First saw them in 1973 in Edinburgh as the support for Slade. Went in a Slade fan came out a SAHB fan. I still am and saw them many times. Shook Alex's hand.

[@dannygray-mi3xn]

They really were sensational. My mum says seeing them play "Faith Healer" for the first time, at Reading festival in 1973, was magical. How annoying are these middle class English music critics though?

It's crazy that 50 years on, the rest of the world (counting myself) is finally catching up to how freaking original and freaking creative these Scots were! That they were doing cabaret, theater, country, blues, choreography and cover songs with Glaswegian vocals! Bloody brilliant!

[@williamsomerville-b6r]

I saw the band when they were "Tear Gas " before they joined forces with Alex. They used to play at Buckhaven Miners Welfare on the occasional Sunday. I was an apprentice at the time and am now a young 72. Happy memories never got to see SAHB as I was married and had a mortgage so going to concerts was frowned upon for a few years.

indeed - crazy connection but i think they would be Kubrick's favorite band as well - never saw them live, sadly they didn't get the world wide tour promotion they deserved - but a couple of friends who did thought it hilarious that a band could sing about std's and have the girls laughing and cheering along

[@skipthompson2290]

I went to see Jethro Tull on thie 1975 War Child tour. They had this band opening for them. The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. So, when they came on. They grabbed my attention BIG TIME. They started with the Faith Healer. And they just totally blew me away. And just a few days later. I went to the record store( remember those). And i saw The Sensational Alex Harvey Band Live album. I scooped it up. And went home and played. It eas pretty must the same show I saw. POWERFUL STUFF.And, as they say the rest his history. I've collected every SHAB album , CD I can get my hands on. Plenty of good live Bootlegs out there. And one of my favorite songs by the SHAB is Sergeant Fury. Threading part just rocks with the girls doing the back up vocals. All Hail, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band 💪❤️💪

[@ralphlenz]

Good pick … Sgt Fury love that dry hard recording , very punchy Man In The Jar , Weights Made of Lead many great songs Whalers , Mafia , Soldier , Nervous , Shakin’ , Wake Up , Rock Drill , Beastie , Love Story on and on and on , just touching the latter yrs obviously Much Love - Half a century of mesmerizing magic and joy indeed One of The Best 100%

My first gig in the mid 70’s at Trentham Gardens in Staffordshire with The Pat Travers Band as support. The music and spectacle of watching SAHB and the rapport with the crowd was brilliant. The concert was loud raw and at times made your hair stand on end. There are bands l wished l had seen during my teens and twenties but l was so glad to have seen SARB at their best.

[@APTKSU]

One of the great world injustices is that SAHB isn't universally recognized as among THE great rock bands. This doc is an overdue gift; a deserving tribute to the genius of one man, and how his vision led four great talents to the apex of their art. Raw, funny, poignant, and always original. Jesus, I love this band.

[@theclashcalling_]

Zal Cleminson was a huge influence on Killing Joke: for Jaz's on-stage 'Jester' make-up and guitarist Geordie Walker who's a huge SAHB advocate!

[@merlin5476]

And killing joke has used Faith healer as an intro coming on stage and also booids too.

Reading Festival 1974, Friday headline act. Was so excited to see them and still remember it today.

I first saw them at the Kings Hall in Derby 1974 and was totally blown away. They opened with The Faith Healer and wow, I’d never heard or seen anything like it. I was an instant fan that night and ever since.

[@gerrycoogan6544]

I saw them at Celtic Park in Glasgow when they were second bill to The Who in (I think) 1976. By the time The Who came on stage, I was halfway down London Road on my way home. NOTHING could follow SAHB on stage.

[@alanogilvie4504]

Fantastic band, Alex was one of the greatest front men of all time. As a fellow Glaswegian I was as proud as anyone to see a Scottish band at the top. They certainly put on a show, and never disappointed. He was ever so slightly mad which was his biggest asset. A complete original ❤❤

[@JohnMcaulay-gp6nb]

Greetings from Glasgow in Scotland. Saw SAHB 2 nights in a row at the Glasgow Apollo ( they did 3 nights ) & they were indeed sensational. This was the tour you hear on their live album. I've got everything they released, except for Alex's solo album The Mafia Stole My Guitar. I clearly remember seeing in various parts of Glasgow VAMBO RULES spray painted on walls, sometimes with RULES spelled ROOLS. Great days, SENSATIONAL band. By the way, back then, mid 70s, Frank Zappa also known for originality in concert said, " There's only two bands in the world worth seeing live , The Mothers Of Invention and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band." High praise indeed. Richly deserved.

[@gerrycoogan6544]

Wow! I didn't know Zappa had said that but he was definitely right about SAHB!

I'm just a simple rock head from the Phils. , first heard SahB on a BBC concert shown on tv during my adolescent years back in the 70's , Alex & the band have a hypnotic effect on me with their different unconventional sound . I like him more than a fan can ever explain , if ever I'm lucky enough to have met him , I might have followed him to the world's end to savor the mystery just like the plot of the pirates of Caribbean saga .. Thanx Alex for the music , I'm one of those girls & boys who have discovered your magic !

[@gargk999]

Thanks for this - really enjoyed it. Saw SAHB a couple of times in the mid 70s, and they were always worth the admission fee. Roll on to July 1993, and I'm home on holiday from working abroad. I'd got myself a ticket for the Tarlair Music Festival at Macduff on the strength of Jethro Tull and Fish topping the bill and didn't really look down the bill. I got the very pleasant surprise of the Sensational Party Boys - after some initial dissonance - breaking into 'Faith Healer'. "Great," I thought, " nice to hear a SAHB cover." Looking more closely at the stage, I realised that it was basically SAHB themselves, sadly of course, without Alex. A real bonus to what was a great day, and a great setting for Tull's music. One of the best gigs I've been to.

[@davidpovey4677]

Done a gig in Newton Stewart and mentioned Alex Harvey could not believe no one had heard of him I saw my arse !

[@BaronMichaelDeBlone1066]

One of those bands who put some genuine effort in to entertain their audience and after watching this clearly had an even bigger range than I had realised. Hugh was particularly exceptional and gave the biggest contribution to the musical side of the atmosphere. I always find it a bit of a shame that such talent gets its biggest hit with a cover song but that is a reflection of the biz more than the bands. Oh and there was another heavy Scottish band around at the same time: Nazareth (still active btw). I still love them both. One of the better documentaries out there also.

[@lawrenceomond7341]

Nazareth were another great band. I do remember seeing them live with Zal Cleminson in the line up

[@periurban]

Interesting documentary, sadly hampered by the lack of crystal clear footage of SAHB. One point of contention for me was the way the doc dealt with Alex leaving the band and his subsequent health problems. Whilst on-stage Alex took a tumble and injured his back, and it never healed properly. He became a victim of pain killers and alcohol, which is likely what caused his heart attack.

[@smudgersmith2650]

Saw them a few times and, the shows were always brilliant. Alex was a superb frontman and the band were awesome. Someone needs to make a film of Alex's life and get SAHB out to the masses.

[@SpireUtd]

[@teachmeyoda2488]

Saw Alex Harvey at Charlton Football Ground in May 1976, as a 70's rocker in my uni band. What I liked - and still like in music - was the slightly unhinged creativity and theatrical stage presence. SAHB did alot for rougher delivery, telling stories in rock music when most of the top bands were smoothing the whole experience. Thank you Alex.

[@lyndenbrain5781]

Was that "The Who put the boot in tour" ?

[@lawmantheonetrueking3739]

Yes I saw them at Celtic’s Parkhead football ground with The Who as headliners. They were amazing. Little Feat and especially The Outlaws were good. Had gone there to see SAHB and particularly The Who (with Moon) and both bands were tremendous. Alex had the home crowd in his palm so they pushed The Who all the way. Feel privileged to have been there. Vambo Rools.

1973. Mate at college says he’s got two tickets going spare for this Scots band at Brum Town Hall, ‘You’re half-Scot, you’ll understand what they’re singing!’ I persuaded a Scouse mate to come along, very sceptical indeed. End of Show comes Anthem and on comes full Pipe Band ensemble. Imagine Scouser shouting even over the band and Pipes - ‘What the F*** is going on?’ Smiles as wide as The Mersey. Utterly brilliant experience. Sheer theatrical extravagance. John Kennedy 🐝 wouldn’t take off my girlfriend’s black white hooped jersey for rest of Term!

Pure mental! When you watched Alex in concert, part of you thought, "This guy's a psycho!" Another part of you thought, "I fear for this guy - he's not long for this world." Another part of you thought, "I want to be in HIS gang!" One way or another, he was absolutely mesmerising and you couldn't take your eyes off him. He was probably the most charismatic presence I've ever seen in a concert. Definitely a one-off. Totally unique and irreplaceable.

Just absolutely fascinating. The music of SAHB doesn't only grab my ears ... such as Zeppelin, Queen, The Who, Hoople, etc... The way Alex delivered his lyrics grabbed me emotionally as well.

I feel like going down to Chinatown and finding a cheap flight to Glasgow and see exactly where he came from and what influenced him. 🌹 RIP Alex.
