Brilliant performance, apparently back in the day the Americans couldn't believe a band so full of rhythm and groove, came from Scotland

[@deborahbarnes8377]

Scotish people like to sing.The 70's were about black infulences.like always.

[@deborahbarnes8377]

Ahhh memories ❤❤❤

[@StefanosSoderstrom]

I don't think they can today. Simply brilliant sounds. I love this kind of music.

[@bgilmore62]

In Washington DC, they found their best fans. A 70 percent African American city embraced them and still loves them to this day. One of the more remarkable moments in American musical history.

[@gusmartins3298]

We got over it pretty quickly. Their origin mattered less than their musical brilliance.

[@fenderfetish]

Never seen this clip - such a surprise to see it on Rage!

[@carlosgibb]

Very nice tune!!! It reminds me of Fantasy, by Earth Wind & Fire.

[@stephenchappell7512]

Nice comparison They complement each other I think I'll play them both on my yacht when my numbers come in 🤞

[@derekyoung1710]

Man what a Groove So much talent In this band So much less Talent In the rock and roll hall of fame A joke They are not there😊

[@kennydee9346]

The rock and roll hall fame is totally a joke if the average white band has not been considered

[@jimmyers2528]

Amazing vocals . Alan and Hamish

[@lightoftheworld7493]

Love the footage of the ocean at dusk (3:00), making me somehow nostalgic.

[@cehayes74]

Recorded at the legendary Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas.

[@rogergonzalez7386]

I grew up listening AWB since high school. My best friend introduced me to their music. Always followed AWB since then.

[@jeshun7071]

Great track from their 1979 album No Fret, this Scottish band could do no wrong with their classic brand of Memphis Soul rhythm & Blues music

[@RhondaMcL1]

Timeless music from an amazing Scottish soul band, the best there will ever be. Love this recording from their time in the Bahamas, they look so relaxed and happy, no wonder they sounded so good. From my homeland and I am grateful for their music.

[@GrahamByrne63]

Cool funky sound,they have connections to my city of dundee who have many talented musicians,we now have a walk of fame AWB included on the engraved paving 👌

[@nabuyabrenner5584]

Use to listen to this when I was growing up and it was kind of groovy to me😄👍

[@contourbody]

Full band composition credit for this wonderful song, albeit, nowadays, without the irreplaceable, soulful and wonderful Hamish Stuart. Though Hamish no longer possesses those upper octave chops, the loss of his soulful feel and musicianship on stage, leaves a void unfilled....

[@kameron95]

Hamish can REALLY sing!

[@27freetime]

Scotland....the home of R&B, Alba gu brath...y'allll. Fantastic wee Scottish band and never average

[@jimbojazza5539]

A great and crazy bass line.

[@iandemontfort4276]

I love AWB but never heard this class song before. Happy New Year beautiful people.

[@andyhinds542]

I saw them last night live in Birmingham, UK. They were excellent.

[@nickhorton9427]

Same here. Really hope that wasn't the final farewell

[@ralphmiklic4225]

Love To listen to them. Can't count the wonderful Years I listened to them🙏😎

[@zambotv8150]

Fantastic stuff

[@MarkS.-gg8vf]

Perfect

[@monicadonnelly4991]

So good!

[@GERTee-oe9iz]

Class act,in my opinion the most talented band to come out of Scotland.

[@vaughnmiller4371]

Without question. It's not even debatable. World class.

[@reneangulotrujillo1]

beautiful!

[@judysmith-randle1558]

....yes and absolutely!! I've been a fan since 1976.

[@ralphmiklic4225]

Me too 🙏😎

[@kevinpiziura5673]

Really happy that you have been able to upload this rarity to all of us to now enjoy, haven't seen this since it was transmitted ,wonder if you have the other songs they did on the show which I haven't mentioned.... Thanks again ,had thought I would never see this clip again..😊

[@jairroberto1641]

[@user-km4gm6np6v]

Muito bom.

[@rodneytaylor609]

It's all coming to an end this May 2024.

[@raymondbrown4471]

Outstanding band from Scotland who I saw many times when they toured with Kokomo. I found it disgraceful that a lot of racist black radio stations in America wouldn't play any of The Average White Bands songs because they didn't like the word white being used.Thats a fact.Check out the truth and make your own options.

[@gusmartins3298]

I think it was black radio that prolonged their career long after white radio stopped playing them. So I disagree with you!

[@allansnape416]

I have to confess! I forgot just how good these lads were, sorry lads

[@rodneytaylor609]

The band lost it's authentic sound when Hamish stuart left.

[@tomlehr861]

Feel no fret album?

[@cehayes74]

Yes
