The old rockers are on their 40th anniversary tour, and they are playing near my hometown in may. Are they still worth seeing? I have been playing their live album "Snaz" today, and I think it still sounds great! What do you guys think?

You should go they are great live. They come here every year once or twice.

1977 opening for Ted Nugent.

Love the band , but I don't think that's lately!

"No Anchovies, Please"

I think I`m going, but do you know anything more, like how long they play, setlist etc.? Thank you!

Great reviews from my county's Northernmost outpost of Örnsköldsvik.
There were a videolink from the gig; can link it later if ya want.

Hi guys,

I´m going to see them 12th August. Nazareth will warm-up Deep Purple. I`ll be first-timer to both these acts.

Nice to hear that! Ørnskøldsvik was in january, right? They`re coming to Leknes, Lofoten to play Lofothallen, with a capacity of 1200 people. 300 tickets sold already! It`s a 70 km drive each way. Would like it very much to see that video. Thank you!

Still searchin' for the vid clip
Here's a review [allehanda.se]
...Most seem happy except a general complaint about the mix/sonic
conditions (but that seems more to gop with the venue).

Till next time: Try use the search function after "Nazareth";
I want to recall I started a certain thread on this, on Nazareth.

A Shame they dont play in Tröndelag.

Posted it here [www.iorr.org]

Here's the clip [oatv.abcdn.net.n2.abcdn.net]

Great clip, thank you very much! Looks like they are still going strong, indeed. Here`s one from 1981, Hair of the dog!:

They do a nice version of Nils Lofgren's "Beggar's Day". He also wrote "Keith Don't Go", so now it's Stones-related.

"No Anchovies, Please"

Just looked through my LP`s and found four with Nazareth. One of them, The ballad album, has a version of Ruby Tuesday! It goes pretty fast. So you are right, Elmo Lewis, definately Stonesrelated!

Just came to my knowledge that there are two Nazareths out tourin at the moment.

(a) "Nazareth" With Dan McCafferty doin' the huge tour on several continents but smaller venues.

(b) And so there is "Nazareth with founding member Manny Charlton":

.. Just wanted to beat the drum for ol' Manny, ol' favorite of mine..
But I wonder how he has solved the vocal part..

Manny & friends crankin out Rockin' In The Free World [collect.myspace.com]

Ok, so it`s just like Dr.Hook then. Two bands with the same name! Imagine the Stones touring as two groups!

I`m going to the one with Dan McCafferty. I think his voice is essential to the sound. Thanks for the clip, Baboon. I see McCafferty likes the Stones. That`s a good sign.

I'd like to see McCafferty's Nazareth too. After all,
he has Peter Agnew "intact" on bass.

Nevertheless; I find also Manny Charlton's alarmin' bottleneck-ish
guitar sound essential. I wish they/Dan could reunite with Manny.
