This was recorded at The Showplace, Dover, New Jersey, U.S.A. on July 30th 1976 (with Good Rats). This is a recording from the archives of King Biscuit Flower Hour.

Slade played a mix of older hits and new material from the album Nobody's Fools, but they were still far from becoming US stars.They performed accordingly, owning the stage and rocking the hall to its rafters."Hear Me Calling" and "Get on Up" starts this set rolling, Noddy Holder snarls his lines with hard rock bluesy rock fervor, a la Paul Rodgers or Bon Scott. He's an excellent between song banterer and host, though perhaps the English humor and accent had trouble translating to the Jersey crowd. They blaze through "Scratch My Back" and the swaggering "Take Me Bak 'Ome" then take it down a notch for "How Does It Feel" from their film "Flame"(featuring Jimmy Lea on keyboards). The song Slade calls "Move Over Baby" is a heavy metal esque version of Janis Joplin's "Move Over" Holder refers to "Gudbuy T' Jane" from the 1972 album Slayed as "one of the old ones" but the number two British single rocks with the spirit of stripped down punk rock, which at the time was the fresh new sound. "Them Kinda Monkeys Can't Swing" is also from their film "Flame" and this time it's Dave Hill's turn to shine on guitar while Jimmy Lea busts out the fiddle. "Yehudi Menuhin, Jr. there" quips Holder, as Lea wraps up his virtuoso performance. Slade top off with "Get Down and Get With It" a blues rave up that first got them going on their UK chart run. They encore with "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" (covered by Quiet Riot in 1984) and a medley of Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Rock 'N' Roller" and the Larry Williams hit "Bony Maronie."
