I first heard Nazareth in 1978. I was a teenager. I lived in the USSR and there was an Iron Curtain. Therefore, everything that came to us was contraband! My friends and I immediately fell in love with NAZARETH, and of course I went to NAZARETH concerts as soon as they began to come to us! Thank you Dan, Manny, Darrel !...and R.I.P. ....Thank you Pit!
WOW 🤯, I did not know that he passed away just a few days ago. When 'Hair of the Dog' came out, I turned all of my friends on to Nazareth, who were a new band at the time. It's very sad to see him go. Thank you Dan for Rocking us through all the years. We will miss you, for sure. Godspeed Man. 🕉🙏☮
@@NowSpinningMagazine I got to buy lunch for Manny Charlton right outside of Dallas a few years ago, can't believe they're both gone now , not far apart either, wish I could have bought Dan lunch too. The first time I ever heard them was ' Woke Up This Morning' off of the Razamanazz album. The D. J. in B'ham, Al never would tell who the artist was when he first started to play it, took me months to find out who did the song , was at a friends house one day and he put the tape in and I yelled " Who is that?!!" bought it later that week and their next 5 or 6 albums were preordered even before the release dates. My all time favorite rockers. Thanks for the reply.
One of my big areana concerts I first attened and my ears weren't the same..dressed in an all white satin getup was Dan screaming between songs ..what a voice..Your right In the 1980 when I just started high school everybody was listening to ac dc iron Maiden ozzy zeppelin etc ..we did listen to Nazareth but everybody had that greatest hits album that seemed to satisfy our musical collection only in the 2000 I started to purchase all there albums and have really discovered how really great they are .and was sadden when he had to retire with all his health problems..wanted to see him one more time with nazareth but never got the opportunity R.I.P Dan thank you for the music
Wow. Thank you.sir. That was a very beautiful farewell. I discovered Nazareth in the mid 70's with "Love hurts" and then starting to search their back catalogue as well as the new stuff that was coming out For a few years I wished I were Dan, since he was so cool. !n 1977, living in rural Sweden, punk was sort of a blessing but I stuck with Dan. "No mean city" of 1979 was so brilliant. But so were The Specials, The Jam and Joy Division. I left Nazareth on the boiler until about 1983/1984 when they suddenly decided to visit rural Sweden. Me and my big brother prepared for months, listening to "Its Naz" to get into a Vancouver vibe. On these two evenings, at two different venues, Nazareth showed what star quality means. They simply rocked and gave me some of my childhood back. I stopped listening to new material from Nazareth along with "2xS", but I soarely miss Manny and Dan. And Terry Hall, btw.
Phil i Must thank you for another wonderful tribute! Nazareth meant so much to me there music got me through in life, Dan mccaffertys voice his musicianship was one of a kind. RIP Dan Mccafferty. I Will be spinning some Nazareth today and blasting it as they would say Loud N Proud!!
Music is a gift in your life it gives you that higher trip to anywhere you you want to go god bless the artist for giving us that gift that we may play when we need that lift in life, so let's go somewhere or to some happy time or just enjoy, so it's time to keep spinning that music we love.
Sad to lose both Manny Charlton and now Dan McCafferty in 2022. In my home province of Alberta Canada the Naz outsold the Beatles in the 70s.The soundtrack of our teen years. My first rock concert and first band I really followed and bought each album as they came out. Just want to offer condolences and give thanks for the creative genius of these unique artists. Long live Pete Agnew.
Saw Nazareth for the first time in 76 in the US, they opened for Purple. The next day I went out and bought every one of their albums. CINEMA is my fave Nazareth album. Always will love them ... cheers from Canada
Dan had such a tremendous voice. Of course he could scream to the high heavens, but also be very soulful. "Place In Your Heart" is a prime example. As a general rule I don't get sad over celebrity deaths, but the lads from Nazareth are a big exception. Never knew em but of course I wish I could. RIP Dan, and Manny.
Dan, with his Little Richard/Otis Redding-inspired, raspy soul-screaming, was so influential! Brian Johnson and Axl Rose were inspired to sing like him, along with many other artists after he appeared on the musical landscape in the 1960s. It was a tragedy that The Grammy Awards didn't even mention him and his lead guitarist, co-songwriter, and producer of some material from '68 to '90, Manny Charlton, in the In Memorium segment of the telecast. Rolling Stone highlighted this error in their recent article. It was a great opportunity for surviving members of Deep Purple, AC/DC, and Guns N Roses, and Nazareth to jam together in tribute. RIP Dan and Manny.
Great tribute loved these guys, saw them I. The 70’s in San Antonio, ur spot on , on how it makes us feel about our youth and feelings of our singers. My life was shocked when another Scot passed, Bon Scott. Great show sor
Dan, with his Little Richard/Otis Redding-inspired, raspy soul-screaming, was so influential! Noone sang like him when he started out in the 1960s. Brian Johnson and Axl Rose were inspired to sing like him, along with many other artists. It was a tragedy that The Grammy Awards didn't even mention him and his lead guitarist, co-songwriter, and producer of some material from '68 to '90, Manny Charlton, in the In Memorium segment of the telecast. Rolling Stone highlighted this error in their recent article. It was a great opportunity for surviving members of Deep Purple, AC/DC, and Guns N Roses, and Nazareth to jam together in tribute. RIP Dan and Manny. You will be missed but thankful for all the music that will remain with us and future generations.
Broken Down Angel was one of the first singles I ever bought. It's one of those records that transports me back in time - to early '73 - each time I hear it. Such a perfect single. But all those early 45's were excellent, especially Bad Bad Boy, My White Bicycle, and This Flight Tonight. Dan's passing does indeed, as you mention here, make us think of our own mortality and where we are on this journey. Another piece of our childhood disappears. I was just nine years old when I first heard Nazareth. Fifty years later and I'm still listening. Thank goodness we still have the music. Now Spinning somehow feels like a natural gathering place for fans to share their memories. So, thanks, Phil, for this personal, heartfelt tribute. You have a real talent for this kind of thing. You always treat the artist, their family and friends, and the fans, with great respect. And your passion for the music never fails to shine.
Hi Clive, thank for watching and sharing your memories of this fine band. This is the 19th tribute video I have done on this channel. It is not something I wanted to be good at and at first it never occurred to me to attempt one. As I found my voice and gained confidence I have felt it important to say a few words. Life is fragile, fleeting even, but music and creativity is what sets us apart and for these artists becomes a lasting legacy to be discovered by future generations. Phil
Been into Nazareth since I first heard 'Broken Down Angel' on the radio in 1973, sad day. From Razamanaz to No Mean City they could do no wrong - after that, all their albums were patchy.
Absolutely instantly recognisable voice. Everyone I knew in the early/mid 1970’s loved “ Razamanazz”! Another gigantic voice out of a small man. RIP Dan.
I met Dan on the "Boogaloo" tour. Great guy. Amazing talent. Albums like "Loud And Proud", "Hair Of The Dog", "No Mean City", and "Malice In Wonderland" are essential listening for all hard rock/heavy metal fans. R.I.P. Dan. You will be missed.
Thank you Phil for this beutiful tribute to Dan ❤ Nazareth was a fantastic band.The vocal of Dan and the slide guitar playing by Manny Charlton was so great ❤
Fantastic tribute and video. I was 8 years old when my father bought me Razamanaz and I have been following them ever since. Nazareth has meant so much to me personally and your video captures and tells exactly what I also felt and experienced from Nazareth. Thank you Phil for these well chosen fine words. R.I.P Dan
RIP Dan. I was pre teens in 1975 when I heard my older brother play “Hair of the Dog”, and I have never stop listening to them since. One question I wish I could have ask Dan or Don Everly is “What did the Everly brothers think of Nazareth’s cover of ‘Love Hurt’”?
Hi Phil, i loved this band the first time when n i listened [loud n' proud] my favorite the firsts lp and many more ,for me A great rock band like Faces and Rod Stewart!!
You're welcome it's a pleasure i'msorry but i don't look all your production on time, but one or two days after ,good job for this one [ i am listening [loud 'n' proud] SALVO version,very good version.thanks again Phil, see you 🤗
Great tribute. It was so strange that I was playing Nazareth on Spotify for the first time in months the night before he passed. My favorite album of theirs is "Rampant". May Dan rest in peace. ❤
Tribute between musical legends. Dan with Nazareth and their cover of Joni Mitchell's 'This Flight Tonight', the word is that Joni loved it. RIP Dan, rock and roll heaven has your space reserved.
Great tribute you have done Phil. I remember seeing My White Bicycle on Top Of The Pops. When I think of Dan I also think of Brian Johnson too. Both from the North and on the scene at the same time in the early 70s.
I hope they put out a full box set of all the cd's. They have so many. It would be great if you ranked all the albums from your least favorate to favorate.
They do! Most every album from the first all the way up through, I think, Big Dogz, I bought it a few years ago and paid around 150 bucks for it, you'll be lucky to find it at all but prepare to pay much more than that now. It's actually a heavy (weight wise) box set as it also contains magazines and full size vinyl lps of a couple of their albums, it's well worth what I paid for it to me, you can see it just over his right shoulder in this video also.
Nice tribute as always. Not sure re Cinema and The Fool Circle as the 80's early 90's saw the band becoming a wee bit poppy with those 80's affectations that rock bands suffered from in that period. However was pleasantly surprised when Boogaloo came out as this sounded like the gritter 70's sound which the band followed thereafter. Great band, great vocalist and thank you Dan
Lovely heartfelt tribute ... thank you ... such a great, under-rated, band ... I always have Malice in Wonderland handy as a go to album ... and I echo your comments re S'Naz which is a great live record of a band on fire ... Always a must see gig ... Rest in Peace Dan ... CMcG, Aberdeen, Scotland.
I related a lot to what Phil,says here and I too got into Nazereth via the same 2 songs from Razamanaz vinyl album This flight tonight is still my fav track by the band
Another heartfelt presentation and tribute Phil. You are right- as we age we certainly reflect on our own mortality…keeping a healthy interest in music is truly “brain food” and an antidote. It is always fascinating to think how the great musicians have left such a tremendously influential and positive mark on the world. And people like Peter Green and Roy Buchanan always struggled to accept their purpose. Rock on Dude- your input is so needed in this world today. Cheers!
Hi Bruce, thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Your words are very encouraging in that what I do here is helping others and being a positive influence. Phil :)
RIP Dan McCafferty.
Desncanse em paz 💔😢
