Cleveland Agora 1974. I was hooked for life
I was there! WMMS best radio station ever!
This is great for old Alex fans.
I heard that Cleveland, OH bought more Alex Harvey albums than any other city?
Never forgotten...
Thanks you tube/Alex/Friends

The Old Grey Whistle Test recordings of ‘Give My Compliments to the Chef’ and ‘Next’ are beyond belief.
Harvey’s performance had me hooked, lined and sinkered at 13 years old ☺️ I’ve loved them ever since
Wow. As an Aussie - I can see massive influence here for the creation of AC/DC. Bon and the Youngs all being Scottish too.
Having grown up in the same town as Ted and Hugh McKenna (and briefly going out with their cousin as a teenager) , I had the wonderful good fortune of meeting Alex in the Ivanhoe Hotel , after one of his many gigs I went to at The Apollo , Glasgow . He was full of knowledge and advice about the music industry . It was truly a wonderful night . RIP, Alex , Ted , and Hugh 🖤
What a memory, after SAHB broke up Alex reformed a band, the drummer, Paul, played in a band at my 21st birthday, my best mate at the time, Mick, became tour manager and called me to say: " we need a roadie and minder". So off I went on a tour of Germany, Plus gigs in London and back to Germany to Nurnberg. Great times I'll never forget.
I discovered Alex Harvey on the internet as a young man. He was performing with his rock band playing a song called I've been Framed at a festival,and it blew me away,big time!!!!😎
There could only ever be one....ALEX HARVEY.....
Alex Harvey & Roky Erickson are the 2 most under-rated rockers of all time. Big up to 'em!
Good ones, check out Vic Chesnutt too, I guess he's not a "rocker" ir you wanna get genre specific, more singer / songwriter, but man his band rocked once in a while. the live version of 'Everything I Say' gets really heavy. And 'Flirted with you all my life' is one of the darkest songs I've ever heard. Also he was in a wheelchair, and still rocked as hard as he could.
Amen
TRUTH
SAHB -they call Iggy the godfather of Punk. Bollocks Alex Harvey was and well supported by the rest of the boys. RIP Alex and long live SAHB
Also RIP: Ted and Hugh.
Stay free. 🍻😎
i love alex harvey but iggy was first. i think he'll be more appreciated in the future. younger people do some serious deep dives for music.. how do you think i found him?
The Ramones invented Punk the pistols in The Clash came after Alex is too classy and talented to be Punk
No…The Godfather of Punk is Brian Eno.
anyway, there’s nothing punk about this
This Dutchy saw them in Glasgow, Apollo in the seventies, great, great and great !
First band I ever saw …live supporting Slade . stoke on trent Victoria hall . My god that was a baptism of fire , then at stoke city ground and trentham gardens …top band
The first SAHB song I heard was "There's no lights on the Christmas tree mother they;re burning big Louie tonight" after that I was hooked. I had seen Tear Gas several times in Buckhaven Miners Welfare in the late 60's probably and knew that they were a good live band but this took them to a different level. Rip Alex you are sorely missed.
I saw them twice and cherish those times and days. Brilliant and unique.
A sad evolution but never to be forgotten. Vambo, Faith Healer, Last of the Teenage Idols,Roman wall Blues.........Next live on.
Vambo was on my sleeveless denim jacket
in studs on m back : )
CLASSIC!
Can't say no more!
Sensational just sums this man up♥️👏👏👏♥️
I saw SAHB open for Jethro Tull,here in Jackson,MS,in 1975. I had never heard of them. I was so impressed and in awe,that I walked out of the Tull set 3 songs in...SAHB could not be topped in winning the crowd over. Bought the live album he next day.
Me too, but saw them with Tull in Mobile. And same here…also had never even heard of them prior. What a great show! Went right out after that and bought the album “Tomorrow Belongs to Me.” I’m about to turn 67 next month, and still have it in my vinyl collection. 😊
the more I listen to Alex the more I like
Alex was the Real Deal. Vambo Rools Forever!
Talented and braw man; got his good looks from his dad.
Pure quitlity and that's just Ted's cool drum skills!!
RIP Ted, Hugh and Alex.
Stay free. 🍻😎
i grew up hearing my dad tell me a story how he played alex harvey in a game of pool in a hotel. i love it. cool documentary.
wow coould i hear more story of this please
the sensational Alex Harvey band Live album was my first intro!
Alex Harvey was a true genius rip
i remember my uncle who was in the alex harvey band showing me a poster from hamburg and it was Alex at the top then gerry and the pacemakers and blah blah and at the bottom were the silver beetles .. ... The beatles to come
it's a shame he's gone... saw them live in NOLA opening for Jethro Tull. great concert.
I’ll never understand why they recorded ‘Delilah’.
Their own songs were phenomenal.
They covered everyone from Tom Jones and Jacques Brel to Alice Cooper. Nothing wrong with that een if your own material is first rate.
Yes I had no problem with the ‘Next’ cover, it was brilliant. Delilah doesn’t have enough substance as a song to warrant Alex Harvey’s attention. Just my opinion of course.
The Faith Healer is my favourite track ever, RIP Alex
legend just bought the Alex Harvey and his soul band LP
Which one ? - There were two .
Probably best talent scotland ever had.
To Maggie Bell;must have.been traumatizing see that young man lose his life on stage
Ive always rated you as a singer,every bit as good as lulu.All the best from portglasgow❤🏴
No shit he had charisma. He was an absolute genius.
Alex was the star, the music was simple and all those got a living off it may not agree.
The frontman and songwriter is pretty much *always* the ‘star’.
Aurthur5432 is spot on! Stayed true to his Scottish heritage! Great band!!
Thank you so much for posting these videos. Absolutely loved it!!!
Yes, thanks very much for the upload! It's great!
Alex was a total one off. I would imagine it was never boring when he was around? RIP legend.
Alex Harvey doesn't need any "Hall of Fame" to justify his fame - anyone who ever saw SAHB knew he was unique and above such trivia! Earl's Court 1973 The Master "supported" Slade. Make no mistake - Slade were a a decent band. But they could never equal SAHB. xxxx
Alex was rocking Hamburg when the Beatles were still going wee-wee in their pants.
'Don't pish in the water supply' - Alex Harvey.
Stay free. 🍻😎
Wee wee and poo poose.
Wee wee on MAMA!!
His eyes were mad as!
THANK YOU ... THANK YOU .. THANK YOU !!!
Brilliant video
The story of an often unknown performer around since Elvis
Never had any idea Alex had a soulband in the sixtys and backup band for the beetles thats awesome!
Thanks for this..takes me back!
Holy shit this is brilliant
I remember these EX.S documentaries but i dont recall this one on Alex. Nice one.
Nice for sharing this,I do like a bit of SAAB!!! Rock on Alex
that was sensational, loved SAHB
still got a bit of the wall he breaks through on the show
less the polystyrene : )
Way cool.....thanks..
My father was from Glasgow and knew Alex Harvey and was a Tommy Steele contest when he won
zal clemenson without makeup is crazy! hes so normal looking
" I was framed...... do you believe me...???
It was obligatory to shout NO! Just for his reaction.! Great stuff, great times.....
Next...?
had no idea he was that much older than me. I would have guessed he was born about 1950. wow
1935 actually . He died the day before what would have been his 47th birthday , on 4th February 1982
@@gordonhume4891 I went to see him performing in Manchester - must have been not long before he died. Small venue and not many there. And no-one seemed to much notice when he died
@@myfairhands
There are many tributes to him in Glasgow , including a large oil painting of him at the side of the stage in the Clutha Bar , a small bust statue , and a memorial bench in The Peoples Palace Museum , and a memorial childrens playground on the site of the house he was born , in Govan. There is also an annual one day festival (SahbRock) , currently in its 14th year , held every October . It's current venue is Ivory Blacks in Glasgow .
What a shame. Will be sadly missed.
my uncle jimmy grimes on the left playing base

Exactly!
Hi Thomas, my uncle is Andy McMaster from the motors, my mum was best friends with jimmy.. back in the 60s , 70s ., good times ,my mums names is Betty McMaster .
Hmmmm. 5:34

After an off-Broadway debut on October 17, 1967, at Joseph Papp's Public Theater and a subsequent run at the Cheetah nightclub from December 1967 through January 1968, the show opened on Broadway in April 1968 and ran for 1,750 performances. Simultaneous productions in cities across the United States and Europe followed shortly thereafter, including a successful London production that ran for 1,997 performances.
It's odd how they jump from Alex supporting The Beatles in Scotland and then Germany, then suddenly jump to 1967. It's 1960 that he opens up for The Beatles (then known by another name) --- that's a 7 year jump in this biography.
The cosmic rough riders, bless them, they're no SAHB ..they have all the charisma of a wet shoe.
Why did they skip Rock Workshop. That was the band Alex was in before SAHB. They released an good album in 1970.
AleX at the top of his game was untouchable.Didn't care much for the fizzled out late 7t's incarnation though.
8:49 Chris Glen has the Zoolander family hair.
Alexandre est beau.
I also play Harveys music to.Canadians...only Torontonians were hip.to what I was doing
Midnight Moses, how does it feel.
Jim Kerr good on your tribute. You couldn’t lace Alex’s shoes though mate.
This sadly starts with Alex in vaudville mode (Delilah).Which was a harbinger of worse times to come and eventually the breakup of the amazing SAHB...Tomorrow Did Belong to him,but sadly for a short while.Could've used a faith healer.Rip in peace.....
I care as much about your opinion as you care about mine. So fuck off.
Stop humping my leg, boy.
Good.See if you can keep your 14 year old mouth shut long enough to fuck off.
After you Dave
A pal of mine Jim condren played bass a few times ( sadly he died 2 weeks ago in southampton
There's a reason the Rock Hall is in Cleveland, however, why Alex Harvey is not in the Rock Hall is a disgrace.
SP M the rock n roll hall of fame is a joke anyway.
"Hea thiss..."
Haha yeah you are right.
F*kcin Legend!!!
top gadgey
I've written a movie based around them.
No link ? 🚀🏴☠️
What a great BIO here he's so underrated it's not even funny
Martin Kraus, of Krausberry, must certainly have been influenced by Alex Harvey.
You can view my orignal music and me playn Harvey you tube my music dif but was born same place as Harvey Scotland..my song first upload called crying to the sun...on you tube
Learn about Alex before punk same time as Elvis toured with Beatles etc!
He was great
‘Elvis toured with Beatles’ ….. ahem
We had wmms 100.7 fm cleveland doing alot to give sahb alot of airplay this was before they became the bone buzzards
Danny Wylie singing Action Strasse, completely de-balled Alex's song. Limpy.
😁
Why is Zal never regarded as one of the Uk's guitar heroes ? 🤔 very unappreciated
Perhaps bc he is scottish ...
🚀🏴☠️
Why would that make a difference?
No talent, but used theatrics to get noticed. 🤣
