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.
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
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 !!
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!
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.
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.
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...
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
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 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.
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.
@@lordelpus2099 There is no question that Nazareth were a superb outfit…I suppose it’s all down to personal choice….in comparison, SAHB we’re very short lived…but what they produced in a relatively short time was astonishing….and their live shows were a real event…for me …Vambo Rools!😂
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????
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.
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 👍🎸

Just discovered these guys, can't have enough of them. I'm 63.
I saw them at Knebworth 1974 , i was hooked absolutely amazing band ! Zal was brilliant!
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.
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 ua-cam.com/video/YRbfFZnJZYQ/v-deo.html
...couldn't agree more
Умница!
I'd say the 1974 black and white footage from Norway is even better
The best live band I have ever seen. They were trail blazers for the more theatrical act. So entertaining plus brilliant music.
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.
Its an absolute joy watching this---what an incredibly great live band SAHB were.....love them...always will xx
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.
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 ❤
Awesome performance, and great quality. More please!!!!
can't understand why this only has 415 likes. This is a great recording of a great performance
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
One of the greatest bands.
Fantastic Alex Harvey. RIP.

Pure quality! Best live act ever!
This is my memory of the Greens Playhouse in Glasgow, SAHB! I love UA-cam!
Great band when we were teens..still great 35 years later! Fantastic!
What a find !!
Zal Cleminson has always been a presence on stage in his mime face make up...
Thank you for putting this up.....what a find!
Saw them in 1976...awesome!!
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
Saw them live twice in the 70s. They put on a hell of a show and Alex was genuinely both lovable and scary.
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..... 👍
Everybody in the band is great but Zal was the man. Great guitar player, great showman.
Alex was a musical genius. Too bad most of America missed out on that. I was one of his few fans here

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

Saw them in a small club in Cleveland. Warm up was Joan Jet and the Runaways...
Hammersmith odeon 1975,a night never to forget,they were truly great.
"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 🎯 🍻 😎
Sensational Find...WOW
I witnessed Alex live. "Supporting" SLADE (who were great!) in the Empire Pool, Wembley. Never bettered as a theatrical rock giant band.
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 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.
Genius genius genius
The best band ever to come out of Scotland.
Na ah. Primal Scream is.
@@maximvsdread1610 Don't talk pish.
@@williamwallace5857 Just my opinion bruv.
I was there. Superb live band.
One of the All time Greats, Sir Alex Harvey
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
Bloody hell this is amazing live at the Rainbow as shown on u.s tv my copies have all been crap compared to this !
Omg I was too young.Alex was punk before punk
WOW Where is the rest of this In Concert ?
i've still got a bit of that wall from one of the gigs : )
Sensational. One of the best drummers ever, too.
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
Zal Cleminson is one badass guitar player who never got his due.
I was there.... Superb times.
Fantastic quality!
Saw them live in 81 i think, at the mayfair in newcastle, one of my top 3 alltime gigs. alex was such a showman
Nothing like this now oh my god how entertainment has gone down the drain.
3:33 ... see the genius of Alex's stage personae - morphing right before our very eyes.
I mean even if you don't like the music this is pure bloody brilliant entertainment xxxx
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 .
vambo and dance to the music has been around for a good while but not in this quality, lets hope more film surfaces
Super groupe a l'epoque 1970
Brilliant band live, intelligent, humorous,and non p.c,whats not to like!
They really were a one off, fantastic.
Zappa was a fan
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.
"Hey boys and grrls, don't in your water supply. If you know what I mean, say 'YES'."
This is fantastic……Without doubt…Scotland’s greatest ever band!
That's a big call! What about Nazareth?
@@lordelpus2099 There is no question that Nazareth were a superb outfit…I suppose it’s all down to personal choice….in comparison, SAHB we’re very short lived…but what they produced in a relatively short time was astonishing….and their live shows were a real event…for me …Vambo Rools!😂

I saw them live so many times. A brief glimpse into when stuff was Good.
Il est excellent
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

Awesome shit 🤘sounds great
Thank god, no one has used that word Underrated!
You did !
Brilliant!
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
best band ever. no one comes close.
Amazing!!!
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.
I saw Alex supporting Slade, who were fucking rock heavyweights, at Earl's Court. SAHB tore them apart.....
We'll all meet up some day, where ever it may be. 🥂
Rest in peace my friend.
Fantastic xx
If you're gonna bill yourselves as "Sensational" you need balls of steel and also, to DELIVER - absolutely no problem here, then...
Love it . Great
Hey, does the rest of this programme exist? Would love to see it on YT..
I have all.their cds. It took me 5 years to get them.all
Sensational they were ,Alex was a one off ,unique and gone too soon 😢 Alexander the Great 👍
Magnificent...
Thank You Kensington Hilton

what can be said? SENSATIONAL
The chipmunk cheeks, I totally lost it lol
RAW POWER... rip Alex.
That technique around 00:27 adding those harmonics, how is it called?
Great tone but above all great great playing!!!
Rock on!!!
If anyone wants to Zals first band it was called Teargas and it is absolutely great
Brilliant
Superb.
Thoroughly entertaining
From London?
Fraken Nutters.. 🔥
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 👍🎸
