The Sweet - Sixties man - Gallaxy show 1980

[@SweetLep1961]

Beautiful Stevie Priest 💜❤️🌹🥀

[@horstlemke9591]

Es ist so traurig mit anzusehen, wie dieser einmalige Drummer und Mensch, so ein leidiges Schicksal bis zum Schluß durchleben musste. Auch dieser Song zeigt, wie vielseitig The Sweet waren, Mick Tucker ist für mich heute noch einer besten Drummer auf der Welt, hatte ein einmaliges Rhythmus Feeling, ein klasse Groove, richtig treibend. Beste Grüße, Horst Lemke, Musikproduzent, Germany Ps. The Sweet haben meine gesamte Jugendzeit musikalisch geprägt!

[@helgast5716]

Hallo Horst Hast du vollkommen Recht, sein Schicksal war grausig. Pauline stirbt,er mit Tochter alleine,Bruder stirbt in Zypern, schlimmer geht nicht mehr. MICK ist bis heute noch der beste Schlagzeuger den es je gab.🙏

[@Ulli_G._aus_D.]

Mick Tucker wird erst dann tot sein, wenn sich niemand mehr an seinen Namen erinnert. Im letzten Jahrtausend gab es nur eine handvoll Drummer mit seinem Knowhow. John Bonham, Roger Taylor, Lars Ulrich, Christoph Schneider sind für mich die überragenden Drummer unserer Zeit, aber Mick ist für mich der unumstrittene Boss am Schlagzeug.

[@2shores451]

Mick war ein ganz grosser an den Drums und ich hatte die Ehre ihn in 1988 persoenlich nach einem Gig kennenzulernen. Ein Gentleman und toller Mensch.

[@agoogleuser4443]

Poor Mick looks so bored here. It kind of hurts to see him here vs the Musik Laden videos in 74 where he was so happy and vivacious. He had such drumming joy then. Here it is all gone.😔RIP dear Mick. You can play the kind of music you love where you are now!

[@KaaneDragonShinobi]

Probably because Brian Connolly was a terminal druggie at the time, and the Sweet was struggling after Love is Like Oxygen. He's there to pick up a paycheck...genuinely a shame that something you love can become bereft of joy under the wrong circumstances. Guy could probably drum blindfolded and still keep his fills clean and on beat.

RIP Steve Priest

Any Sweet is better than none. Thanks for the post. :-)

[@666BEASTY]

You just have to admire the greatest drummer ever born. So tight and OMG he punishes those drums. RIP. Amazing video and a very catchy song

[@tmx63]

The only punishment those drums faced was having to play this song.

[@deborascott2893]

Love the way you worded that "punishes" those drums, oh yeah baby! Mick was one of the best drummers. And he always did "punish" those drums. 👍

[@debbiescott6732]

My grandson deleted all my KZbin videos and Subscriptions so now I'm trying to find them all. And there's my comment above from 4 months ago. This is going to take awhile. Still love these guys. ❤👍

Now this is how Steve should look ..Even when your older you can still have that beautiful red hair ............

Jan Meyers Steve’s gorgeous period

[@alynealvesdelima701]

i love steve

[@domenicogrossi2952]

Certainly not the classic sweet music but it is always a pleasure to listen to.

[@backpages9885]

I always thought the lyrics were "because I'm a sixties man at heart, and baby so are you", but now I found out it's "I'm a sixties man and it's hard, maybe so are you"

[@anagraham9124]

It sounds to me like the former, not the latter.

[@RockbertoRocks]

Awesome video with The Mighty Sweet... and the even more mighty mightiest Mick Tucker!

[@juliearch1]

great!!! not sure how this did in charts..for 80's would have been cool..of course Mick's style of drumming is unique, effortless because he had his own style....x RIP MICK xx

[@martinpringle8695]

Unfortunately lost without Brian.

[@judithgrabencamp4246]

Very nice , love it !!

Love the close ups of Mick!❤

Lastima que no siguieron

[@maiteboixmunoz1843]

Si, pero falta Brian Connolly. Ojalá hubieran seguido los cuatro juntos.

[@tedkay_music]

Cool!

[@jeffvinci1348]

In ogni caso...li adoro!

[@laksmiradharaniaguilarmart69]

Even here was Steve's voice pioneer - ask reo speedwagon 😉

[@odettegali7779]

Without Brian???

[@debbiescott6732]

I know. Brian went on to a solo career but then formed his own Sweet band later. He had so many personal issues and problems. It's sad, sure wish he could have overcome them but he couldn't and they took his life way too soon. 💔

[@johnobrien8910]

great song and band they should have replaced brian it worked for lots of bigger bands could have worked for them we will never.no saw brains sweet twice.wasnt sweet. first time he collapsed on stage and 2nd like the first his voice wasn't good and backing a piss poor version of sweet.its 50 years of sweet now hope andy and steve keep rocking

[@tmx63]

I thought Paul Mario Day did a fantastic job when he took over lead vocals in Andy's version of Sweet. A real shame what happened to Brian though.

[@henrikpersson8741]

It is defenetly not Sweet without Brian Connoly!

Mick looks ok but Andy looks like an ELO clone

[@raylaux8295]

Love is Like Oxygen 1977 on ELO Disco influence no doubt

[@andreasuhlbrandt6743]

Steve told, he didn´t like this song and he didn´t understand why they didn´t show him more on this video, on video, what ever....Steve wanted to be the star after Brian, but the real star was Andy, (Steve never could have been) who was the corner stone since mid 70´s after Brian lost his interest to keep band up.

[@luciaorellana4766]

[@kimdawcatgirl]

I think wanting to be a star, as well as a good musician, is the goal of all people in this field. Like actors, dancers, etc. It goes with the mindset of wanting to be on stage performing. If they didn't want to be stars, they would become Respiratory therapist's like me.

[@juliearch1]

The three of them great musicians and versatile so I kind of disagree....all good singers..i have an inkling there was a clash between Steve and Andy..pity they did not carry on

[@anagraham9124]

I don't think Steve wanted to be the star and the lead singer, he was just kind of thrust into the position. I don't know why Andy didn't take the position since it's kind of what he wanted all along.

[@bronislawzbylut308]

Bez Brajana to nie Sweet czegos brakuje

[@Павел-е7ф5ж]

What happened to Mick? Why did he play with his arms crossed?

[@KaaneDragonShinobi]

i think for right handed drummers it's usually easier to do faster things with the right side. It is for me on piano.

Unfortunately this is the worst of the 80s sound. Don't get me wrong I love/d The Sweet 70s.

[@howardeyeno7436]

yeah, probably should have called it quits about 8 years prior !!😀

[@Merca230e]

Fuck you too, shit for brains!!

[@howardeyeno7436]

That's a very intelligent come back!!😁

[@agoogleuser4443]

Are you kidding? Their best work was done from about 74 to 76-all the hard rock stuff that was so great! If they quit in 72 we would have missed their best years!

[@fritscoerse8749]

Nep, ik vind 't helemaal niks! Doe mij de echte Sweet.

[@thorstenkehde3453]

Sorry but for me it is a very bad pop song. I can hear only these horrible keybords. Why is Andy playing a guitar in this video?

[@AJAXKID123]

Agreed. It sounds like zero effort was put into it. I can’t quite express it, but it sounds like a pop song written and performed by only a marginally talented person or band. There is nothing creative or striking or even catchy about it. Sweet was so much better than this. Very bad pop. Makes me sad.

[@newavatar2947]

i totally disagree! Very bouncy,punchy, catchy pop tune!

[@deborascott2893]

Are you kidding with the question about Andy playing the guitar? Do you even know this band? I assume you must. What instrument did you think Andy played.

[@thorstenkehde3453]

@@deborascott2893 It' s okay that you like uninspired pop songs. A guitar player who made songs like "set me free" or "own up...", must be in a really bad situation writing such pop songs. Ah yes, he played also the keys😂

[@tmx63]

This is what happens when you lose your way and end up latching on to the perceived life preserver of current trends. This is absolutely fucking horrible.

[@deborascott2893]

100% DISAGREE. A talented band is capable of playing all different types of music. If you didn't know that about The Sweet then you're not really a fan. They sounded great no matter what kind of music they played.

[@tmx63]

@@deborascott2893 Bad music is bad music regardless of who the performer is. That doesn't mean someone, somewhere won't like it, but there's a reason this period of Sweet is largely forgotten.

@@tmx63 it's not forgotten because here we are in 2021 listening to it.
