Sensational Alex Harvey Band - St. Anthony

Sensational Alex Harvey Band - St. Anthony live at the Marquee Club, London, January 18th 1973. The Sensational Alex Harvey Band were a Scottish rock band formed in Glasgow in 1972. Fronted by Alex Harvey accompanied by Zal Cleminson on guitar, bassist Chris Glen, keyboard player Hugh McKenna and drummer Ted McKenna, their music was a blend of glam rock, blues rock and hard rock, with cabaret elements. Their stage performances incorporated theatrical elements. The band were popular in continental Europe, and influential in Australia, most notably on AC/DC (particularly their singer Bon Scott) and on the young Nick Cave and his first band The Boys Next Door.

One of the best front men ever . Sheer angelic manace . A million times better than the wall to wall beige music of today.

I wish I'd been around to see this band live.

What a shame. I discovered this group for myself only in 2023.

Saw the last twenty minutes of a SAHB set at Birmingham Town Hall circa 1972. A whole bus load of us actually went there to see our local band Mott the Hoople, who were actually the main billing. I had not heard of SAHB at that point, and indeed did not really rediscover them until about 1976. Truth be told, the short bit I saw was really rather more impressive than Mott. We were accompanied on that trip by Mick Ralph's dad, who was a local postmaster, and it was quite funny to see Mick climb on the bus after the gig to exchange laundry bags with his father.

I saw SAHB support Slade in the Edinburgh Empire in 73. I was 15 went in a Slade fan came out a SAHB fan. Saw them many times. Shook Alex's hand.

Thank you for introducing this band to me. I’m a first time listener even though I’m in my 60’s.

[SpireUtd]

Very early, Very rare. Thank you so much for Saving this for every Alex Harvey & SAHB fan, new, old ... and those yet to come!

[eddyhow]

Saw them a few times at the Greyhound on the Fulham palace road, back in the early seventies. Always a great show.

[borisblade]

watch the masters and learn utter brilliance

[brucebakken]

I cannot believe that I have not known about this band. I found your videos just about a week ago, and I have been learning about the SAHB! Thank you!

Never thought I'd see a video of Alex on guitar 😮.

[martinshephard]

Brilliant, only saw them once when they supported The Who at Parkhead in 1970 something. Watching this makes we wonder what kind of collaboration he’d have had with Ian Dury as there’s quite a bit of similarity in the originality of the lyrics and the very personal and often quite strange subject matter.

Hell Alex and his band were something else….nothing like this since…
