Unbelievable! One of the most original songs (so different from anything else they did) and one of the most talented bands in history, in my opinion. Gonna watch it again. Completely awesome!

Brian and Steve’s voices blended very well together.

[@LStuart762]

They playing well together & it's funny , rather it's notable seems to step up together ( in ode to connecting . Like inconspicuously...know what I mean ?

[@silviazanicotti5054]

Brian and Steve: the two sides of the same coin, one was the tormented, serious, dramatic side, the other the funny, playful, histrionic side. Different and equal...in life they were bound together by a sincere and affectionate friendship, now they are together in death...with them also Mick and we can really say that the best are gone...

And my favorite song is The Sixteens, though I love all their songs, like Solid Gold Brass, The Man With The Golden Arm, No You Don´t, Fever of Love, Poppa Joe, Wig Wam Bam, Little Willy and so on.....:) !!!

1974. There's guys were sooooo influential.

[@glamgal7106]

I had to watch this again in order to fully absorb the plethora of talent that Sweet showed in this performance. Their musicianship and vocal abilities knew no limits. IMO Brian, Steve, Andy and Mick each had uniqueness which factored in their success. I saw some type of interaction between Mick and Brian--seeing Mick smile told me that he enjoyed performing as I've no doubt so did the other band members. *2:01* Bravo to Steve for adding a bit of vibrato to "Ahhhhhhr-sole."

[@secondchance6603]

The bubblegum hits they had were written by Chinn and Chapman the heavy stuff (this) is their own creation, like night and day. I grew up with Sweet and have many fond memories (and singles) of them, many thanks for this and the other tracks from Musikladen. Edit: Subscribed

Saw Sweet circa 1979 when they opened for Foghat in Hershey, PA. They blew EVERYONE away that night. Excellent concert!! Desolation Boulevard is still one of my favorite albums today!!

[@jillrice2076]

Great to see bits of this " Musikladen" performance appearing on KZbin. This is a brilliant track,it's ahead of it's time in my opinion and really demonstrates how versatile the individual band members were. Definitely one to file under " not a bubble gum band."! ( And Steve forgetting his lyrics around 2.0:2 is lovely :-) )

[@paivipartanen8468]

I agree. Sweet surprised me again and again.....I was just a child, when I listened Sweet and I loved the songs, that were so easy to sing along. But here on KZbin I have seen and listened Sweet, which is a pop band, a hard rock band and something like this.....wonderful!!!! I have no words, but I love this Sweet so much!!! Where are you from? I´m from Finland.

[@danswain3465]

I agree totally, although in later years i believe the rest of the band underestimated the brilliant vocals of Brian Connelly. Totally underestimated as musicians , where they killed was as a band .Individually after Sweet ....

[@mimipavlovsky]

Brian was one of my Big Childhood crushes (even got the haircut when I was 8). BUT Mick overtook it. That Drumming. I can watch him for ages. I picked up the Drums for awhile, just didn't have the Discipline. My Teenage Niece has picked up the drums and do I give her the encouragement to keep going... So there is something there, that makes me love watching a good Drummer. Jerry Nolan from New York Dolls was another great Drummer to watch. And they're not over the top or need Fancy Stage Props (Tommy Lee - Motley Crue) Just good strong Drummers. BUT Mick Tucker, ahhhhh to have been a young Adult back in the 1970's, to see this all live, watch him play. I also love watching the interactions between him and Steve Priest, you have to keep an eye on them, it's really 'sweet'. Hope they're having a great time together with Brian, wherever they are - 'There is a Rock'n'Roll Heaven' so the song goes...

[@Olegzyan]

amazing drummer! just fantastic!

[@Mick_Ts_Chick]

@@mimipavlovsky I agree about Mick. Fantastic. I love watching him in these Musikladen videos. He really shows so much personality and happiness and is totally in his element with this kind of music. I've heard people say he seemed shy, but not to me. He always seems ok talking at interviews, and he has some funny stage antics and shout-outs in concerts. Just seems so fun to have known. RIP dear Mick. We miss you (and Brian and Steve too).💗

Andy Scott - master of his lead guitar craft.

[@paivipartanen8468]

I agree. I must say, that Andy´s guitar playing remember to me Jimi Hendrix, in the positive way, you know? Andy´s playing was SO GOOD, I LOVE IT!!!! Where are yo from? I´m from Finland.

[@LondonDada]

Sure. A very under-rated guitar talent of that epic era.

[@LondonDada]

We're from London. Andy would have fitted right in with D. Purple / Led Zep / Black Sabb if any of their lead guitarists had gone the way of the great Jimi H.

[@michaelcameron2292]

[@hallamhal]

I was thinking at 1:48 how Mick yells "Yeah!" and how supportive that was given Brian's voice was still recovering, and how that was a really lovely moment. And then Steve sang "arseholes" and I burst out laughing.

[@tmx63]

My take as well, that Mick was digging that Brian pulled off his part so well.

Thanks for putting this stuff up for everyone to watch. For old fans like me, it's a great blast from the past. Cheers!!!!!

[@paivipartanen8468]

Hi! Where are you from? I´m from Finland. Me too, I was just a kid, when I heard Sweet on the radio. Fox On The Run. I had my very first record player and I recorded Fox On The Run. Then I heard on the radio Finnish songs, but they were the cover versions about Sweet´s Wig Wam Bam, Little Willy and so on. Now, as an adult, I have found Sweet again here in KZbin and more and more songs.....The Sweet was/is a WONDERFUL band, I get never tired to listen Sweet`s songs. I love also Musikladen, but all Sweet videos are so, so good....What is your favorite song? Mine is The Sixteens, but all are so good. What is your favorite of Sweet? I love them all, but Steve is my favorite...he has something more than anybody else....

[@hashysh13]

I'm in Canada (Montreal QC), but grew up in the Maritimes (New Brunswick) and my family used to take trips to the USA, mostly Maine and Massachusetts, and I'd buy records, mostly 45's, for like 25 - 50 cents, and 2 of those singles were Ballroom Blits and Fox On The Run. From there, I heard them on K-tel compilations (mostly Little Willy) and then I got a copy of Desolation Boulevard and it blew my mind! Just like these videos did. Are they commercially available, the Musikladen performances? I haven't seen it advertised anywhere, but I guess I haven't really looked too hard. I'll have a look now.

[@mickwarnie8707]

+hashysh13 this concert is part of a box dvd set called action the ultimate story

[@hashysh13]

+mick Warnie I have since figured that one out, I'm just waiting 'til I can afford to order one. Unfortunately, there's a lot of stuff on there I don't really want. I was hoping the live disc would have something with the original line up but it's all 86 and 92. Isn't there a full concert of their show at the Rainbow in 73 that I thought i saw here one time, but I guess not because I'm sure it'd be there, and a lot of the old TV appearances have dubbed audio and the band lip syncing to it (I know, it was the 70's and loltv sound engineers didn't do so well mixing music for tv), but overall it's worth having. I'll just try to get one on the cheap is all. Thanks for the info though, I still appreciate it even if I already knew about it. Cheers!!!!!

[@michaelalbertson7457]

Status Quo had 3 singers, but they were not as creative as Sweet. And 2 of them started the band but only co wrote 2 songs, Rossi and Lancaster. One was after they turned down the guitars in the studio, bad move for serous Quo fans, but the other one, on the last turn up the guitars studio album, Blue For (the rest of) You, called Status Quo in the States, had a song title that caught my attention, I had been doing a lot of thinking about my life. It was, Is There A Better Way? I wondered the same thing. Long story short, I learned God was good, so I became a Christian. Forever, no more bad things, only joy. Sign me up!
