[@farrellvanessa]

This drum season by Mick Tucker is just a sneak peak of his talents. Their were all wildly talented and amazing vocalists. This band was years ahead of their time and highly underrated with a sad story. They are worth going down the rabbit hole for. Best band ever. Rest in peace Brian Mick and Steve.

[@davidsteber7601]

You are correct. Sweet is worth going down the rabbit hole for if you love heavy hard rock metal, or even care about music in general.. The first tragedy was Brian getting kicked in the throat, which caused Sweet to miss opening for The Who in Wembley. Then Mick died from leukemia. It was great of Steve and Andy to try to keep Sweet going, even though whatever they did was eclipsed by thoughts of what might have been if Sweet's luck would have been better. The demise of Sweet is a loss for the entire world, one which most are not even aware has diminished them.

[@farrellvanessa]

The session was lip synked as were most recorded for TV sessions BEFORE the mid 1980s ,, Australia Had ''Count Down'' Music show for TV and it was all well known and easily seen, like this session he is smashing his drums to pieces while apparently still playing them

Mick Tucker. The most underrated drummer. Proof.

[@bostonvair]

+1 for these songs. Do them all. Beware that Sweet songs sometimes get blocked, but I'm with Sunn Shinne. Love this band and love Ballroom Blitz and the 3 songs mentioned in the original post in this thread which were all pretty big hits. Genre is glam rock

[@applecorp]

Very underrated group, professionally I think they were disregarded due to their teeny bop glam style with their singles, but album tracks like Sweet FA and Set Me Free certainly prove otherwise, very talented songwriters and musicians.

[@markmanhetherington1]

@Maya Nightwolf good call!

[@barrydavies998]

[@cabdriveruk]

The Ballroom Blitz" was inspired by an incident on 27 January 1973 when the band were performing at the Grand Hall in Kilmarnock, Scotland, and were driven offstage by the audience throwing bottles at them. Andy Scott lead guitarist is the only original member remaining. RIP Brian Connolly Lead singer, Mick Tucker Drummer and Steve Priest Bass guitarist.

[@benbim540]

Yeah if u listen in the lyrics they sing the guy at the back said everyone attack and it turned into a Ballroom Blitz I new the guy they were singing about what actually happened was guys from my hometown attacked the local guys from Kilmarnock after their had been a few fights in the town between them earlier in the day.

[@NealStidham]

I think the reason why Mick Tucker was using his hands and tossed over his drumset was because the band was lip-synching, not playing live, and they weren't too happy about that. There's another part where you can see Brian Connelly stop singing in the middle of a line while the camera's on him, but you hear the words anyway. Lots of TV shows were known to make bands pretend to play over their studio recordings when they came on, with varying degrees of cooperation by the acts. The British show Top of the Pops notoriously had a hard time getting the Pixies to come on for the same reason.

[@michaeldowson6988]

A tip off is when Mics and guitars have no cords and no amps.

There's a notorious performance on Australian TV by Frank Zappa and The Mothers Of Invention where they were ordered to lip sync their performance. Zappa simply mouthed "MF" (the actual words) while the track played. lol. Peace.

[@anthonyhaylock6655]

The Sweet were unlike any other band , they were totally amazing

[@joelex7966]

Sweet members were notorious partiers and if you lived through the '70s they knew how to party. Great music from a great band.

[@annedunne4526]

This was glam rock. We loved "Sweet" the costumes and hairstyles. We adored them.

[@The1PatSmith]

Jay, I feel so sorry for your generation (I'm 68) missing out on the sixties, seventies, and eighties music. Coming from the UK, the Sweet and others were played all the time, and I have to say, the 60-80's were the 'best years of my life'. Cheers and I thoroughly enjoy watching you discover quality music and bands (Sad to say, three of the Sweet have passed on). - Take care, and stay well.

[@lisakunka1338]

Patrick Smith, I was thinking the same thing about the music from the 60's thru the 80's. I'm 63 yrs old and I know for a fact that the music back from the day was the best ever. All of our children were raised on the same music that we were raised on. One time on the way to the beach in 1996 we were listening to music from the 60's thru the 80's. We had I played a game with my children and their cousins. Who could guess which music groups song was playing. The kids guessed it way faster than I could. Lol

[@casey4602]

I used to envy my parents' generation because they had Motown & the British Invasion, but I'm finally appreciating my generation's music of the 70's & 80's with The Eagles, Wings, EW&F and The Sweet.

Sweet was more than just a glam band. That's what the producers and companies wanted. They were a rock band at heart. Check out the North American release of the Desolation Boulevard album. One of the greatest albums ever. Definitely some metal leanings there. My favourite track is "Into the Night". Or maybe "The Six Teens".

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

I was young (almost 70 now) during the time of this band and others like it. It was a great time!

This was so far ahead of "Glam Rock" you have NO CLUE! But that is only because of your age, not your fault. The 70's music was so raw and new. A time of music with no boundaries or automation machines. It was some of the best music times ever!

Their other 2 hit songs were Fox on the Run (1974) and Love is Like Oxygen (1978) The interesting this about these 3 songs, none of them sound like the same band.

[@christopherschafer7675]

This is from a TV show. 1973. At that time many bands did not play live when they were on TV, the technology just wasn't there on a lot of these shows. If you watch again you can tell they are lip syncing. For example, the singer is singing sometimes when he is holding the mic far from his face and his lips aren't moving, and the drummer using his hands, well the drum still sounds like he has sticks. Nothing wrong with this, these guys were just having some fun. Lots of bands did not like these shows because they could not play live. The song is a Chinny-Chap song. They were a pair of song writers who had 40 some hits in the 70's. Likeable but nothing to be too serious about.

[@rdhudon7469]

The Isley Brothers were one of the few acts on soul train that actually played live as they refused to go on otherwise . Most bands hated lip syncing . There was The old Grey whistle Test and Midnight Special were a couple of shows that bands performed live but stuff like Top of the pops they did not .

I was just waiting for Mick to throw his sticks away ... so funny, even the crowd was cheering him on, Steve applauding. Sweet, they didn't give a Sweet Fanny Adams!! They didn't like having to mime. :D

This was popular when I was in NAVY Boot Camp. We had a girl in our company who would go totally nuts when this would come on the radio!! 1975 we definitely could go crazy with our music!!

Hair of the Dog by Nazareth would be a great one to do.

[@donnajean3202]

Quite a few reactors have done Nazareth "Hair of the Dog" but no one has done Nazareth "This Flight Tonight". Please could you react to This Flight Tonight. It was written by the great Joni Mitchell but the Nazareth version rocks. Joni loved the Nazareth version.

Anything Nazareth

[@claudemoulton9210]

Their greatest hits album is amazing. Every song is incredible.

[@henrygoleau]

Set Me Free is my favorite of theirs, these guys rocked hard. But they could also go jazzy funky, as in the outro to Heartbreak Today. Love Sweet.

I believe the drummer's name was Mick Tucker.

[@highpath4776]

Take a look at some of the live stuff on the Geordie Scene programs , Sweet were terrific, plus Mick Tucker - The Man with the Golden Arm for about 15mins of drum solo.

[@rainerkreimeyer]

The Sweet were the most successful Glam Rock Band of the 70s, and were very successful in Germany alone with 8 Nr1 Singles until 1982 after the Beatles!

[@leecook8818]

I bought their album ‘All strung up’ back in the day and to this day it is still one of my favourite LPs.

[@neilgill1639]

Check out "Fox on the Run" by Sweet next, if you haven't already done so. Its another hit.

[@sharrontaylor5448]

Sweet did song Fox in the Run.. super song too

[@TheWizardKs]

Oh ya, when I heard this song for the first time I was hooked as a fan. They didn't have tons of hits but when they did, it was always great!

[@helenpowell3546]

Fox on the run, that’s my favourite. Loved them back in the 70 s. Brilliant band..
