THE BEST LIVE BAND EVER

SLADE - JUST A LITTLE BIT

The next part in the SIE video archive sees Slade tackle Magic Sam's standard 'I Just Want A Little Bit' from his 1968 LP 'Black Magic'.

This is a SIE composite edit without Dave Hill's posturing at the end spoiling the feel of the track.

Video Description 

In 1971 Chas Chandler suggested that the next single for the band would be a studio version of their live set finisher, Get Down With It.
Having heard Little Richards 1966 version of this Bobby Marchan song, the band had used it to finish their show with and after a string of singles that did nothing, GDWI bludgeoned it's way into the national and European charts.
Union Square Music is currently engaged with the remastering and reissue of the bands back catalogue, where GDWI can be found in live and studio versions.

Video Description 

Kick Arse version of the Ten Years After anthem 'Hear Me Calling', except it was not an anthem until Slade got a hold of it and used it as their opening number for many years.
This is an outstanding track that is available on the beat club 40th anniversary edition dvd.
It is a classic track from a class band, tight as a dwarf's foreskin Slade were peerless live, as you can hear when you nip out and buy the Union Square Music collection of remastered and reissued Slade CD's........

From the 1972 Paris studio recording transcription disc comes a belting version of Good Golly Miss Molly set to moving pictures to form a SIE composite video...

Reissues and remasters from Union Square Music are one thing but get your teeth into something that won't be coming to a shoppe near you soon!

Video Description  

1981 saw the band riding a new wave of heavy metal induced euphoria following their show stealing slot at the 1980 Reading festival, where they wiped, and I mean wiped the floor with every other band that was there.
They played a short tour of Germany with Reading headliners Whitesnake, during which the band came up with 'Daughters'which is almost 'Fool For Your Lovin'.
From the Slade In England video archive comes the promotional video which has never been broadcast in full and is rarely seen in its entirety...enjoy.

Video Description     DON POWELL ON MEMORY Pt1

Slade drummer Don Powell's 1973 road accident is well documented, as is the resulting short term memory loss.

Video Description 

The opening chords of this Slade anthem have still to be bettered, an absolute Slade classic.
US hair band Quiet Riot scored a major US hit with their version of the track, but the short arsed lead 'singer'....don't know his name, the one with the wig..has since distanced himself from the band and people that gave him his 15 minutes of fame.
Union Square Music are remastering and rereleasing the complete Slade back catalogue and as there are so many crap versions of namby pamby bedwetters Quiet Riots version on youtube, I decided it was time that the real thing made a guest appearance.

Video Description 

The heady success of Reading was short lived and in 1982 the band released Ruby Red as a single and also from the soon to be reissued 'Til Deaf Do Us Part' cd.
This promotional video remains unreleased and unseen..unless you have the unofficial 'One More Time/Through The Years SIE DVD.

Kick Arse version of the Ten Years After anthem 'Hear Me Calling', except it was not an anthem until Slade got a hold of it and used it as their opening number for many years.
This video has been played around with here at SIE to bring it to life a little....I know, I know...
It is a classic track from a class band, tight as a dwarf's foreskin Slade were peerless live, as you can hear when you nip out and buy the Union Square Music collection of remastered and reissued Slade CD's........

Video Description    GUDBUY T JANE

I thought it was time that some of the old footage was given a new lease of life, it makes sense expecially with the bands complete back catalogue being remastered and reissued by Union Square Music.
This footage was filmed during the afternoon sound check at the Rainbow theatre, the audio is from somewhere else!
Union Square Music is currently engaged with the remastering and reissue of the bands back catalogue, where 'Jane' can be found in both live and studio versions.

Video Description 

This is the earliest known footage to exist of the band, one of two tracks performed on the Alane Price show in November of 1969.
It is a pity that neither track was thought worthy enough to feature on the officially sanctioned dvd release of 2005.
This edit is taken from the 'Through the years SIE dvd and features an intro by Noel Gallagher, who has always been a fan of the band and says so every time he is asked.
Union Square Music have released This Beatles cover on the 'Beginnings/Play It Loud' reissued CD.

Video Description  -  WILD WINDS ARE BLOWING  

This is the earliest known footage to exist of the band, one of two tracks performed on the Alane Price show in November of 1969.
It is a pity that neither track was thought worthy enough to feature on the officially sanctioned dvd release of 2005, despite the footage being available.
Wwab was penned by Bob Winsley and Jack Saker and released as a doomed single, it did give the band some tv exposure and this footage is the best that I have managed to find of the track, snippets of crystal clear footage have been used before, most notably on the 'It's Slade' BBC documentary...but not enough yet to attempt a 'new' video.
So for what its worth.....
Union Square Music have released This on the 'Beginnings/Play It Loud' reissued CD.

Video Description  -  LOOK WOT U DUN  

Slade In England once again brings you from the archives a clip of the band miming to LWUD on a French TV show entitled 'Entente Cordial - Special England'
As most things French it was a strange concept and told the story of England using Shakesperean quotes and music of the day, in this show Slade were joined by Gilbert O Sullivan and someone called 'Sheila'
This footage is available, and has been since 1972 from the PARIS : OFFICE NAT. DE RADIODIFFUSION ET TELEVIS. FR (ORTF) and is brought to you here on youtube earlier than anticipated due to unscrupulous abba fan types.
Buy the remastered and reissued cd's from Union Square Music.

Video Description - BURNING IN THE HEAT OF LOVE 

It's 1977 and Slade are nowhere, abandoned by the masses and music press alike,1977 was as Lea describes 'year zero' for the band.
Instead of giving it all up the band went back on the road and slogged their guts out around the small clubs to a dwindling but solid hard core fan base that numbered around 300 souls in the UK.
This clip of film is from German TV show Szene and is brought to you by Slade In England.
The track features on the official Slade anthology 4 cd gift set available from all good record stores now.

Yawn.........

Video Description  - WHEELS AIN'T COMING DOWN 

Slade In England is once again able to smash down convention and from the fab and groovy all singing all dancing Slade In England archives comes this previously unbroadcast promotional video for WACD.
Lack of sales meant that it was never shown on TV, made a one off appearance at a fan convention and then was lost until last year when it appeared on the unofficial fan dvd 'One More Time/Through The Years'.
It is unlikely ever to be given the official release it deserves so, all you Slade fans fed up with being spoon fed the same old same old year after year...enjoy.

Video Description - WE'LL BRING THE HOUSE DOWN

The aftermath of Reading gave Slade their first top ten hit in centuries with WBTHD, and what better way to announce yourself to the waiting world as the new standard bearers of British Heavy Metal?
Moondogs Matinee of course, the brand new kids TV show that was first aired on 14/04/1981.
Slade performed both the hit of the day and a 100mph version of Mama on the show, both clips are available to be used on any proper dvd and are stored at the ITN/Granada archives.....you could believe that or you could believe that it does not exist, take your pick!

Video Description - DIZZY MAMA

How many Slade fans picked up the gibbon chunder coloured slice of vinyl that was 'Ginny Ginny', and stared in disbelief at the lable?
Surely there was some mistake, a misspress perhaps...could 'Dizzy Mama' really be the B side?

Indeed it was and although the A side sank without a trace, Dizzy Mama, introduced into the set in January 1980, was to become the bands opener in later tours and would remain so for a few years before being itself replaced with 'Preacher'.
Dizzy Mama is a reworking of ZZ Top's 'Tush', if not a reworking it certainly pays some 'omage' to the bearded ones ditty.
In this age of box sets and costly retrospectives, Slade have been criminally ill served. The repeat reissuing of greatest hits packages spiced up with a picture book or two really doesnt hit the mark.
Enjoy another Slade In England special vid presentation of the band ripping through Dizzy Mama, a clarion call to arms for the masses, video footage filmed at the Kimb erley leisure centre Nottingham and the audio is from the Lochem set.
Have fun...

SLADE - ROCK N ROLL PREACHER

In their recording career Slade notched up an impressive three live Lp's finishing up with 'Slade On Stage'.

Union Square Music are currently in the process of reissuing the complete Slade Catalogue including on SalvoCD201 'SLADE ALIVE!' which is a special two cd package containing all three and some bonus Reading Live tracks from the Reading EP's.
Preacher was never as good an opener as Hear Me Calling or Dizzy Mama but sit back and enjoy this Slade In England video then rush off and buy the CD.......

Slade - Take Me Bak 'ome (1972)

From a short lived 1972 TV program called '2 G's And The Pop People'. Pretty crazy stuff. Each band member has a dancing chick dressed sort of the same as them mimicking their moves as they lip sync 'Take Me Bak 'ome'.. This is supposed to be the only known video of Slade doing this song back in their prime. (There's a colour version out there somewhere...)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1EAg6yeRVY

Slade were regular visitors to Sk Trax, on this occassion Nod & Jim they were promoting their single and Album,I think Nod hada few too many...really funny..if this don't make you laugh, then nothing will...Enjoy.
