Nazareth - Holiday (Live in London March 16, 1980) FM Broadcast
Classic Rock Live Music (High Quality Audio)Nazareth – Playlist - https://rumble.com/playlists/SayBTb3ssak?e9s=src_v1_upp_pl 70+ Bands Playlists - https://rumble.com/user/VigilanteMan/playlists Concerts - https://rumble.com/c/ClassicRockConcerts/videos?sort=views Nazareth’s March 16, 1980 appearance at London’s Hammersmith Odeon was a tremendous concert from the Malice in Wonderland era, with the band hitting the stage in fine form. The classic core lineup—Dan McCafferty, Manny Charlton, Pete Agnew, and Darrell Sweet—was now reinforced by Zal Cleminson, whose arrival the previous year added a heavier twin guitar spark that pushed the band into fresh territory. Cleminson’s cool, fluid style meshed beautifully with Manny’s heavier edge, giving the songs extra bite and a more dynamic live presence. Dan’s gravel rich vocals cut through the hall, the rhythm section drove everything forward with steady force, and the expanded guitar attack made the night feel fantastic, loud, and fully charged. With a superior BBC quality recording circulating among collectors, this show stands as one of the most kick ass documents of Nazareth’s early ’80s evolution—raw, tight, and unmistakably their own. Nazareth are a Scottish hard rock band formed in Dunfermline in 1968 by vocalist Dan McCafferty, guitarist Manny Charlton, bassist Pete Agnew, and drummer Darrell Sweet, evolving from The Shadettes and inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, with their name taken from Nazareth, Pennsylvania as referenced in The Band’s “The Weight.” Moving to London in 1970, they released their debut in 1971, gained traction with Exercises in 1972, and broke through with Roger Glover produced Razamanaz in 1973, spawning UK hits like “Broken Down Angel.” Subsequent albums Loud ’N’ Proud and Rampant cemented their reputation, while 1975’s Hair of the Dog propelled them internationally with its title track and the platinum ballad “Love Hurts,” their only U.S. Top Ten hit and a chart topper in multiple countries. Later albums like No Mean City (1979) and Malice in Wonderland (1980) expanded their sound, and they remained popular in Europe through the 1980s and 1990s, with Germany embracing “Dream On.” Despite lineup changes, including Billy Rankin, Jimmy Murrison, Ronnie Leahy, Lee Agnew, Linton Osborne, and Carl Sentance, Nazareth continued recording and touring, releasing albums such as The Newz (2008), Big Dogz (2011), Tattooed on My Brain (2018), and Surviving the Law (2022). Their legacy includes tributes like Guns N’ Roses covering “Hair of the Dog,” and though original members Manny Charlton and Dan McCafferty passed away in 2022, Pete Agnew remains the last founding member, ensuring Nazareth’s more than 50 year legacy of hard hitting rock endures.84 views -

A mixer sourced recording of the show circulates among collectors, confirming that the performance was captured with solid clarity.
