I grew up watching Slade on TV as a glam rock band and had no idea about their skinhead side until at the age of 12 in 1978 I went to an event called The Great British Music Festival at Wembley Arena. I was there to see The Jam who were headlining and Slade were on the bill. In the space of four year they’d gone from being one of the biggest bands in the country to yesterdays men. This was their first appearance in years. I was used to going football so was not unused to hooliganism but their following was next level scary. It was skinheads but not the new revival ones but original older guys in butchers coats, brolleys, bowler hats, spray painted DMs. Basically like Clockwork Orange. All the seats got flattened as a riot ensued and someone got stabbed in the corridors. Luckily when Slade finished they all left but it was terrifying. So whilst Slade might never have been genuine skinheads their following certainly was.

I remember the butcher's coat thing. I got beaten up by some Wolves fans in 1976 and that's how they were dressed. Good times but scary times too. Slade were great though despite their following. Madness had a skinhead following for a while too.

Они отлично выступали на разогреве у LED ZEPPELIN и по сути были клевой командой ср своим стилем и звуком! Помню в Д.К.Ленина мы играли их вещи на танцах ... Далёкий 78год и классный Slade!❤❤❤❤

[@PeterSokol-bl5vz]

Gee..what a great bunch of guys.

[@bburns]

not crazy about the Beatles cover, but glad I stayed for the next song - wow...

[@acbenepe]

amazing video footage

[@Evgeniy-jp9qw]

Интересный момент!!!!!. Спасибо.

[@TimBoykinGuitar]

Looking crisp

[@jfjoubertquebec]

The Beatles cover is excellent. Raw, true, not many people can pull off covering the Beatles without sounding kitschy.

[@SurreyMan0409]

I remember when they appeared on the Radio 1 Roadshow around this time. The DJ shouted to the crowd: ‘Do you like skinheads?!’ And the crowd shouted back ‘No!’ The DJ wasn’t expecting this - he just said ‘Oh, well, here they are anyway - Slade!’ Followed by unenthusiastic cheering. No wonder they changed their image!

[@Algabatz]

Great band

[@simonagree4070]

Damn, they grew their hair out at a superhuman rate!

[@PeteBurns-xv2fz]

It was only when they did the 2nd number noddy's voice came out...and what a great lead singer...the power in his voice is something else 😯

[@makeit2927]

Actually, love this awkward, weirdly sincere, performance! I miss low-fi!

[@АлександрСтафиевских-с5д]

отличное видео начало Slade.

[@johnrobertson8263]

Wow what a relic

[@ДмитрийМихайлов-м4х]

It’s just larva of Slade, pair of years before final transformation.

[@gordhorton2617]

Noddy’s voice has not yet developed into the powerhouse it became.

[@DaveInBridport]

Dexys, the early years

[@АндрейТарасов-в7к]

Становление Великих!

[@МиколаБатура-о9ю]

👍WOW!😂

[@dedavalera952]

Смешно, наша группа выступала чуть позже, но так же заставляли вначале исполнять песни советских композиторов. А потом рубили рок!!! Здесь тоже самое: обязательная Martha My Dear, сыгранная без души, зато потом реальный SLADE!!!

[@sergeysergienko4901]

Так же 😂❤

[@robertthornton9850]

Vintage stuff.

[@darylcumming7119]

Wow.

[@68blues]

Dave Hill….lol.

[@letsbeavenue]

He looked better then lol

[@igor18101]

Не узнать!?вот они какими были !!!

[@simonagree4070]

Judging by the comments, Vladimir Putin's favorite band.

[@glengamble526]

They were never an ‘authentic’ skin head band, though. They merely did is a career move and for attention, as the SH movement was hot at the time. I’m glad they eventually saw the light and dropped that nonsense.

[@GeeCeeWU]

I think the fans saw through it.

[@MariaalbertinaEscateGomez]

Parecen un grupo de indie rock.

[@marksmith7789]

Were they still Ambrose Slade as this was early 1969? I thought it was later in the year they dropped the "Ambrose".

[@simonmason8582]

Just says "Slade" on the bass drum.

[@infadeldog13]

Sounds like ELO.

[@ОлегКуданович]

Чес Чендлер уговорил их оболваниться в 69 г.

[@runnercorse3531]

ils avaient alors un meilleur look que par la suite : cheveux longs, vêtements stupides à paillettes, bottes surcompensées...

[@robertrobertsakarogerslemer]

monta a sua banda e vista as roupas que você gosta e não amola!

[@misterbonzoid5623]

Ha ha 'overcompensated boots'.

[@olegmakarov7877]

So guys were proto-punks

[@roboi2241]

If only Slade had played a proto-punk oi sound to go with the look they'd have been 10 years ahead of their time. Instead they played what sounded like a whimsical Beatles b-side. Shame! Oh just seen, it was a Beatles song, good guess.

[@InFamousProductions]

they are not a skinhead band. they are just working lads . If you got a job back then in a factory or other work type job, you would be expected to dress for working. short hair cuts, jeans and boots. . just regular boys for the time. . if then were skinheads, they would have stayed that way til the end, and where's the docs?

[@digsy2025]

I don't see a single skinhead anywhere here🙄 Great watch though. Cheers.

[@johnanthonycafe2993]

Much prefer these outfits to the clown costumes they adopted later on

[@R2DXU]

Это было смешно!

[@zappasmoustache23]

As I understand it the skinhead look was a management decision to try and make them appeal to the youth of the time, 69 was the year of the skinhead. Thing is the real skins were listening to reggae and soul so not sure why they thought it would work.

[@GlebLevin-qi1zi]

С волосами или без они козыри

[@СергейДерягин-я7в]

И это Slade ??? А почему песню Beatles поют ....? .

[@robertrobertsakarogerslemer]

Eu pedi para eles tocarem para mim!

[@1954Stevied]

Back when Dave Hill actually tried to look like a man.

[@dr.Dron_D]

не не..скинхеды из них херовые,давай с патлами!

[@billmagowan1492]

Terrible choice of song though…….

[@rodwilkins1614]

Horrible group. Bowie, T.Rex, Roxy, Sweet, Quatro, Elton , Stewart etc outshone this lot by a country mile. Gudby to crap.

[@lackof548]

Rubbish.

[@robertrobertsakarogerslemer]

Seu comentário ? Sim, seu comentário bosta!

[@writerpaperback6284]

Martha my dear by Sir Paul McCartney

[@cunninglinguist-hu1dz]

I had no idea Ade Edmonson was once the singer with Slade.
