Theres gotta be more former fans here?

Loved Gone Dead Train.

I loved their cover of Joni Mitchell's "This Flight Tonight". They did a decent cover of "Love Hurts" as well.

Nazarath? They used to do a Bruce Springsteen song too, didn't they? It was a hit too, right?

Yes..I am a fan...bad bad boy!!,great singles through the early to mid seventies, and 'Razamanazz' is great...I bought it in about 74 when I was 12. The best of Nazz is a damn fine listen..love it!

Hard to get This Flight.. at Youtube
with orinal-line up, but here's a audio with homemade pixcollage

Count me in. Saw 'em open for Ted Nugent in the 70's. I love "I Want To Do Everything For You" - originally by Joe Tex? Not sure. Great song. Also, Nils Lofgren's "Beggar's Day".

"No Anchovies, Please"

Loud `n´Proud was one of the first albums I bought and I still like it very much. One of their best I think.

Vigilante Man......

But Razamanaz & Bad Bad Boy take a long way too....

Far-far-far-out Naz' from 1972: Morning Dew



Watch Manny Charlton treat an axe & Dan crax howl-ish like a crow-owl-wolf
in a pastoral, majestic, cozy tune...... (note the conferencier chick!)

Finally: To please out honoured Gazzy Ulsterman:


This Flite Tonite

well, this is interesting, but i liked joni better !!

Took me 30 years to comprehend this wasnt an original Naz' tune

Never was a big Nazareth fan, but I did catch one of their shows in New Orleans in the early '80s.

Someone told me later that they used that show as a photo shoot for the cover of their live album. Made sense to me as I still remember a heck of a lot of posing by those guys during the show.

that's okay, i guess joni thought of it as a nazareth song too


"They became huge in Canada after This Flight Tonight soared up the singles' charts there, whilst reaching number 11 in Britain. Taken from Joni Mitchell's 1970 Blue album, Nazareth's version – produced by Deep Purple's Roger Glover as part of the Loud'N'Proud sessions - is more than a re-working. What they've done is taken the song from its folk-ballad roots right through to heavy metal. Small wonder then that Joni Mitchell both was stunned by and loved this version, reportedly even calling it a Nazareth song from then on."

Apparently you haven't heard Celine Dion's cover of AC/DC's Shook Me all Night.

Yeah especially the on from the Live 1973 LP. Not forgetting Emmylou Harris here.

"Woke Up This Morning". Love this Nazareth tune. Some neat slide work in it.

but of course. Nothing touches that one.

Thanks for the YouTube, Baboon

They were recently in Vancouver. They are still fairly popular in Canada and always seem to play a local show here on a regular basis. I believe drummer Darryl Sweet passed away a few years ago.
They recorded their "SNAZ" live album in Vancouver in the early 80's and have a song called Vancouver Shakedown which I believe is about their equipment being stolen here in the late 70's.
