Regular Show brought me here. I've always felt that tv show had one of the best soundtracks ever!! I'd always be thankful with that show for bringing me here!!
RIP the three members of The Sweet Brian Connolly (October 5, 1945 - February 9, 1997), aged 51 Mick Tucker (July 17, 1947 - February 14, 2002), aged 54 Steve Priest (February 23, 1948 - June 4, 2020), aged 72 You will be remembered as legends.
NEVER gets old!!!! No one can replace these guys!!! Not in a million years!!! Loved them then, love them now. Their music will not be forgotten and neither will they!!!! Thank you Andy,… R.I.P: Brian, Mick and Steve 😢
@Retro Blue with you 1000...% -- NEVER anyone like our Fabulous Four, nor will there EVER be. I cannot get enough of our SWEET -- beyond words -- I cannot imagine my life without them!!! And, yes, very grateful for all Andy does to keep the legendary SWEET so alive and well. And for our dear Brian, Mick, and most recently and far too suddenly gone, our dear Steve -- missing them is the understatement of a lifetime. Hopefully you were able to see the beautiful livestream of the Memorial Bench Unveiling ceremony for Steve that took place on February 23, 2022. If you didn't, you'll find it on YT. More than beautiful to see. Thank God we live in an age where we are blessed to hear their iconic voices and see their priceless performances and videos at the tap of a finger.
Heute noch nach so vielen Jahren ist es schön sie wieder zu hören, die Songs der The Sweet. Ich hab immer noch diesen Schalter in mir der angeht, wenn Brian die Jungs fragt ob sie bereit sind.... In Loving Memory of Brian. Today.
My first memory of this song was driving in the car with my dad when I was young, maybe 8 years old. My dad is a very quiet and reserved man, a listener rather than a speaker. As soon as this song came on he didn’t say a word he just turned it up and belted out the whole song. One of my favourite memories I cherish. Id never seen my dad that into anything before that day. I’ve never seen him belt out/sing a song since. I doubt he even remembers it. But he said every word perfectly, even the intro at the start haha. I had absolutely no clue what was going on but it was certainly awesome. Shoutout dad he knows I love him :)
Are you ready Steve? - uhuu 🎸 Andy? - yeah 🎸 Mick? - okay 🥁 Allright fellas, let's goooooooooo 🎤🎶 Best intro ever of the whole Rock-History! Thank you guys for your fantastic Sweet-Sound 🥰 Unforgotten and forever in the hearts of your fans 💕♥️💕♥️💕
MUCH LOVE! There are very few openings of songs that I enjoy "singing/saying" as much as this. The tone of Brian's voice is, and I mean this in a totally hardcore, badass , rock-and-roll way, ADORABLE. It sounds like he's the leader of a pack of boys checking if they're ready to go out on an adventure. I like to think that they did go out on an adventure later that day, and they found a trove of German-looted art and gold from the war and returned it to my relatives. #SlavaUkraini
"Disco" mit Ilja Richter und "The Sweet" aus UK - Jugenderinnerungen eines Babyboomers aus dem Ruhrgebiet, der bald in Rente geht. Ich liebe diese Lieder bis heute. :-) Noch wer aus meiner Generation hier, der diese Musik nicht aus dem Kopf bekommen hat? 🤔
Супер группа высшего пилотажа ! Эпатажные ,эксклюзивные и оригинальные ,я влюбилась в вас с не давних пор ,и это теперь навсегда ! А эта песня вообще стало для меня хитом номер один ,из вашего репертуара . 👍👏⚡💥🔥💯
I am 58 and realise now that this fantastic band were my introduction to heavy rock nearly 50 years ago . Literally years ahead of their time in terms of guitar sound , vocals and image .
50 лет назад слушал эту вещь, всегда помнил о ней. Но нигде больше не попадалась. Думал уже никогда ее не услышу. И вот удача... Огромное вам спасибо за этот шедевр!!!
Какая же была офигенная группа! С детства (с 70-х) одна из любимых! Каждый музыкант абсолютно незаменим. Вечная память ушедшим. Энди - зоровья и долголетия!
That was the best group for me when I was young. I was born in 1963. And such a great rhythm. When I was 13, I always listened to it with my brother and we drummed along and acted as if we were playing the drums. I saw Sweet again at a gig, but not all of the original singers were there. Just Andy Scott. The concert wasn't bad, but it was different than if the original singers had been there. I would like to see the time back again. ...
To byla pro mě nejlepší skupina, když jsem byl mladý. Narodil jsem se v roce 1963. A takový skvělý rytmus. Když mi bylo 13, vždycky jsem to poslouchal s bratrem a bubnovali jsme spolu a chovali se, jako bychom hráli na bicí. Viděl jsem Sweet znovu na koncertě, ale nebyli tam všichni původní zpěváci. Prostě Andy Scott. Koncert nebyl špatný, ale byl jiný, než kdyby tam byli původní zpěváci. Rád bych ten čas znovu viděl. ...
The best memories listening to this.song in 2024. I was barely a teen when this song was first released. I will always think of my first crush when I listen to this one ! Miss those 70's.
❤I am not the only one listening this in may 2024 surely there's more people listening to it go the sweet the passionate ones yeah yeah yeah sweet sweeties lol🎉 xx luv luv
Loved this song back then and still love it so much. Great music and really like to look at them. Will keep on listening to it always 😍. Greetings from The Netherlands
The best band ever heard and seen .I'd never thought that their influence after so many years is growing bigger .. In my childhood I felt their power and nowadays I'm conviced to listen to four top musicans with very special and individuel abilities. Thank you and getting kissed by the sweet muse!
Hi You Know The Sweet Was The Best Band Ever , Many, Many Thanks Brian Connolly And The Sweet For all Good Music Best Wishes From: Rogert Nyberg With family 😁👍 Umeå , Sweden
Absolutely love their magnetic energy it’s so contagious & makes me feel happy, fantastic band!!!! My young granddaughter loves Steve Priest in his fairy costume 😆 what a great bassist~singer!!
Talento del puro y del bueno!!!!, qué bueno haber gozado y divertido con esta grandiosa música, hasta ahora suenan y gustan muchísimooooo!!!👍🇵🇪❤🎸🎶🎶🎵🎶🎸🎶🎵🎸🎵🎸🎶🎵🎸🎸🎵🎶🎸🎵
My brother and I loved this song so much we made a 'mix tape' with every song, THIS SONG on Side A. Took us about 2 hours, recording it from the 45 record to the tape recorder. We went on a bus trip to a swimming carnival with our swimming club and we asked the bus driver if we could put our 'mixed tape' on. He agreed. The bus was jumping with teenagers screaming, but about the third time in a row the Blitz came on the driver had enough much to the disappointment of the crowd. It was hilarious, circa 1974, Lismore, NSW, Australia. We we about 7 a d 10 years old. The chick's digged us!
The Sweet Was The Best Band Ever, Many, Many Thanks Brian Connolly And The Sweet For all Good Music Best Wishes From: Rogert Nyberg With family 😁👍 Umeå , Sweden
I got this album for Christmas in 1973, a month after my 15th birthday. I still have it. I haven't played it in ages, but we recently got a turntable and I can't wait to dig out all my vinyl.
Seeing a cover band for these guys this summer...I'm obsessed with this song! Never tired of it! Binge watching it! I love Steve's personality...always waiting to see what he's going to do. All the costumes and makeup! Such a fun band to watch. I wish I could have seen them back then!
When I was a kid - 10 or so - I heard this and died. Every year for several years afterward, I called my local radio station on my birthday and requested it and they always obliged (kiddies, this was way before the days where you could hear your favorite song at the touch of a finger). It never gets old. One of the all-time greatest rock songs.
Desde España un saludo a todos los que amamos la buena musica, no importan los años que tenga esta cancion , sigue igual de electrizante que en el 73 , larga vida al glam rock
Fantastic record… that killer guitar riff & the insistent drumming just work pure R&R magic… great production too! The Rezillos do a wonderful cover of the song that’s worth checking out!
I am born in 1959, but I will not grow old with this band. They had perfect hits... I mean in the original composition: Brian Connolly - lead and backing vocals (1968-1979; died 1997) Steve Priest - bass, backing and lead vocals (1968-1982; died 2020) Mick Tucker - drums, backing and occasional lead vocals (1968-1982; died 2002) Andy Scott - guitar, keyboards, backing and lead vocals (1970-1982)
Some of the best music ever came from the 70's and 80's. Ballroom Blitz is one of my favourites. I couldn't have sat so still as the audience did lol. RIP Steve Priest
Hands down *one of the best party songs* ever, if not the very best!!! This is simply guaranteed to get every kind of party started :) Not to mention it being a great song in every other way too, ofc.
А почему "всего лишь 1973"?! - 1973 один из поразительно богатых на рок-шедевры годов! Через 10 лет уже лишь объедки той эпохи гигантов оставались... С нынешними сравнивать вообще позорно.
50 Jahre her und ich bin erst 36jahre Jahre alt, ich finde es hammer geil und höre mir das lied grad seit 20 minuten an... muss aufhören zu schreiben, muss das lied wieder vorne anmachen LG aus Bremen
Thumbs up BEFORE I even used Google translate because I KNEW it would be positive comment! Music is the universal language my brother! Большие пальцы вверх ЕЩЕ ДО того, как я даже использовал Переводчик Google, потому что я ЗНАЛ, что это будет положительный комментарий! Музыка - это универсальный язык, брат мой!
"The Ballroom Blitz" is a song written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman and recorded by British rock group The Sweet in 1973. Billboard ranked the song No. 16 for 1975. The Ballroom Blitz was recorded at the International Audio Studio, 18 Rodmartin Street, London. It was produced by Phil Wainman and drummer Mick Tucker who used a Wainman drum on the recording. This song was inspired by an incident on January 27, 1973, when the band The Sweet was playing at the Great Hall in Kilmarnock, Scotland and had been chased off the stage by bottle shots by fans.
Desolation Boulevard... Man what an album. I was just a kid, however my Sister was a teenager then and bought all the good rock records. This came out at a time when Pop was hitting the radio stations, so it was a really good change.
Uno de los mejores grupos de los años70's
This video is so far ahead of its time. With the (seemingly live) effects of having a moving and growing/shrinking circle video (playback) overlay (admittedly, not very deftly controlled) over the live footage of the studio audience sitting in seriously dimmed lighting with TVs set into the wall, surrounded by orange ovals. I didn't know the technology for such an effect existed in 73.
100% agreed. I was eight years old when this song was released. This was when bands had REAL talent.
I can't believe this song is 50 years old.
Great song, and great band!
Eu tinha 13 anos. Tinha a fita k7 dessa música.
Yep!, you better believe it! forget netflix etc, etc..... 👍

I was lucky growing up in the 70`s and 80`s great time and music and now 67 !
I wasn't even born until '86, but all of my favorite music is from back then 😊. My parents raised me right, thank God.

Brian Connolly - lead and backing vocals (1968-1979; died 1997)
Steve Priest - bass, backing and lead vocals (1968-1982; died 2020)
Mick Tucker - drums, backing and occasional lead vocals (1968-1982; died 2002)

Some of the best music ever came from the 70's and 80's. Ballroom Blitz is one of my favourites. I couldn't have sat so still as the audience did lol. RIP Steve Priest
Hands down *one of the best party songs* ever, if not the very best!!! This is simply guaranteed to get every kind of party started :) Not to mention it being a great song in every other way too, ofc.
Hey guys your performance was epic Islington assembly hall it was so good what a great place it was so much fun tonight andy scott is a legend
Mick Tucker so ein genialer Drummer. Im Jenseits wird er jetzt richtig loslegen mit Brain. Genial!!!
If this song doesn't get your adrenaline popping, nothing will!
50 years past and it is still one of my favorite songs from one of the most unappreciated bands ever!

Yes it one of greatest hits ever,and an original!!!
На одном дыхании! Уму не постижимо! Всего лишь 1973год! Мощь, напор,голоса! Они на ВЕКА в наших сердцах!
и понятие "русский рок" звучит, как абсурд, или анекдот ...
А почему "всего лишь 1973"?! - 1973 один из поразительно богатых на рок-шедевры годов! Через 10 лет уже лишь объедки той эпохи гигантов оставались... С нынешними сравнивать вообще позорно.
Мозг нужен не всем, барабаны в африке. Рэп в америке.
Прошло 50лет,до сих пор слушается как в первый раз.
С горячим приветом от поклонника "БИТЛЗ"."СВИТ"-замечательная группа.60-70-и чуток 80-е наша молодость и самая классная музыка. Спасибо. друг.
50 Jahre her und ich bin erst 36jahre Jahre alt, ich finde es hammer geil und höre mir das lied grad seit 20 minuten an... muss aufhören zu schreiben, muss das lied wieder vorne anmachen LG aus Bremen
Thumbs up BEFORE I even used Google translate because I KNEW it would be positive comment! Music is the universal language my brother! Большие пальцы вверх ЕЩЕ ДО того, как я даже использовал Переводчик Google, потому что я ЗНАЛ, что это будет положительный комментарий! Музыка - это универсальный язык, брат мой!
Удивительно, я сейчас это слушаю в 19 лет
Me toooo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
"The Ballroom Blitz" is a song written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman and recorded by British rock group The Sweet in 1973. Billboard ranked the song No. 16 for 1975.
The Ballroom Blitz was recorded at the International Audio Studio, 18 Rodmartin Street, London. It was produced by Phil Wainman and drummer Mick Tucker who used a Wainman drum on the recording.
This song was inspired by an incident on January 27, 1973, when the band The Sweet was playing at the Great Hall in Kilmarnock, Scotland and had been chased off the stage by bottle shots by fans.
Я просто промолчу,выросла на этой песне... Папа стареющий рокер😁
It is the best song ever!!! Super sung effects, bloody god play together! The costumes lovely!!!
This was my first ever foray into rock... Remember going to the school library and listening to this over and over and over again.. 🥹
Incredible drum groove. Gonna get it
Desolation Boulevard... Man what an album. I was just a kid, however my Sister was a teenager then and bought all the good rock records. This came out at a time when Pop was hitting the radio stations, so it was a really good change.
I still have my copy...
