@@seltaeb9691You don’t understand what influence means! No, it doesn’t mean, there was a thousand bands that sounded like them( Zeppelin) it means It got people off their arse’s!! People were blown away by them. They were my Rock Gods and I met and hung with them. (Influenced by.) 4 sho! I will tell you this, Sweet sound fresher today then Deep Purple, who by the way are Andy’s influence.
What a freaking show that was. The energy is so over the top. Brian Connelly was a ROCK GOD. This band should be to the Rock Hall Of Fame but no one there is educated enough in the art of rock to know it.
They are so much better than they were given credit for. When they shook off Chapman and Chin and the glam thing they became a world class act and better than many of their contemporaries. RIP Sweet.
why do you think so? What style did they create and what did they influence? I feel like their music is good but they just played a style that already existed and they liked it.
@@phoenix21studios Lots of bands nowadays claim their influence on them.They were innovators!! Queen copied their style but they never admitted it but everyone knows.
@@dumpling49 They both started in the UK at nearly the same time. Marc Bolan was the real influencer of glam rock at the end of the 1960s in the UK along with Bowie.
@@phoenix21studios disagree. They did the multi part harmonies, mixing hard rock and pop before Queen. They were an enormous influence on NWOBHM. And, dare I say, Punk. Yes. I said it......
Yes! I think that set of videos is the best by far of anything on here. They were relaxed and funny, and the camera got all of them individually so much. ❤
For me, Sweet are the ultimate rock band. They had the awesome songs, and delivered a powerhouse live gig. Maybe a DVD will be released of live footage from this period. Here's hoping!
This is pretty close, just judging by the 1st song on the video so far. I was at their 1st L.A. California show ever at the Santa Monica Civic,1976, I was 15. They screened the same intro film. They were completely over the top, visually, vocally and musically. Steve priest was hysterically funny on stage, bantering with the audience, keeping things lively. He cursed like a sailor. and every time he could substitute a word in the lyrics for something obscene he would. A Real rocknroller. Seen a lotta bands, these guys were unique. Proper rock stars but still seemed Street.
@@nikosatsaves3141 No its not ! ... how can they have been a genre of music that wasn't even invented.? . Metal my arse! .. they were a Rock n Roll band.. end of story.. every thing has to be claimed as Heavy fucking metal ..Well its not ! ..so knock off the HM bollocks !
Holy shit!!!!! This is friggin awesome!!! Brian's energy is over the top, and his vocals are edgy, Mick is very underrated, Andy's playing with a vengeance, that harmony is golden..... I want to see this in its entirety
This is Freaking EPIC!!! KICK-ASS TIGHT AND FREAKING LIVE!!! SWEET, WHAT A SOUND, even if the sound quality is not so good, you can only imagine the AWESOMENESS to be there and hear all this Epic Music, musicianship and vocals LIVE!! KICK-ASS EPIC!! SWEET SINCE 1975!
My first proper rock concert as a kid was SWEET and it totally blew my mind! Was nine months before this concert... 16 August, 1975 at Regent Theatre, Dunedin, New Zealand. I will never forget how absolutely awesome it was and this fantastic (albeit flawed) footage is a great document of how talented, powerful and legendary the Connolly / Priest / Scott / Tucker lineup of SWEET were! The BEST! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Brian, Mick and Steve... you guys have left a HUGE legacy to British rock! Andy keep doin’ what you are doing mate! These guys were awesome musicians in their own right! Vale to the guys who have departed - I’m sure you are rockin’ heaven 😎
WOW !!! Such a far cry from their early bubble gum days. they continued to progress into hard rock and metal including early speed metal. However, NEVER, NEVER EVER got the recognition they deserved. They were as good as Purple, Zep and Sabbath. From what I have read Sabbaths production team had actually inquired about their sound because they liked it so much and wanted to work with Sweets producer. The song AC/DC was done by Joan Jett and done very well.
This was my very first Sweet concert and it was so awesome!! What a day!!!L 🎸❤️🎶🤘 Guys you absolutely rocked my teenage years and still do today...again!!!! Thanks for the fucking great times and epic music!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
well, just maybe one day some of all this footage will be remastered with the best of modern technology. I just wonder were all the missing parts went? There's a lot of skipping of the songs right in the middle. There must be more of this perticular gig, no?
@@phillarsson8253 Well yes probably in the editing process some pieces were lost. It's a shame too because this is such a good show. Then again they were always tight . I think this footage should be preserved for music history.
An incredible band! I've loved them ever since I heard the Ballroom Blitz first time as a teenager in the 70s. So glad I found this video. The Sweet live performance videos are rare and every time I find one is a treat. Truly the Sweet musicianship is on par with that of the Queen. Both are the greatest bands in the world!
These guys made magic. NOBODY else like them. This is a gem. Wish there was more live stuff like this available to see. S much talent here it's sick!!!!
@ihghost, Yes, those distorted guitar chords and riffs are freaking awesome Metal Genre! I wonder if Sweet influenced this sound at all. The seventies were Pure Rock in sound, but this is right on "Metal" Heavy and in-your-face!

Its add a more nasty attitude , even.more punk vocifering than punk back then . With their Mick double kick attack and proto thrash riffs , its very ahead of the game
It’s obvious that Brian especially gave his total energy and commitment to The Sweet. If it weren’t for his addiction problems, I’m certain they would have kept going through the 1980s and beyond.
Amazing these guys..one of my favorite Bands!!! Rip.. Brian Francis Connolly.. Mick Tucker and Stevie Priest..Love them.. Andy Scott..lives on... congradulations..👏👏👏🇧🇷💕
@Dirk Diggler Ah but Mr Diggler, that's not true is it? You know this. If you had it, so would Sweet. Or any other fan. But no one has. The audio maybe. And film used in All That Glitters. But that's it.
I grow up in the Town of Musikladen (Bremen) and live already here! I am a great Sweetfan and had begin to play drums because i loved Mick Tucker! I saw Mick and Andy on the action tour in the 90´s and have a broken Stick from Mick at home that he threw in the crowd! In the past with Brian and Steve i hav´nt see a Concert ;-( What a shame!
I would KILL for a drumstick of Mick's. You lucky dude! So glad you saw them. I have his identical necklace and I wear it every damn day. Hoping it brings me luck with my drumming progression too. :)
Any footage of our guys playing live in those days is pure gold, even if the film quality isn't great. Like everyone else who didn't get to see them, I am so bummed that I didn't. Thanks for posting! I loved seeing Cockroach and Yesterday's Rain especially. RIP Mick, Brian, and Steve. Love you always. 🥰😘
This was my initiation rock concert, my very first concert ever. Aged 12. Thinking back, and having kids myself, I am wondering what my mother was thinking 😂. My ears were ringing for a week. Holy moly. Full on experience. I went to one more Sweet live concert in Düsseldorf, in the early 1990s. I still enjoy listening to the sensational tunes, riffs, harmonies and drum fills. Thank you for uploading. ❤❤❤
FREAKING EPIC!!! Those distorted guitar chords and riffs are freaking awesome "Metal" Genre! I wonder if Sweet influenced this sound at all. The seventies were Pure Rock in sound, but this is right on "Metal" Heavy and in-your-face pushed hard with Brian's vocal and with the 3 part harmoanies on top, man, it's SUGAR on the cake!
brian Connolly was my idol as a kid.. wanted to be like him so much.. but the band died befor I made my singing life.....still my idol and favorite band of all time. listening to cockroach was brilliant as so where there own written trax….. very underrated band and musicians.... rip brian and mick and the original sweet
Oh God, I want to see this whole show. We need a time machine. I love that Steve got to do Restless. I've seen just one other clip of it, and it was so dark it was terrible.
Good sound, musicians and voices. The opposite of their reputation, initialized through some of agnostic minded music journalists during the whole time of their successful 70th.
@@user-mw7cv3um5uStehplatz in der Mitte des Innenraums einer Halle für 5000 Fans, alles gut zu sehen. Am Ende hatte Brian eine Riesenflasche Champagner in der Hand
Я очень рада за вас, что вы были на этом концерте и видели все вживую! Наверное, Брайан классно выглядел и вам все понравилось. О, я бы тоже туда хотела!
Why is the camera man so interested in the crowd and not Brian. sooo wish he was still alive loved the magic 4 I think they should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame for the great music they all made.
Cockroach and Yesterday's Rain live!!!!! YES!!!!! It's not only a horrible shame they never filmed a complete (or near complete) concert but they also never had one multi-tracked either except the Rainbow in 73. Half was released on Strung Up and is superb. Apparently the multi-tracks for the other half of the show were lost. That is sad. Soundboard recordings will have to do....
someone needs to spend some money on this and have it restored professionally. in its current state, its poor quality visuals and very unstable on the lower half of the screen. restore it and repost it, you know its worth it.
