Saw them at the Rock Garden. The late single "when I'm Dancing I Ain't Fighting" was a popular song at the time.

Of all the big bands I missed (Pistols, Clash, Stranglers) at the Rock Garden, Slade were the only ones I regretted missing 
Loved them in the very early 70's.

Can't believe that. Saw all of those at the R.G and only the Clash disappointed but only due to poor sound at the gig. Loved Slade at the R.G but the others were amazing as well.Of all the big bands I missed (Pistols, Clash, Stranglers) at the Rock Garden, Slade were the only ones I regretted missing

I was DJing in the working men's club next door that night. I remember the blast of Gudbuy T'Jane coming through the walls as they were soundchecking and I was setting my gear up.

Slade by name only. They have a vocalist who sounds like a bad Brian Johnson (btw Noddy was AC/DCs first choice after Bon Scott died, but he turned them down), and only Dave Hill left from the original band. Holder/Lea were the song writers and they can retire very nicely just on Merry Xmas Everybody.
Slade Alive still one of the best live albums I've heard. Shame they went all party songs towards the end.

I didn’t know that about AC/DC and Noddy.
