I love Sweet's songs, and I listened to their songs from the original member era. It's original only for Andy Scott, but I want you to speak, play, and convey music.
Even after 50 years this song still rocks my heart and soul. Brian, Mick and Steve are enjoying all that watching it from heaven. Blessings from Germany
When I got my first SWEET single at my sixth birthday, little did I know that Andy will still rock the world's biggest heavy metal festival 52 years later......This is absolutely fantastic! Rock on, Andy and SWEET!
My brother bought me the 'Hellraiser' single when I was 10; I liked Alice Cooper and David Bowie but the Sweet were 'my band'. Saw them when they toured New Zealand in 1975 and it was great. My first 'rock single' and my first rock concert!
As a drummer, I had to learn this beat. I'll be 60 in September, and I still play it. A lot of this generation does not know. what good music is. without a computer Helping them.
I love how Andy still manages to "orchestrate" his signature guitar sounds - like he ever did before. This makes me feel, some of the classic Sweet-action is still alive, still happening. All the musicians involved here are helpful & great. But Andy Scott - with his very own guitar work - IS "The Sweet" on top of that. He´s iconic, in my eyes!
@@haraldalbrecht6133 My first LP was a K-Tel compilation with Alice Cooper-No more Mr. Nice guy, Doobie Bros.-China Grove, Steppenwolf- Magic carpet ride and, I think Brownsville Stn.- Smokin' In the Boys room. By the time Blondie was around I was using her for other things, as a young boy that grew up with no idea what an internet was. If ya follow. 😅 Oh and it is Heart of glass ruclips.net/video/WGU_4-5RaxU/видео.htmlsi=5LM7HUpDpHDfZFeX 😜
As a young kid in the early 70's, Sweet were my favourite band. The first time I saw them (by them, I mean Andy Scott and the then line up) was about 10 years ago. I couldn't believe Andy was still doing it then, let alone 10 years later!
Great great songs that need to be played live and kept alive. As a very young teenager they were my gateway band to rock. I hope when I am long gone these songs still get played, covered, sampled ect ect.
@@petrascheiblich6191 dumm nur, daß das nur eine billige Kopie mit dem Namen ist. Denn von der Original Besetzung ist niemand mehr dabei, weil alle verstorben...Also für mich totaler Bullshit...
Unglaublich. Ich sah Sweet für über 40 Jahren in Kent, wo ich lebte während meine spät Jugend. Das war mega geil. Wacken können Sich stolz sein, Sweet nochmals erleben zu dürfen, und ich danke RUclips für diese Erlebnis
Ich erinnere mich noch an meinen bunten BRAVO Starschnitt von ihnen auf einem Fahrrad mit Ballons, der an meiner Wand hing und an Brian, der eine einzigartige und unvergleichliche Stimme hatte
It's great to see this band still going! Ballroom Blitz is the song that introduced me to hard rock, and subsequently made me a lifelong metal fan. I saw The Sweet play sometime in the 90s but by then Brian Connolly's voice was shot, it was sad to watch.
Hallo knut ist dir aufgefallen das an der schiessbude ein anderer sitzt ich hatte alle Singles von sweet und einen bravo starschnitt bin Jahrgang 62 entweder war man sweet oder bay City rollers fan
Ich hatte das große Glück 2x die Sweet in ihrer Originalbestzung damals in Berlin zu sehen... es war fantastisch. Und dann ca. 2013 auf einer ihrer "Abschiedstouren" und ich muß sagen, es hat funktioniert, einfach weil die Kompositionen, die Arragements und die Texte geial sind. Wüßte keine Band außer Queen und Deep Purple, die da mithalten könnte.
this was one of the best Blitz performances I have seen in decades. The new drummer is very tight and accurate. Andys voice still chilling. FANTASTIC!!
That was fantastic, you sweet guys. Let's rock! Soon I'll be standing in front of your stage. I'm looking forward to it like I was when I was a teenager.🤘🎸🥰
Mick ist untouchable, keine Frage. Mein Idol. Keiner trommelt wie er es konnte. Ich bin selbst Drummer und Ballroom Blitz ist nicht so einfach wie man denkt. Der neue Bursche macht das aber sehr akurat mit Top Timing.
Unbelievable: Glam Rock at Wacken. And it fits. Electric Rock is universal. That was a song of my youth and, yeah, I still like to hear it (it's second after Teenage Rampage).
Sweet was my first love because of a girl, i had everyting from them , Poppa Joe and things like that. Listening to the B-Sides took me to Rock, not T.Rex, not Slade or any other Glam-Rock-Band. Thx for that ;)
Der erste Sweetsong den ich hoerte war „the lies in your eyes“ , der war auf einem Ariolasampler drauf (Hitexplosion 1978 oder so). Leider war das dann schon relativ am Ende der B.Connolly Ära. Aber „Level Headed“ und „cut above the rest“ waren auch noch starke Alben, obwohl sie dann stilistisch ganz anders waren als in der Glamrockzeit.
Sweet war schon immer eine meiner Lieblingsgruppen.Die Musik ist ist top. Aber die Stimme des Sängers, kann mit Brian Conolly's einfach nicht mithalten. Ohne ihn ist Sweet einfach nicht mehr das, was sie mal waren. Nähmlich einzigartig ❤️🫶
Zunächst dachte ich, das Alter gehe am Alten nicht vorbei. Paar comments weiter muss ich annehmen, dass Conolly tot is'... Danke, dass Sie den Namen den Sängers gewissermaßen in Erinnerung rufen. Ich finde auch, in Ihrem Sinne, dass die Tonart des Orginals, das die Performance bestimmt, hier auf Nummer sicher getrimmt wurde. Anders gesagt, ich finde "auch", dass Conolly ans Äußerste seiner persönlichen Möglichkeiten gegangen ist - ohne dass er es sich anmerken ließ. Das bedeutet mir was. Schade sehr, sollte er wie oben gesagt, nunmehr tot sein. Die Sweet-Gitarre, das könnte nur der Alte so können, ditto. Engimatisch! Cheers!
Keep it going Andy. Saw you a couple of years ago. Small club and a great night. I’d rather hear this version than nothing at all. Can’t say that about Slade nowadays..
They were known as the Sweetshop originally, then The Sweet, finally just Sweet worldwide. Andy doesn’t own the trademark to Sweet, that’s why he uses The Sweet.
@@BK-qp4uq soweit meine Bio-Festplatte noch Daten hergibt, war das anlässlich der nachmittäglichen Sonntagsdisko. Es gab nummerierte Eintrittskarten und die waren gleichzeitig Lose.
SWEET was a GREAT band in it’s prime and Andy still needs to pay the bills in his old age….these guys sound OK, despite Andy being the only living member left from the original line-up. So, all good!
I don’t care what anyone says.. Andy Scott is still writing new music and keeping Sweet alive. I very recently over the summer saw the American version that is more or less considered “official”? Trust me, this is the real deal or at least as close as you’re gonna get considering the circumstance. Celebrate while we still have Andy in the house..✌🏻🙏🏻🍻
sono il primo a fare il commento ❤gli Sweet sorprendente gruppo musicale sottovalutato Hard Rock purissimo Anni 70.. sono ancora eccezionali da ascoltare... grazie Andy Scott 😚
So leid es mir tut: das hat mit den fantastischen „The Sweet“ der 70er Jahre leider nur noch wenig zu tun. Eher wie eine Coverband. Andy sei mir nicht böse, denn ihr wart die Rock-Götter meiner Jugend!
The original four members were a great band once they freed themselves from having to play all the Chinnichap crap. They could hold their own with any of the big rock bands of the 70s.
In Andy Scott's defense, all the other members of the classic lineup are dead. If he wants to go out and keep the torch alive, God bless him.
Exactly
I love Sweet's songs, and I listened to their songs from the original member era. It's original only for Andy Scott, but I want you to speak, play, and convey music.
Agreed.
I agree and they sound great !! You hear the typical Sweet sound !
But this is not bruce on drums
Even after 50 years this song still rocks my heart and soul. Brian, Mick and Steve are enjoying all that watching it from heaven. Blessings from Germany
It’s just a shame that the drummer doesn’t play the iconic drum beat as a tribute to the late great Mick Tucker x
THAT guitar tone is still there...
AND the trainbeat drum
Yeah, but the original members aren’t!
Andy always had a great sound.
When I got my first SWEET single at my sixth birthday, little did I know that Andy will still rock the world's biggest heavy metal festival 52 years later......This is absolutely fantastic! Rock on, Andy and SWEET!
me too !!! my first single : wig wam bam....
@@borrisbobTV My first was "Poppa Joe". Got it signed by Andy in the 90ś. 😀
Ich dachte Andy Scott hat es vor ein paar Jahren dann doch gelassen und aufgehört? Ich bin überrascht 😊

Stole that album from my sister 50 hears ago. She never got it back. Mick Tucker was criminally underrated as a drummer.
Brilliant, I've loved The Sweet since I first heard Blockbuster way back in the late 70's. Andy Scott is a legend.

Das hat doch nichts mehr mit The Sweet zu tun. 75% der Gründungsmitglieder sind bereits verstorben, darunter der Sänger Brian Connolly.
Ich erinnere mich noch an meinen bunten BRAVO Starschnitt von ihnen auf einem Fahrrad mit Ballons, der an meiner Wand hing und an Brian, der eine einzigartige und unvergleichliche Stimme hatte

look at the young girl on front row!!!! she knows every songs !!!
THE SWEET is LEGEND....the BAND is absolutly TOP.! Thank you SWEET
..This group Sweet is not a really SWEET from the 70s....
⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡Ya can`t keep a SWEET band down!! 😉💫🤩
Rock never dies and always resurfaces Amazing SWEET⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Its way better that this band exists than not at all
What a surprising this song makes me happy and remember me the good golden times

At least they didn’t lip sync!
High marks and thanks for the flashbacks memories
Andy Scott is a burner! He plays like a real hero! Nice to see that band alive, ok other members but rockin'!
was leider bei vielen der alten Bands so ist - aber die Musik wird am Leben erhalten - bin Bj..55 - Musik aus GB war in den 60ern und 70ern der Hammer

Never thought of sweet as Hard Rock back in the day!!
To be honest, the vocalist looks like he's wondered in from doing a Soundgarden tribute
What was he wondering about?
Ex singer from Iron Maiden.
Keep it going Andy. Saw you a couple of years ago. Small club and a great night. I’d rather hear this version than nothing at all. Can’t say that about Slade nowadays..
Yeah the Ballroom Blitzkrieg i love it.❤
I am taken back to being about ten or eleven, high school. So long ago, but this is part of my musical journey. Keep it alive.
THAT WAS KILLER ~~~!!!
Brian was a great singer, I met him at Arabella Studios and also Mick unforgettable...

By the way I did a Cover of Fox on the run!
Probably their best line-up ever.
