Slade Alive! is Slade’s first live album, released in March 1972. It reached #2 on the UK Albums Chart and #158 on the US Billboard 200. Recorded live at London’s Command Theatre Studio without overdubs, it features original songs and covers from artists like Ten Years After, The Lovin’ Spoonful, and Steppenwolf. Following modest success with singles and weak previous albums, this record captured Slade’s powerful live energy, cementing their reputation. It stayed on the UK chart for 58 weeks and was Australia’s top-selling album since The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s. It’s now considered one of the greatest live albums ever.
