I’ve always felt that Slade were one of the most preposterously dressed bands of the 70s glam period, but HOT DAMN once you got them out of their stage gear they could be kind of terrifying. I think it’s the boots that make this so alarming.

Getting both down and with it
Tonight’s listening. Great fun. The only serious problem with this? They made it before Slayed? which gave us tunes like “Mama Weer All Crazee Now” and “Gudbuy T’Jane”, and before “Cum On Feel the Noize”, all of which would’ve lifted this live album immensely. On the other hand, Slade Alive climaxes in a berserk runthrough of “Born to Be Wild” that’s one of the most… just “holy shit” things ever. I wish there was video of them playing that song, cos I want to see how they actually made some of those noises.
