A lifetime ago. It would be a fantastic gift to go back, be there and witness. Even then, baby Glenn’s turn at vocals, just the beginning of being of one of the best one-take, free-styling vocalists on the planet.

I never heard or saw this until now, and I think this was one of the coolest covers I have ever seen by any band. I am 67 , almost 68 so I was 13 when this was recorded, LMAO ! I also has forgotten that Dave Holland was the drummer (Judas Priest ) . How cool !! Thanks for the upload.....

Good footage. The other footage hardly showed Mel Galley...this one does!

Thank you so much for this! Wow.....never thought I'd see such a thing. Imagine having Glenn Hughes in your band and he's the third choice you make for who should sing lead (at least on this song.) I have all of Trapeze's albums so I know that wasn't always the case but still, it was here. Now I wonder what else Johnny Jones did -- he had a good voice and I think, if I'm not mistaken, he sings lead on the great Trapeze song, "Over". Lastly, what's up with the emcee in the club or on the tv show not being able to pronounce their simple name correctly?
