You did !
From London?
The fake audience sounds are annoying. Greatest live band I've ever seen.
4:14 ....when the audience didn't need an influencer to have an opinion about one show
They really were a one off, fantastic.
What television program was this for?
We'll all meet up some day, where ever it may be. 🥂
Sensational. One of the best drummers ever, too.
Remember Boys & Girls Vambo Still Rools OK
Super groupe a l'epoque 1970
I was there.... Superb times.
Thank You Kensington Hilton
I have all.their cds. It took me 5 years to get them.all
what can be said? SENSATIONAL
Saw them in 1976...awesome!!
Got to see them twice within a 6 mo.period mid 70s, once opening for Tull (passion play) Foghat maybe the other, FANTASTIC show...Vambo Rulz
RAW POWER... rip Alex.
He is the white blues Voice so authentic and funny
In the 70th i am dancing to his Faith healer and about 50jears later
I love his style of Next also
He is the rock star and entertainer
I love him so 👍🎸
best band ever. no one comes close.
Brilliant!
Thoroughly entertaining
Saw them live in 81 i think, at the mayfair in newcastle, one of my top 3 alltime gigs. alex was such a showman
Hammersmith odeon 1975,a night never to forget,they were truly great.
That´s just cult...
I saw them live so many times. A brief glimpse into when stuff was Good.
Love it . Great
Superb.
