Beneath the glam and glitz was a f**king hard rock band of the best quality
Yes just like Slade
It's sad they're not as well known as other bands of their time.
until now thanks to youtube they are discovered
They were very well known in the 1970s I was there😂
Sweet was great as great can be.
Put four men together who know what to do, and they did it. That result in a topgroup, SWEET.
Amazing !!!!!!!! X Andy Scott .....wowwww xx
Amazing
talent fantastic expansive sound
Heavy!
Musical biographers also pointed out you have 4 virtuoso tenors which unheard of at that time and now. Also listen to Queens first 3 albums it's all Sweet musically guitar arrangements. And remember Sweet opened for Queen simultaneously as Queen got their feet wet.
Brian's screaming vocal was FAR ahead of it's time in 1974!
Super F.A !
This is the "Love is like Oxygen" band?
yup!
crazy sound from an ES 🙂
After watching this I now realize The Sweet were actually a 5 piece band because Mick counts as 2 people. Incredible!
He sure does! Doing that many things at 1 time and doing them well. That's our Mick. ❤❤
You got it!! What a great comment! I witnessed these shows live. Lucky enough to have been alive back then and a huge Sweet fan.Buffalo- ‘76. Philly’76- Conn.’77- Hardford -‘78. As a trio in Jersey ‘79. Then as a duo and finally just Andy in NYC in which I left heartbroken. But D’genaration kicked major ass that night. The mantle had been passed. Some things should die when it’s time. For it was not just a name of a band. It was the four guys I knew and loved.
@@ronnieacerra1382 Andy Scott supported D-Generation?? Cool!.. Why did it leave you heartbroken though?
you nailed it on the head
He really earns his money on this song. I had no idea he played the tubular bells (that's what they are, right?). If you didn't see it, you wouldn't believe it. Spectacular performance by everyone in the band, but Mick is the standout here.
This gig as a whole is very possibly the best RUclips upload ever. No other has brought me more joy since it was uploaded. So much love! ❤❤❤
True, I come back to listen to this again and again. Peace and love
Totally agree. So happy I found these live songs. Didn't even know Sweet had this sound. Love it!!!
Agree 100%. Best videos ever. Keeping the music alive.
Same here
Amen to that!!!!
Wow...There is not much Live Sweet stuff out there but this is Bloody Fantastic...These guys musically were as good as Zeppelin...Brilliant Drummer , Brilliant Guitarist, Brilliant Bass Guitarist and Brilliant Vocals :)
evel knievel fully agree
Way better than Led Zeppelin
@@Brewzerr that's a stretch. Good players fursure but Zeppelin basically created the genre
@@mustangjusty3772 What genre?
2018 Sony released Sweet Live in the UK 1973 - it's the whole gig from Rainbow.
I wish to hear more material from 1973-76.
I love Sweet! Sweet should be in the rock and roll Hall of Fame!!!! 💋🎤🎵🎸🥁🎶
Absolutely right !!
They had to make room for Joan Jett and Tupac
They have to redefine what rock is ya know? So their activist curator can stuff the ballot box with Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, and Biggie Smalls.
How do they get nominated for the rrhof!?
Agree, and disagree; they deserve to be, and yet the RnRHoF is also a crock of shit.
Sweet was one of the most under appreciated bands ever but yet was one of the most talented for instrumental and vocal bands of the mid 70's.
This live version takes this metal beauty of a song to the next next level. SWEET PERFECTION.
My wife just spent a great deal of money on an autograph from Andy Scott. I'm traditionally not a crier but, embarrassingly, it made me cry. No one has ever given me something so personal that I wanted so bad. I'm so lucky to have seen them live.
You're even luckier to have such a thoughtful wife. I'm envious that you got to see them live, though.
Did you see the original line-up or that horrible incarnation that Scott aligns himself with now?
@@steve_bal4 Original. I think around 1979 or so. Give or take.
@@steve_bal4Andy has put together a mishmash of musicians (do we call it that??) who sometimes have to read the lyrics on an iPad because they don't know or remember the words...making a sad tribute band of himself. Unfortunately, the guy is anything but humble and will never realise that he has to put an end to the crap he insists on calling 'Sweet'...🤦
Mick Tucker one of the most underrated drummers ever
Timothy Jay you can tell Tommy Lee was a huge fan of Mick, big influence on the Too Fast for Love and Dr. Feelgood albums
Tucker with "ck"
Mick war ein ganz lieber Mensch als Ehemann und Vater . Leider erfährt man nicht mehr als Pauline starb und die andere kam . Für die Tochter muss das schlimm gewesen sein der Vater heiraet ein Biest
Um dos melhores baterista que já vi...love Mick Tucker!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷👏💕💕💕
Couldn't agree more!!! Fantastic drummer.
Hands down the most Criminally underrated band of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blame the UK market at the time....Radar Love is in there..we just got the pop, this proves they were a rock band. AS WERE Spectrum who did vocals on Capt Scarlet.. my band warmed up for them at a town hall and they rocked..costumes and light show..surprisingly good. Andy Bown warming up for The Faces in Edmonton Nth London got their biggest applause for the Tarot tv theme they did, surprised them..all these good bands,,
Love Sweet, but B.O.C takes the underrated title, imho. Lol peace.
Boy nearly every single reached nr1 in Germany
yep their management were greedy,,not the sweet;s fault x
dadadruma Marcopoulos No Fanny is the most underrated. Those ladies should have been huge stars. Sweet wasn’t the same after Brian’s throat was kicked in. He’s having trouble singing live here.
I'm 56 years old, was around when Sweet was still cranking out radio-friendly singles. I had NO idea they could play like this. Feels like I just discovered a new band. This is ridiculously good.
I'm 60 and got all their records I KNEW . But l thought why am I the only one that felt that way. Now with the internet I realise that I'm one of many.
Me toooo same age. Saw them hi lighted on RUclips’s Professor of rock and now I’ve gone down the Sweet rabbit hole for days now. Can’t get enough. Love ❤️❤️
The BEST !!!
Same here! I had no clue about this side of them. Every song I discover is awesome. My husband says I’m obsessed. Maybe. 😉
@@sandramule2412 It's perfectly understandable to be fair..
My favourite band of the 70's. Damn good muso's in their own right! Loved Mick Tucker on drums!!! So sad that Brian and Mick passed away... RIP Gentlemen and thanks for memories and the songs!
They could have been the biggest band in the world. Such raw, powerful and evocative talent.
OH MY OH MY! This is the first time in my entire long life I can see these dudes do their job alive! Can't believe how much was great! They rock!
can't stop listening album
❤
Thanks for posting the concert footage. This is excellent. Once Sweet broke away from the Chin/Chapman stronghold, they were a major force. Mick Tucker has always been one of my idols. (RIP)
Me, too. I learned a lot from him as a drummer.
it's a shame that he is so underrated. one of the best drummers in rock music, as good as Ian Paice and John Bonham.
@@Olegzyan Absolutely. Just as good, if not better! My #1 hero on drums.
A four-piece heavy metal orchestra. Fucking brilliant.
Friggin Monsters. How they faded into the mist as a 70's Glam Band is criminal. So good! German TV. Got a taste of what they were up against. Eat your heart out Scorpions.
Terribly underated. They were on the forefront of glam, metal, punk, progressive, etc. The give us a wink album is a true masterpiece. I admit; some of their ' fairy pop princess' vocals still make my skin crawl. But for every 'Lady Starlight', there's a 'keep it in' or 'cockroach'. Brilliant musicians ahead of their time.
They came into my life (in1974) like a cockroach but I luv them. 📻🎵🎵🎵
One of the bests, no doubt! They influenced Slade, Queen, Kiss, etc.
I believe the SWEET will be the reason for inventing a real time machine. Some future genius super fan will want see them play live. I hope that he reads this comment and swings by to pick me up on the way. Best band in History!
my god, this band should have been huge....I might get crucified for saying this but I can't see where Zeppelin, Queen, the Stones or even the Beatles have a thing over these guyz....so many styles, so much energy, and stage presents its insane that they are so so so underated
Totally right! who knew... I cant believe I missed these guys in the 70's
I was a big fan of them in the seventies and still am. I knew they were the best then and still are now! But I didn't realise how totally before their time they were with the hard rock stuff till later.
unfortunately as you can see from one of Mick's interviews they were poised for even greater success but at a particular tour supporting Bob Seger Brian was on medication and struggling with alcohol and their were a lot of record company bosses there and they basically did not get the kudos they deserved nor the signing....
Luke St. John What are you talking about they where huge!!By 1975 they had sold 14 million albums and now its probably around 100-150 mil!
They were huge in the UK in the glam era. I mean they were superstars.
These guys were definitely on par with deep purple and rush in terms of complex rock
Excuse me, but how can it be these guys are never mentioned for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame???
Because the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is the Rock & Roll Hall of Shame. Lokk who is in there... Not even Deep Purple and that should say enough...
because it's run by and for talent-less Yanks.
It's so obviously fixed.
Such a deserving band
This is just fantasy, but my fanmade X Men Evolution Band will induct them into the Rock and roll hall of fame this year.
desolation boulevard was a marker stone. serious hybrid between punk, disco and heavy metal. landmark
I don't hear the disco part of it.
@@Brewzerr How about "funk"? That work better?
Why did it take 42 years for REAL live footage of the REAL Sweet band band to be released?
This should have been out years ago!!!!!!!!!!
I also wish it would have been out years ago
Fraevo10
I know! They have like 6 camera angles and great sound....I don't get it! I guess maybe a German affiliation had the rights to it or something ?
Hall of Fame talent.

@@seamus2112ophelan It belongs the TV station Radio Bremen, part of our ARD.
They had a music show for adults in their twenties and thirties. You know, bearded guys which always looked bored, never applaused; all that crap. I watched it in my teems, but disliked it; it was very late; too, started at 10.15 pm and I knew I would be awful tired next day. Most acts were not interesting, it was for older people.
This show produced it. But they never showed it on TV, since they had made faults while filming the concert. Sweet had sent which microphones etc would be needed; they only brought a part of the necessary stuff when the name cone on stage. They did not take them for a serious band and thought Sweet was 'just a teen band',, while they felt as if they would be something great, more than a music show for teens.
It was a very bad mood in the studio, so it never aired. I think Andy Scott found it oer coincidence in the archive while searching for stuff for a DVD. And he first thought:" oh no, not this. You cannot show this to anybody'.
But then he started to look into the show and saw what a gem had come back to live.
I must say it only was huge luck it still was there. Maybe if it ever had aired it would be gone, but it was forgotten that way.
Many old treasures are forever lost. Not only from our old children's TV, for example- they cut parts for a second TV show and afterwards threw all in the litter- they even have deleted stuff to film new on the old tape. Believe it or not, when an old music show was complete destroyed ( it aired for years in the sixties), even a show in the studio by the Beatles was deleted. Destroyed forever, only because they filmed new stuff on the tapes.
A most impressive live performance, many of the other videos I’ve watched have the band lip syncing which is a terrible shame because this clearly demonstrates how talented they were both as musicians and vocalists. The guitar wasn’t always front and center of their sound but Andy Scott shows that he is quite a capable and accomplished guitarist. I love the prog rock elements in this song. And as always their sound is underpinned by the rhythm section, Mick Tucker’s percussion here doesn’t take a backseat to any of his peers.
How many arms has Mick f'king got? Best drummer ever. Hah, does he give the Gong a whack with his heel at the end?
Andy Scott is so underrated as a guitarist.
Him and Mick Tucker were both very, very tidy musicians and in another lifetime could have been huge mega stars in the business and household names had they had been in a Zeppelin, a Queen etc etc I agree with the comments saying they are so underrated .. but hey, thanks to youtube more and more are hearing how influential and maybe ahead of their time they were
AGREED!!!
Joseph Bruno que bueno q así sea
@@youandwhosearmy6339 As a a group.....excellent!!
Angus Young was influenced from Scott, Townsed and Page.
As an American kid in the 70's I always loved it when Ballroom Blitz or Love is Like Oxygen came on the radio. But until I started watching the clips from this Musikladen show I never realized Sweet could rock so hard! Do they have any bad songs? I don't think I've heard one yet! Thanks Andy!
+BeerCanRich 99 I think the worst song was Alexander Graham Bell but that was an early Chinn & Chapman one.
+Helen the raver Oooh, I have to agree with you there--I'm not too fond of that one either! : (
+Andy'sLadyStarlight No it's an odd song but i like it more after watching the video !But thank goodness for Alex G B, broadband, RUclips & this Channel so we can watch our fave band!!
Helen B That one is ok. Jeanie or Peppermint twist or Coco, those are the ones i wish had never happened lol
Didi Bolter I like Fox on the Run, it’s their song. It also makes my eyes happy to see Brian do whatever, even to hear him sing whatever, but they’re a rock band, they were too good for pop hit records. It hurts my ears to hear them play Coco when I know they can play Set Me Free
Andy Scott can make those strings sing,Loved Mick Tucker.
Didn't know sweet members knew how to play so many different types of instraments very talented group
Sweet - музыка моего детства . Это ностальгия ... Школа .... Кайф полный... 67-69 гг. Я приветствую вас!!! Мы слушали Sweet Slade Nazarerth и др. на "рёбрах". Кто в теме - поймёт...
Вадим Рагозин Да уж . Были времена. Хорошие времена.
How many modern bands could perform like this live today? Very few. Too much like work.
Phenomenal !!!
These guys were brilliant 👌
Sweet-Music never dies... 🎶🎸🎤🥁🎶
Thank you guys for your fantastic Sweet-Sound 😘😘😘
My favorite song by The Sweet. Adore these guys so damn much. Thank you all for the amazing music that has changed me significantly. Especially my #1 hero, Mick Tucker. ❤️🤘
I agree 100% SWEET have been a HUGE musical impact on me and Mick still to this day blows me away with his drumming and drum parts. RIP BC,MT,ST thank you for all the amazing music. Thank you to AS for continuing to carry on the Sweet music and legacy! You guys really created magic together!
the song is legendary hard-rock classic of SWEET ... forever... and ever SWEET...
This were the real SWEET!
This is Heavy metal 🤘
Yes!!!! The studio version is even heavier!!!
Они лучшие! Точка. They are the best of all!
Waaay ahead of their time... this band should have been HUGE in America.
If they emerged in the 1980s they undoubtedly would have...Def Leppard and Muttley Crud stole huge chunks from the Sweet sound.
Now this is the best compensation you can get on youtube after the "lost" Rainbow Theatre recordings from 1973 - The band at their jamming best - The way i always preferred them besides the superficial A side releases.
This is when 4 masterminds get together and there is no stopping them for a decade. Sweet made my life worth living when I was a kid and I remember my first copy of the American version of Desolation Boulevard in 1989. It was so happy a year and that year Sweet helped me so much. I was 13 then. 10 years later I found out my biggest hero Brian was dead. I was mortified. I still am and then Mick. Basically, Sweet for me is like Badfinger for me- their musical genius lives on despite ill advised life decisions and mortality, but it leaves me with a lot of grief to think they are no longer around. Rest In peace Brian Connolly and Mick Tucker may your music be with us forever.
Well said. Now sadly we have to say goodbye to Steve also. It's now up to Andy to keep the fire burning.
Always loved The Sweet. These guys can rock! Tucker is one of my fav drummers too - SO underrated.
fantastic!!!
Actual live footage of Sweet playing actual live material and no pantomime? This made my fucking year. So glad to see this. Hope I can find more live performances from Sweet. Theyve inspired me so much, and watching this, they have even more. Love this.
It's a shame they weren't allowed to do more of this.
@@farrellvanessa there's actually quite a lot of live bootlegs of the original group and the three piece sweet, but unfortunately they keep getting taken down.
Jesus Christ. I was 8 when this came out and im listening to it for the first time as a 52 year old and its driving me wild ! Bloody awesome !!
Bloody hell. 45 years ago and still sounds great.
Brian 💖forever love 💕
OMG. I even heard Eddie van Halen in the ending guitar solo of Solid God Brass. These guys must have influenced generations of musicians. Love this band.
Wow oh wow. Growing up in America, I had known Sweet mainly as a name scrolling by on ads for K-Tel hit compilation albums, for songs like "Little Willy." It's only in the past year or so that I've learned about the other sides of Sweet through the power of RUclips videos such as this. This is the band Sweet saw when they looked at themselves in the mirror: songs that rocked, showed off their musical versatility, and yet were still catchy and full of hooks. Great stuff.
Hi there! I´m from Finland. Are you still living in America? I heard Sweet, when I was a child, but today I have been listening to Sweet every day because this fantastic RUclips gave me that chance!!!! Please, listen to Sweet best songs, like The Six Teens, Solid Gold Brass, No You Don´t, Fever of Love, Teenage Rampage, Blockbuster etc. And tell me after listening, what did you like? And of course, I listen to Funny Funny every morning, especially, when I am sad. What´s the weather like in America? Here in Finland is a cold and rainy.....so sad....
I agree, great stuff!
We in America missed out on so much. I just discovered their full scope 2 months ago! I'm a grandmother now, I was 9 years old when this rehearsal was filmed. I absolutely adore this band! I have a special affinity for Andy Scott!
ME TOO! I always hated their pop sound, but love the other side! They were so dedicated and hard working. They look like such nice guys too that weren't afraid to smile! Genuine! And sweet! I'll be looking into more!
V. Anton Spraul Same here. I was into all the popular bands, Led Zep etc... Now I have to have my Sweet just about every day. Rock on!
Замечательно обалденно и просто КЛАССНО!!!
Bravo Musikladen ! Bravo The SWEET
На мой взгляд- Sweet FA самый мощный альбом Свит и один из лучших в истории рока
Согласен, они там вроде Диповский Бёрн подвинули в хит параде. Очень люблю смотреть как они играют, особенно Такер. Лично для меня он супер. От его игры меня аж подкидывает. Свит в юности свернули мне башку напрочь. Жаль, только два крутых альбома, но и это круто!!!
Я могу смотреть на Мика вечно.От его игры башню сносит.
@@АллаДудник-м4б I can look at Mick forever too. I love him! 💖
Pure magic!!!
Класс!Sweet- великолепная команда!
They came a long long way from Little Willy.. the guts to break away & do their own thing. Respect.
They came even further from Honeysuckle Love and Funny Funny... even Little Willy was hard in comparison! 😊
We want SWEET for Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame 🇬🇧❣️💞
Sweet for Ever
Way ahead of their time! Awesome band!!
Listen to "Fox on The Run" and then "Sweet F.A." and you'll think you're listening to two different bands. This one rocked hard.
Listen to Poppa Joe and you'll be shocked at the difference!
Yes they had many styles and that is a good thing
RIP Steve Priest!!!! =,( I hate knowing many living legends are of that age now UGH!
Ich liebe diesen Song....🎧❤️👏
Sweet were a glam rock band ..... I think not 😁 absolutely brilliant musical talent....
Sweet, ihr ward und seid in dieser Besetzung immer noch die besten und größten Rocker aller Zeiten. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Danke für all Eure tolle Musik, angefangen über Glam Rock, Hard Rock oder zu Herzen gehend Balladen. 💓🎶🎤🥁🎸💓
Euch zu hören ist seit 50 Jahren ein Genuss für mich👏👏👏👏👏👏
Kinda makes Poison and Guns and Roses look like an opening act.
that guitar tone..in those days the only way was flat out loud as hell...but what a sound!
Sweet the BEST, Mick Tuker bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kyiv. Ukraine.
Still excellent and innovative after half a century. Thank you Steve and Andy to keep the Sweet spirit alive anno 2020
Steve R.I.P
Musikladen 11.11.1974 playlist is probably one of the best Sweet live performances, much better than the recordings. In live performances, they had to make themselves,
One of the best classic rock songs ever and (of course) it was never played even once on American radio. All we got was the same old shit over and over and over till we wanted to fucking puke. Forget the fact there were bands like The Sweet who were mega talents, all we got was the top 20 bullshit on American radio growing up. There a lot of videos on RUclips where whey just mimed their performances but to see these guys play TRULY live, just blows you away!
Great song. Great band.
Their mastery over their instruments is simply amazing!
yeah this is true live, not playback, raw and heavy!!!
Damn it these guys were much greater than I ever knew and had n loved Desolation Boulevard! Never knew much about them either, this is gold! All versions I've seen so far for Ballroom Blitz seem pre-recorded for tv. Not an actual live version like what I just watched! Keeping my eyes peeled.
Oh yeah, fantastic use of an Echoplex tape delay on Andy's guitar. Incredible sound!
Shite... I wish I was there!!!! Not bands who could do better, damn fantastic gig!!!!!
Andy was one of the few hard rock/metal guitarists that used a Gibson semi-acoustic guitar that was usually used by jazz players which is probably why he had such a recognizable sound.
❤❤❤
these guys are freaking kick ass
my God. this is so awesome. thank you for posting this whoever did it. the audio so crisp and clear. this is a real band. the sweet were so great. I guess this is in Germany. even the camera angles were awesome. I'd like to have this full show on DVD man I've never seen the sweet any better than this. thanks John in Illinois America
I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS!! I was listening to their album Desolation Blvd. in junior high school and am still blown away especially finding this!! THIS IS GOLDEN FOOTAGE!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!
This band Sweet was so out in front!!! They would kick asss today!!!
Hands down the most Criminally underrated band of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Sweet. Mick,, Bryan, Steve and Andy.
I've Been waiting for this for decades!
RIP Steve Priest. 6/4/2020
This band is awesome
May they get the recognition they deserve while the last one is alive... This clip is phenomenal.... Maybe they wouldn't sell their soul and you can figure out the rest....
Rara versión de Sweet F.A. magnífica
Still in shock watcin dvd of this lost performance. I feel young again!!
