Got to see Alex Harvey Band on a number of occasions they were great to watch Live what as happened to the music where did it all go wrong the 60S and 70s was a great time to be on the scene I loved it then and still do..
Used to go to the Sunday folk nights in the Salutation Hotel in Kinross ..pretty sure Rab Noaks Archie Fish and Barbra Dickson all played there,,,great nights
Great episode. Seeing SAHB and Naz made me think of all the amazing vocalists Scotland has produced, i.e. Bon Scott, Dan McCafferty, Alex Harvey, James Dewar (Robin Trower, Stone The Crows), Davey Pattison (Gamma, Robin Trower), Brian Connolly (Sweet), Frankie Miller, Kal Swan (Tytan, Lion), Alex Ligertwood (Santana), Maggie Bell, a.o.
Brilliant show. Dan McCafferty's patter is magic, it was nice to see Blue and Rab Noakes again but in the end Alex totally stole the show. It's just a pity that Gerry Rafferty didn't also feature.
I saw the Alex Harvey Band at the 1979 Glastonbury Fayre! They were brilliant! It’s a shame none of that festival was filmed. Steve Hillage was amazing, as were The Pop Group/The Slits, The Only Ones and Tim Blake’s Crystal Machine.
@@williamwallace5857 Eric Idle sent up Whispering Bob and the OGWT in an episode of 'Rutland Weekend Television'. Patchy, like a lot of Eric's stuff, but some of it is genuinely funny. I think Neil Innes is in there somewhere.
May 30, 1975 Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Give My Compliments To The Chef, Delilah Rab Noakes - Stepping Stone, Turn A Deaf Ear Dan McCafferty - interview Average White Band - Pick Up The Pieces (film) Nazareth - Hair Of The Dog, Guilty (live film) Blue - Red Light Song (promo)
At 31.33 Dan McCafferty says Nazareth used to play the pub the 'Burns Howff'. Well, I was a regular in that pub but way after Nazareth's time. It closed in 1983.
My mate had his pub in Cambridge Ontario Canada, the 'Burns Howff' . Sadly, Norrie passed away a couple of years ago with the subsequent closing of the Howff . It was THE place to play for established bands and up n comers. We also had the Howff friday night fitba team, great times.
One thing for sure about the Alex Harvey Band they were absolutely Sensational.

This show kicks ass; Alex Harvey Band knocked it out of the park. hair Of The Dog.
Mother dear did you hear how they’re teaching me to do the goose step, classic opening line
I remember this OGWT episode. Great trip down memory lane. Thank you from a proud Scot.
the best wee country in the world ,
SAHB, Scotland's greatest rock band ???, I think so. And Nazareth weren't too far behind. Fabulous post many thanks.

Would loved to have seen Alex Harvey band, totally brilliant. Next.

Great to see some footage of Robbie Mcintosh the AWB's original drummer before his tragic early death.
Never seen Robbie playing live.
Presenter gives me shivers
AWB.....such a groove!

Bob is so sweet to let his audience know about the Old Gay Whistle Test homage to him..

Saw many bands at the Howff! The best of them, or at least my favourite of them, were Chou Pahrot!
@@terrypussypower Yeah, saw Chou Pahrot at Kelvingrove Park in the early 80's. My favourite 'Howff' band was Chasar.

Chou Pahrot clips here from The Howf & The Amphora ..... @@williamwallace5857
Same here.
Nazareth simple the best.
I think you mean 'simply'.
Great 'Scottish' episode of the program.
Pick up the pieces, disco classic
Zal had one of the best guitar tones ever!
30:40
Anyone know who the host is?
Bob Harris
@@TheGodsrighthandman whisper
I always thought that Nazareth were Australian for some reason….😬
Bob Harris. The original wokey
Sod off, sleepy, or maybe you’re snorey?
There's that creepy host again.....i can't imagine how he got that job.
“Whispering”Bob Harris, one of the if not best music presenters.
@@Lauriedriver he's friggin creepie
NICE!
