Slade - How Does It Feel - Slade In England

First and foremost a big thank you to the TopPop people who managed to keep hold of many of their recordings, made by AVROTROS Broadcasting, while the BBC were wiping videotape, without AVROTROS there would be a much much bigger hole in the list of classic pop performances no longer existing.
This is the second time that I have reworked this footage, once 11 years ago, and now in an extended edited letterbox format.
The original footage was a shortened version of the track and can be found here: • Slade - How Does It Fe...

How Does It Feel was broadcast on 7/3/1975 and featureds the band arguably giving their best performance for a mimed track they ever did, Holder seems untroubled by whatever it was that made him unbelievably bad at miming and all in all this is a mimed performance that brings the gravitas of the track to life, I think it is a wonderful testament to what many Slade fans and music lovers alike consider to be Slade's best ever record, and one that Jim Lea claims, who wrote this originally as the 'first song I ever wrote', that it is his favourite song of the many many that flowed effortlessly from him.
Broadcast date: 07-03-1975

Slade are unique for their unique combination of beautiful song melodies, expressive arrangements and powerful sound. It seems that everything is simple, but at the same time it is absolutely unique!

[@greywolf907]

Absolutely Victor!

[@alangreenley3257]

once again a big thankyou for this clip, slade at their very best, someone must have the 1973 earls court gig which was recorded, and hidden away, i know you have little clips of this, but the whole show would be great,

[@leerobert1975]

Awesome video. Great bit of Slade ❤

Yes the BBC wiping Tapes , to save on cost of replacing them , I was working in Television REcording at that time , I recall thinking , surely thats not on , but being a Junior Technician , I was totallt ignored ; mind you as I recall the 2inch Ampex Video Tapes only ran for 20 mins each , so an Hours Progamme recording used at least 3 tapes for each programm: Mind you the BBC were Recording output or programmes on 16mm Film , 35mm Film plus the NEW Ampex, which Recording medium recorded upon depended upon a Programmes seniority / importance , with Film there was no way of using the Film REcording Medium again but there was with AMPEX Tape : Recall at that time 1960s all we were involved in , TV Colour , AMPEX , production developments , etc etc recordings , szo there was lots of activities all going on , do not recall that Keeping Historical Programmes was even considered at all ; but suppose someone was somewhere : Illicit recording I recall was later on we had the BBC asking publically if anyone had , by chance , got a recording of xzxzxzxz? Luckinlly there were keen persons out there who actulally recorded some TV Programmes themseles , I recall the Early Dr Who series had public followers who regularly recorded 'off air' for their own private collection , glad that them did so !

Thank's for that insight Mike, really interesting to have that 'inside' prspective..cheers..

One of, if not THE finest song ever penned... The single only reached number 15 due to it being strangled as a 3 minute offering and already being in many record buyers collections, in the vastly superior longer version... When Van Gogh painted a masterpiece, he didn't cut the end off to fit it in a smaller frame...The Sound Of Music didn't end half way through the Von Trappe family performing at the Salzburg festival... We're talking about a song of such magnitude... The long version enabled the song to breathe... Being five minutes long do Bohemian Rhapsody no harm...A masterpiece... Thanks David...

[@iangrocock7059]

What can I say David brilliant and the song is awesome Keep on rockin Ian grocock Sheffield

[@greywolf907]

I totally agree, this is one of those tracks that should never be shortened down to fit radio playlists, it's one of the best pop/rock records ever penned, really at the peak of their powers here.....

Thanks David.Of all the brilliant songs by Slade this has to be one of the best. And it isn't even a rocker.

[@greywolf907]

Colin, it really is an all time classic isn't it!? I never tire of listening to the complexity of the arrangement and it really is arguably their finest hour! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! Much appreciated mate...

[@banginman1879]

Easily one of my top three tracks. Everything is perfect. The arrangement, the lyrics, the vocal and now this full length version. Superb bit of editing. 👏 👏 👏 👏
