Mick Tucker is a great drummer!! Andy Scott is a great guitar player, Steve Priest is a great bass player , Brian Connolly is a great front man and Singer. They all can sing great. Put them all together and you have one of the greatest bands of all time!! Sweet deserves to be recognized and they belong in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame!! Long live Sweet forever!!🎤🎸🎵🎹🥁

[@michaelknight4424]

Dianne Carpenter spot on such a great era and the sweet are the stand out group , the seventies ohh to be able to go back , truly happy times. Woodroffe

[@mariannemctaggart3373]

Brian Connoly is not a great front man, he just stands there he does not really interact with the crowd if you're a good front man you need to interact with the crowd you know find that one person that's not getting off on your show and make them get off. Now I'm not saying that Brian Connolly can't sing, he does that quite well he just needs to interact more with his band and more with the crowd. it's a shame he won't be able to do that now ,maybe the guys up in heaven will teach him. Hey you know if there's a rock and roll heaven you know they got a hell of a band, and what he doesn't know they'll teach him. Rest in peace all good members of sweet,and Andy Scott we're still glad you're around and you're a hell of a guitar player., And a great singer. Andy if you read any reviews on yourself I compare you guys to Queen I said if I could compare these guys to anybody it would be Queen with their vocals in the way they all collaborate with each other. Fantastic . You guys rocked

@@diannecarpenter7718 I'm sorry to say no I have not .but some his videos I can see that he doesn't do much action on stage as like some other bands do and I'm not saying theyre not a great band because they are an excellent band I really like them a lot I just wish Brian Connolly was a little more of a showman he had a beautiful voice they all had excellent voices I compare them to Queen and queen did an interview once and said that they are influenced by Sweet they are very underrated people don't give them the credit that they deserve I love them I think Steve priest and Andy Scott play together great and we're able to interact with each other. check out the song Sweet fa you will see how well they work together. I am in no way bad-mouthing the band the band is fantastic I'm just simply saying that Brian Connolly could have been a little bit more involved that's all.

Mick Tucker is probably the most underrated drummer ever. Fact is that he was one of the best. World class top notch drummer.

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

+Justin Case Absolutely. Technique, knowledge, entertaining showmanship and genuine poise behind the kit, power, sensitivity, inventiveness , seemingly boundless energy and also being possessed of a commanding presence ... Mick was a fabulous drummer !

[@anjaschmied2799]

+TheHumbuckerboy I agree with your comments !!!!! He was unique !!!!!!!

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

Yes, it is a shame that his name isn't mentioned enough whenever people are discussing all-time great rock drummers because Mick deserves to be placed right up there amongst the best ever IMO.

[@redrheino]

have to admit Justin, never seen this footage before but this is breath taking good.........the man with the golden arm wowwwww

[@ThePaulv12]

He is all of those things. I can't remeber exactly who said it but it may have been Andy Scott, but whoever it was said of Mick that, "He was the best little drummer this country has ever produced." (OWTTE). Considering Mick's contemporaries, high praise indeed. Cozy Powell, Ginger Baker, John Bonham, Keith Moon, Ian Paice, Nick Mason are 4 or 5 of his contemporaries that readily come to mind. Mick Tucker is rarely included in such lofty company but for the life of me - and probably you, I don't understand why ??

Sadly this is the side of the Sweet that we didn't get to see very often, they were such a great band.

[@NigelT57]

I have said on another video that I saw both versions of the band. The teenybopper version were excellent and entertaining, but I went and saw them two years later and they had reverted to their original style of playing, which they are so obviously happier doing. Those doubting Brian's input during a live gig are wrong - he was belting it out far better than a lot of contemporary 'heavy bands' singers were [and that includes Geordie ,whose lead singer went on to other things apparently...........]. Don't forget he had to be the 'pretty boy too :)

What a legend. What a time keeper. What a master of the beat. Amazing how he could drum and twirl his drum stick (longer than others I have seen at) the same time. Pure entertainment. Truly the man with the golden arm. Sadly gone before his time. His legacy to music still lives on.

Because twirling a fucking drumstick means you HAVE to be a great drummer, right? Look at all the great drummers, Baker, Paice, Bonham, Moon, Powell Starr etc. they didn't/don't, do fancy twirls they just play great drums.

[@TELFORD96]

@@CB-xr1eg Fool. He didn't just twirl the drumsticks as you put it. He could really play. He had fantastic style and his timing was impeccable. I saw 3 of those others you mention above playing live at various concerts during my youth. Although very good they did not match Mick Tucker in my honest opinion. He could also sing very well which is something the others couldn't do. The fact that he could twirl those sticks the way he did during his drumming sessions and still keep up with his timing and rhythm was an indication of just how good he was. I actually remember as a teenagers around 1972 time, Mick tucker been described by some critics as one of the best young drummers to come out of England.

[@Reiner.Zufall]

Das lag daran, dass The Sweet damals eine Teenie-Band waren. Sie konkurrierten seinerzeit mit den Bay City Rollers und Smokie und nicht mit den Stones, Deep Purple oder Queen. Als Teenie-Band abgestempelt, wollte niemand The Sweet ernsthaft als Rock-Band wahrnehmen. Dafür hatten sie einen sehr großen kommerziellen Erfolg. Leider haben sie es im Laufe der Zeit nicht mehr geschafft, ihr Image weg von der Teenie-Pop-Band hin zu einer ernst zunehmenden Rockband zu entwickeln! Im Gegensatz zu so mancher Pop-Band, waren The Sweet tatsächlich richtig gute und fähige Musiker, die ihre Instrumente beherrschten. Durch ihre großen Erfolge mit ihren Pop-Hits waren sie jedoch längst abgestempelt. So sind sie dann letztendlich als eine der vielen, einst so erfolgreichen Teenie-Pop-Bands, in die Musik-Geschichte eingegangen - und wurden auch ziemlich schnell wieder vergessen. Tragisch. Denn eigentlich steckte viel mehr dahinter. 😞

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Mick Tucker in the summer of 1990 in San Diego, California. He was an amazing person, a real gentleman, and probably the most underrated drummer in rock history.

Long live the memory of Mick Tucker and the music of Sweet.

I think most of the 70's adolescents who only know them from those Chinn/Chapman bubblegum hits Like CoCo, Poppa Joe, Funny Funny etc. will be flabbergasted seeing this (unless they took the effort to listen to the flipside of these singles....like "Done me wrong allright" which was THE eye/ear opener for me), but it's great to see and hear The Sweet doing what they really wanted to do. They were a fantastic heavy rock band and could easily fit in with Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin etc.

Well.........My flabber has never been so gasted. Not ever. I always thought of Mick as just an average drummer in a glam rock band that I used to like in the 70's. BUT how wrong can I be? Mick was absolutely totally and utterly brilliant...and so were Andy and Steve. Mick was good enough to play in a rock band. a heavy metal band, a jazz band or an orchestral band. WHAT A SUPER-STAR AND MAESTRO PERFORMANCE FROM MICK. In fact this is in the top three performances of any band I have seen in my life. I can only shake my head in disbelief at what I have just witnessed. I honestly felt physically and emotionally drained after seeing this classic performance. Brian. Mick, Steve, Andy, you are and will forever remain in my top three bands of all time after this. It has opened my eyes and a St Paul epiphany has overcome me. Andy mate. Your superb guitar playing talent is recognised. Steve, I wish you had stayed around a lot longer my mate. We miss your showmansip and talent. You are all we have left of the days when there were guys with so much expertise and skill that it was running out of their ears...and Sweet proved they were more than capable of holding a torch for the rest of the wannabe's to follow and look up to. Thank you fellas. Long life Andy. and GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

[@ugurgorgulu5659]

When I go to the workplace, I play my mix of songs. Most of them are from The Sweet. I listen without getting tired. Blockbuster, CO-CO, Ballroom Blitz, Fox on the run, and the others... Sometimes I watch Brian's recent appearances. I see what has become of that blond idol and I cry. He started life already defeated, an unfortunate man. Just imagine if your mother left you at the hospital and walked away. If you were raised as an adopted child, what would you think, how would you hold a grudge against life? I think about these things and it breaks my heart. The world is so merciless. It can turn one of the most beautiful men in the world into a wreck in his 40s. We don't know what's boiling in his heart, what kind of volcanoes are erupting inside him! His addiction to alcohol, his smoking habit - these destructive habits were likely reactions to the despicable things his parents did to him, but it cost him his life. His heart couldn't take it. He could have continued his music career for much longer, but he left life prematurely. Tears always come to my eyes as I watch him in the music videos of The Sweet from the 70s. In an interview from '95, I can't watch it, I'm overcome with sobs. And Mick, oh my God, what can I say about Mick! I've never seen someone play drums like him in my life. Tall, athletic, a handsome dark-skinned man. Watching him fills me with even greater sadness. Perhaps the tragic death of his wife Pauline at home, maybe that was the beginning of his illness. He, the king of drums, of trumpets, dies of leukemia at 55, and that hurts me deeply. That's why I can't listen to them anymore. I love these guys so much. Knowing they're gone and still watching them hurts, it aches, it's incredibly painful. Steve brings some comfort, at least he died at 72, doing what he loved with his wife and daughters. But Mick, Brian? Wasn't a great injustice done to them? I'm crying again...

Can't get enough of when they come back in after Mick's count at 6:07. That is just so bad ass!

He was damn good on that horizontal drum kit.

WOW WOW WOW I have never seen this before but WOW Mick is just sensational on the drums I love to watch him spinning his drum sticks and this video certainly gives me my fix in that department. Really loved The Sweet in the 70's I so wish they were all still with us, there has never been anyone to come close to the magic 4 just love them all.
