Brilliant choice, whoever you are, thank you....Sweet were one of the greatest bands to come out of England in 1970's, their music and lyrics are sublime

[@nedeast6845]

@@Southbound63 yeah OK "etc" were a great band as well

[@tireshredderjoe8894]

It’s so nice that you did the long version of this song. It’s so much more than the radio version. Thanks!

[@MadrigalDream]

SWEET was A Great Band ❤ They have some Fantastic Music 🎼

[@TheHogsEarReport]

Sweet was 1970s British Glam Rock. They were influential on 80s metal. They did sometimes do heavy rock, but they are not always remembered for that. Underrated band in the US.

[@Fibonacci64]

Sweet was the first ”real” concert I saw. Without my parents, Stockholm 1975. They were huge back then. I was 11. Not just glam-rock, quite heavy rock, not kids stuff. And yes, they played ”Ballroom Blitz”.

[@raiderfan346]

Ballroom Blitz is well worth a listen too. Have a great weekend everyone.

[@stefanblue660]

When I got teenager Sweet was one of my favourite Bands. And this is their best Song imo. Thank you for that, every request is worthwile for one reason.

[@vandalayindustries3057]

Herve Villaichez used to live next door to my uncle.

[@rcgamer]

YES!! Such a great song!

[@TheLightAhead]

For me, the best song by Sweet - and possibly one of the best choruses ever composed.

[@DocRock67]

Sweet were one of THE glam rock bands, with big hits such as Fox On The Run. The song you listened to is different, to me it always felt a bit proggy. I was an 11yo boy when this was released, and I remember playing air drums to it. BTW, I’m glad you listened to the full version. Back when it was a hit the radio stations usually played the 7”, because the long one wasn’t radio compatible. My favourite station sometimes played the long version, later in the evening.

[@scottanderson8420]

You guys are very thoughtful and through to repost again. ❤️❤️

[@rodpope7838]

Thank you so much for reviewing the extended version of LILO. I think I may have commented previously but wanted to add a couple of things. This song comes from the Album "Level Headed" (1978) which was their last album as a 4 piece band - they parted with lead singer Brian Connolly shortly after. Level Headed also included two additional musicians. Although much maligned by the press throughout their career I recall one article following it's release that said "Sweet have finally grown up". Absolutely recommend listening to Lettres D'Amour and Fountain at the very least but the whole album is brilliant. I actually use the last track "Air on A Tape Loop" as my morning alarm. You have previously reviewed Man With The Golden Arm by Sweet featuring the amazing Mick Tucker (RIP) on drums - there is a live version of this available and you have recently reviewed Fox On The Run. The thing with Sweet was they were always evolving. Singles typically had heavier B sides - classic albums were Desolation Boulevard (UK version), Sweet Fanny Adams (pre-metal metal that had huge influence on a lot of bands), Give Us A Wink (heavy), Off The Record (next level experimental) and Level Headed. They released three albums as a 3 piece for polydor and went their own ways. Lead Guitarist Andy Scott has pretty much toured with his version of the band since then and has released a number of singles and albums (check out the single X-ray spex). Andy is the sole surviving member and is currently undergoing his final tour - this is accompanied by the newly released album "Full Circle" which is pretty damn good. Fun fact - Bass Player Steve Priest made his first bass himself. For a long while there he loved his rickenbackers.

[@Narpets2112]

The Sweet is the same band as Sweet, they just dropped the "the". You've seen Wayne's World? The song Ballroom Blitz by Cassandra (Wayne's girlfriend) is a song by Sweet.

[@PaPaWizdom]

Had to scroll pretty far to finally find someone telling them, thought I was gonna have to. I explored them heavily about 3 years ago, finally. They were terrific.

[@ericalhalaby7671]

Every school dance in the 70's played Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz". It was their standard. along with their other hits, "Love is like oxygen" and "Fox on the run". I would not be surprised, if it somehow rang a bell...

[@robertoneill1559]

He we go! Best Sweet song imho. Funny that you’re wearing an ELO shirt. They sound a bit alike..

[@thornbird6768]

Probably Sweets best track , remember it well , great recommendation

[@genecase9464]

The 70's. Just great music all the way around. What more needs to be said!

[@monacaravetta]

Great song!!!

[@jeanphilippebaye1713]

The Sweet is a great band. They are the first rock band I heard when I was only 8 years old. And I became a big fan of rock, still today at 60 years old. However, I became a fan of The Who just by reading Tommy's story. Sadly, among the Sweet, only Andy Scott remains. The band still exists, performs concerts and has just released a new album. The other members have passed away. I have a special love for this band. This track analyzed dates from 1978 but I think the video is earlier. Among the Glam Rock bands or artists of the 70s, there are notably: The Slade, T.Rex, Suzi Quatro, David Bowie, Gary Glitter, Roxy Music, ... Thank you for sharing.

[@andrewwhite7868]

So glad you reacted to the alburm version

[@johncarr2806]

They had so many hits, here in England, Funny Funny, Co Co, Papa Joe, Little Willy, Wig Wam Bam, Blockbuster, Ballroom Blitz, Action, The Six Teens, Teenage Rampage, Fox On The Run, Love Is Like Oxygen. Sadly, only Andy Scott is still alive, but he is still touring, and keeping the music alive.

[@tomvenner6030]

Canadian here, love the shirt Nick. Lex, I just saw ELO for the 3rd time, great show.

[@Lee-p6w]

Set me free , is a great fast rock song that has inspired many bands through the years . Nuf said

[@davidmaholchic6146]

Great one love you both

[@damonhines8187]

Good one!! Complete versions for sure! I remember 'Ballroom Blitz', probably 'Fox On the Run' from the 70s, this one may have escaped my attention. Glad I caught up with it. Enjoy your days. 🖖🏼😊🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊

[@beldin2987]

Yeah, that was my favorite band when i was maybe 10-12. I even had a "Bravo Starschnitt" from them at the door of my room 😂🤣 So .. "Slade" next then, or the "Bay City Rollers" ? 😂 Oh, and "The Sweer" is the same i think. Another big hit was for example "Ballroom Blitz".

[@tireshredderjoe8894]

Nice ELO shirt!

[@douglasg.9271]

I saw the other reaction, but I’m gonna watch it again ❤

[@BryanJones-y8p]

Great song to check out by Sweet, a song called Sweet FA, was I think the B side of Ballroom blitz when out as a single, pretty hard rock metal influence and amazing guitar solo

[@markr.devereux3385]

that's a great SWEET track top 10

[@audreyblackburn5759]

This is Glam Rock. This is my favorite new (old) band. I remember them when I was about eight, and rediscovering the group once again. Having a great time. Wonderful songs. They are a hard rock band after the glam era. ( Not metal). 😊

[@pie7312]

Dream on by Sweet is my favorite song.

[@raymondrombouts6552]

Sweet (known as The Sweet until the early 1970s) are a British glam rock band who rose to prominence in the 1970s. Their best-known line-up consisted of lead vocalist Brian Connolly, bassist Steve Priest, guitarist Andy Scott and drummer Mick Tucker.

[@Shabenn]

I can't remember the exact year this came out but I think I was about 8. I remember it on the radio and seeing them perform on various TV shows. They were on a good roll there for a while.

Check out No You Don't and Lies In Your Eyes by Sweet

[@grahamharley4895]

First hearing of the longer version, thanks. A good pop band morphing towards prog?

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

They started in the 60's as a pop band having their songs written by Chinn/Chapman. Then they got tired of being classed as "Bubble Gum Pop" got rid of Chimm and Chapman and started writing their own songs that were far better and rocked really hard. Their album "Give Us A Wink" is bordering on Metal as it's so heavey. It's my favorite album by them as it really "Kicks Ass". Love Sweet they were huge in Canada in the 70's. Bought all the albums and 45 rpm singles too.

[@stormyuhrich9976]

You gotta do Ballroom Blitz by Sweet. A big hit in the day

[@johnr4459]

fountain off the same album is an exellent song, then there is the full prog one, air on a tape loop, sweet does pink floyd, another great prog'ish track is mother earth off the next album cut above the rest, sweet were not a one trick pony by any means

[@markr.devereux3385]

may I mention SOLID GOLD BRASS and later WINDY city.

Hey nick I wait to reaction song set me free the Band the sweet🎸🎸🎸

thought this was ELO first time i hear it

[@続ける君ver.5]

Great harmony, possibly better than the Beatles.

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

Hi heard Queen was aware of them too as they also had vocal harmonies.

[@honeybrown1997]

My former favorite brother hated the extended version. 😑😂

[@tzcomp]

You need to react to Hayseed Dixie "Keeping Your Poop In A Jar".

[@VIDSTORAGE]

They sound quite like ELO with this song I think ..It is far different from the vibe you get from Desolation Boulevard album US version. ,,The UK album has different line up of songs and it is not as good

[@Southbound63]

These were around when I was at school, their fans were mostly girls at that time, pop rubbish. They did some heavier stuff later.

I love you.

[@BrianR.]

What's with these reposts, re-uploads? Have you run out of ideas for content? There's still lots of good music out there, if you guys need suggestions I have lots. I'm a Patreon member and honestly I don't get this.

[@NicknLex]

It was re uploaded because the video got blocked by the record company. It had over 10 thousand views and the sponsor even reached out asking about it, so after editing it got unblocked and we realized adding it back to the channel felt like the right thing to do. All we needed to do was cover up the video in the corner. I think we could never run out of ideas but we appreciate your feedback as always, Brian👍
