simple comment: music in the 70s was alive - music in the 21st century has the edge of a dead prawn.

Not only having one of the greatest voices in rock, Noddy Holder and the lads from SLADE are one of the greatest UK bands form the 70's - LEGENDS! \m/ A major influence!!

[@tezzrterry7485]

Slade were such a strange mix of hard rock, bovver boy, and glam rock image. Still remember hearing Noddy's voice the first time, we were SHOCKED.

[@BarcombeBoy]

The sexy blond dancer with Nolder Holder is definitely Carolyn Heywood of Dougie Squires Young Generation / Second Generation dancers who largely hosted the ITV TV program this clip is taken from, 2Gs and the Pop People. And here she is inroducing Slade's set. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5jIXq2kl8uBhtk

Brilliant, as an aside, when British girls were slim and attractive, no tattoos or being overweight. Ah, those were the days.

[@williamgregg4005]

One of my regrets in life I never managed to see them live when they were in their prime. Listening to Slade as a teenager in the '70s - it didn't get much better.

[@robharding5345]

man you missed one hell of a live show, take it from me, I saw them on numerous occasions, and no other band came close to these guys,

[@roconnor01]

I was once dragged along to a Slade concert,at Liverpool Stadium in November 1972 much against my will, as I considered myself above their style of 'pop rock'. Well shame on me, as it turned out to be one of the best concerts I'd ever seen,they were brilliant. During the concert, Dave Hill broke his ankle, when he fell off his platform boots during the performance. I can't remember whether he went to hospital to have it put in plaster or whether he carried on. Slade were the headliners, but the show was opened by Suzi Quatro,followed by Think Lizzy.

[@johnflew]

[@ellenr.3409]

☆☆☆SLADE ROCKS☆☆☆ fantastically! One of the legendary "Glamrock music groups". They were huge and extremely successfull in Europe. I was a teenager in the 70´s and might experience the best music tape of all times, as for example: Sweet, T-Rex, MUD, Suzie Q. of course also pink Floyd, Led zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath. Unforgettably - I miss them!

[@bertmaanders6679]

Golden Earring!!! .. ;)

[@ellenr.3409]

And not to forget of course: Golden Earring, The Rubettes and other great music groups. . . .😌

[@robertharrold4214]

ER.. Me too and i love all those bands as well. The same can be said for motorcycles in these eras from Kwacker triples , Lc 350s through blades ,zx7rs, etc plus 1991/2 oldskool rave. This vid is great.

[@davidrogers2104]

I was a teenager back then too and feel a huge connection to all these bands. The music was so damn contagious back then.

[@ellenr.3409]

Robert H. Take Me Back ´Ome. Slade performed this song in 1972? There I still was too young for motorcycles. My motorbike time began middle of the 70th. A subject where I could discuss now for hours. With the Kwacker it concerns a water-cooled Kawa? I believe, at that time it was one quickest in the cbm/m³ class. A cult bike! ☆☆☆ Happy new year 2017!

[@derekeddie7881]

I m only 41 but love rock music from every decade from 50s till now. I wonder if anyone else noticed recently that Slade are having a kind of revival at the moment. I hear their songs on all the rock stations plant rock absolute rock ect. I must heard them 40 times in last week alone on radio. They are also get a lot of videos played on music stations on TV aswell. It just goes to show people out there still appreciate good music and they might be recognising Slade were and still are one of the top rock acts in the world.

[@tjcint]

Love those dancing girls .. they give so much to this performance ...

[@dv4662]

those class mates knew nothing about great music, in particular, Slade style.

[@David-mg1yj]

Love the fact that each member of the band is being shadowed by a dancer dressed the same as him. The poor girl trying to ape Dave's odd dancing definitely got the shot straw.

Back at a time when we wanted and had fun and Slade & the other groups of the time gave us great music. Much better than the crap that’s around today. And the girls were naturally beautiful & didn’t mind us lads whistling at them . They knew it was a compliment. Now you are called sexist. 👍👍

[@harrym421]

[@beverleyr2625]

I think the dance troupe was The Young Generation - they were choreographed by Dougie Squires and included Lesley Judd (who later became a Blue Peter presenter), Nigel Lythgoe (who later produced and judged Pop Idol) and Wei Wei Wong (who became a hostess on The Golden Shot game show) - just a little bit of useless information! 😃

[@taffyterrier8420]

It was the 2G's - not the Young Generation.

[@nordvegfigg7746]

I believe the blonde shadowing Noddy's name is Carolyn Heywood.

[@damien1352]

Thanks for that information. She looks like she is having a blast! She certainly got my attention in the video.

[@toddrobson9228]

Awesome song & tune. If this video doesn't put a huge smile on your face, you should get back in your coffin!!! Slade were one of Britains biggest ever bands who sold millions. Didn't do squat in the U.S. buts that their loss. They influenced lots of U.S. bands though like Kiss, Cheap Trick & the Replacements. In the U.K. they are a national treasure.

[@danielh9252]

It's always been a mystery why they weren't big here in the states. Slade is still very rare to hear on classic rock radio. Even when Quiet Riot covered them they still remained unseen. They're amazing.

[@bryanmclellan8546]

Daniel H No mystery really. The sound was awesome. Holders voice was un-earthly. The guitarist was a clown. Couldn't play to save his life in an era when we were seeing Alvin, Jimi, Jimmy, Jeff, Peter, Eric, Ted etc.The guy in Slade was really to put it nicely, not up to the current standards. To that point, I saw them at Cobo Hall in Detroit maybe 1973?. They got boo'd off the stage.. I was there. It was all because of their guitar player who was a complete ass. Slade is one of my favorite bands of all time but everytime I see that jerk lead guitarist I cringe and I'll wager that's the reason that they never hit it big in the States. IMO.

[@MarkGelderland]

+Bryan Mclellan They sold millions of records, were huge everywhere but the States; who cares. The USA never understood glamrock (Sweet, Slade, Mud, Marc Bolan, etc.), it has nothing to do with Dave Hill.

[@stephengiorgis7072]

I remember them on Midnight Special time to time on Friday Nights on NBC.

[@allendl181]

This has literally everything that's currently missing from 99% of rock music today: FUN and CATCHINESS. I asked this on another Slade post but its relevant here too: when was the last time you saw a band smile as much as Slade does in this video? Outstanding. Music never got any better than this.

[@Cardassiaprime]

Wow, Noddy’s vocals at there very best 👍

[@mandu9520]

This song has such a great groove to it. The guitar lead is just great, simple and easy, but does exactly what it needs to for the song. Second song I can recall (the other being come on feel the noise) where the drummer doesn't really touch the hats and just uses tambourine, crashes and toms/snare. Really gives the song a chugging/pumping feeling though and I think it only enhances the groove. And what can be said of Noddy's vocals. What a peculiar voice he has. I wouldn't even call it pleasant, but man does it cut through a mix like butter and it lends itself to Slade's brand of rabble rousing rebel sound. Great song. My Dads favorite band. Every once in a while I listen to it and remember us blasting down the road in the old camper going fishing, good times.

[@robharding5345]

1971 seems so long ago, I'm 67 as i write this post, and these guys still rock the hell out of my world, KOR you fellow old farts.

[@gilesellis8002]

My 1st LP was "Strange Days "66,

[@Blaa_Boi]

One of the most iconic bands of the 70s. They may have never cracked the USA in the way other British bands did, but they left a legacy, for the metal bands of the 80s, the back to basic punching rock of the 00's. To say they were just a "glam rock" band is disingenuous, they could do the lot. Absolute legends all, with Noddys vocals being among the very best of any artist.

[@johnsweeney8157]

A great song from them especially the guitars sound.

Seeing Noddy with his mirrored top hat blew my mind, his voice is unique, I think someone once described it as a cut throat razor. Watching their old videos & listening to their songs now give me goose bumps, it's like I'm 16 again...Slade were awesome & I'm so thankful they came along when they did, for me they're the best rock band ever, I love the Stones, ACDC, Def Leppard & others but Slade are just it.....thanks Noddy, Jim, Dave & Don.
