I just came across these Musikladen clips & it does make me angry that Sweet is not praised for the pioneers of metal they really are. You have Andy & Steve who both had a hell of a vocal range, and unsung drumming prowess of Mick. Brian, as usual, stellar vocalist. If you listen to Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and many of the heavier metal bands you can hear Sweet's influence within their music. It's criminal they were not given the props they should have gotten.
Как говорится, искали медь - нашли золото) До кучи очень рекомендую вам другую не менее недооцененную группу - Symphony X, немного другой жанр, однако их вклад в металл также недооценён. A Sweet это конечно уже легенды... Жалко их мало кто знает
You forgot Queen ;) Influenced by Sweet like no other Band. Sweet is just the best from 70´s, many Rock, Metal,, even Punk have been inspired by them . To say it with John Miles, Sweet was my first love and it will be my last ;)
Catherine, me too! He does it as he does everything else, with style and enthusiasm! Still hurts that he passed 20 years ago. Love ya and miss ya Mick! 💔❤
I VERY rarely comment anywhere, but can't keep this to myself. Like others, I remember sweet by what i heard being played on the radio, even on AM band back in the day. As I watch more and more of the videos from this show, I became overwhelmed with feeling upset, actually angry for them and myself that all this was kept from us for so long and yet at the same time happy, actually joyful and grateful, to see them like I have never before. I had no ideal that all this was in them. I know by the mid 70's there were others inventing new sounds, new styles and the such, but it feels kinda like this... "holy sh..t, I had no ideal that these 4 guys invented EVERYTHING in and around rock and roll." had no ideal... A very big thank you to all that made it possible for sweet to finally be able to share this with the world, like all greatness should be. Right up there with the all time greats.
I would listen to the radio all night for Little Willie as an 8 year old girl. I knew there was something about this band even as an 8 year old. My local radio station played just a bunch of crap. Had I heard Desolation Boulevard as a 10 year old, I probably would have ran away from home. Surely at 13!!
@Debbie Scott You are absolutely right. I was a young guy in my late teens, early twenties back in the mid seventies and I absolutely loved watching them on tv and live. They were absolutely brilliant. It was criminal that they weren't given the recognition they deserved . So much for the so called music experts at the time, they obviously didn't recognise talent when they saw it.
We, in Russia, also know and love the SWEET. They somehow got through the Iron Curtain here. Real talent can't be stopped. 4 voices, just like QUEEN and BEATLES. Brilliant! 'Love is Like Oxygen', 'Fountain', 'Fox On The Run', 'Action', 'Peppermint Twist' cover, 'Healer', the whole 'Sweet FA', 'Give Us a Wink', 'Level-Headed' albums. Love it
Where are you from? I´m from Finland. I agree that Sweet is the most underrated band of the 70´s!!!! But many, like me, has heard Sweet in their childhood. I was too young to understand, how WONDERFUL and TALENTED Sweet was!!! As an adult, I understand that, but it was too late. I couldn´t go to their concerts, but I can listen them here in UA-cam and I´m so happy for that opportunity!!!! I LOVE SWEET, FOREVER!!! What bands do you like? Sweet of course, but what else? What kind of music do you like?
ciao, io sono italiano e ascoltavo e ancora ascolto "The Sweet" la mia Band preferita da ragazzo e da adulto. quando usciva un disco era una gioia comprarlo metterlo sul giradischi e ascottarlo ad alto volume.adesso ho 56 anni tutta la mia vita è passata con le canzoni degli Sweet
In Germany Hitparades of the 70's Sweet was in many cases number ONE - in front of Abba, Boney M. and others - I remember a Bravo classifikation of the BEST Pop/Rock-BANDS of ALL Times: Beatles, Stones, Abba, Sweet, Smokey and Status Quo ...(tempi passati)
No way any band can compete with this - this is outrageous. I had Desolation Boulevard the first day I saw it in the store....and still, I watch this and foam at the mouth and become a rabid rock n roll monster - this is LIVE, RAW, CHAOTIC and ASS KICKING. THe treasures to be uncovered here are endless
I don't understand why they didn't release this concert back then... It would be up as one of the greatest live records ever..!! At least in my opinion..! 😉👍
These guys were so good.....It's unbelievable. They set the high mark for vocal harmonies. I don't think any group since has been able to top this standard.
Roger Taylor had a very high voice. Not absolutely sure, whether the really high notes here, were by Andy or Steve. They both seemed able to achieve these high vocal levels. The, Sixteens is actually my favourite Sweet track of all time, although I appreciate many of the others from their early years especially.

Я старый меломан. Знакомился с этой группой в 1979-м году. Настоящий Глэмрок Прошло 40 с лишним лет. По моему мнению до сих пор никто не может превзойти SWEET Эта группа давно уже стала легендой. Которая внесла свой особый вклад
Was schreibst du da? Ihr kennt doch nur Gewalt, Kontrolle, Vergewaltigungen, Mord und Saufereien. Lasst uns unseren Frieden! Zieht eure Leute aus der Ukraine ab, dann könnt ihr unsere Musik wieder im ruhigen Gewissen genießen.
Согласен. Им по вокалу равных нет. Исполнитель на ударных, это не просто музыкант, а иллюзионист. Гитаристы тоже обладают высочайшей техникой. Слушаю их с 1971, тогда они играли бабл-рок, но это было красиво. Затем приблизились к тому, что называется хэви. В жанровом плане это глэм, но стилистически есть тяжёлая жёсткая музыка. Музыки у них много, есть удачные новые альбомы в 80-90, да сейчас они хороши, классика, одним словом.
A terrific live performance and absolutely stunning and incredibly talented. Every single one of these four guys rocks. I miss Sweet especially in this formation!
@@ellenr.3409 No you don't . Ellen I haven't but a little while I haven't heard anything like that but there is this Ellen Re that likes to pack crews parties. Are you her ? Or is she coping you ,synchronous monkey style 😄
Sweet waren weit besser als man früher dachte. Das Live Concert aus Musikladen ist ein Beweis. Echt Hammer. Leider 41 Jahre zu spät veröffentlicht. Komplett auf Dreier DVD BOX von 2015.
@@d.lehmann3166 Das ist echt der Hammer. Da kauft man sich in den 70ern vom Taschengeld alle Singles und LPs und kriegt dann ein halbes Jahrhundert später solche Super-Aufnahmen im Internet zu sehen, Bild und Ton....Die Tatsache, dass Sweet in den 70er so viele Hits hatten (in Deutschland mehr als Abba), war ohnehin schon ein Zeichen für ihre großartige Musik.
ugh it angers me how underrated they are. I've always liked their mainstream songs but now -thanks to quarantine boredom- I'm watching and listening to all of their stuff and I can't believe how good they are
If by "killer" you mean "embarrassing", yes. Love these dudes' music, but that _solo_ was god awful. Sweet sustained their whole career off of one album. And I love it. But they suck, and it's really too bad.
Simply fantastic: Brian feels the weight of the years fleeing forever, the wing of time you look at and it is already far away. His face, his expression changes when he sings... you can perceive sweetness, pain and nostalgia. I feel an immense affection for him, as I've never felt for any other artist. And he deserves it all...❤
Eine Superaufnahme von einem der größten Sweet-Hits - imho vom größten. Brian wollte, das hab ich irgendwo gelesen, dass man den auf seiner Beerdigung spielt...RIP
Dearest Brain, you were and you will always remain an unattainable beauty - inside and out!!! People loved you so much and they will love you for all eternity!!! You are unique and irreplaceable!!! ❤❤❤
them 4 guys made me to be a musican,. Now for over 40 Jears. They made me stay cool in youth, find a girlfriend, be cool, and made me live my own in in a better, easyer, hopefuller way. thanx sweet and god and (? laura lee...? ) respect. never forget you. ihr habt mich inspiriert, beschützt und behütet. andy... danke dass du das alles so wundervoll aufbereitest.. good bless you. Danke Steve, du hast mir Bassgitarre gezeigt und ich habe es gemacht... Brian, ich liebe deine Stimme, Mick... könntest du doch nur...trommel, trommel trommel, immer weiter..ich liebe das.
THE LIVE SHOWS BY SWEET WERE SO FANTASTIC!!! THEY SOUND LIKE MAGIC: BRIAN CONNOLY AND THE VOCALS AND BASS BY STEVE PRIEST, ALL THAT MIXED WITH THE INSTRUMENTS BY ANDIE AND MICK. GORGEOUS!!!
Amazing Live band, brilliant musicians and singers, have never got the recognition they deserve as influences on other Rock bands as they were pigeonholed as a Glam Pop Band by the media and ignored by serious music journalists, it's still sad they're undervalued and underrated, they should definitely be in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
This is amazing. Too bad that I never had the chance to see Brian Connolly live.. or the Orginial The Sweet.. :( I was born 1997.. the year Brian died.. :(
This is my second comment on this concert: Sweet was the only band that I know had the balls to incorporate pre-recorded tracks in their live performances: BLOODY BRILLIANT!! ( And have it shown on stage as well!!).
I'm just discovering them now, they're fantastic. I wonder why I never never heard them in classic rock playlists or radio stations? They should be played along side Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, and other great 70s bands; definitely underrated.
I get the impression that Sweet aren't really taken seriously by the sniffy music journalist cognoscenti, but this performance I think shows that they're a band of real craft, musicianship and, yes, sophistication. Not just for the teeny boppers methinks....
Because they did start so softly 😉 ... i loved the early songs too, because the voices are much clearer ... but all in ... they have been "Rockers" 💪💪💪💪
The Sweet for me, were the missing link from the late sixties to both metal and punk of the late 70s. The 70s glamrock stage gear on TOTP detracts from the excellent musicianship and Brian's highly versatile voice. This song spells out the death of love and flowerpower from the sixties. There riffs that would not be out of place at a heavy metal concert whilst fast energy tracks like Ballroom Blitz are precursors to punk. Truly deserve more recognition than they enjoyed.
you're spot on there. Sweet took simple rock&roll riff's to make hit singles, then they took extravagant clothing into their act and I remember Andy having 'bollocks' stitched on his back on some live act (and that was before the Pistols decided to shock the world by using the word 'bollocks' on their feature album). They just moved on being a more and more better rock band. Bad news for Sweet was they hit the charts as some sort of boysband initialy and from then on, no matter how hard they tried, they never gotten taken seriously and maybe they were just in there for a laugh (and they must have had some serious laughs along the way), but they sure were great musicians (Mick in perticular). I don't know a lot of bands that go from playing soft music into going heavier and heavier but Sweet is one of them, The Cult is one of them, Killing Joke is one of them and I love all of them.
Agree with all you said, except the bit about the glam gear diminishing the musicianship. It was just a bit of camped-up fun that fit those times, and for me it took nothing away from the musicianship. If anything, I thought it added a humorous angle, which in my opinion is something that should never be lost on rock and roll.
Cieszę się że mogę teraz ich oglądać na żywo ,bo za komuny to tylko www radiu ,jesteście super wszyscy ,a perkusista z tymi pałeczkami nie ma takiego drugiego ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ serduszka dla wszystkich
This is incredible to see such high-quality footage of this after all these years. I saw them around 78/79, or maybe 77, and they were a great live band who put on a great show.
Einfach nur GEIL! Das war noch Musik damals🤘. R.I.P. Brian and Mick! Ihr habt uns etwas wundervolles hinterlassen! P.S. wir Mädels schmachten euch noch immer an🙈😉
Das stimmt die Musik ist einfach so genial und vorallendingen Brain ♥️ der Liebling vieler Mädels damals aber auch heute noch ich glaube ich wäre damals auch son kreischender Fan gewesen hätte ich nur einmal deren Konzert besuchen können ging leider nicht für uns Ossis 😣
The Six-Teens was overlooked as an RCA single. However, this performance shows The Sweet in their majestic heartland - LIVE performance. Truly spellbinding from 4 outstanding musicians. One of the greatest English 4-pieces of all time. Real music from TOP professionals
Great, thank you guys for your music, your passion and your good looks..... Back then I was so much in love with Steve. Now R.I.P. The same goes for Brian and Mick!
I never heard Sweet like this. That energy, that talent. Amazing. You can hear that the microphones can't fully pick up the sound / the bass speaker is about to burst, but it doesn't matter.
Fantastic, was great to find these treasures,and to see them perform live.😀😀😀. I had all their albums when growing up,then bought the CD'S when they came out, definitely in my top 10 best band catatgory.

Недавно для себя открыл эту группу и понял, что в 1974 году они звучат уже как полноценный хеви-металл, как никто другой.

Super Band ich höre sie immer noch gerne, und das bei meinen 62 Jahren. Das war damals noch Handgemachte Mucke.

Really good!

THE LIVE SHOWS BY SWEET WERE SO FANTASTIC!!! THEY SOUND LIKE MAGIC: BRIAN CONNOLY AND THE VOCALS AND BASS BY STEVE PRIEST, ALL THAT MIXED WITH THE INSTRUMENTS BY ANDIE AND MICK. GORGEOUS!!!
This was what my High School Dances were like. Everyone Covered Sweet Back in the Day.😎
Amazing Live band, brilliant musicians and singers, have never got the recognition they deserve as influences on other Rock bands as they were pigeonholed as a Glam Pop Band by the media and ignored by serious music journalists, it's still sad they're undervalued and underrated, they should definitely be in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Great song from one of the best bands ever. Thank you for the music. It's still alive to this day.
Just a great band so underrated
Beatiful!!! Forever Brian 😍😘😎
This was shot 2 days before my 17th birthday! I loved them then and love them now! :) :)
A great live band
I am so grateful to all these Sweet videos, love the Sweet!!!! Love Brian Connolly, such talent. So sad he had to suffer and leave us. RIP ❤❤❤
Brian Connolly ... you were the best .
Yes, that's true.
Nobody will ever sing like Brian did 🎤🎶👍
I love you Brian Connolly forever,,,miss you ...the Sweet best band
No argument there Leena
Realy yes
He was pretty damn perfect - too perfect to ever get old.
Yo m estoy portando bien para casarme con él en el cielo
So Gorgeous
This is amazing. Too bad that I never had the chance to see Brian Connolly live.. or the Orginial The Sweet.. :(
I was born 1997.. the year Brian died.. :(
not the sweet, just (sweet)
They did start out as "The Sweet " dropping "The" later on, mainly because everyone was referring them as Sweet.
@@brucerathbonerathbone1683 they were called "sweetshop" at 1st.
I was born in 2005, 3 years after mick died.
Amazing, so many different styles and temps changes in one song. You know a song is good when you love it the first time you hear it.
One of the greatest musical performances. EVER!
God damn! That was a beautiful performance!
Video and audio is fantastic. So happy to see this!
Вы бомба ,взрывоопасная - но прекрасная ,супер офигительное выступление ! Я всегда с вами ,обожаю ! 👏👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟⚡💥🔥🎸💐
What a fu#@ing outstanding performance absolutely brilliant ,the musicianship the vocals and harmonies are second to none, ACE!!!
This is my second comment on this concert: Sweet was the only band that I know had the balls to incorporate pre-recorded tracks in their live performances: BLOODY BRILLIANT!! ( And have it shown on stage as well!!).
I'm just discovering them now, they're fantastic. I wonder why I never never heard them in classic rock playlists or radio stations? They should be played along side Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, and other great 70s bands; definitely underrated.
The part right after the guitar solo with that cascading walking down the stairs with the drums were just phenomenal
It's fantastic to see them perform live!!
So etwas gibt es heute nicht mehr und wird es auch nicht mehr geben
You're a hero, Brian Connolly!
Just wow👌 fantastic live x
We miss you Steve Priest, Desolation Boulevard was the first album that I ever bought. RIP!
I get the impression that Sweet aren't really taken seriously by the sniffy music journalist cognoscenti, but this performance I think shows that they're a band of real craft, musicianship and, yes, sophistication. Not just for the teeny boppers methinks....
Because they did start so softly 😉 ... i loved the early songs too, because the voices are much clearer ... but all in ... they have been "Rockers" 💪💪💪💪
The Sweet for me, were the missing link from the late sixties to both metal and punk of the late 70s. The 70s glamrock stage gear on TOTP detracts from the excellent musicianship and Brian's highly versatile voice. This song spells out the death of love and flowerpower from the sixties. There riffs that would not be out of place at a heavy metal concert whilst fast energy tracks like Ballroom Blitz are precursors to punk. Truly deserve more recognition than they enjoyed.
Couldn't agree more. Good ol' Pete Townshend loved them.
you're spot on there. Sweet took simple rock&roll riff's to make hit singles, then they took extravagant clothing into their act and I remember Andy having 'bollocks' stitched on his back on some live act (and that was before the Pistols decided to shock the world by using the word 'bollocks' on their feature album). They just moved on being a more and more better rock band. Bad news for Sweet was they hit the charts as some sort of boysband initialy and from then on, no matter how hard they tried, they never gotten taken seriously and maybe they were just in there for a laugh (and they must have had some serious laughs along the way), but they sure were great musicians (Mick in perticular). I don't know a lot of bands that go from playing soft music into going heavier and heavier but Sweet is one of them, The Cult is one of them, Killing Joke is one of them and I love all of them.
Agree with all you said, except the bit about the glam gear diminishing the musicianship. It was just a bit of camped-up fun that fit those times, and for me it took nothing away from the musicianship. If anything, I thought it added a humorous angle, which in my opinion is something that should never be lost on rock and roll.
Cieszę się że mogę teraz ich oglądać na żywo ,bo za komuny to tylko www radiu ,jesteście super wszyscy ,a perkusista z tymi pałeczkami nie ma takiego drugiego ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ serduszka dla wszystkich
To prawda takie byly czasy chociaz komuna dalej trwa i ma sie bardzo dobrze.
BRILLIANT !!!
This is incredible to see such high-quality footage of this after all these years. I saw them around 78/79, or maybe 77, and they were a great live band who put on a great show.
Einfach nur GEIL! Das war noch Musik damals🤘. R.I.P. Brian and Mick! Ihr habt uns etwas wundervolles hinterlassen! P.S. wir Mädels schmachten euch noch immer an🙈😉
Gute Aussage
Das stimmt die Musik ist einfach so genial und vorallendingen Brain ♥️ der Liebling vieler Mädels damals aber auch heute noch ich glaube ich wäre damals auch son kreischender Fan gewesen hätte ich nur einmal deren Konzert besuchen können ging leider nicht für uns Ossis 😣
Ich habe die Jungs live erlebt, echt schade, das die sich alle bis auf Andy aus unserer Welt verabschiedet haben.
Sweet were a great band. 4 very talented guys. RIP Brian and Mick!
Great compilation from the Musikladen, I've never seen so , thank you so much for it !! ❤️ greetz from lower saxony..
The Six-Teens was overlooked as an RCA single. However, this performance shows The Sweet in their majestic heartland - LIVE performance. Truly spellbinding from 4 outstanding musicians. One of the greatest English 4-pieces of all time. Real music from TOP professionals
Was an RCA single in UK
Great, thank you guys for your music, your passion and your good looks.....
Back then I was so much in love with Steve. Now R.I.P. The same goes for Brian and Mick!
Yes, indeed 👍
These 4 guys were the best band ever 🎶
Sweet-Music never dies...
Unforgotten and always in our hearts 💕
I never heard Sweet like this. That energy, that talent. Amazing. You can hear that the microphones can't fully pick up the sound / the bass speaker is about to burst, but it doesn't matter.
светлая память sweet !
Fantastic, was great to find these treasures,and to see them perform live.😀😀😀. I had all their albums when growing up,then bought the CD'S when they came out, definitely in my top 10 best band catatgory.
¡¡¡ Hermosa canción !!!!.... Que hermoso la canta Brian !!!! Que voz tan potente !... donde perdió la voz ?... me fascina todo el !!!!!
