if ya can believe it,david was already growing the aforementioned hair out since dude went full-on REBEL in '59. he actually had 18 INCHES OF HAIR LENGTH while performing live gigs onstage by '60. subsequently,sutch beat the whole "long-haired" scene to the punch 5 years prior. 🤣 any footage of those EARLY shows that might still exist should prove INTERESTING...
Absolutely magnificent! This was years before Alice Cooper and his "shock rock" days. And it's easy to see where Dave Vanian of The Damned got his look.
Met him in the early 60's. I was playing in the ballroom of a hotel in Doncaster. He was a guest of the hotel & was very encouraging to my band. He really was a gentleman that night & I have never forgotten his kindness to us. RIP.
Screaming Lord Sutch - Jack The Ripper (live 1964) 1313pm 20.1.22 prince charles' fav band/act... in fact olde charles voted for this kiddie. lol... dunno why... maybe it was a hint re: olde ripper street? anyow; talking of punx... yawwwwwwn... we move on to brainbombs' interpretation (which inspired more songs by said band than a one off novelty composition) and, of course, the horrors' version - which was much more amiable and musically inspiring than the rest... the stigma of the ripper being a fav of mine... the name? monikers are monikers and do in no way count for anything where mass murderers are concerned or where reformatory thinking is concerned...
I am so glad this got filmed. It was a magical time in history for musical expression. Like Alice Cooper said...Vaudeville, horror movies, rock n roll, theatrics are all combined in some way. It saddens me to think of all the people who were lost in the lack of filming. I am grateful for what we have not lost or footage that was destroyed. What a character Lord Sutch was and still is in my heart. He brought the fun od HALLOWEEN to your face! Great job!
2:18, love seeing the two blokes in glasses just staring all nonplussed at Lord Sutch, like "Yeah, awright mate, do your whole scary thing and move on..."
I was in a support band in the 60's, quite a difference touring with Dave as I was 16 -17 at the time. his off stage persona was very different, thankfully lol. RIP Lord Sutch, a true original. Roy Temple
I remember seeing Lord Sutch at Beckenham Baths around 63/64. quite a few teds congregrated at the stage front, that was until he jumped off the stage weilding an axe they all shrunk back in fright. Great stuff ,a great showman with a good band.
Sang live with him on stage at the Club Lafayette Wolverhampton. around 1972-73. He looked around at the audience .Just liked this clip. And pulled me on the stage with him to sing Johnny be Good, Luckily I knew the words. We shared the mike for the whole song .At the end he said give it up for this lad.And tapped my head as he showed me to the edge of the stage.
I love this around Halloween. The girls actually look scared. It is all in good fun and not to be taken seriously. It makes me laugh every time I watch it. Not to be over anaylized for sure.
I saw Dave Sutch a few times at the old Railway Hotel in Wealdstone (he was a local boy). He was never much of a singer really but he was a terrific showman. Touch of old style Music Hall going on there, really. He used to make a point of freaking out the girls in the audience who would scream and back away just like the girls in this audience, but really they loved it. You'd get the odd one who tried playing it cool but you knew that they were shitting themselves as well. He had a never-ending supply of props and effects which he used at unexpected points during his act. He really was a lot of fun on a good night. He's had some pretty well known people working in his backing band (The Savages) over the years.
Girl at 2:02 says hey man you dont scare me. Im sure he saw it. then he quickly turns and does his scream when she thinks hes passed her. Very effective.
I did not know that..saw Jeff in probably 1975 with Jan Hammer at the Philadelphia Spectrum for $7.50...knowing he hung out with Lord Sutch...makes him even cooler than he was
Screaming Lord Such and Alice Cooper now that's a duo for Halloween or any time if the year. Saw Lord Sutch a few times he was a crazy man but very entertaining and enjoyable
Thank you so much. I had never seen him until this. Love the geeky guy at 2:19 trying to look cool and the young lady immediately thereafter who looks as though she fears that she truly will be eviscerated.
@2100Rose Tights came in a year or two after this (1965/66) I remember going into my office at that time and saying to the girls "look at these new things, they are called tights and we can now wear our skirts as short as we like", and we did !! If they couldn't see your nickers when you bent over the skirt/dress was too long!!! As i have said often they were great times and we were all little rebels.
Filmed at the Lotus Club in Forest Gate, London. Used to be above a large furniture shop as I recall. Can you imagine Screaming Lord Sutch performing that same show in a similar venue today? The "Snowflakes" would get him arrested and locked up that's for sure! Fantastic performance from "The Lord" - Some of today's so-called "Performers" should watch this and take note. In terms of politics I can't believe that today's Lord Buckethead wasn't strongly influenced by Screaming Lord Sutch!
That may well have been a young Ritchie Blackmore on guitar; he said in an interview that he played with Lord Such when he was very young, and learned a lot about stage presence.
This Records is fucking magnificent!!! I cant believe!!! I can't believe they played music like this in the 60s!!! he reminds me of KING DIAMOND!!! these are the foundations of world black metal!!!
Once met him in. The 1990s when he was canvessing at elections in kinsley .met him in the farmers club where he was staying.he played a rock n roll concert that went down a storm,and gave me a million pound note that i could redeem when he was prime minister.i still have the note tucked inside an lp of his.he was very nice and talked about the 60s music scene.i asked him if paul nicholas was in his band which he confermed as he is in this clip.A nice man RIP.
Fascinating to see this, as social history. As what was probably the highlight of the show, pretty feeble really. I saw werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's His hair was perfect.
My best friends dad is playing guitar i think.....vic clark original savages guitarist. Im in a band with his two sons lol we are going to cover this in honour of uncle vic :) SMASHED \M/
Я считаю, что это восхитительно, потрясающе и просто непревзойдённое выступление. И становится ясно, откуда черпали вдохновение Элис Купер и Кинг Даймонд, например, тащемта.
Why'd he never win an election? Easily the most sane and competent politician we never had. And at least he's honest about being psychotic, unlike most others.
I'm still trying to figure out if this guy was the first shock rocker or if Screaming Jay Hawkins was first. This guy is damn creepy for his time though.
From Wiki: Hawkins' most successful recording, "I Put a Spell on You" (1956), was selected as one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. According to the AllMusic Guide to the Blues, "Hawkins originally envisioned the tune as a refined ballad." The entire band was intoxicated during a recording session where "Hawkins screamed, grunted, and gurgled his way through the tune with utter drunken abandon." The resulting performance was no ballad but instead a "raw, guttural track" that became his greatest commercial success and reportedly surpassed a million copies in sales, although it failed to make the Billboard pop or R&B charts. The performance was mesmerizing, although Hawkins himself blacked out and was unable to remember the session. Afterward he had to relearn the song from the recorded version

It was 29th September 1964 at the Lotus Club Forest Gate, North London. Me and Carole Smith are in the frount row.
Were you guys scared? It looks like everyone was pretty wierded out or didn't quite know how to react...
Lucky.
Janterrydee I was born on 3, October 1964, I wasn’t there yet. Joking, cheers
Wow that’s wild
For real?
Absolutely magnificent! This was years before Alice Cooper and his "shock rock" days. And it's easy to see where Dave Vanian of The Damned got his look.
Dave Vanian also does a couple ‘evil’ laughs in some damned shows, wonder if he also got that from him
Sutch also influenced Magoo from the Anti-Nowhere League, he's pretty open about that.
Don't forget Marilyn Manson.
@@benhawkins2703 Probably.
Exactly what I was thinking
Met him in the early 60's. I was playing in the ballroom of a hotel in Doncaster. He was a guest of the hotel & was very encouraging to my band. He really was a gentleman that night & I have never forgotten his kindness to us. RIP.
what was your band called?

NEY
@@saintblith I think we were "The Blue Diamonds" We wore blue cummerbunds lol.
I bet you got Jack ripped in your poot hole naw?
Cool..he pre-dates Alice Cooper and David Bowie
This pre-dates all punk rock, metal, and even most Halloween costumes. He is a visionary.
I was thinking that...honestly...i think Alice Cooper was mistaken when he said that Frank Zappa was the original shock rocker.
Yes, I think he was before all, before Cooper, Zappa, Artur Brown...

Technically taken off Alley Oop. Still great though 👌 👍
Amazing.What a showman, what a pioneer.
He was ten years too early. 🏆🇬🇧🏆
The fact around this time he had Joe Meek producing his records just adds to his creepy premise. what a entertainer!
Lord Sutch. W-A-Y ahead of its time.
Agree, people might laugh but he actually was ahead of his time Jack White covered this
W-A-Y ahead of his time
He was a monster looney 😉😁
2:18, love seeing the two blokes in glasses just staring all nonplussed at Lord Sutch, like "Yeah, awright mate, do your whole scary thing and move on..."
Sweet Jesus this is the greatest thing I've ever seen. Ive watched it about over a hundred times now.

Me too, I can't stop watching it either jeer ripper🤣🤣❤💯
A consummate performer and entertainer. Just amazing!

He cut the runway for Alice Cooper and the other rock and roll performance artists in the late 60's and early 70's.
+Bill S. Wonder if Bowie saw him perform?
Funny-I thought the exact same thing.
He stole his look from Alice Cooper? Nah.
@@megadopolisthemagnificent.7936 you got the implication backward.
the dammed as well.
Sutch should have played the lead in A Clockwork Orange, in this outfit/character.
Girl at 2:02 says hey man you dont scare me. Im sure he saw it. then he quickly turns and does his scream when she thinks hes passed her. Very effective.
This guy is fucking crazy and I love it.
I watched him twice in Manchester 1963-4ish at two different venues and both the shows were fabulous
decades ahead of his time! unbelievably awesome!
Always gave out with a good show...well liked and a one-off!! RIP to an entertainer.
It makes my throat sore just listening to him lol
wow love this it is awesome
Just imagine a world where a performance like this was never recorded. Life would be so different
RIP Jeff Beck. He was in this band early on. Wow, crazy stuff for 1964.
I did not know that..saw Jeff in probably 1975 with Jan Hammer at the Philadelphia Spectrum for $7.50...knowing he hung out with Lord Sutch...makes him even cooler than he was
Jeff Beck never played with SLS.
@@lotharroberts5978 He did briefly in 1964 and again in a horrible Sutch album from 1970.
Jeff Beck is dead???
@@thehellyousay paul also
Fantastic ROCK n ROLL song ! 🧡
Saw him in the 80´s in Munich on stage.
He really was a fabulously brave performer...so raw and those kids were genuinely scared!
NEVER GETS OLD
By all accounts a very nice guy. RIP
Man I can’t believe lord Sutch died nearly 20 years ago, much missed loony, he’d still get my vote .
Very interesting that you saw him...way ahead if his time
those girls in the audince look like they are scared to death
they are old ladies now. hard to comprehend.
and having the time of their lives! Perhaps the LAST time of their lives... :O
Yes! Thats TRUE fucking Metal!!! from 1964
Punk rock, not metal.
Not metal, not punk; shock rock.
A man way ahead of his time! Brilliant!
Screaming Lord Such and Alice Cooper now that's a duo for Halloween or any time if the year. Saw Lord Sutch a few times he was a crazy man but very entertaining and enjoyable
🤣EPIC MOMENT: The boy who looks like Milhouse Van Houten is as terrified as if he had swallowed chamomile
2:35 JACK CIRIPA
AWESOME!
Nice British take on Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Frigging awesome, actually. Wish I'd found this earlier.
I love Lord Sutch!
Inspiration for Alice, Ozzy and many other.
Paul Nicholas on piano !!
Lord Sutch was a great laugh live. I saw him twice and wish it was more.
Who is the rest of the band?
Does anybody know???
Absolutely a great talent and sadly missed. RIP.
really did freak them girls out lol
The girls loved being scared.
Instant fan! Like Svengoolie on acid.
You are so right about svengoolie.
Can't stop watching this
CLASSIC. Thanks Ron for posting.
Brilliant sense of theatre.
First goth (?) ever...
No. Screaming Jay Hawkins was before this.
The song has elements of ""Alley Oop'' by the Hollywood Argyles
This is genius
Absolutely great performance !
He was a genius and downright genius ahead of his time.
What a friendly young man! I think the girls in the audience should have invited him to tea!
Dude, those posters were good name drops too.
This is great quality for 1964. It doesn't look like an old recording at all.
Thank you so much. I had never seen him until this. Love the geeky guy at 2:19 trying to look cool and the young lady immediately thereafter who looks as though she fears that she truly will be eviscerated.

Way before it's time .
Still love Alice Cooper but before I saw this I thought he was a rock and roll original.
I love this fellow!!
Carina see on UA-cam at WHO REALLY INVENTED SATANIC METAL?
Brilliant! "An evil Christmas to you all!"
This is brilliant! I only heard of this through a cover by The Sharks, and am so glad that I discovered it!

great video. thanks for posting it, so much.
this tune reminds me of "Alley-Oop" by The Hollywood Argyles -
Whilst watching this, the Ripper must've cackled 10x as much as Sutch did.
Sound like ALLEY OOP by the Hollywood Argyles.
Fascinating to see this, as social history.
As what was probably the highlight of the show, pretty feeble really.

He was just whispered about in Canada --- amazing that this was popular culture in the UK

First wave Black Metal was wild
great stuff
Sounds like Alley Oop by The Hollywood Argyles -1960
Saw them live in Cambridge late 63 or early 64. Great stage act, he would have made a bloody sight better MP than some of the tossers we have now.
I think he was ahead of his time. Someone mentioned Alice cooper you can see the comparison.
Why'd he never win an election? Easily the most sane and competent politician we never had. And at least he's honest about being psychotic, unlike most others.
