Sensational!
*_Never getting to see this band live was my grandpa's biggest regret. He saw many great bands /_* *_artists in the 60s and 70s Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Black Sabath, Captain Beefheart,_* *_etc, just too many to mention, but the Alex Harvey Band was the one that he feels he_*
*_really missed out on ..._*
A band like no other. Brilliant!
It's 1974 and there are at least a few people in that audience starting to trip and questioning if a SAHB concert was really the best place to drop acid.
Zal was such an underrated guitarist.
Who's underrating him???
I always thought he was a bit of a clown
Guthrie Govan rates him highly.
Bollocks. Not underated at all. He is not widely known about but that's all.
I've never heard anyone underrating him.
They were one of a kind what a great band...
They were truly sensational and unique. Thank God how lucky we are to have these brilliant recordings.
I heard the album Next... when it came out in 73 and was mesmerised. That and The Impossible Dream still remain favourites all these years later. Such a shame we lost Alex so long ago.
Don’t see talent like this anymore.
One of the Greatest live bands I ever witnessed. Truly brilliant Ok
My Band supported them at Ayr Pavilion and he was i can assure you "Different" my claim to fame I met a "God"
Me too @
What was so great about them?
@@nathandodge665в самобытности и не повторимости!!!☝️
@@user-br7hg4wk9q whatever that means...,.
Still gets me every time.
Just love it, love it, love it ... a crazy mish mash of theatre, comedy and serious kick ass rock toooons.
My fav live band, hands down. Saw them 3 times with Alex, 3 without.
Really great nights out 😊
1978 Reading Rock 🤘 Festival I've seen Uriah Heep, Sexpistols, and Yes it was dirt English Weather we leeve 2. Day and lost to see SAHB and Arrowsmith 20:20
Brilliant band. So underrated, seen back in 74. Pure theatre
Here we are in 2023 and the majority of bands today have No Originality...
Thx ALEX HARVEY !!😎🤘
Alex Songs let me feel better
Not entirely true, however I agree, most music anymore is mass produced for the masses...
SAHB were a genuine one-off. Top top live band.
Saw then open for Jethro Tull on the WarChild tour - blew my 15yo mind
Absolutely brilliant band,theatre, music humour.They always put on a great show,loved them!!
I saw them 3 time's. And yes, they were Sensational!
Me too. Once without Alex and they were bloody brilliant every time.
Man i miss the Friday rock show,never missed it as a kid.RIP Tommy Vance and the amazing Ted Mcenna.
I loved watching Zal with his faces and his strutting.
We can all see where Gene Simmons got his ideas and moves!
Classic 70s rock. It couldn't be any better!
I saw them only once in 74 or 75 and this brought all those memories back. Alex's theatrics, Zal the clown and the weird legs apart bassist in his blue suit and cod piece.
For the Framed number Alex produced what looked like a flick knife but actually had a hair comb instead of a blade.
The weird bass player was Chris Glenn who later played with Michael Schenker!
I've had a love affair with this band all my life (now 66). The Hot City Symphony just gets better and better as I age. One of the best live bands I've ever seen
❤
Could you ever imagine Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Cheap Trick, and Sparks together on one tour?? The eccentricities and talent would be off the chain!!
my favourite all time live band...
SAHB had everything, musically and visually interesting, entertaining and enjoyable, great talent and lyrical content and they fucken rocked. Nothing comes close to this these days even though there are many great bands around.
I’ve been nonstop listening to this band since I found them days ago. The best band ever and Alex is a genius but can’t we please recognize the brilliance of Zal? Omg, I have decades of catching up! TY for this gem!
Totally! One of the most gifted - and the most underrated - guitarists in rock. Hope he knows how much he, and Alex and the rest of SAHB - meant to a lot of us.
I first saw SAHB the same year (74)at Knebworth. Now here I am at 68 years old still smiling from ear to ear!
It's always a pleasure to see and hear Alex & Band doing their best. We miss them!
Hammersmith odeon 75,a night I will never forget,they were brilliant.
I was there too , absolutely amazing , and unforgettable night
SUPERB BAND 🎸🎸
Found these guys today ! Love it ! GO Vambo , I been Frame idda ! Great Stuff !
First time I saw them even only on tv back in '76 I was struck with admiration , they were a breed apart way ahead of the time and entertaining , love them ever since !
The 70s when you could go to see the rock gods at your city hall , and decent sized venues …. And they were fu**ing great….
I saw them open for Slade $4

The first gig I ever went to - on this tour, in this year, at Nottingham University. The profound effect it had on me remains to this very day. Thanks for the memories, boys. Technically the first live band I ever saw were called Strider - the support band on this gig. I went out the next morning and bought their album, too. That's how it worked back then.
Remember being mesmerised by them on the Old Grey Whistle Test. Never saw them live but still regularly lsiten to them
'Give My Compliments to the Chef' on TOGWT was mind blowing.
I bought the double DVD just for their set 🙂
God this is brilliant, miss him.
Every body wanna see them 45 years ago. What a unit..Ted the drummer saved my life many years ago. I was inn monklads ospital in airdrie..too much excess on my behalf. He had a break on she her tour.never forget him.nevver got to tell him thanks for giving the advice and strength to carry to give to my kids ..and now I'm so lucky. Now grandkids.god bless Ted.a true rock and roller.❤ guinien man.aint many superstars with a heart like that❤
Brilliant!
Thank you so much for this wonderful gift🎉 greetings from scotland🎉
Saw them at croydon fairfield hall early seventies, brilliant gig, bought all the albums after that and followed them, fabulous show, Zal Clemson so underrated
I used to wear an identical coat, striped t shirt and jeans in the 70's 😁
Love him, love them
Wow! This is the In Concert that introduced me to SAHB! I haven’t seen it since that night in 1974 when me and my older brother stayed up late to watch it. We were both blown away as we had never seen anything like them. Not long after that I left home for the Navy and was sent to my first duty station on Guam. There, I went to the on base Exchange store, lo and behold, there was their Live album. I was like “No freakin’ way!” I quickly bought it and wore it out. I now have it on CD! Thank you for putting it on YT for me to relive that moment!
Same here. I watched this, was blown away and the next day I went out and found a copy of 'Next'. Couldn't wait 'til they came to town. Saw them the first time at the Whisky (probably in '75). Wow! What a show! They had bagpipe players and some scantily clad women on stage with the band but I couldn't take my eyes off of Cleminson. Then saw them three nights at the Roxy out of a five night run. (One of my photos I shot at the Roxy is in the SAHB book, even though the writer never sent me a copy. Nice guy) Last time was at the Santa Monica Civic. They opened for Stix. Ten minutes or so into their show, people were still screaming for SAHB to return. Great band.
Zal sensacional!!
Gran guitarrista y fuerte personalidad...
sd.mexico..
I said it and I'll say it again...Zal is the pioneer Patron of the Baseball Furies. I like how the Band members constitutionalize their own table persona!!!
Great band!
Saw them mid 70s Slough Assembly Rooms. When you could see great bands playing small venues without having to take out a mortgage for a ticket. One of the great nights of my youth. Can still smell the stale beer wafting up from the worn parquet flooring.
Just sensational saw them 3times awesome
In my teenage years, I'd party on Friday and Saturday nights, but always wanted to get home in time for the late-night showing of In Concert. I saw SAHB on that show, and had no clue about them (nor what to make of them) other than those few tunes - and no internet existed to help me figure it out.
It's fun to look back 50 years and see them now. What a crew!
We never missed him in Manchester in 70s
First time seeing or even hearing of this band, SO GOOD!! Right around the time of other great theatrical " art rock" bands. Gabriel and Genesis, Bowie, T Rex, and The Kinks during the RCA years. They all had wild costumes and makeup to go along with amazing musicianship!
Superbly Superb..
Stunningly Stunning..
Saw them when Davie Bachelor was their singer when they were called Tear Gas. Davie stepped aside to manage them when Alex joined. Even before Alex joined they were great when they played the local dance halls. First heard them 1969 playing rockers from The Beatle's White Album that were noted perfect. Alex brought the theatrical element which he named The Sensational Alex Harvey Band.
SENSATIONAL, IRREVERENTE!!!
NEXT, NEXT, NEXT, NEXT, NEXT.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
This is good, awesome quirky, and different,the guitarist rips ere!
At charlton on the who concert.
What a night to behold.
Loudest concert ever to hit the outdoors,142 DB 🤯.
Faith healer was wooooow.🎸🎸🎸
I love Zal Cleminson's persona next to The Spaceman Ace Frehley.
This is absolute Gold. thanks for posting. Timeless. Classic.
Cheers!!! 🤩🤘🍻
Just read an old interview with my man Robert Smith. He said when he was 14 he was obsessed with Alex Harvey so I had to check him out. As an American I had no idea what he was like. Uh, hes different. I can see where Robert got his vaudevillian flourishes from. Pretty fascinating.
Wonder if the whole show is still in existence? Brilliant!
unique band saw them twice 1975
SAHB est un groupe extraordinaire ne vivant que par lui-même ! - Inimitable ! Beaucoup d'excellentes chansons mais ma préférée est "Anthem".
Saw them live a few times and they were one of my favourite live bands. I always looked forward to a new labum coming out too cos I knew it was going to be brilliant. They always told such great stories through songs.
Roxy Music brought me here. Great!
ENO = mc²
Sensational right enough, they were well named, fellow Glaswegians too
Genius!
So this is where Bon ACDC got it from?
Saw them many a time and was on stage at Hammersmith odeon kicking the wall down wiv Alex i.was 17 and nuts....😂😂
So gonzo ! So real . Wayyyy ahead . Ki k ass band w/ the ultimate front man. To cool and strange to be mainstream . No compromise!!!!
Mitico Alex...
Buon viaggio e grazie!
one of my biggest influences the godfather of Punk
Nobody Knew what they were, they were MAGIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw them live at Leeds venue...the Forde Greene just before they went on tour...
ADORO ESSA BANDA E SOU ROQUEIRO PACAS. MAS ESTES SÃO A MISTURA PERFEITA E BEM PECULIARES. TEATRAL, DIFERENTE E DE BOM GOSTO. O VOCAL É FANTÁSTICO, COM IDENTIDADE MESMO. SÃO TODOS ASTROS MUSICAIS.
Amen
Great band
The best! Track 04. Dance to the music (Sly & The Family S.) !!!
Thanks for the snip-snap notice! I'll take stock and add that to the description soon.
Wow, just seen this, I was there. Seems they cut River of Love out of the broadcast. SAHB, says it all. This was one of the series of shows at the Rainbow recorded from American TV - tickets were free from Capital Radio. Glory days of music
Sahb were truly one of a kind.
Это ахренительно! Очень недооцененная группа.
Very good!!!
The Kensington Hilton Hotels, YAY!!
Great band. Still play the vinyl of The Impossible Dream. It's one of those...gotta listen to the whole album deals, right?
My all time fav band....they could do it all....Vambo still rools.....OK
Killer band !!
❤❤❤Danke ❤❤❤❤❤..fürs Senden ❤❤😂😂😂😂
Genius
Thks ❤!!!
A message from 1975-"It's your planet. Just don't piss in the water supply"
and to think folk pay hard earned cash to watch this
Would have loved to have seen them live. Alex RIP.
Does anyone know if a TV/video recording of a full SAHB concert exists, even if not available here on UA-cam? Was one ever made? Would love to see that!
Zal's solo at 13:50 !!!
Just keep the camera on Zal!
✨⭐⭐⭐⭐✨
I woz there!
These guys opened for Jerthro Tull in Seattle in mid seventies. They were bood off stage mid set
No accounting for Seattle's lousy taste.
Мастерски. 🤩👌👏👏👏
Has this been cut short? I'm sure it was longer than this when 1st Broadcast. Great to see this though 🎸🎸🎸 Vambo Rules
foot on the monitor get involved!!!
Long live Vambo and gang , sorely missed
Saw him in Cleveland ohio at the agora ar 15 henry loconti and dad great youth
