Sad news, Dan McCafferty, former lead singer has passed away at age 76. He died Tuesday, 11/08/2022. He was the soul of Nazareth. RIP and God bless...thank you for the great music.
Had completely forgot about this song until it popped into my head at 2AM this morning. Such a great song, I remember when it was released and saw them perform it live when I was in high school.
I completely forgot about it as well. Just watched Professor of Rock episode on Love Hurts. In the post script bit at the end he mentioned Holiday and played a 5 second clip. My brain went "DING. That song, yeah. I really liked that song. How did I ever forget it?" Immediately ran to find it.
On this day(April 30) in 1999, Nazareth drummer Darrell Sweet died of a heart attack as the band arrived for a show in New Albany, Indiana. Love this song. RIP Darrell.
OMG. I love this song. I have loved it since it first came out on the radio back in the 70's. I never get tired of listening to it. Beautiful chords. Beautiful instrumentations. Thank you Nazareth for always making me feel young again and taking me back to a very happy time in my life.
Talent. Just good, old-fashioned rocking with cracking musicians and McCafferty's distinctive vocals. God, to go back to 1980 and be driving at night between Sherman, Texas and Ada, Oklahoma and the Zoo is playing the best music in the world. Thanks so much for putting this one up!!🥰

It is so sad and an injustice that Nazareth never really got their due..you had to see these guys play live in order to really appreciate them,,,,The most underrated Band in Rock history..they should have been in The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame years ago... It's not the same without Dan McCafferty.
Im so lucky i've watched them in live concerts here in Philippines wayback year 1985 during their world tour, it was my greatest unforgetable experienced ever in life.."SNAZ" is the best..
I’m 47 and the youngest brother of 4 I remember being 7 yrs old while my one brother played this for me he passed last year which leaves only 3 now but what a great song!
I still remember hearing this one on the bus headed to school (grade 8) loved it from the first time I heard it even know I couldn't make out all the lyrics...sang the line over and over "momma please no more face lifts I just don't know which one you is " throughout science class...the voice is the band and in many cases over powers the music/backing vocals...love it:)))
Same here, Mick! 8th Grade, 1980 - bus to and fro school. Used to hear this and Mott's "All The Young Dudes" AND could not make out the lyrics either, LOL!
I’m thrilled to rediscover this old music video that I loved when it was broadcast on Video Concert Hall. I only just now learned that Nazareth was from Scotland! -awesome! My ancestors hail from Scotland.
Still have the album from those days.My brother and I blasting it in our basement . Great times,great music Glad to have seen Nazereth in Ft.Laud Summers on the Beach in '90-91 ?It got hazy back then.
Nowadays popular music , rock and music in general is dead ... everything is plastic , generic ,lyrics made with 3 words and the singers are so useless they have to use autotune .. and nobody plays an instrument....
R.I.H.(eaven), Danny Mac (Dan McCafferty)!!!!! This song ("Holiday") is my fave from Nazareth. It's got that "bluesy backbeat" that Rock & Roll's based on.
As soon as that quarter went in, my friends and I were psyched knowing the video was about to start on MTV. If you had MTV from the start in 1981, you saw this video constantly. Can’t believe it only hit #87 on the singles charts!
Great upload. I really liked this song and remember watching it on MTV back in 1981. I also remember that they used the segment from about 2:20 - 2:30 for their "stereo hookup" commercials, I think. Anyway, this brings back good memories from being a kid.
This was one of the first music videos I saw as a kid, even pre-dating MTV. There was some local network affilate that ran an oddball block of programming very early in the morning on the weekends, you had to take what you could get when you didn't have cable!
R.I.P Mr. Dan McCafferty! You’re a legendary singer with a one in a million voice. You will be sadly missed.
Another one down. God bless 🙏

You are a 21 year old man 👌
Nazareth was underrated.. big time.
Cool.man.

color really does not matter
“Mama, mama please. No more facelifts. I just don’t know which one you is.”
Love this.

Killer solo from Zal Cleminson. Always one of my favorite players.
❤❤so true. Billy nailed it live as well. Great band
RIP Dan McCafferty. Your music will live on.
On this day(April 30) in 1999, Nazareth drummer Darrell Sweet died of a heart attack as the band arrived for a show in New Albany, Indiana. Love this song. RIP Darrell.
RIP Dan, thanks for all the great music and wonderful vocal performances.
This band NEVER got the accolades they deserved for their contributions to hard rock and heavy metal. They were literally years ahead of their time.
OMG. I love this song. I have loved it since it first came out on the radio back in the 70's. I never get tired of listening to it. Beautiful chords. Beautiful instrumentations. Thank you Nazareth for always making me feel young again and taking me back to a very happy time in my life.
80s
@coogan8825Yes, it says 1980 in the title of this video! 👌
Perfect 80's crossover. Pop rock yet still had soul, grit and great lyrics.
Why wasn't it a hit in the States? Like Thin Lizzy , injustice.
Nazareth & Thin Lizzy .
Overlooked( in the States) Celtic legends!
I've always loved classic rock music, Nazareth has been one of my favorites since late 70's, they're loved more than it's known. God bless Dan*
Talent. Just good, old-fashioned rocking with cracking musicians and McCafferty's distinctive vocals. God, to go back to 1980 and be driving at night between Sherman, Texas and Ada, Oklahoma and the Zoo is playing the best music in the world. Thanks so much for putting this one up!!🥰
Sad to hear the news today. RIP Dan McCafferty and thank you for the music. Your powerful and unmistakable voice will never be forgotten.
😢
thx for all the music Dan...rip
RIP Dan McCaffery
Brilliant song and fabulous band .Classic!
I hadn't seen this in over 30 years. STILL AWESOME.
Nazareth is one of the greatest bands in the World. Totally underated.
I hear you brother 👍
I agree. so underated!
@@pis1ca Mamma mamma *PLZ* !!! heh
Как же Вас не хватает! Хорошо у нас есть ваше великое наследие! Nazareth - бесподобны!!! Люблю Вас!!!
Underrated song and band
Travel well Dan McCafferty. You inspired my musical journey. As soon as I heard the news of your passing I played this tune (over and over).
Since I heard it at 8 yrs old until now at 50+ I still love this F’n song! Love This Song!!!!!
RIP Manny Charlton! Great, great guitarist.

Rest in peace, Dan.

I didn't know they continued without dan.
Im so lucky i've watched them in live concerts here in Philippines wayback year 1985 during their world tour, it was my greatest unforgetable experienced ever in life.."SNAZ" is the best..
Well, Nazareth is my fav rock n roll band. Times when Dan was there though
Saw them 3x at the Aragon in Chicago...they were awesome!
I always thought this song should've been a top 10 hit.
Absolutely
I’m 47 and the youngest brother of 4 I remember being 7 yrs old while my one brother played this for me he passed last year which leaves only 3 now but what a great song!
1980 ....I wanna get back there . It was incredible.
Haven't heard this song in about 30 years and still know the words to the song.
Bon Jovi and Brian Adams before they even knew what a stage is.
Thank you for the wonderful music.
This song has always ripped!!
Great solo to boot!
Nazareth is one of my favorite rock groups.😍
As an indicator of just how ahead of their time they were....this predates MTV. Very few bands were doing videos at the time.
I still remember hearing this one on the bus headed to school (grade 8) loved it from the first time I heard it even know I couldn't make out all the lyrics...sang the line over and over "momma please no more face lifts I just don't know which one you is " throughout science class...the voice is the band and in many cases over powers the music/backing vocals...love it:)))
Dude, I was in 9th grade...you and I along w/other kids would've sung this on the bus! RockOn!
Same here, Mick! 8th Grade, 1980 - bus to and fro school. Used to hear this and Mott's "All The Young Dudes" AND could not make out the lyrics either, LOL!
Sweet, comment I can relate also did the same.
R I P Dan MC Cafferty, your vocal talent was amazing and unique,,
my favourite rock band ever, very underrated rockers.
Haven’t heard this in ages. Thanks for posting.
I love Nazareth.. 👍😍
Randomly ran across this song.. brings back so many incredible memories from 40 years ago.. And you know what I was doing then :)
great song please check out Nazareth - Exercises Album Review on my channel
Really music👍❤ Nazareth!!!!!!!!! I love this world ...... Mama mama please....
Underrated, yes, in the US. In Europe in the mid to late 70s this band was up there with Black Sabbath and Deep Purple in popularity.
Great Great Great song. What a friggin' hook in the chorus.
why is this song so forgotten. a awesone rock song.
Awesome
Robert Lemuel this is a wicked tune. Makes you want to slide all over your house. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
How can NE-1 forget, "Mamma mamma - *PLZ* "?

I’m thrilled to rediscover this old music video that I loved when it was broadcast on Video Concert Hall. I only just now learned that Nazareth was from Scotland! -awesome!
My ancestors hail from Scotland.
My all- time favorite Nazareth rocker!!
First saw this on Video Concert Hall in 1980 when I was 11, loved it then and still love it
Great how they came back with this song and it was mtv world. You can’t beat good writing and a band who knows what “ the struggle” was
Great Song.. 😊👍😍
Early 80s mtv...love it
I love this song!
Awesome,made by people who did it for the love of music,not money...no autotune here!!!!
A Timeless Masterpiece by a Great Band!
Still have the album from those days.My brother and I blasting it in our basement .
Great times,great music
Glad to have seen Nazereth in Ft.Laud Summers on the Beach in '90-91 ?It got hazy back then.
This is good old fashion rock n' roll. Nothin' like it anymore and that's sad.
I was gonna write the same thing... and You've stolen my reflections.
Totally agree love nazereth
without question

Lindos videos e. Musica lindas Amo. Uma lembraça inesquecivel.
Minha nossa é de tirar o fôlego ! aí aí !
That chorus is so filled with sunshine and despair... I love it.
well said.
R.I.H.(eaven), Danny Mac (Dan McCafferty)!!!!! This song ("Holiday") is my fave from Nazareth. It's got that "bluesy backbeat" that Rock & Roll's based on.
Same by me...loved it from day one, even if for others it was a bit too melodic...incredible how fresh it sounds after so many years
Love Love Nazareth banda escocesa maravilhosa cada musica e uma surpresa diferente jamais vai ter outras igual!!!!
Love This Song!
What a great song ...telling it like it is...thanks for posting.
Nazareth es imposible de olvidar ,♡♡♡♡♡ larga vida a DAN MCCAFFERTY
Dan a juventude correndo nas veias alegrou muito as gerações dos anos 80 hoje já um homem maduro continua cantando alegrando nossas lembranças
Essa música foi lançada em 1975.
Anos 70, não 80.
Dan, and Stuart Adamson, two Scotish national treasures.
for me its just great to see Zal here - big fan...
Long live Nazareth! Rock on Dan!
RIP, Dan McCafferty.
I don't think this song has ever aged.
Cool! I love that song!✌️
RIP Dan. You will be sorely missed.

Dan McCafferty I mis You 😪😪❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹💕💞One off the best Rock Singer love you Dan !!!

This is the best song this band did. They were so good and underrated.
great song please check out Nazareth - No Mean City Album review on my channel
GOD please bring 1980 back (friggin rocks)
Always love Nazareth, they have always been part of my music collection.
Great upload. I really liked this song and remember watching it on MTV back in 1981. I also remember that they used the segment from about 2:20 - 2:30 for their "stereo hookup" commercials, I think. Anyway, this brings back good memories from being a kid.
Bring this song back, and to the attention of kids...by either putting the chorus in an advert...or by doing a cover
Dan and the boys kicked out some great Rock N Roll tunes just awsome rock that i grew up with RIP DAN MCCAFFERTY
Love it don't know who my daddy is? Gonna have me a Holiday gotta love Nazareth.......
Great classic kick ass rock song! Thanks for posting! This song should appear on their greatest hits.

Nazareth uma. Grande. Banda. Forever Yes. Portugal 🇵🇹
Nazareth sempre mandando "aquela brasa"! Demais!!!
Ahhhh.... real rock tunes !
Eugene Badger Oh yeah your talking rock now
This was one of the first music videos I saw as a kid, even pre-dating MTV. There was some local network affilate that ran an oddball block of programming very early in the morning on the weekends, you had to take what you could get when you didn't have cable!
Always liked this song!
Viva os anos 80👏👏
S Paulo Brasil-🇧🇷🇧🇷??
Essa música é de 1975, pode crer eu estava lá.
Erraram não é de 1980.
Great Band
LINDA BANDA!
