In January 1985, when Nazareth performed "Hair of the Dog" live, they were at a pivotal point in their career. The band had released their album "The Catch" in 1984, which featured a more polished sound compared to their earlier works. This era was significant as it followed the peak of their popularity in the 1970s, driven largely by their iconic album "Hair of the Dog" released in 1975, which brought them global recognition. The live performance captured in this recording showcases their classic rock roots and the strong vocal presence of Dan McCafferty, who was known for his distinctive voice. Interestingly, by 1985, Nazareth was beginning to face challenges in the changing music landscape, but their ability to deliver powerful live performances continued to resonate with fans. This concert epitomizes their enduring appeal and commitment to rock music during a transformative period in their career.
