" . . . . I like Noddy Holder too, and while the stage crew take ages to sweep up Frankie's discarded vocal cords, and the kids groove on a videotape of a truly terrible local band, I wonder how Slade will go down at Winterland. Having faded right out over here, the band must want badly to establish themselves in the States. I think it's brave of them to try. As it turns out they do O.K. For a moment, the house are stunned by the sheer loudness and brashness of their entrance and then cameras are whipped out to focus on Noddy's hat and Dave Hill, the silver rabbit. Noddy falls in to a Bay Area translation of his football jive and the kids are hooked.
(Though not so the American press and music business pro's who sit round the back where the drinks are and wince their way through the antics of Slade on a small screen. It doesn't seem to be the custom for anyone over here who hasn't paid to brave the terrors of Outfront).
Meanwhile, Dave Hill enhances the vaudeville character of Slade's act by climbing stairs at the side of the stage to cuddle up against the amp, like a performer crossing to talk to the MC during the "Good Old Days", and Jim Lea solos the William Tell overture.
But Noddy's the only one you need to look at. A Dickensian comic hero, he crashes through "Gudbuy T'Jane", "How does it feel", "Get Down And Get With It", etc, and the unbelievable braying and hollering is curiously at variance with the huge, tender, dreaming face on the video.
In his way, Noddy's another original....."
