My oh my, Frau Steed, that footage is kick-ass!!! Never seen it before, even a live version of Thanks for the Memory which I never even knew existed!!! Lea was dissatisfied with his own keyboard playing on the studio version (needlessly though me thinks) and wanted a "real keyboarder" to overdub what he thought should be only the guide track, but no "real keyboarder" could replicate his attack so they left his take on.


Also noteworthy for the twin lead solo - a rare thing for Slade even though they did it in their very early days before their commercial success. Wishbone Slade!!!  :mrgreen:

What is that Gibbie that Tom Johnston's playing in China Grove...? not sure I've ever seen that style with a "jazz" depth body...

Just catching up in here...

I think that's an ES-150DCN

My (researching) hero... ;D

Immigrant song cover by Lord Baltimore. No affiliation with Sir Lord Baltimore. SG bass in action. "we are your overlords!"

Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

When and where did you get to see them...? presumably somewhere near Seattle back in the mid seventies...?

 A place called Gold Creek Park in Woodinville, Wa. (Home of Chateau Ste. Michelle wine) inside a small dome structure that might have held 3k peeps.......'75 or76, I don't recall exactly. They were, and still are the loudest band I've ever seen. I was on H's side of the stage, he was wearing red farmer overalls with the legs rolled up, platform boots with cowboy spurs  ;)

The loudest thing I've ever witnessed was definitely Motorhead on the "Motorhead" tour - their "first" tour round a load of smaller provincial venues - Cambridge in my case - they supported  BOC with an earlier lineup but that was not the same... never seen them post Fast Eddie...
Probably my fave Slade gig was during their second coming - a Christmas show at the Hammersmith Odeon (approx 1980) with Noddy resplendant in red suit and beard for a certain song - as a general rule they did not play it and at the bigger shows made the audience do it, even in summer... ;D
When I saw them in '74 at Wembley it was duing the peak of their career, but Wembley was a cavern and they were dots - Home supported them for that gig - NME awards show... great show, but...

Sugarfoot was playing a Mosrite.  Sadly, he passed away a few weeks ago....... :sad:

Can't see your vid here in Germany, but that is not the guitarist  :-\, but the (suitably Jesus-like looking) bassist Les Holroyd who plays the double neck SG!!!  After the unfortunate Hellcat incident, Ken, this is another howler from you, back to the shed, now!!! Good shot of the doubleneck and its bass-half at 1.30, knob positioning make me wonder whether the whole doubleneck was even a lefthand model he turned righty or whether a lefthand bass wass grafted together with a righthand guitar.




EDIT: You are absolved, Ken, you were referring to the Ohio Players, right? Can't open that vid in Krautland either ... Yet I was goose-stepping to conclusions, forgive me!!!

OK, no EB here but it seemed appropriate just the same.
