I think Brian had real guts going out and performing when he had such poor health. Shows he was a decent guy who really loved his fans, and how they loved him still. The disappointing thing was too much crowd footage and not enough Brian footage. What were the camera people thinking? RIP dear Brian (also Mick and Steve). You'll never be forgotten. 💔 We miss you!
It showed the public were into the music. And even tho' it would have been good to see more of Brian. It shows that the crowd will keep this music alive. And they still do, by going to see the existing Sweet band, to this day. Supporting on the music..
@@peterzozulak569 He could move pretty well. He leant right back till I thought he would topple but he didn't. He would have been brilliant at going under those pole things. Watched him doing the bending backwards. He had amazing strength in his legs from what I saw. And I was right under his nose in the middle at the gigs I was at. So nothing wrong with his balance there from what I was seeing of Brians balance. He had me in awe of the strength in his legs when he leant right back towards the drum kit area. I was sure he would topple over, but he never did when I would see him doing this.
The love for Brian at this show is over the top, so truly deserving. This proves without any doubt in Europe Brian was truly a rock god. Thanks for the music. RIP Brian Connolly.
@michael quaglia you keep hitting the nail right on the head. I'm sitting here in awe of the love that this unbelievable crowd is showing for Brian -- o, I only hope he knew and knows now just how much he was and is loved and adored, not just for his singing talents, but for the sweet spirit he was - always gracious, always humble. So thankful for this clip, for Brian - brings me so much joy to see this. Thank you again for your heart-warming words.
@@elisasa3287 Brian was one of the true vocal gods of the '70s. Along with Freddie Mercury and David Cassidy and people like that. Look at how much everybody loves Brian. I'm having a sweet day today so I'm getting high and pulling up everything I could find by the band sweet. Cuz I love them. 😁
Brian was the most gorgeous man. And his health never took that away, ever. I stood under his nose at gigs. And he was still gorgeous in the years before he died.First seen and met him in the early years of Sweet.
He knows that he has been loved and is still very much loved, I have no doubt...now that he's a golden light in the wind, gentle soul, he looks at us and smiles...❤
RIP Brian. From an abandoned baby in a rough part of Glasgow, all the way to the top, that was some life journey. Sadly his demons finally caught up with him. Let’s do him the honour of remembering him in his prime, with that fantastic voice and stage presence, his image, even how he stood on the stage, he was the essence of a rock star.
R.I.P. Brian!!! Du warst für mich der Beste Rocksänger aller Zeiten, ich bin schon mein ganzes Leben Sweet Fan ich hatte und habe nach wie vor so viel Freude mit deiner/eurer Musik. Nur noch Magic!!! R.I.P. Mick und Steve
He was at a point here where he had overcome his addiction for alcohol and what a great performance he did here! All those numberous cardiac arrests couldn't keep him off the stage but unfortunatly that one too many got to him in the end. RIP Brian!
This is in my country Denmark....we have such a love for Sweet...grew up listening to them all the time ...I'm so happy to see this amazing crowd giving them so much love ...truly epic
Jimmy Page (guitarist) said he is the SOUND of Led Zeppelin (and I agree), and I said Brian is the SOUND of Sweet. Yeah, Brian was still kicking ass here, crowd loved him and he loved his fans. Brian and his BC's Sweet band looked and sounded so good! Also thanks to Glen, Steve, Gary, Dave ( I hope I got all the names ). Miss the 70"s so much, the best erra ! Love and miss you so much Brian, you were the best!🤩
Back then many rock stars were professional and sang live even when their voices weren't at their best. Many of today's pop stars are whiny autotune lip sync
What a band was "The Sweet" they were four fantastic musicians and all had magnificent voices had health not failed them they would have been as successful as Queen.
I saw this version of The Sweet at a Butlins venue , all pre-internet don’t forget , or pre me getting the internet , so whilst the word was out that he wasn’t in the best of health I broke my heart to see him amble on to the stage in the state he was then . However once at the mike he could still bang the songs out albeit with extra backing from the guitarists , I grew up listening to them so it was a bitter/sweet gig for me to attend but I’m glad I did.
I know that when this concert took place, Brian was in a weakened physical state; hence the likely reason for more focus on the crowd than on him. Yet I've seen other videos of him performing in this state and in his prime; they all showed one thing in common--it was obvious that Brian loved to perform and engage the fans. This video clip proved to be no exception. Yes, I would have liked to see more of Brian than the crowd but I can sympathize with those who have known/seen him through the years. Rest in peace, Brian Francis Connolly.
Yes, Brian, in addition to heart problems, had been suffering from a left-sided hemiparesis for a few years that made him shake and fatigued him a lot. But do we care? His suffering did not really diminish him...what remains of him is the image of a kind and sensitive human being, who gave his all, a life that knew how to 'stand upright', however hard he was hit, and this, too, is beauty❤
Brian Connolly, the one and only. Still looked and sounded great after all happened, what a STAR! Bravo, Brian! The best! 🤩❤and miss you, Brian, Mick, Steve!
🤗💙🤗 Oh, mein Gott, wenn ich nur die Zeit zurückdrehen könnte, aber wie sagte EINSTEIN so schön, als sein lebenslanger Freund Michael starb:"Es ist nicht so schlimm, daß Michael die Welt vor mir verlässt! Die Unterscheidung zwischen Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft ist nur eine Täuschung, wenn auch eine hartnäckige!!! 🌠😇🌠😜🤔😜❤️❤️❤️ THE SWEET, eine meiner Lieblingsbands, werde ich immer in meinem Herzen tragen!!! ❤️💙💚💙❤️💗💓💝💖🧡❣️💖
Das ist toll ihn in einer Live show zu sehen super Sweet war meine lieblingsband in meiner Teenie zeit und Brian mein Herzblatt er bleibt für immer in meinem Herzen und die musik von Sweet hör ich heute immer noch mit voller Begeisterung R.I.P Brian Connolly ich vermisse dich so sehr meine grosse liebe😢❤❤❤
Oh dear, Brian. This performance did you absolutely no justice. Your voice had clearly gone as you tried your best to fight your well documented and sad health issues. I loved you as the lead singer with the original Sweet line-up, when your voice and persona made you a stand-out and charismatic front man. For those early 1970's memories I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Brilliant to see Brian with his band getting a great reception and rocking out throughout his illness to the very end, what a trouper , stalwart and Super Star !!!
He was one of my heros in the 70s and the sweet made me want to play in a band around 92 in england i had the pleasure to meet him thru a friend after a gig and although i was overwhelmed i came away feeling really sad brave man great performer thanks brian for all the music rip
I went to see Sweet live in Colchester in 73 really in their prime then great band live i liked the early bubblegum music but they really preferred the rock side of their music which they were great at.
Even with health issues Brian was facing at the time of this concert, he gave it his all and the audience gave him lots of well-deserved love back. I admire him for not giving up and doing what he loved. Inspiration for those of us facing major health issues to NEVER give up on our dreams. I bet he's in heaven making everyone smile!
I totally agree with the person right before me!!! Brian Connolly definitely has a lot of love for his fans and the music he helped create while in the band Sweet, and he also had a lot of courage and guts to go out there and perform like he did while being in such poor health!!! He's another one of those like Ronnie James Dio was, he "ROCKED TIL HE DROPPED"!!! And I mean that as a compliment, not anything to talk crap about him at all, because I am another one of his hugest fans since the very early 70's when I first heard "Little Willie" on the radio!!! That was my first time ever hearing his voice with Sweet!!! R.I.P. Brian Connolly!!! (Ernie Wilber) 🤘👹🤘✌️
I loved the sweet back in the early 70's as a teen and I'm a great granny at almost 56 and still love them- and how sad about Brian and Mick too- bless their hearts !
Honestly, I appreciate the fact that he still got up there to do what he loved, even in that condition, which couldn't be easy. And to think he would have only been in his mid-forties here 🙄 But I'm happy to see such a huge crowd showing him love in return 🙂
Everybody is having such a great time. And that's all that matters. You could see how much everybody loves Brian. Just the fact that he shows up and plays those songs means so much to everybody that it's not even worth judging his vocal performance. He's alive 😁 and that's all that matters.
Such a very talented man! Had the looks! Had the image! And The Voice! Painfully the "old" drink destroyed Brian To die at 50/51 is ABSOLUTELY no age! I hope your peace Brian! YOU TRULY where an Amazing Artist.
Well... I don't think it was the drink that killed him. Yes, he had a drinking period after Sweet, but cardiac trouble made him quit drinking. Then later on, after ending up in hospital with pneumonia, he got septicemia, developed a tremor - and plenty of people he figured he was drinking again.
@@Bietel Brian had multiple heart attacks caused by excess drinking. He drank to excess in the couple of years after he left Sweet. Became very bloated because of it,was warned by a few different doctors to stop drinking, didn't do so and had his heart attacks. There's an interview on here where Brian talks of this if you can find it. That would also be the cause of the later tremors and sadly his death years later
+Petra Ducksch Hallo Petra..! Ja:ich auch...entdeckt durch DISCO von Ilja Richter(wie so viele andere Bands ...)Heute höre ich meine SWEET cd's...Hier aber ist es schwierig BC an zu schauen,er war da schon so krank...

Went to see Brian's Sweet when he played in Melbourne. So sad to see Brian in the condition he was in yet, so happy to hear and see him perform one last time. The band essentially carried him through the set.
So great to see the crowd going wild for beautiful Brian, it must have made him feel so appreciated, after the way he'd been treated by Andy and Steve.
I went the same,thats thing about glam bands,they aimed 4 a certain age group,but as 1 we grew up,and went to different kinds of music-heavy ,or progg music,all was great tho
Damn, poor fellow, the rock'n roll life wasn't good to him. You can't help feeling sorry for mr Connolly. But they were great back then in their genre. Made some great rock, and mr Connolly had one of the best voices .
@IT'SME yes..that contributed to his final years .but his voice failure was from when he was attacked outside pub...he never could regain it .. it saddens me tremendously.
I know people would rather see the band than the audience but honestly I think it's fun to see myself and my sister down front and how we looked in the early 90's. Brian couldn't sing anymore he screamed out the songs but who cared this was Brian and he was trying his best and he wasn't well that was plain.
It is removed from UA-cam. But you find them here: Part 1: community.habimakeover.com/videos/view/video---brian-connolly-dont-leave-me-this-way-pt-1_22143.html Part 2: ok.ru/video/36472359664 Its from the 90ties...
I think the crowd had so much fun because they still loved him so much that they weren't even bothered by the poor quality voice Brian had in this concert, in comparison to 15 years ago:( But it's impossible to not keep loving him. He was one of the greatest rock voices in history and people will remember him as such, regardless all the issues he had later on...
Brian connoly con i suoi sweet subito nella rock n roll hall of fame . Ragazzi musicisti e artisti eccezzionali che hanno inventato uno stile e sono stati copiati da molti .
I must say that John O'Brien's comment TOTALLY sums up the Sweet, more than any journalist; they had a pop career, but live, they were second to none (if not pissed)! their own material was highly original,never getting true recognition! Hey, if Mr. Blackmore gigs with you..., you ain't shit!! R.I.P Brian & Mick; you all had an impact on my life! Steve and Andy, pull your fingers out & get some recognition B4 you pop your clogs too!
Are we looking at the same show here.........as much as I respect Brian for what he did in the 70's.......lets face it this is a bloody disgrace and i'm not just talking Brian but that whole band is fucking blasphemy........my opinion...
+redrheino I have to agree with you. I loved the Sweet in the 70's but Brian was already a zombie at this point, and backed by a shit band! This was pointless.
Each heart attack, 12 in close proximity Bryan says. Each 1 it's known, leaves its damage to heart. Poor Brian, took his over-prescribed medication like his dr. said. A diuretic drug that extracts fluid, more urination. Will cause dehydration in excess. I can't help but wonder who that doctor prescribing was. Diuretics are commonly prescribed in a population. Drugs being prescribed accord to each patient's weight, nothing difficult establishing correct dose. It means that trained Chemist has "prepared" that amount dose mgs. Chemists are fully aware of the incidence & dangers of hand-written pen prescriptions being misread by chemists in the mgs. & is corrected by contacting that prescribing dr. for clarification. If dose suited to a very heavy or obese person so wasn't questioned. Patient per script unknown to them. If was mg. dose excess for any human, Chemist would seek clarification to that patient's Dr. to avoid any consequential over-dosing. Can't help but wonder if mischief or prof. negligence occurred by one or the other. It happens. Script would be non-existent at this time even if computer filed then. Over-prescribed drugs aren't often realised until patient in consequence of it is presented to a hospital. You can be sure an excess dehydraating diuretic would induce a heart attack & other internal organs suffering dehydration. Tragic Brian taking his tablets dilligently to dr's instructions. With tragic consequences.
Probably the last decent vocals Brian gave in a concert, such a shame there has been other stuff thats made him look really bad. Brian was a great singer and showman, he loved what he did and we loved him , lets celebrate the man and what he gave to music , cause it was so SWEET. X
he looked verry old here.the group the other members saved his vocals that was not so strong i think. but enough of the critical verry good live such nice songs glam rock.i loved the group. very nice songs so sad he died so young
@@dragonenglish1014 Really? You are entitled to your opinion but this shows some of the band and you can hear them throughout. You don’t have to watch if it bothers you.
I think Brian had real guts going out and performing when he had such poor health. Shows he was a decent guy who really loved his fans, and how they loved him still.

He was in a very poor condition, could not move, singing was just just basic. The band performed very well, and Brian did as usual-hist best.
Здесь Брайн так сдал,что вообще не похож на себя. Это закат и конец карьеры. Голос вообще никакой. Очень и очень жалко.
It showed the public were into the music. And even tho' it would have been good to see more of Brian. It shows that the crowd will keep this music alive. And they still do, by going to see the existing Sweet band, to this day. Supporting on the music..

They sure as hell don't Rock out like they used to. Today's so-called music sucks. That's why I listen to the archives.

@@lindahubbuck6451 DID I SAY THAT?????????
@@DKDonson am i talking to you ? No im talking to Abele Coleen
@IT'SME Dont know if it was true but that wasnt the reason Brian got hurt
I was'nt an Sweet hard core fan but I bought all their singles in the 7ies §Brian WAS Sweet till the end !
MISS HIM SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH
❤😢 so sad, l will always love BFC
Brian is a very attractive man
I know people would rather see the band than the audience but honestly I think it's fun to see myself and my sister down front and how we looked in the early 90's. Brian couldn't sing anymore he screamed out the songs but who cared this was Brian and he was trying his best and he wasn't well that was plain.
Brian My love
Thank you Brian for your Sweet-Sound and the joy you brought to your fans 🥰
You are missed 😥
R.I.P. dear Brian
Forever in my heart ♥️
Bellissimo storia rock and roll
Dicembre 2021 - Roma ❤️
They were the shit. Brians demise was just awefull. I will always love this band
This is a man with major health problems, sadly he has now passed away,look up the documentary .Peace and Love to All fans.
Which documentary ?

Part 2: ok.ru/video/36472359664
Its from the 90ties...
We all miss you Brian and know you are in a better place.
Thanks Andy. I love this record, Makes me feel quite humble, knowing what Brian went through. & him on stage loving this. his own record. 😍xx
Don't forget Brian!
Mit seiner Stimme wurde es wieder besser...1985 war es ja schrecklich mit ihm
He is finished here. I am happy that I saw the as 12 years old when all the members were there.
Sweet!
Él cantaba tan precioso
¡¡BRIAN EL MEJOR¡¡
I think the crowd had so much fun because they still loved him so much that they weren't even bothered by the poor quality voice Brian had in this concert, in comparison to 15 years ago:(
But it's impossible to not keep loving him. He was one of the greatest rock voices in history and people will remember him as such, regardless all the issues he had later on...
True. They were there to see an icon from their past. I would have gone for sure
Brian siempre en mi corazón ❤️
Brian connoly con i suoi sweet subito nella rock n roll hall of fame . Ragazzi musicisti e artisti eccezzionali che hanno inventato uno stile e sono stati copiati da molti .
we all miss brian.. but...
wow..I loved this group.THIS is just sad..when its over its over,take it gracefully!
Having fun on stage IS gracefully.
Zespół mojej młodości. Szkoda, że Brajan dożył tylko 51 lat i że nie koncertował w Polsce
Damals durfte solche Musik nicht in den Oststaaten gespielt werden
Brian forever.
In the video you mainly see the audience - maybe it's better that way. So sad to see my hero in this condition😥
I must say that John O'Brien's comment TOTALLY sums up the Sweet, more than any journalist; they had a pop career, but live, they were second to none (if not pissed)! their own material was highly original,never getting true recognition!
Hey, if Mr. Blackmore gigs with you..., you ain't shit!! R.I.P Brian & Mick; you all had an impact on my life!
Steve and Andy, pull your fingers out & get some recognition B4 you pop your clogs too!
Que pena que las cámaras sólo enfoquen al público
La estrella es brian
Love is not ending if you have problems ... it is a starting point ... ❤ ... för mire love to give ...
we Love brian
Ignore all the negative comments.I think this is a really great version ,much faster, sung in a different tone.Brian I think performing well.
Are we looking at the same show here.........as much as I respect Brian for what he did in the 70's.......lets face it this is a bloody disgrace and i'm not just talking Brian but that whole band is fucking blasphemy........my opinion...
+redrheino I have to agree with you. I loved the Sweet in the 70's but Brian was already a zombie at this point, and backed by a shit band! This was pointless.
Each heart attack, 12 in close proximity Bryan says. Each 1 it's known, leaves its damage to heart. Poor Brian, took his over-prescribed medication like his dr. said. A diuretic drug that extracts fluid, more urination. Will cause dehydration in excess. I can't help but wonder who that doctor prescribing was. Diuretics are commonly prescribed in a population. Drugs being prescribed accord to each patient's weight, nothing difficult establishing correct dose. It means that trained Chemist has "prepared" that amount dose mgs. Chemists are fully aware of the incidence & dangers of hand-written pen prescriptions being misread by chemists in the mgs. & is corrected by contacting that prescribing dr. for clarification. If dose suited to a very heavy or obese person so wasn't questioned. Patient per script unknown to them. If was mg. dose excess for any human, Chemist would seek clarification to that patient's Dr. to avoid any consequential over-dosing. Can't help but wonder if mischief or prof. negligence occurred by one or the other. It happens. Script would be non-existent at this time even if computer filed then. Over-prescribed drugs aren't often realised until patient in consequence of it is presented to a hospital. You can be sure an excess dehydraating diuretic would induce a heart attack & other internal organs suffering dehydration. Tragic Brian taking his tablets dilligently to dr's instructions. With tragic consequences.
Probably the last decent vocals Brian gave in a concert, such a shame there has been other stuff thats made him look really bad. Brian was a great singer and showman, he loved what he did and we loved him , lets celebrate the man and what he gave to music , cause it was so SWEET. X
he looked verry old here.the group the other members saved his vocals that was not so strong i think. but enough of the critical verry good live such nice songs glam rock.i loved the group. very nice songs so sad he died so young
Hardcore rock star..paid the price.rip Brian.
REMEMBER. The recording was originally taken by security personnel and not taken to show the band.
So why tantalize us with this video? It should not have been published.
@@dragonenglish1014 Really? You are entitled to your opinion but this shows some of the band and you can hear them throughout. You don’t have to watch if it bothers you.
Many of us appreciate it. Thank you!
@@lindalumae you must be tone deaf. I agree, this should never have made it to UA-cam. Brian was better than this.
The director of this broadcast must be a big fan of ...the audience.
Brian stopped drinking after a series of heart attacks in the early '80's .This wasn't a drunken BC but ,yeah, an ill / weakened Brian .
Spot on. He quit drinking indeed, but pneumonia and septicemia got to him - that's when the tremors set in.
