Kicked in the throat?

[@unmea69l8er]

@@tonypowell250 'In 1974, Connolly was badly beaten after leaving a nightclub in Staines where he received several kicks to his throat resulting in his being unable to sing for some time and permanently losing some of his vocal range. This event also meant the band missed out on supporting The Who at Charlton Athletic Football Ground. Several songs on the Sweet Fanny Adams album had to be sung by other members of the band.'

Wow, this performance of "Live for Today" by Sweet at Ilja Richters Disco back in 1977 is nothing short of spectacular! It truly captures the essence of that era with its vibrant energy and contagious enthusiasm. The band's on-stage charisma and infectious tunes had everyone on their feet, dancing and singing along to this timeless anthem. Sweet's unique blend of glam rock and power pop truly made them stand out during the '70s, and this performance is a testament to their talent and lasting impact on music history. "Live for Today" is an anthem for living in the moment, and this rendition at Ilja Richters Disco serves as a vivid reminder of the carefree spirit and unbridled joy of the time. It's incredible to witness the band's chemistry and passion as they deliver this electrifying performance. From Brian Connolly's powerful vocals to Steve Priest's energetic bass lines, Andy Scott's captivating guitar riffs, and Mick Tucker's thundering drums, it's no wonder Sweet is still remembered fondly today. Watching this rare gem from 1977 brings back a flood of nostalgia, and it's amazing to think that the spirit of that time lives on through performances like this one. Kudos to Sweet for giving us a legendary performance that will always be cherished by fans of classic rock

[@Mick_Ts_Chick]

I never get tired of this song or video. The group was already in a downward spiral and Brian would be gone before long. This is about the last performance where they looked kind of happy. RIP Mick, Brian, and Steve. We'll always love and remember you. 😘💔💝
