Definitely up there - very very underrated band - Otway and Barrett were up there as live entertainers back in the day too - saw them in London Drury Lane - only concert I’ve been to where 5he audience refused to leave at the end after three encores and lowering the fire curtain - in the end Otway came out and said thanks for your support but ffs go home - got a huge round of applause then we all left but best live band was the Who for sure
my dear late brother Jeff loved him, and we played this at his funeral as we left the cremitorium it was so fitting... Really a Sensational group.Thanks Alex for the music.
Magical. That's performance art at its musical best. What great minds they had and big Zal should definitely get an Oscar for all his acting parts on stage. Facial expressions speak better than words.
@@stargazer6675 yeah, I agree , nothing pretentious with Alex , what you see was what you got , he loved the theatrical side of performing. Pure Genius ☘️
went to Stoke city football ground in 1975 to see Yes and SAHB were on the bill they whipped up the crowd so much Yes never stood a chance most of the crowd were chanting "bring back Alex" while Yes were playing
Extremely popular in the Cleveland area first song I heard from S.A.H.B was Gang Band from my dealer friend with the killer Marantz Stereo system and speakers,it got cranked I know that boy I miss being 19 years old 😎✌️♥️🎸🌈🍺🍻
Best band ever, was lucky to see them a good few times in the 70's. Fast forward to 2019, I caught Zals Sin Dogs a few weeks ago, they were fucking awesome, a force of nature, ZAL you are a rock God!! Catch them while you still can..
Being a fellow Glaswegian I believe I have a duty to spread the wonder of Alex to those that haven’t heard of him. I done a bit when I lived in Birmingham and now I’m down south in Bristol, unfortunately my son was born here but he will be taught about his heritage, hard one though, his mother is Jamaican & a lot younger, his musical influence is gonna be wide & varied, 🏴🇯🇲, that’ll do it 😎
I remember seeing this when it was first broadcast - it made me laugh because I thought the kids there wouldn't have a clue - theyw ould all have been going "What the F**K is this?!" lol I loved it and went out and bought the single
@@nondescripthandle212 I've been a fan since the 70's. and of all things glam too. That's why I don't believe they are glam. and in fact, I've never heard them referred to as glam other than here. I also know that their hard core army of fans in the 70's were rockers, definitely not glam fans
that period between about 72 and 76 there was some unique music and some great bands , but it is a bit forgoten in music history because everone was doing their own thing rather than taking part in some movement,like progressive,psychedelic, punk(all seem to start with P) etc in OZ we had the coloured balls, skyhooks, AC/DC....in the UK there were such bands as SAHB, stackridge, Dr Feelgood ...just unique bands, an interesting period
I hadn't seen this one before! Thanks so much for posting. SAHB never took themselves too seriously, and were never scared to try something different. Fantastic band, brilliant entertainers.
Who are these bloody people that give a thumbs down,if ya don't like it can't you just leave it as that,anyway you are dead now and you were definitely,a performer, you probably were not the nicest geezer to meet on the street,but you were definately a performer.
interesting thing about this is if it was labelled as some experiemental art theatre group most folk would dismiss it as poncey middle class pretention...but because its from a band with a wild and tough image as rock n roll Glasgow lads...its loved. Just shows you what labels do.
Ovaj slager bi mogao da slusam ceo dan. Pokrece me, nekad sam ga pevusio dok sam pravio kristijane na skijanju. Ima "smekerski" ritam.Pokoj ti duse Alex.
Fortunate enough to have witnessed Alex & SAHB in Doncaster 1981 Alex enthralled, entertained, menaced & entranced the crowd. Brilliant show by Sensational Showmen. Every fan remembers when & where they were when sadened by his passing. ¿Did Captain Sensible & 'The Damned' secretly learn from Alex?¿
Had a few drinks with Zal in the Clutha bar and the Scotia bar in Glasgow a few years ago. Chris Glen, Ted Mckenna & Alex Harvey Jnr were there also. great night!!
You have to admit,he had so much stage presence...I dont think Alex will ever be beaten..Fantastic Group..!!!!
Pretty good to
And Zal.
don't see this anymore

Mad as hatters ,beautiful

simply the best
Awesome live band, one of the very best
There was nobody like them, totally original!✌🏻🇬🇧
Nobody like them ... thank God
We have nothing like this now and we are the poorer for it.a true talent oh my god how I miss the 70s
I agree some amazing talent in the 70’s, your right there’s nothing like that now.
Me to.
it was the greatest decade of music of the 20th century I don't think one can argue otherwise.
This band were just fantastic and like no other. Still sounds great forty years later.
Magical. That's performance art at its musical best. What great minds they had and big Zal should definitely get an Oscar for all his acting parts on stage. Facial expressions speak better than words.
Zal isn't a big guy
@@thulsadoom544are you?
Always liked Zal's act on stage ,great facial moves ..
This is genius.
Alex Harvey and the boys, Glasgow holds you dear.
+itsthemoman
Listen to everything they do.
Lots of genius there.
And as a Glasgow bhoy...i love to hear Alex sing in his Glasgow accent.
+Stargazer shit hot
@@stargazer6675 yeah, I agree , nothing pretentious with Alex , what you see was what you got , he loved the theatrical side of performing. Pure Genius ☘️
Alex Harvey....brilliant timing....great artist.
The Sensational Alex Harvey Theatre Company. They always gave a great show.
Madness,fun, great music,Loved them!!!
Saw them in Brighton in the 70s. Probably the best performance of any band I have seen since what a performer !!
Loved them back then and still love them now.
They were brilliant,saw them 3 times ,,,,, nothing like sahb! 😊
seen them many times best stage show ever , never be any one better
Alex Harvey and Tony Ashton the two best and most underrated entertainers/performers ever...
His band members take a lot of credit & were much more than musicians.
Indeed, especially since when they were a band prior to Alex, they were straight hard rock musicians...not actors!
Seen them doing this at the 1975 Xmas shows at the old Apollo my first ever concert magical night wonderful band
I seen them live in the Apollo Glasgow 1976 best gig ive ever been to
Fantastic , nobody do that nowadays ... This man was simply genius .
Written by the great country blues singer Jimmy Rodgers sometime in the 1930s I believe.
Sadly never got to see them live. Bet it was a riot.
My Beloved Sensational Alex Harvey Band, The Greatest Band of All Time.
Zal Cleminson as robot, just great!
Just when you thought he couldn’t get creepier 😳
Absolutely Sensational!!!
Absolutely brilliant. Great band live
went to Stoke city football ground in 1975 to see Yes and SAHB were on the bill they whipped up the crowd so much Yes never stood a chance most of the crowd were chanting "bring back Alex" while Yes were playing
I would too, Yes no……
Such a totally amazing group. Mad love for the first 'real' group I ever did see. Guess I was spoiled rotten. N.E.X.T.
Extremely popular in the Cleveland area first song I heard from S.A.H.B was Gang Band from my dealer friend with the killer Marantz Stereo system and speakers,it got cranked I know that boy I miss being 19 years old 😎✌️♥️🎸🌈🍺🍻
the bestest thing to come out of SCOTLAND for years
Besides HAGGIS!
Best band ever, was lucky to see them a good few times in the 70's.
Fast forward to 2019, I caught Zals Sin Dogs a few weeks ago, they were fucking awesome, a force of nature, ZAL you are a rock God!!
Catch them while you still can..
On street level, on a par with Johnny Thunders' Heartbreakers and Ramones
probably the best performance bands in history..
Genius. Unique then and now.
Biggest regret not seeing them live
Biggest regret seeing them live in the 70's but Alex didn't appear on stage. He was 'ill' ☹️
Another masterpiece. It got taken down and I was missing it. Thanks for re-posting it.
Saw the band at Sunderland Mecca in early 80’s. Legendary
Oh my god this man was so brilliant
Carambas!!
Fue un grupo fantástico!
Muy originales y excelentes músicos.
Zal Climenston es un artista consumado.
Saludos desde México.
A real blast from the past! Thank you so much for uploading and sharing this video! 😃👍🥀
awesome song amazing performance, Alex at his best! r.i.p. we shall miss you.
Also Ted and Hugh, Keith. All the best. R 🍻😎💚
Love the song. Brilliant!
Great band! Obviously, very theatrical. It appears that many artists influenced them and were influenced by them as well. Great stuff!!!
What we call now,
An Arthouse Band?
Alex was a big influence on Bon Scott. And we all know how good Bon was.
My dad loves TSAHB and this use to scare me 😂 he’s 71 now and travelled to leeds today to watch a TSAHB tribute on his own 🙌🏻
Reminds me on Nick Cave's "Murder Ballads". Fantastic Song, brilliant Performance. SAHB made timless Music with some real Masterpieces.
When Nick Cave started out he was very influenced by SAHB.
seen them at reading stole the whole weekend awsome
william partingtonw yeah me too ,great show Alex on the crucifix singing framed,genius!
Being a fellow Glaswegian I believe I have a duty to spread the wonder of Alex to those that haven’t heard of him. I done a bit when I lived in Birmingham and now I’m down south in Bristol, unfortunately my son was born here but he will be taught about his heritage, hard one though, his mother is Jamaican & a lot younger, his musical influence is gonna be wide & varied, 🏴🇯🇲, that’ll do it 😎
Why is it unfortunate that he was born there Glasgow was so great you couldn't wait to get the fuck out ha ha
This is absolutely outstanding never again will this kind of band exist
The best music video ever! ;) Love this!
Brilliant band and one of my biggest regrets was not getting to see them live.
Zal's the man !!
I remember seeing this when it was first broadcast - it made me laugh because I thought the kids there wouldn't have a clue - theyw ould all have been going "What the F**K is this?!" lol
I loved it and went out and bought the single
I will always love You, Alex
One of the diverse bands ever. True entertainers.
One of my favourite songs! Love it Daniel you are great!!❤
Love SAHB. Not sure why they are being referred to as 'glam rock' though. I think they were impossible to categorize.
How about 'Hard Rock Vaudeville'?
Pub rock kabuki ?
Look at them, thats glam
@@nondescripthandle212 I've been a fan since the 70's. and of all things glam too. That's why I don't believe they are glam. and in fact, I've never heard them referred to as glam other than here. I also know that their hard core army of fans in the 70's were rockers, definitely not glam fans
yeah, fuck that its not really glam, just an original creative theatrical rock band
Brilliantly original presentation.
Saw them support slade at Earl’s Court 1973 June ,what a gig .

SAHB never took themselves too seriously, and were never scared to try something different. Fantastic band, brilliant entertainers.
Ahh... what great memories... SAHB was the best.....
Absolutely love this
Alex was a genius
fantastic...unbeatable
Who are these bloody people that give a thumbs down,if ya don't like it can't you just leave it as that,anyway you are dead now and you were definitely,a performer, you probably were not the nicest geezer to meet on the street,but you were definately a performer.
There will never be another. Unique.
Brilliant, nothing else to add.
My mom loved this band.
Brings back memories of lock ins at the 8 ball poolhall above the Scotia bar
As Joni Mitchell sang, don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got till it's gone
Alex and his band were really very good, maybe a touch of madness but a great talent, some of it was theatre. 👍
Alway sensational,always brilliant
Алекс красавец,однозначно..
excellent as always
interesting thing about this is if it was labelled as some experiemental art theatre group most folk would dismiss it as poncey middle class pretention...but because its from a band with a wild and tough image as rock n roll Glasgow lads...its loved. Just shows you what labels do.
Ah, here it is again..thanks for upload..:)
Best live act ever my hero alex

Mesmerising!
Such a massive bunch of tallent.
Knew a Couple of SAHB songs through my dad. Just discovered this and Sgt Fury. Genius
Chris makes a very cute gal!
Absolute CLASS.
That's pure genius is that. Is there a monument to them?
He was fantastic so underated
A truly unique band, brilliant doesn't cover it, Rip Alex
Great Jimmie Rodgers tune
Had a good choice for songs to cover! Who'd think to do a Jacques Brel cover? Nobody.
Magic .simply superb
more theater than glam rock. Cooper did a u.k. tour with Alex,came home and did nightmare album & stageshow
Fortunate enough to have witnessed Alex & SAHB in Doncaster 1981 Alex enthralled, entertained, menaced & entranced the crowd. Brilliant show by Sensational Showmen.

Sensational
Where are today's entertainers?
Bruno Mars! Pffft!
listen this is ffff priceless -...
Brilliant!
What a Great Guy his was !
Got some LP's though, so I can get the feeling....
And a big bottle and big gun so I'll get by ,,,,
Love Zal....
Had a few drinks with Zal in the Clutha bar and the Scotia bar in Glasgow a few years ago. Chris Glen, Ted Mckenna & Alex Harvey Jnr were there also. great night!!
Quality!✌🏻
Awesome!
SAHB. We will never see their like again....
Maravillosos,que gran banda
