5 out of 5 stars Great Scottish Gig.......2007-05-19

This by far is the best recording live of Nazareth. Unfortunately I never had the chance of seeing them (YET!), but this makes up for it. Well worth every penny.

5 out of 5 stars Nazareth Does it again.......2007-01-12

Another great CD by Nazareth. You will not be sorry for buying this cd.

5 out of 5 stars Wore this out when on cassette. Twice........2006-09-13

There's very few releases I can stand to listen to every track. This is one of the few in decades of listening to rock I can say I like the live performance better and can stand the whole album. Heard other live Naz songs, some recorded at concerts not too long before or after this. Snaz is the best of all of them.

Just my opinion that Telegram, This Flight Tonight, Every Young Man's Dream, and Holiday are their best versions ever, live or recorded.

5 out of 5 stars Mottz.......2004-07-21

Incredibly, by the time this album was released in 1981 by Vertigo Records as a live double album (oh those good old days of vinyl), Nazareth had already released thirteen studio albums. That does not include the masses of Greatest Hits, etc., that have been put out over the years by the record companies. That was surprising as Nazareth had always been known as a live band, guaranteed to deliver live and pack them in wherever they were booked. But by not putting out their live albums until 1981, Vertigo rather missed the boat. Punk rock had already come and gone, which had not really hurt Nazareth as they were always too hard-edged to be roped in with the hated progressive bands like Pink Floyd, Genesis, etc. However, when you look at what live double albums did for the careers of the likes of U.F.O. with 'Strangers In The Night?; Deep Purple with 'Made In Japan'; or Thin Lizzy with 'Live And Dangerous?, it raises the question of how would Nazareth have fared had they had the extra kick of a double live album out on the shelves as further grist to their mill.

There is no doubt that this is a mighty tome indeed. Nazareth's original Scottish quartet of musicians are still together by the time of Snaz. Manny Charlton with his thick chords and chopping riffs. Was there ever a tighter rhythm section of Pete Agnew and Darrell Sweet? And all topped off by the gravel vocals of Dan McCafferty, who sounded as though he gargled with acid before hitting the stage. The only changes to the lineup to this point had been the addition of fellow county man Zal Cleminson (ex- The Sensational Alex Harvey Band) for a couple of albums and tours directly before this album. The story goes that the rest of Nazareth found Zal temporarily between bands driving Taxis in Glasgow, Scotland. Not believing that such a talent was not actually playing in a rock 'n' roll band, they dragged him out of the taxi and immediately enrolled him in the band until he found his musical feet again. And then when he did, they let him go. After Zal departed, the band felt a bit of a musical void, so they enrolled fellow Scots Billy Rankin on guitar and John Locke on keyboards. Then they set out on a massive tour of North America, recorded every concert for their projected live album, and decided that the concert held at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, Canada, was just what they wanted. So they discarded all the other recordings and put this one out in its entirety.

I think they were right as it catches the band on what was definitely a special night. Starting with the epic ?Telegram? (the story of being on the road with a rock 'n' roll band, including the immortal lyric "I need your picture, smile this way, oh, by the way, will you tell me what you play?) they carried on till a rousing encore of Nazareth's biggest hit, the ballad 'Love Hurts', followed by a version of ZZ Tops 'Tush', left both, band and crowd, breathless. In-between are all the classic Nazareth songs and cover versions which they became famous for. Of course this is one of the advantages of not recording your live album early in your career, but saving it till you have a full two hours of classic material. Mind you, if Nazareth had released a live album in the early seventies, they could of done an equally good one for the eighties.

Snaz was first released on C.D. in 1997, but horrifically, that was a pretty poor effort as the sound was very tinny, and it was not possible to get all the material from the live double vinyl album onto one C.D. As a solution they hacked off six tracks to make it a more manageable seventy minutes, and so completely ruined the flow of the running set, especially as it meant missing out ?Big Boy?, magnificently penned by Zal Cleminson.

However, Eagle Records have gotten hold of the original masters and under the expert supervision of Robert M. Corich and Mike Brown, the original Snaz has been returned to its full glory. The spread covers two C.Ds, has new liner notes, and even the two new studio tracks that had been tacked onto the end of the live recording in 1981 have been faithfully restored. Whether you want to buy a collection of Nazareth's greatest hits or just of a very fine rock 'n' roll band doing what they do best on the live concert circuit, Snaz will not disappoint.

    5 out of 5 stars Nazareth - 'Snaz' (Essential) single disc release.......2005-03-20

    Have always liked this 1981 live Nazareth album.Also glad to see that one record label had the sense to squeeze this 77 minute show onto one disc,instead of two CD's,as it has been released before.All sixteen tracks kick ass as far as I'm concerned.Like,"Razamanaz",Joni Mitchell's "This Flight Tonight","Beggar's Day",J.J.Cale's "Cocaine",their FM radio staple "Holiday","Hair Of The Dog","Show No Mercy",the Yardbird's "Shapes Of Things",the unforgetable "Love Hurts",ZZ Top's "Tush" and "Morning Dew".A must-have for all fans of '70's hard rock.Line-up:Dan McCafferty-vocals,Manny Charlton-guitar,Pete Agnew-bass,Billy Rankin-2nd guitar,John Locke-keyboards and last but not least Darrell Sweet(R.I.P.)-drums.Long live Nazareth!

    4 out of 5 stars Snaz.......2001-07-14

    Nazareth's albums all had a "lighter" tone to them that always bothered me, so that is why this CD is so great. It captures them in their live concert fury, with loud guitars and lots of noise. Some of the songs are throwaways, but for the most part, this is what Nazareth should have sounded like in the studio. If you are an old fan-pick this up. It will give you a completely different look into this band and how they could really ROCK.

    5 out of 5 stars loved it.......1999-08-24

    i also have been looking for this cd and it is very hard to find. ihave tried to find it in a lot of music stores and half of them have never heard of it.i have been a fan of theres all my life.

    5 out of 5 stars Possibly the greatest hard rock live album ever.......1999-03-05

    I had this album on cassette several years ago, it was stolen with many others. It is the one I missed the most. I spent many years trying to find it again. My prayers have been answered. If you think Cheap Trick at Budokan was the ultimate live album of the 80's, your sadly mistaken.

    4 out of 5 stars Captures the band in time, allows us to visit as we please !.......1999-01-07

    Having had the opportunity to check out this remarkable band during several stages of it's unending metamorphosis, I am well aware of what a Nazareth show sounds like. I am equally aware of what a Nazareth show feels like. This outstanding collection has somehow managed to capture both ! The sound quality is in a word ... impeccable ! The interaction between band and crowd is as it should be. The reason for my rating being four stars out of five is.. This live disc is so utterly fantastic, that it should have been a double or triple disc release. I've left one star open for "Snaz 2".
