What stands out in this documentary is that the Sweet, unlike other musical acts of any era, didn't develop an "I'm holier than thou" attitude as a result from their success. Mick clearly said that the band owed their success to their fans who bought their records, "otherwise we wouldn't be here." I've seen videos of the Sweet performing in concert and it was obvious that they wanted to ensure that their fans were enjoying themselves--e.g. they'd get them to sing with them, like: Sweet: "Little Willy Willy won't..." Fans: "go home." I've been to shows where the musical act could care less about the audience and I'd think, "Well he/she seemed to forget who paid to listen to him/her perform." Musically, the Sweet utilized different techniques, I'm speaking about this as a musician. Among what was characteristic of their musical style included their vocal harmonies, sometimes arpeggiated towards Andy's falsetto, Brian's vocal range and versatility as a lead singer and \ Steve's ability to not only be a lead singer but provide his famous "cameo" since "Wig Wag Bam." If I'm not mistaken, all four band members have taken the role as lead singer. Instrumentally, they also made use of arpeggios--best example is the "Fox on the Run" riff--and "call and response"--"Rebel Rouser," as heard in the exchange, "Who is the face that's gonna set the pace?/I'm a rocker, I'm a roller, I'm an outer space" among other musical techniques. OK you're probably bored by all this...I'm saying this from a musician's point of view because I really believe that the Sweet didn't get the full credit that they deserved. When I was introduced to them, I thought that I found "auditory gold."

So very true. I saw many concerts in my lifetime. I remember being soooo excited to see The Cars in the 80s. What a sad reality. They sang for maybe a bit over an hour and never uttered a word to the audience, never tried any sort of audience participation etc. It was painful and robotic. Great music, shitty people. Not long ago when singer Rik Ocasek died, it wasn't any shock to me that he left his ex-wife penniless, even though they were still friendly and she stayed with him to nurse him until the disease finally killed him. She had to borrow money for food and he had no one else close to him in life. Apparently, he was a true jerk. Also, Ted Nugent was trash. I was fourth row and all he did was scream and hit on all the girls down front. What he sounded like on records wasn't obvious in concert. Blackfoot opened and they blew him away. My most favorite surprise was Genesis. Free tickets and I definitely did not want to go. Exceedingly great experience. Phil Collins was a hella showman and vocalist, drummer too. Sat front row for Styx in their early 80s prime. THAT was amazing

Long time gone now. Now i am 58 and i don't listen anymore the Sweet but from time to time i go on UTube to remind myself on the best years of my life.

@@KateLickerThere was never a lawsuit. Bohemian Rhapsody is a song with 50 cords, mostly classical cords, Freddie Mercury started writing the song in 1968. It is progressive rock. Queen was never a glam rock group, they did hard rock, progressive rock and metal in their early years, their albums are full of songs about King, Queens, ogres and fairies. The only song that you could perhaps describe as glam rock is Killer Queen, it is still a far more complex song then the usual glam rock (with 29 different cords). The Sweet is a great band, but they did basic 4 - 6 cord rock, there is nothing wrong with that, but it is simply a very different sounds, it is like comparing apples and oranges. During this time a lot of people pretended to be camp, Freddie Mercury was naturally camp, it was not a show he put on. Queen also wrote all of their own material, and that makes a big difference. Queen remained popular and a high charting band for over 20 years, The Show Must Go was a top 5 charting song one month before Freddie Mercury's death, and he also did some of his best singing just before his death. It is really difficult to remain relevant and productive for so long. The Sweet was a really talented band, they definitely had potential to do more. They were starting to do some interesting stuff in the late 70's, so it is a shame they could not remain together for longer. They are really perhaps the only glam rock band that really had potential beyond glam rock.

Like technology? Visit here! I agree! I tried to turn my nephew on to them but he wouldn’t have any of it! His loss cause today’s music doesn’t hold a candle except very very rarely!

One of the many things I love about Sweet, is that they never seemed to take themselves as seriously as so many of their peers at the time did. In the early to mid 70’s, rock stars were treated like these immortal gods - bigger than life and untouchable to the teeming masses of mere mortal fans... and it really went to their heads in most cases. Sweet seemed like they didn’t play by those rules. I’ve heard many stories from people who saw them back then that they actually liked to meet and mingle with their fans, at a time when most bands just went straight into the limo after the gig. And obviously Steve loved to play the class clown role to the extreme... much in the same way that Rick Nielsen from Cheap Trick did a few years later. They just seemed much more accessible than other big acts of the day, which might be one reason they weren’t taken as seriously by the critics and the music media. They were very ‘punk’ in that way.

The loss of Brian Connolly is big as it was deeply in love with him as a teenager. Love devouring them.
Mit einer der geilsten Gruppen der 1970er Jahre, ich habe sie ❤ geliebt

I agree with Poot Daggy here. To me, Sweet were very much in-step with the times that they were at peak popularity in (ie. 1973-1976). They pretty much DEFINED those times. It’s not a bad thing either. Those were great times! Their music still holds up well even today, but it’s very much a thing of the 70’s. They definitely influenced a lot of bands that came later, but I don’t think I’d say they were ‘ahead’ of their time. They just summed up their time much better than most other bands from the same era. The music still sounds fresh and exciting.

Viper GTS I have to agree with you! They weren’t just a fun band, they could really jam with the best of them! Many bands of this era were bubble gum! Many thought they were too. But when they really started doing their own tunes more and more it proved they were more than a simpleton type band! If they came out in the nineties they would have still produced top hits! Way way ahead of their time!!!

Qué emocion me provoca verlos hablar, no solo cantar. Verlos reir, probarse la ropa linda que usaban en sus conciertos. Por fin los he conocido. Yo tenia 13 años cuando los escuché por primera vez en la radio en Ecuador.. Recuerdo cada una de las canciones que llegaron hasta allá. Se puso de moda la ropa plateada y los zapatos con plataforma en mujeres y hombres y vendian en las tiendas los Tatuines que se mojaban y se presionaban en la piel y se quedaba la figura de colores con brillos, asi como ellos usaban en la cara. Ahora con 63 años me compré el triple CD de ellos y todavia bailo como cuando tenia 13. Sus canciones son tan interesantes y llenas de vida. Son explosivas. Gracias por haber existido. Seguiran vivos hasta el dia de mi muerte.

They were one of the few super pop teen idol ultra successful bands that actually had talent! Each member of that band were virtuosos in their own right.

Wow! Just freaking wow! As a Hispanic 59 year old man listening to The Sweet as a teen with memories of friends and when life back back in the day wasn't so messed up was so meaningful.Seeing the hard work and determination to be a the best,and their love and dedication to their fans makes me love them and their music even more. The Sweet wasn't a good band The Sweet was a great band! My regret was not seeing them live.

LOVELY!!!!! I haven´t seen this before. I´m so, so happy, that I found this documentary. Watching this documentary made me feel so....joyful, feel different feelings, but only the positive ones. I´m confused. How this band could be SO GOOD !!!! I have always loved The Sweet and it´s one of my favorite bands, I love all their songs and I love all of them: Steve, Brian, Mick, Andy, but especially Steve, I must say. I have seen all of their music videos here in KZbin and loved them. But I haven´t seen any document films about The Sweet before this. This was so wonderful, that I´m wordless. More document films like this, please!!! I LOVE THIS
