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
Andy Scott a legend..That riff and guitar sound,the soundtrack to my schooldays..Rock n Roll never dies
This song reminds me of listening to this song on the radio getting dressed for grade school (parochial shool).
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 and ACTION timeless classics!
I was 13 years old when this song came out, 52 years have passed and I still don't get tired of hearing it.
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.
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 😊
Me too first singel block buster, and still own this
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!
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!
Steve, Mick , and Brian have passed but glad Andy is still out there so others can hear the music live.
New drummer is top notch...excellent performance by everyone...
@@jjadams1000 I agree, but I said that It’s a shame he doesn’t play the iconic drum pattern on BG!
Ab meinem 14. Lebensjahr horte ich auch gerne The Sweet , schöne 70er 👍👍👍
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.
In 70/71 was finishing high school and partied very hard to these guys 😅
@brunswicklord6365 "ect"... Ectoplasm? Ectomorph? Ectopic?
Ditto.
The first bit of music I ever bought. This song on a 45. 🤘
@@Zedster88 My first 45 was Deborah Harry with Sun of glass...🤗
My first LP was British Steel from Judas Priest .👋🏻👌🏻
@@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 ua-cam.com/video/WGU_4-5RaxU/v-deo.htmlsi=5LM7HUpDpHDfZFeX 😜
@Zedster88 haha, same here 😃🤘
Meine Jugend...❤❤❤❤@@haraldalbrecht6133
Ha ha same for me ...paper round money....still got it...😊
Thank you Andy for continuing to give us SWEET and all your beautiful songs , and PLEASE don't give a shit
what other people say about it , if you are happy and we are happy, screw ALL the idiots who criticize.
THE SWEET is LEGEND....the BAND is absolutly TOP.! Thank you SWEET
..This group Sweet is not a really SWEET from the 70s....
THAT guitar tone is still there...
AND the trainbeat drum
Yeah, but the original members aren’t!
Andy always had a great sound.
Yes it is, but all the rest is just a poor and faded copy of what once was. 😢
Absolut Mega 👍💜💚"The Sweet" in Wacken da ist man gleich wieder 16 Jahre alt!👍Da wäre ich gerne dabei gewesen in Wacken😊 🤟🎸🎤🤟Ein Hoch auf die 70ger!
@@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...
Blödsinn, Andy ist immer noch dabei@@dietermuller8625
Destination meaning
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!
Love it! Sweet was one of my favorite bands growing up in the 70's.God Bless Andy for keeping such great music alive!
52 years since I first sang Blockbuster into a mic. Little did I know, I would still be singing Sweet songs to this day, and have learnt so many on my guitar's and bass'. Massive influence on my own music.
Rip Brian, Mick and Steve. Stay strong Andy.
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.
⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡Ya can`t keep a SWEET band down!! 😉💫🤩
Absolute Legend!
Rock never dies and always resurfaces Amazing SWEET⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.🤘🎸🥰
look at the young girl on front row!!!! she knows every songs !!!
One of my all time favorite songs!
It's the music of my youth! I love it. Thank you for keep it alive ...................
Brilliant, I've loved The Sweet since I first heard Blockbuster way back in the late 70's. Andy Scott is a legend.
What a surprising this song makes me happy and remember me the good golden times
I saw this in the West end a few years ago a show and time I will never forget ..The vocal is indeed spellbinding and the orchestra outstanding I still get shivers and tears when I watch this x
Le retour des jeunes 🎂🎂🎂
I love it! Sweet is the best.
The drummer ist great!!!
Back in the 70’s I remember going to teen dances and whenever a fisty cuff would break out the DJ would always play that song…. the difference back then was, never any guns or knives , just bare knuckles …😂
Thanks for Great Moments of the 70er
Thank you so much. I am a SWEET Fan since was 12 years young. Andi 61.
Ich bin auch 61, hörte sie aber schon mit 10 😊
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.
This video and performance may have made my year! Thanks for the share!
Far better 🔥🔥🔥than expected ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🕺🏻
Einst THE SWEET LIVE IN OFFENBACH/STADTHALLE. 🎸🎵🎶🥁🔊🎸🥁.Habe die Eintrittskarte noch
Wunderbare Zeiten,die 70er.
🥁🎸🔊🎶🎵🤪👍😄🤗
YEYYYH' MY Favourites this song,, i love Sveet❤🤗🎶🎶💫💫💫💫💫👍😎🌅❤❤❤❤👠👠👠🎸🥁🎼🎼Thank you from Finland friends yeyyyyhh..👍👍😄
The sweet 16 was my first Single ❤
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.
Ich auch :) Ich glaube es war auf jeden Fall einmal in der Eissporthalle / Deutschlandhalle.
After all these years it's still a FKN great Riff! 🎸🎸🎸✌️
Love you guys....viva la Sweet ❤️🔥🎸❤️🔥🎸❤️🔥🎸❤️🔥
Brawo ANDY. Super
This band (original) were waaay ahead of their time!! The songs from “Desolation Blvd” still hold up today! 🤘🕊❤️🤘
R.I.P. Steve, Mick , and Brian.
was talking about early metal genre's earlier today and i think the sweet could be pioneers of speed metal.but thats just me and my opinion 🤘
@@sean-jorvikvanlife “Set Me Free”
🤘🔥⚡️🤘
@@StrdFrgman yeeesss 🤘🤘🤘
@@sean-jorvikvanlife I know Kai hansen is a fans of him when i was young!
Stole that album from my sister 50 hears ago. She never got it back. Mick Tucker was criminally underrated as a drummer.
Its way better that this band exists than not at all
Loved this show! My brother and I got to the show right as Kreator and on! Testament is my all time favorite band ever! First time I saw them live was in 1990 with Megadeth & Judas Priest! 🤘🤘
Brain, Mick Steve und Andy sind die besten ❤❤
Sounds like one of the old cover versions you used to get on those top of the pops LP's in Woolies in the 70's.
WIG WAM BAM..meine erste Single von Sweet. Meine Lieblings Band.
I had no idea these guys were still around. Great video. Thank you.
Da wird man schlagartig nochmal 50 Jahre jünger 😁
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
@@robertherzog-dy3bi Ist mir aufgefallen... Zu meiner Zeit (bin Jg.61) und in meiner Umgebung dürfte man Fan von Beiden sein...
@@knut8556 ich habe auch einen Kollegen welcher fan von Beatles und stones ist
@@knut8556 bin Bj. 55 - Slade nicht zu vergessen - Slade war der Hammer
@@goldamadine6112 Jupp! 😀
😀😀😀😀😀😀 Timeless song !!!!!!!!!!!!
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!!
Honestly… These guys really did this song justice and andy Scott sounds great. That singer did a great job too.
Song still a belter many years on?❤ great to hear it live in 2024
Outstanding standing group very good boys 👦 😂😂🎉🎉😢😢😮😮
I think Mick will be very happy with the drummer he freaking nailed it.
At least they didn’t lip sync!
High marks and thanks for the flashbacks memories
I'm a Crust / Black Metal fan mainly, but I can safely say The Sweet are amazing! I don't care what elitists say, they have no authority to tell other metal fans what they can and can't like, I enjoy what I like and always will. I've seen Sweet live twice, loved it!
Wir haben die Jungs gerade am Ber Flughafen getroffen. Super sympathisch. Danach direkt Karten fürs Huxley am 30.09.2024 gekauft 🤙Rockn Roll
I can't wait to see SWEET in 2 weeks!!
Good on him! Keeping it alive for current generations ❤🙏🤟
Rock on Andy!
Yeah the Ballroom Blitzkrieg i love it.❤
Masters, Masterpiece,,,SWEET,,,TIME,,,FOREVER,,,
Keiner spielt das Drum Intro so wie Mick! R.I.P.
Ich war nah dran...
Genau das Gleiche habe ich auch gedacht. Ein schönes Wochenende und Glück🍀Auf aus Dortmund
@@ohtoriginalhimbeertoni Ja, ich auch ...
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.
Legendär!!!!
Quality mate, did a great job.
Love this song it is timeless and never gets to sing and shout 🎉🤘
This here band shows you how hard it is to play the songs right and well. The original Sweet could kick the shit outta these guys any day if they still lived, especially the drummer. I'm glad to know Andy's still carries the torch and still has the touch.
Gracias Andy Scott por haber mantenido viva la llama hasta haber podido ver a The Sweet en directo. Me puedo morir tranquilo.
Never thought of sweet as Hard Rock back in the day!!
Saw the orig band 48 years ago. Eric Carmen was the opening act. Sweet blew the doors off the place, everyone was wowwed to the max.
Andy’s passion and a steady pay check wink wink❤
The guitar sounds f. Amazing like the studio record… great sound the guys did in such live concert. Sweet is adored in 🇧🇷
Andy Scott ist eine Legende💗🙏 Schade, dass meine anderen Sweeties nicht mehr leben.
That drummer must be knackered, he didn't stop.
Yeah, see you all in Chemnitz/Germany, 20. September 2024.
Take care Boys😎
Legendary !!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Right on, excellent.
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).
great band in the day..good on Andy
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.
Can't believe they are playing Wacken seen them at my hometown fair ten years ago
My youth. I loved being a teenager in the 70s
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
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!
Gracias Andy por tanto Rock and Roll
Super Andy and the new band members 👍
Brian was a great singer, I met him at Arabella Studios and also Mick unforgettable...
RIP
By the way I did a Cover of Fox on the run!
This son deserves to be heard,love it.
Still got the 45 with picture sleeve, Sweet !!
5th grade we would get a turntable for the library during recess and spin 45’s. This song was one of em! Circa 1975
Das waren noch richtig geile Songs 😊😊
Great history .
Look at all those DUMMY PHONES upfront watching an Incredible song thru a stupid screen,,, UN FREAKN' BELIEVABLE !! 🤣
My first concert wayyy back in the day
