That was not live, that was a planted fake audience put on a studio version.

[@russallert]

@@brenthenderson3983 It was performed live, with some of the studio recording added on during the instrumental break. It definitely sounds different than the original recording.

[@burtonmediaprod]

Check out Pat Benetar's version.

[@sassymess7111]

Jamel, I think someone is pretending to be you.

[@farrellvanessa]

Good observation at the intro:) Brian (lead singer) cut Steve (bass) off. Steve was always very animated:) They had great banter. RIP Brian, Steve and Mick. Love this rehersal. These Musikladen videos are a Sweet fan's dream!

[@irenedownie6559]

Mick Tucker has to be the most underrated drummer ever!!! He was phenomenal, but sadly gone too soon.

[@chrisc9389]

my favorite drummer Irene!! He had it all!!!!

[@irenedownie6559]

@@chrisc9389 He really did!!! I’ll never understand why he wasn’t seen as being in the same bracket as Cozy Powell and John Bonham.

[@dawncapps5172]

Four talented musicians. So underrated.

[@alanstrom2221]

Sweet are not under rated at all. They are highly respected.

[@michaelbickel5550]

Man, I love The Sweet. So many great tunes!

[@rodpope7838]

Pat Benetar covered this song as her first single. Many have covered their songs.... This track is off the Album Sweet Fanny Adams and this video is taken from an unreleased special recorded for the German tv show Musikladen. If you want to see the drummer (Mick Tucker) at his best watch the "Man With The Golden Arm" footage from this show. One of the most under rated rock drummers ever.

[@phillarsson8253]

They were covered by numberous bands on from rock(abilly) to punk (the Damned, Vice Squad,...) and metal (Scorpions, Raven, Saxon, Def Leppard,...) and sold millions of records.

[@kaybee4143]

You are so right about Mick Tucker. I've never seen his name listed in any Top 100 polls (not that it really matters) rating rock drummers. The title of under rated gets tossed around lightly nowadays. Here, it is absolutely appropriate.

[@juanramirez-wk8ty]

Awesome band often overlooked and sadly forgotten, very heavy and ahead of their time, a big influence on the future of metal that came after.

[@NyMyers64]

Great band, awesome drumming from Mick Tucker RIP.

[@gotham61]

The Sweet and Slade were two mid 70s British bands that a lot of us boys dismissed at the time because the girls all liked them, but in retrospect it's easy to see how brilliant they were.

[@geddyleesdaman]

Btw Don Powell of Slade, and Andy Scott play as part of a supergroup called QSP. The Q is Suzie Quatro

[@paulmckearney4945]

That call and response vocal between lead singer Brian and bass player Steve was a big part of their act. It features in many of the big hits too like Fox on the Run, Blockbuster and many more...

[@thunderspike1892]

Loved that you did this. The Musikladen 1974 show was great. Take a look at Solid Gold Brass, Sweet FA and The Six Teens. There are also Man with the Golden Arm which was written by Elmer Bernstein for the 1955 movie starring Frank Sinatra and Kim Novak. Shows how great musicians they were

[@waynehauser3611]

How bloody good is this band live ! Sad ending but a hell of a ride ! Peace and love from Australia brother ! 🤘😈🤘

[@philliptree1742]

[@philliptree1742]

Yesssss!!!!!

[@brandonio_granger]

You definitely need to react to all the songs that were played on this particular live performance. SWEET absolutely fucking rocked,they were the precursor to speed metal of the 80's.

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

I agree.

[@peaked_aussie]

Or at least ""the man with the golden arm" for that drum solo...

[@irenedownie6559]

Yes!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@toddstevens13]

The Sweet, changed Lead Vocalists from song to song, and as you noticed, also traded off Lead Vocals in the same song, some times several times during a song. Allowed them to be the most varied Rock Group of all time going from Saccharine Ballad's like Love Is Like Oxygen, to Pop Rock, Fox On The Run, Little Willie, all the way to the first Speed Metal songs in Sweet FA, and Set Me Free. Enjoy the rabbit hole.

[@PlasticGirl65]

Brian came in to early hence Steve giving him the look 🤣

[@jameskirschling7887]

Jamel, as soon as I got the notification for this video I clicked on it. I have requested this song before. This is one of my favorites by Sweet. Normally I would say listen to the studio version but this Live version killed it. This shows how good Sweet really was. More songs to listen to that are rockers like this one are: AC-DC, The Sixteens, Solid Gold Brass, Sweet FA, Set Me Free and I Wanna Be Committed.

[@micknordstrom2591]

Thank you Jamal for reacting to this gem! Sweet was a fantastick rock band!!!

[@sandramule2412]

So glad you’re getting into their harder stuff! By far one of my favorite bands. Try the song Action and Set me Free

[@davidsteber7601]

And Windy City!

[@richalderson6069]

The blonde lead singer Brian Connolly didn't sing lead on the record cause he got mugged and kicked in throat so the bass player Steve Priest sang it instead. But as you can see in this this performance they alternate between the verses.

[@Mariazellerbahn]

1:20 The lead singing was shared between Steve and Brian because Brian had been involved in a vicious attack that affected his vocal chords. Songs were written around the incident and Brians voice never recovered.

[@nomasker1360]

Every song on Desolation Boulevard is awesome .

[@sassymess7111]

Love it! Never heard this one. SWEET rocked!

[@melindaramirez3835]

Love Sweet. Check them out live in concert playing Hellraiser or live playing The 6-Teens. They are so good.

[@Steffe]

My favorite band when I was ten years old. And for a few more years.

[@cricket8646]

The Musikladen vids were practice vids foe a German TV show that never happened but they caught SWEET at their best. Playing live !! Most Underrated band in history.

[@honeybadger713]

This band was definitely underrated for their time and they really sounded good live also

I love Sweet, but I hadn't heard this one before .. Great hard rockin' stuff ! .. Thanks for playing this one, Jamel .. Entertaining reaction .. Cheers, Wayne

[@johnr8095]

The reason Steve the singer gives a weird look when Brian stars singing is that the original song was sung be Steve entirely. Brian is the lead singer, but Steve did No You Don’t on record. On this version they trade off lines. My guess is because Brian being the lead singer wanted to be part of the song and didn’t want to be sitting back playing piano or something. Plus,Brian is a monster singer and sung the hell out of it. So they did it where they traded off lyrics. Brian brings a lot of grit to the song singing it with his voice. though Steve is also a great vocalist in his own right). They often do songs where Brian’s sings most of it but Steve interjects a few lines. They set this one the same way. Maybe Steve forgot that they had decided to do the song differently or,he was just giving a look as an inside joke since he was supposed to be the guy who sang the song according to the record. This version is better than the one on record.

[@paulmckearney4945]

I think he was probably looking across to the guitarist to get the timing right for that big cord they hit together.

[@johnr8095]

@@paulmckearney4945 that could be it. It definitely was done differently than on the record. But it wasn’t a mistake in either persons case as they were sharing the lead vocal lines.

[@paulmckearney4945]

@johnr8095 If it was an error, and Brian did cone in early and overlap with Steve, it actually worked brilliantly anyway I thought.

[@debbiescott6732]

Steve (on base) sings the first few words then Brian (lead singer) comes in singing. These guys were great at singing in the same tone, so much so you can barely tell who's singing. I'm a Sweet fan from back in the 1970's.

[@alesiabradley5399]

[@racheltuccio7652]

Yes 👍 I saw them at the do drop In down the street from my grandparents house in Dover NJ circa 1977 or 78 as well as RATT , I was 15 years old , the icing on the cake was seeing Chuck Berry in the same location, boy was he bad ass !

[@amrak5028]

Hey Jamel..... Good to see you doing SWEET> Next is "The Sixteens" Their best cut

[@rodneyprill4618]

Great song

[@pursang6792]

This is when Sweet started writing their own songs. It shows them going into a heavier sound and I loved the change. Mick Tucker was a great drummer and he always put on a show along with the rest of the band. Thanks for doing your reaction on this one. If you do a search for Sweet - Sweet F.A. - Musikladen 20.02.1974 OFFICIAL I think you'll get the shots you mentioned in regards to showing the guys expressions as they play. You might need sunglasses though because they're decked out in shiny outfits. Rest in peace Sweet Fanny Adams.....

[@paulmckearney4945]

This really sounds like one of their own but it was actually written by Mike Chapman. A great example of how Chapman adapted his song-writing later on to match the style of the band.

[@kevinvegas1916]

MORE SWEET 🔥

[@phillarsson8253]

Enjoying your channel here in Belgium, Jamel and I loved this video you did on Sweet. Such a great live band they were!

It’s a REAL shame that the guitarist Andy is the only one still living! Anyway, songs like this are why I own several of their albums!

[@bfernuttz3737]

One of the original great glam bands! New York Dolls, Hanoi Rocks, etc…

[@redmed10]

Never heard this before. Thought it sounded familiar. And then found Crown Of Thorns covered it which I've listened to a lot. Sweet were a great rock band. Perhaps didn't get the credit they deserved because of their glam rock shtick. Their a sides got into the charts but they really rocked on their b sides.

[@tonymoreno748]

Sweet are one of the best bands in the world. They could do it all. Mick Tucker one of the greatest ever drummers ever. Didn't get there dues because of there early bubble gum songs. I put them in the same league as any other 70's rock band but no.1 glam rock band. There songs covered by so many later bands. Far ahead of there time.

[@alanstrom2221]

Having 3 singers in a Band comes in very handy.

Hey Jamal I grew up in the 80s in the hood and I'm a musician I record a lot of my own songs I really love how much you are into music and I love the Dead and Rush and all that... My request, brother, is a song called "tribe vibes" by Jungle Brothers. I know you can't deny the beat or the rhythm They are from NYC pleeeeaaase listen to it.😊

I recently read that this was Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinns attempt to write a song that was like one that the band penned themselves.

It's hard to see Sweet performing live in 1974, there are few records and this one was rediscovered a few years ago, for example, there wasn't a recording (even more so video) of them playing "No You Don't" from the Sweet Fanny Adams album from 1974.
