Sweet - 10. Set Me Free - Live at the Capitol, Hannover - 1991 (OFFICIAL)

[@herculesdutradecamposfilho2033]

Pra mim essa é a melhor música da banda com.um show espetacular do baterista ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@johnhutchison9782]

This era of Sweet was not my older sister's version. This was the borderline heavy metal Sweet that I really liked. I cannot dispute so many of you here that "this isn't Sweet" or "no Brian, no Mick, no Steve, no Sweet" attitude, but at this point, Brian was no longer able to perform coherently, Steve had moved to the U.S., and Mick had recently left. Andy was smart for turning to a hard rock sound for the band, as the musical climate had blown the lighter rock sound Sweet had been known for out of favor with the general public. McNulty had been playing with the band for some time, had the hard rock vocal chops, and he was a huge step over Adam Ant/Peter Gabriel lovechild Paul Mario Day. This sure wasn't "classic" Sweet, but it was Sweet who changed with the times. Peace, John

Very well put!!!

[@johnhutchison9782]

@@metalmanchild1454 much appreciated, Scott. About every week or so I still watch the classic lineup doing Fox, Hellraiser, and the other big hits, but these videos rock so damn much 🤘

You obviously haven't heard Sweet live in the 70s then. They were quite Hard Rock.

@@alfredoperri6158 no I didn't, it was poor planning on my parents part. If they had gotten a little busier about 5 or 6 years sooner I might have had the opportunity LOL

Right 👍🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@briansauer6695]

The thing is, Saxon did a version in '84, that I discovered in the mid 90's after learning Saxon was still around. I'd never heard it before and loved it! then a coworker told me it was originally Sweet. I checked the studio version out but after LOVING Saxon's version, Sweet's version, although I liked it, wasn't doing it for me. Hearing this version today is RIGHT ON! This is the way it should have been done and I feel this compares to Saxon's. BTW, been a fan of Sweet since I was 7 in 1974 and my Mom had Ballroom Blitz on a 45 with Restless as a B-side. Played it over and over on a portable, fold out, single speaker record player over and over, scratches and all. Probably drove my Mom nuts! Bought the album years ago but never listened to the whole thing so I missed this song!

[@gary1chester]

This is brilliant. The way those backing vocals are all blending together is the best I've ever heard. Coke can routine is awesome as was that drum solo.

[@harolddburke4726]

This song originally came out about '75 .They never played it on the radio. If they only had I would have been a die hard Sweet. One of the best hard rockin songs ever in my book. Damn the radio for not having any foresight. I love this song. Critics as well have proven worthless. This song still is a Rock- Out . I heard Ballroom Blitz enough to kill a horse.

[@pascalconan3201]

F******g excellent !! Equal to the best of Deep Purple. What a song and what a tight band. Andy is very impressive with that guitar. A real pleasure )))

[@youcangettherefromhere3833]

I realize this is not the original Sweet I grew up with but it's the true spirit of Sweet and a terrific tribute to my hero's that brought this kind of take no prisoners to the scene with Desolation Boulevard. I think the former and deceased members would approve.

[@kjelledbom1728]

We used to listen to Sweet in school when we had something called "fun friday" the boys wanted to listen to Sweet and the girls wanted to listen to some sappy shit, this was 76 or so, before they started to fall apart. The album Desolation boulevard and the song Man with the golden arm made me start to play the drums. These riffs Mick was doing in Sweet actually influenced some guys to start another band called Accept, maybee u heard of them:) Be safe

[@PauloHowlett]

Aussie Outlaw Of course that is. Andy cartões on with Sweet since 1985, and back Then the band was called only Sweet. He Just changed the band's name to andy Scott's Sweet when Mick left the band. And then switched again to The Sweet when he died.

[@AussieOutlaw]

***** LMAO, Ahhh ok

[@briansauer6695]

Funny Haita, my mother had the 45 single of Ballroom Blitz back in the 70's when I was only a little kid too. I played it OVER AND OVER on my little portable record player she gave me. The B-Side of Ballroom Blitz was a song called Restless which I just loved! Every time I hear these songs, I feel like I've actually traveled in time back to my bedroom in the mid 70's! Ahhh, the good old days!

[@xxcelr8rs]

On my training cassette (yes, the old walkman-times), when I powered on my bike for triathlon in younger years, I blew my ears away with a mixtape of Motörhead, Slayer etc. And this version of Set me free. This song is as heavy as Ace of Spades, Overkill and all the others. And to my surprise I now see the drummer was Bodo Schopf (ex-Eloy).

No, Priest never did speed metal. They did some prog stuff and a bit of new wave influenced music though, as well as a NWOBHM sound. Also, this song wasn't speed metal either originally. It was just heavy metal. This version is sped up from the original on the album.

[@ericrivera9415]

@@camerondodge2070 Of course Judas tackled speed metal. Exciter, Call the Priest, Genocide(live1979) and Dissident Aggressor are indisputably prime examples of them pulling it off. And those songs were pre-NWOBHM too.

[@ericrivera9415]

@@camerondodge2070 Ignore. Keep reading if you want. Just throwing out some history. Their first album is the only and I mean, ONLY example of prog in their discography; and to their credit, all those songs were throwaways written by the previous vocalist, Al Atkins. If it weren’t for Gull records, Rocka Rolla would not exist. The prog element was issued by the label.

Saxon's version was the first I heard and thought it was their original. I friggin' love theirs the best! But, I suppose it depends on which version you heard 1st as to which you might like. I was only 6 when Sweet brought out Ballroom Blitz, which I believe Set Me Free is off of the same album, Desolation Blvd.

BTW, Saxon has become my favorite band for the in the last 15 years so I'm just "a little" prejudiced towards them!
