1975 Was Their Biggest Year, Nazareth's Pete Agnew Looks Back

[@garytrew2766]

I bought hair of the dog on 8track in 75. Great album,I turned 16 that year,and man there was a lot of killer rock and roll that year. I miss that time, we could do anything we wanted to. Thanks John and Shannon for the memories. Still here in Tennessee. 😀😎

[@chuckhutton5087]

The key is that you are still here, in the great Volunteer State of Tennessee!

I was in 7th grade when Nazareth's Hair of the Dog album was the cool record of the moment. Great memories.

Incredible Group.

Gotta love the Scottish accent. John Beaudin -I was born in 1962 in Burnaby BC and like you ,loved Nazareth as they were huge in Canada , did you ever ask how Manny and the band got started? I read Manny's family immigrated from Spain when he was about 14. Thank god they did!! Keep uyp the good work, John Beaudin !!

[@chuckhutton5087]

How great is friggin’ Pete Agnew? This is amazing!!

[@sleuthentertainment5872]

So sad. Dan died today... My favorite singer of my favorite band, one of the best voices of rock, strong and full of energy and charisma; he couldn't give more to the genre. Goddam it, to love music hurts too. Now he's razamanazzing the Heaven

[@Nazman06]

they had other material and albums that kicked ass before and after 75

[@timmothymonaghan5236]

The 70s Nazareth had a lot of Great Records my favorite is expect no mercy n Razamanaz

[@ritchleach864]

Love Nazareth

[@malinwj1167]

Was too young to see Nazareth in their hey-day, but got to see them in 2000 as part of a multiband festival. They were awesome

[@genephillips856]

Great band

[@rickshearer]

What a great idea for a Nazareth member to be interviewed. It never crossed my mind. So, I enjoy this surprise. I was a huge Nazareth fan during that period!

[@8Stickman]

In '75 was 18 the whole year. Razzmanazz from late '73 was my intro to Nazareth.

[@chuckhutton5087]

Man, I love this guy Pete!! What a great , genuine rocker!!! Thanks , John!! Great interview!!! Always loved the song “Hair of the Dog”!!

[@danielnicholls6868]

my first concert in Peterborough Ontario was Nazareth and opening band rush. great memories

[@michaelw.4434]

I was 13 in 86' ,I was visiting my aunt and this album was on,I Loved it so much she gave me her vinyl and it's been a favorite ever since,,Thank you guys, Great interview!

[@dougphillips7194]

One of the best under raided rock bands ever ! Great show as well 🎼🎸

[@MG-jp5ij]

I had that album pinned up on my wall with thumb tacks. lol. Nazareth was/is one of my all time favorite bands. I would have to say "Close enough for Rock and Roll" is my favorite.

[@if6turnedouttobe9]

Hair of the Dog...One of the best albums ever recorded from start to finish...Every song Rockin'...I wore the 8 track out...

[@Narpets2112]

I love Hair of the Dog but love its followup, Close Enough For Rock n' Roll, even more.

[@Kevin-kr5ok]

Hair of the Dog….. That 8-track tape took a beating my son ! On 10 at that too !

[@davestrongman9519]

Hair of the dog riff is so similar to Beatles Day Tripper

[@johnramos4715]

For some reason I like expect no mercy album

[@chuckhutton5087]

If I could give a hundred likes, I would!!!

[@EdDanaGuitar]

I loved "Guilty!" 15 years old I thought I got ripped off on my 8 track.... lol but I had the vinyl with Love Hurts so I got the best of both!

[@CHAUNCEY.GARDNER.]

Saw them blow Aerosmith of the stage 2 times in the late 70's.

[@Actionronnie]

There's a video out there (1982?) of Pete and Dan on the streets of Winnipeg , interviewing some random girls about Xmas lights 😂 Why do you like Winnipeg? We know more people here than anywhere probably, they made us headliners in 1974 booking us for 5 days. It was cold but they paid us well. Probably why they keep coming back to the Peg almost every year.

[@Nazman06]

All KICKASS albums- razamanaz, Rampant, No mean city, Loud and Proud, HOTD, Close enough for rock and roll, Play'n the game. Good albums- 2XS, Expect No Mercy, No Jive, Cinema Not bad- These all gad some great songs on them (and some bad) - The Fool Circle, Big Dogz, Rock and roll telephone, The Newz, Boogaloo,Malice in wonderland Bad- The Catch, sound elixer There are some newer albums that are not bad- not great. They have some good songs and bad The original singer retired in 2015 I thing it was . He got COPD The new singer is Carl Sentence. He also sang for Krokus for awhile. He is good. But no one can sound like Dan McCafferty. They have a new cd coming out soon

[@folginator]

Pete likes talking doesn’t he?😂
